Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 680

Nichole was dressed in a floor-length mermaid gown that appeared stiff and cheap due to either its design or the rush in its making. The hem of the dress was awkwardly adorned with a dense array of faux diamonds, and Nichole's slender figure couldn't quite fill out the silk fabric of the dress. Her makeup was also indescribable, making the sight before everyone somewhat unbearable.

"What is she wearing? Who would use such fabric for a mermaid gown? It's quite laughable."

"I just came from the Costello family's engagement party next door, and Ms. Rowena is wearing a style identical to Mrs. Costello's. But the finished look... Tsk tsk."

"Can't she differentiate between beautiful and ugly? The Burke family must be so embarrassed now."

...

Listening to the merciless ridicule from the ladies around her, Bea felt dizzy, but Nichole seemed oblivious, perhaps because the wedding dress was worth a seven-figure sum!

Nichole had always admired the exaggerated and unique designs from international fashion shows. She insisted on having the designer's logo prominently displayed on her wedding dress to let everyone know it was a high-end custom piece.

She hadn't anticipated, however, that this move would attract sneers and disdain from the crowd.

Bea was so angry she nearly fainted. "Quick! Take that woman back! Does she not feel embarrassed at all?"

"Yes!"

Marian ran upstairs to stop Nichole, but Nichole was already walking down the stairs,

Mr. Briggs, who had just arrived, was initially beaming but soon noticed the strange looks directed at him.

Bea said through clenched teeth, "Mr. Briggs, such a fine daughter you've raised."

"Bea, it's a day of joy. What do you mean by that?"
