Whitney clearly wasn't ready to back down. She sneered, "Who even knows if this girl is telling the truth?"
"For all I know, you two cooked up this lie just to scam me out of my ticket!"
Yes, that had to be it.
There was no way she was falling for Julia's trap!
Wasn't this brat supposed to be hopelessly obsessed with chasing Elvis around the globe?
Since when did she suddenly grow a brain?
"Nobody is scamming you. If you're desperate for a custom SUNNY gown, just admit it." Julia waved her off in sheer boredom.
She saw right through Whitney. All that loud talk about boycotting the brand was just hot air; she desperately wanted the clothes.
It made total sense. The prestigious annual debutante ball was right around the corner, and Whitney wanted a bespoke SUNNY gown to crush the competition.
Honestly, Julia wanted exactly the same thing.
The only difference was that Whitney wanted to flaunt her dress to attract a horde of wealthy bachelors, while Julia only had one target in mind.
She had only ever wanted one man.
Seeing the two heiresses devolve into another shouting match, Claire quietly slipped away.
She wasn't close enough to either of them to play peacekeeper.
"Claire!"
Mabel had come out specifically for the new SUNNY collection, totally shocked to run into Claire at the launch gala.
They had crossed paths a few times before and had instantly hit it off.
Mabel was thrilled to see her.
Claire smiled and greeted her warmly. "Mabel, you're here too."
Mabel nodded eagerly. "I'm obsessed with SUNNY's style. Even when they were only selling overseas, I used to hunt down their pieces."
Ever since SUNNY established a local presence at VIA Metropolis, Mabel had practically become a permanent fixture at the boutique.
She loved vintage-inspired couture and classic elegant silhouettes, and every single season, SUNNY released stunning pieces that fit her aesthetic perfectly.
Most of her social circle shared her passion for timeless fashion, and they constantly raved about the brand's impeccable craftsmanship.
"I heard there's a lottery for a custom design from the chief designer tonight. I'm praying I get picked."
