Before the words were even out, the fitting room door was
pushed open, and Madeleine walked out carefully in high heels,
holding the hem of her dress.
Roderick looked up at the sound, his gaze freezing instantly.
Madeleine was wearing a champagne–colored mermaid gown,
her waist so slender it looked like you could wrap a hand
around it, the hem of her skirt adorned with tiny diamonds that
glittered with her every move.
Her long hair was pulled up, revealing a slender neck, and two
small pearls dangled from her earlobes, accentuating her snow-
white skin.
She was breathtakingly beautiful.
The stylist beside her, looking a little nervous, walked over and
had Madeleine turn around for Roderick to see.
The back of the dress was an open–back design, revealing a patch of snow–white skin, and the cutouts at her waist subtly
hinted at her curves.

The stylist whispered, “Sir, if you feel it’s a bit too revealing, this.
dress also comes with a silk stole.”
“A silk stole?”
Roderick frowned. “Why?”
“Well… I was worried you might not approve.”
The stylist smiled; after all, he’d seen plenty of possessive
gentlemen who didn’t want their wives showing too much skin
in public.
Roderick considered it for a moment, then turned to look at
Madeleine.
“It’s your choice what you wear. You can decide for yourself.”
Madeleine hadn’t expected him to say that, and she looked at
herself in the mirror.
The open back was truly the perfect touch; even she couldn’t
take her eyes off herself.
Before she could answer, Roderick nodded at the stylist. “Thank
you, we won’t need the silk stole.”
“Alright.”
Chapter 94
The stylist let out a sigh of relief, pleased.
After all, if it were covered up, who would see the gorgeous look
he had created?
With that thought, he pushed his luck and asked if he could take
a couple of photos of Mrs. Livingston to post on his social
media account for promotion.
Although Roderick was jealous, he could only stay silent when
he saw Madeleine nod.
Five minutes later, the shares on the original photos the stylist
posted were skyrocketing.
Madeleine didn’t go to the summit. She spent some time alone
at the studio, and the driver picked her up just before the dinner
gala was about to start.
“Chase, please wait a moment. I tried calling the president, but
he’s not picking up.”
Madeleine glanced over and saw that everyone was already
going inside.

“It’s fine, I’ll go in and find him.”
With that, she opened the car door and got out herself.
Her outfit was so stunning that the moment she stepped out of
the car, cameras turned to her, and flashes went off nonstop.
Madeleine had never experienced such a spectacle. She was panicking inside but tried her best to keep her composure,
thinking she couldn’t embarrass Ricki.
Lifting her skirt, she walked across the red carpet. As
Madeleine walked, she heard voices talking behind her, their
tone full of mockery.
“Didn’t Mr. Carroll bring Fiona today?
Is someone planning to go in and crash the party?”
“Her?
What trouble can a people–pleaser like her cause? She probably
can’t even get in the door.”
Madeleine’s eyelid twitched. That “people–pleaser” comment
was about her, wasn’t it.
“Wearing something so revealing… shameless. Who is she

trying to show off for? Even if she got naked in Mr. Carroll’s bed,
he wouldn’t give her a second look.”
Madeleine took a deep breath and glanced behind her out of
the corner of her eye.
Two women, also dressed lavishly, were approaching her,
smirks of ridicule on their faces.
The world of Male–oriented Web Novels is really something
else. The female characters are always so one–dimensional, full
of catfights.
