These two gowns represented their most dedicated work. They had even made a special trip to Beatrice’s ancestral home for inspiration–a journey that had ended with them saught in a sudden landslide…

They were truly dresses with a story.

Isabelle genuinely didn’t want to simply take them back and hang them in the studio’s display window, watching them grow dust as people passed by day after day, never being worn to showcase their beauty.

Diana thought for a moment, then sat down beside her.

Here was a pregnant woman working so diligently–how could she just stand by and watch?

Besides, what Isabelle said resonated deeply.

Every garment seemed to carry a fragment of its creator’s spirit. Once worn, it came to life, merging with the wearer.

Compared to the backup gowns, even if they were the studio’s prized pieces, they couldn’t compare to the custom–made dresses born from longing and perfected over weeks of anticipation.

Beatrice hadn’t pressed the issue because Isabelle and Diana had already demonstrated their utmost sincerity. On one hand, she didn’t want to dismiss their efforts; on the other, what had happened within the Crowther household was not truly their responsibility.

Yet they had still done everything possible to salvage the situation, which deeply moved Beatrice.

Isabelle and Diana worked in focused silence. Bruce stood guard outside the door. Bianca came by once during that time with some refreshments.

Bruce accepted the tray but later disposed of the contents discreetly. He then retrieved the snacks Damian had instructed him to bring from the car.

The entire morning passed with Isabelle and Diana working in the room, white Bruce sat on a chair by the door, boredam setting in as he crossed his legs and quietly enjoyed a lollipop.

Bianca lingered in the corridor two or three more times, and Bruce occasionally directed a low whistle in her direction.

She didn’t dare approach again.

Around noon, Diana finally stood and stretched as she walked out of the room.

“Bruce, are you whistling at a bird or something?”

She yawned and glanced around but saw no birds Crowther Villa didn’t keep any

Bruce shifted in his seat. “Something like that.

Beatrice invited them to stay for lunch, but they declined, planning to return to the studio first to shower and change into fres clothes before coming back.

Beatrice didn’t object, wanting to give them time to rest after sitting and working intently all morning.

Back at the studio, Bruce retrieved the footage from the hidden camera. It confirmed their suspicion–it was indeed Bianca.

Late the previous night, Bianca had slipped into the room, avoiding the others, and deliberately tampered with the garments.

Isabelle and Diana took quick showers, then settled on the upstairs sofa in comfortable loungewear, sipping cool lemonade and reviewing the footage.

“Do you think she did this to get back at Beatrice, or to cause trouble for us specifically?” Diana couldn’t help but wonder.

Isabelle leaned back on the sofa, resting her legs across Diana’s lap. “Whoever her target was, her intentions were clearly malicious.”

“So how do we handle it?”

“It happened at Crowther Villa, and she’s one of Beatrice’s staff. Naturally, we leave it for Beatrice to address. If it turns out we we the intended target, that’s a different matter.”

Isabelle nudged Diana’s leg with her foot. “I’m not going tonight. Do you think you can manage on your own?”

Diana glanced sideways at her. “That doesn’t seem fair…”

Tonight’s gala would undoubtedly be filled with so–called high–society socialites. Beatrice’s gown alone would draw significant attention, and Beatrice knew how to navigate such events–there would likely be numerous new orders coming their way.

The thought of facing that alone made Diana uneasy.

Usually, even if Isabelle simply stood there quietly, Diana felt reassured. But going solo, she worried she might inadvertently say the wrong thing to the wrong person.

“It’s a perfect opportunity for you. Besides, both my mothers will be there. Are you really worried someone might give you a hard time?” Isabelle yawned. “It’s time to get some practice. Otherwise, when I truly step back, you’ll be completely on your own.”

That was true, but Diana still felt a flutter of nerves.

In the evening, Diana brought the video evidence to Beatrice’s birthday gala and presented their gift.
