Jessica regained her confidence. She shot a provocative glance at Wendy before heading into the fitting room to try on the dress.
It didn’t take long before Jessica came out, and both Lilian and Trish immediately praised
her.
“Jessica, you look stunning!”
Jessica certainly looked beautiful in the lace dress, but there was an odd expression on her face. She felt like the waist was too tight.

When she was in the fitting room, she had to suck in her stomach just to get the zipper up.
She twirled in front of Stanley, holding the dress. “Stanley, do I look good?”
Stanley stared at Jessica, silent.
Lilian quickly jumped in, “Of course you look amazing, Jessica! How could you not? You’re the lead dancer in ballet. You’re leagues above all those housewives!”
No sooner had Lilian finished speaking when a loud “rip” echoed through the room–the fabric of Jessica’s lace dress had split at the waist.
Lilian, stunned, went silent.
Jessica let out a sharp scream and immediately reached to cover her waist.
The dress had actually torn!
How could something so embarrassing happen to her? And in front of both Stanley and Wendy, no less.
The saleswoman said awkwardly, “This lace dress isn’t really your size, miss. You need a larger one.”

It wasn’t a huge deal to wear a bigger size, but Jessica was too proud. She felt deeply humiliated.
Samuel burst into laughter. “Ms. Jessica, do you usually wear this size? If so, you’ve definitely gained some weight recently. Your waist is thicker now.”

Samuel continued, “But don’t take it too hard. I know you work hard to keep your figure as the lead dancer, but Wendy’s waist has always been naturally slim. There’s no comparison.”
Jessica, humiliated, was left fuming.
She glared at Wendy, her voice filled with venom. “Wendy, was this your plan all along? You knew I couldn’t fit into this dress, and you still let me try it on. You just wanted to watch me make a fool of myself!”
Wendy blinked innocently. “You should know your size. How would I know whether you could fit into this dress?”
Jessica was left speechless. She opened her mouth to say something, but Stanley’s deep, magnetic voice interrupted.
“Enough.”
Jessica looked up, meeting Stanley’s cold, emotionless gaze.
He gave her a quick glance, showing no emotion, just a distant, aloof tone. “Stop arguing.”
Lilian quickly stepped in to cover Jessica. “Go and change out of that dress right now.”
Jessica’s face turned pale. She knew she had embarrassed herself in front of Stanley. Reluctantly, she made her way back to the fitting room.
Samuel wrapped his arm around Wendy. “Let’s go. Let’s shop at some other stores.”
Wendy, having seen the drama unfold, had no interest in staying any longer. “Alright, let’s

With that, Wendy and Samuel turned to leave.
