From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 193

"Ann, where did you get that evening gown? It's absolutely stunning! Looks like a couture piece, doesn't it?"

Anthea replied with a smile, "Not only is this gown a head-turner, but it also has a unique feature."

"What feature?"

"It's temperature-regulated," Anthea added with a hint of pride.

"Temperature-regulated?" The skepticism was clear on everyone's faces.

Anthea nodded slightly and proceeded to evangelize the virtues of her high-tech gown to the intrigued crowd.

The idea of a dress that could defy the elements seemed almost too good to be true.

Seeing the doubt in their eyes, Anthea lifted the hem of her gown, revealing a stretch of her fair, elegant calf. "Just feel this fabric, and you'll understand."

With a mix of curiosity and skepticism, the others reached out and touched the hem.

The gala was held in a semi-open venue.

In December, Capital City was gripped by the chill of winter.

All the female celebs were dressed in thin, fashionable gowns, shivering in the cold, but from Anthea's dress emanated a continuous source of warmth. It was especially cozy.

"Ann, may I touch your hand?" asked a long-haired woman, eyeing Anthea cautiously.

"Of course," Anthea responded, nodding.

The woman grasped Anthea's hand, finding it pleasantly warm.

Compared to Anthea, the difference was stark: while they were freezing in their flimsy gowns, Anthea's hand was a cocoon of warmth. It was then that the women started to believe that her dress truly could regulate its temperature.

Such an invention was nothing short of a miracle for female streamers who were constantly in the spotlight at red carpet events and international functions.

"Ann, where can I buy a dress like yours?"

"I want one too!"

"Count me in."
