The sales assistant smiled. “Yes. Ten thousand tiny diamonds are sewn on the hem by hand. It took nearly a month to finish.”

Serena slightly nodded. It took only one look to recognize that the dress cost a fortune. She pulled Lucinda’s hand, signaling the other girl to go with her. “Thank you. We’ll check out the other dresses.”

Lucinda sighed in awe. “I didn’t expect to find a hidden gem in such a small boutique. That’s impressive of them! Too bad, someone else reserved it. Otherwise, I would purchase it for you! Call it a gift from me!”

Serena giggled. “Thanks, sweetie. It’s the thought that counts.”

A six–figure gown? I don’t think so.

Lastly, she bought a simple but elegant black dress–the safe option.

Since she wasn’t the star of the banquet, she didn’t need to stand out. A simple dress would ensure she blended into the background.

On the ride back, Amber and Trevor sat in silence.

Upset, she puffed her cheeks. Her voice carried a hint of tears. “Trevor, are you mad at me for taking Serena’s dress just now?”

Her accusation took him aback. Then, he sighed. “I’m not.”

He isn’t, he says! Even though he denies it, he has been zoning out ever since. His answers are relevant whenever I talk to him. She panicked. He’s right here, but his attention is somewhere else.

“Why haven’t you shown me affection after we went public?” She leaned toward him, her juicy lips stopped just a breath from his.

“Trevor…” she whispered coquettishly, prompting a kiss from him.

She wanted affirmation, but he backed down.

He pulled away and leaned into the seat, dodging those tempting lips. “Behave, Amber. We are going home.”

She felt a pang in her chest. “Don’t you want that”

He knew exactly what she was talking about, but he didn’t have the answer she wanted. Finally, he only sighed deeply. “Amber, you’re my little sister.”

Her body trembled in disbelief. After everything, I’m just your little sister? If that’s the case, why do you keep all the photos of me?

The conversation ended unpleasantly.

Neither of them spoke for the rest of the journey

At Southlake Villa, Yvonne handed her daughter the invitation to Saturday’s private banquet. “Kyana, Sebastian will be there. I paid off a server. This is the keycard for Room 608 on the second floor. The rest is up to you.” D

Excitement surged through Kyana. “Mom, aren’t you going with me?”

Yvonne shook her head. “It’s only for one person, so you’re going. Only those who befriend Sebastian will attend the private banquet. Getting one invitation for you cost me a lot. Rowena will be there too. Stick with her and play it by ear, okay?”

Kyana nodded vigorously. “Okay!”

She believed that once she bore Sebastian’s child, she could bring Serena to her knees.

Two days later, Sebastian showed up outside Serena’s apartment at 6 p.m. sharp.

She was about to head out when she received his call.
