Chapter 311 Thoughtful
People like Edith would never reflect on themselves when something wrong happened. They would only blame others for their mistakes.
Alondra had gotten along with Edith for a long time, so she knew Edith’s character very well. With just a few words of provocation, Alondra successfully brainwashed Edith. Edith blamed all her mistakes on Kaylah, and she did not feel that she had been unkind to Kaylah in the past.
If Edith had had a better attitude toward Kaylah, Kaylah would not have been so unfeeling.
Kaylah once gave Edith gifts, but Edith did not like them at all. In Edith’s eyes, Kaylah was a vulgar person. In addition, Alondra and Cecilia had been instigating Edith, so Edith always looked down upon Kaylah.
The things that Kaylah gave Edith were often thrown into the trash can by Edith.
Because of Edith’s cold attitude, Kaylah gradually lost her enthusiasm for Edith.
When Alondra noticed that Edith was almost brainwashed by her, she immediately found the magazine photo of the dress that she asked someone to customize and placed it in front of Edith.
“Mrs. Lowery, what do you think of this dress?”
The moment Edith saw this dress, her eyes lit up.
“This is the dress I just saw at the press conference, isn’t it? It’s the main product of the ‘Hustle and Bustle‘ series launched this time, right?”
Alondra nodded with a smile and said in a praising tone, “The first time I saw this dress, I felt it was especially suitable for you. I think someone like you, who has experienced a lot of ups and downs, will be fresh, charming, and elegant after wearing it.”
These words were used in magazines to report Kaylah’s design style. Many people agreed on it online. When these words were used by Alondra to describe Edith, Edith was very happy to hear
them.
Edith smiled and waved her hand. “I’m flattered. I have aged.”
“Of course not. You are at your best age.” Alondra continued to flatter Edith. “Only people like you
are worthy of this dress and will make this dress look substantial by wearing it.”
Edith could not understand what Alondra meant, but looking at Alondra’s expression, Edith felt Alondra was praising her just now, so she accepted it with a smile.
“Indeed it is. Compared to young people like you, I’m a little less impetuous and steadier. And the color matching of this dress is beyond your control for you little girls. You can’t bring out its value
in the dress.”
Alondra was speechless.
She made fun of Edith in her heart for not having a correct self–assessment, but she still pretended
to look at Edith with admiration.
Edith was puzzled at this moment and asked, “But why are you showing me this magazine? This is Kaylah’s design. Since she is so highly regarded by those netizens, these clothes should be very popular and not easily available, right?”
Alondra smiled and gave Edith a look of relief.
“Mrs. Lowery, you know me very well. If I hadn’t gotten this done, I wouldn’t have dared to tell you
about it.”
Edith’s heart sk**p*d a beat. She couldn’t help but ask, “What you mean is…”
“I have ordered a dress for you and paid for it. You just wait to receive the gift!”
This was the surprise Alondra wanted to give to Edith.
As expected, Edith was pleasantly surprised when she heard what Alondra said. She became enthusiastic about Alondra. “Is it true what you said?”
“Of course it is!” Alondra smiled. “You have been like my mother to me over the years. You are naturally the first person I think of when I see something good.”
“You are so thoughtful. If Hendry can marry you as his wife, our family will be able to enjoy a good life,” said Edith.
