As Mia followed Shelly's gaze, she spotted Luna in an evening gown. Indeed, trouble seemed to follow Mia wherever she went.
Shelly's expression turned uneasy. Knowing Luna's long standing desire to become the young lady of the Barrett family, she was certain Luna would stir up trouble.
It was strange that Sharon suddenly approached them the last time they were at the café. Shelly later discovered that Luna had been spreading rumors, leading to a conflict between Sharon and Mia.
Dressed in designer clothes and high heels, Luna approached them. "Shelly, you're here for this event too? Why didn't you tell me? We could have come together."
Shelly responded directly, "Luna, this fashion show is by invitation only. Only those who have received an invitation can attend. How did you get yours?"
After all, Luna's position within the Barrett family was rather precarious. Given that even Shelly couldn't secure an invitation, it seemed unlikely that Luna could.
Luna smiled faintly and explained, "I'm here with Mrs. Barrett. She wanted to come and unwind a bit."
Shelly suddenly felt uneasy. "Aunt Sharon is so unfair. She knows I love this brand, yet she'd rather bring an outsider than me."
If it weren't for Monalize, Shelly wouldn't have been able to attend this exclusive show today.
As Sharon emerged from the restroom, she overheard Shelly's comments. Her expression hardened as she said, "Shelly, that's quite disrespectful. How can you refer to Luna as an outsider?"
Feeling defiant, Shelly retorted, "Why shouldn't she be considered one?"
Sharon let out a derisive snort and cast a glance in Mia's direction.
