A simple beige fitted knit short-sleeve paired with black wide-leg trousers instantly gave Damaris an aura of elegance and beauty.
She looked like a glamorous female executive from a TV drama.
Though she was a middle-aged woman, she possessed a unique charm of her own.
Shedding her previously loud and chaotic wardrobe, Damaris vaguely realized that her current vibe closely resembled that of Eleanor Remington.
Did simple colors and designs really create that kind of elegant aura?
Damaris tried on outfit after outfit in front of the mirror, while Mika stood behind her, offering critiques and making adjustments.
Neither of them noticed that right behind them, Seraphina Sutton was walking past with her family's maid.
Spotting Mika in the boutique, and a nearly unrecognizable Damaris, Seraphina stopped in her tracks, a look of suspicion and disgust crossing her face. "Why hasn't her mother left yet?"
Old Mrs. Prescott had been discharged from the hospital that morning.
Since she only suffered a hairline fracture, the doctors provided basic treatment and advised her to recover at home.
Touched by Seraphina's constant presence by her bedside over the past two days, the old lady gave her a credit card right upon discharge, telling the maid to accompany her and buy whatever she pleased.
Seraphina had already ordered plenty of clothes and bags from high-end luxury boutiques. She had only come down to this more affordable floor to grab a coffee, completely unexpecting to run into Mika and her mother.
She certainly hadn't forgotten how the two of them had utterly humiliated her in front of Lucas Lancaster.
Especially after seeing the photos Mika posted on social media yesterday—and the fact that Lucas had liked them—her resentment toward Mika had only grown deeper.
"Is everything alright, Miss?" asked the maid, looking in the same direction but failing to notice anything unusual.
"It's nothing, just saw someone I despise."
Seraphina withdrew her gaze but turned to the maid. "Tell me, if a middle-aged woman who usually dresses like a cheap tart suddenly cuts her hair short and starts wearing modest, elegant clothes... what does that mean?"
The maid connected the dots, spotting Damaris trying on clothes in the store, and ventured a guess.
