I Loved You in the Dark Until Someone Loved Me in the Light novel Chapter 60

Gillian's white mermaid gown hugged her stunning curves flawlessly. Paired with her heels, every step she took was mesmerizing.

The hem of the dress swayed with her movements, exuding an indescribable allure.

The dramatic open-back design showcased the sensual lines of her spine, and her cascading waves of black hair made her look effortlessly glamorous—an absolute showstopper.

From the moment she walked in, countless eyes had been glued to her.

Compared to Hailey, they were polar opposites. One was a plain, innocent wallflower, while the other was a radiant, breathtaking beauty who commanded the room.

Gillian gave Hailey a dismissive once-over. "You're right. That dress is a perfect match for someone as tragically plain as you."

Hailey's face fell, clearly upset by the jab.

"Since you gave me some advice, let me return the favor." Gillian smiled at her. "Hailey, that Qipao is meant to be elegant and dignified. Don't wear one next time. You look too childish, you lack the aura, and honestly, you just don't have the figure for it."

Hearing that, Hailey's fake smile completely shattered.

It was true that the Qipao looked awkward on her, but she had worn it because it matched York's outfit. Gillian calling it out in public made her feel incredibly humiliated.

"I'm pregnant. It's completely normal for my figure to change," Hailey argued, her small face filled with stubborn defiance.

"Whatever makes you happy." Gillian offered a breezy smile. "They say the truth hurts. If my words offended you, just pretend I never said them."

Miles stood beside her in silence, a faint smile playing on his lips. To Hailey, that smile felt like blatant mockery.

Hailey was so utterly dismantled she looked ready to cry.

She was one second away from stomping her feet in frustration.

York, evidently hurting for his little girl, finally spoke up, his voice cold. "Since when do you have the right to judge my girlfriend?"

"Then I must ask Mr. Foster to keep his girlfriend in line and tell her not to judge Ms. Jordan," Miles countered smoothly. "To dish it out but cry when someone fires back... isn't that a bit hypocritical?"

Miles lightly placed a hand on Gillian's shoulder. "Let's go. It's time to take our seats."

The banquet hall was nearly full, packed with the city's most elite families.
