Just as Madison couldn't bear it anymore and was about to push away Sally, Sally suddenly had a slight change in expression. She furrowed her brows and let Madison go.
Sally assessed Madison's figure. "Madison, is this dress a bit loose? It looks kind of baggy."
In the high-society circle, attending an evening party meant competing with one another.
Dresses and jewelry were displays meant to show off.
The topics of discussion among them included who wore the limited edition haute couture from which brand and which set of jewelry belonged to which designer. If someone wore an outdated dress, they would be immediately ostracized, not to mention accidentally wearing a knockoff.
Ill-fitting dresses were obviously categorized as embarrassing and shameful.
People around them started ridiculing Madison openly.
"She doesn't even have a fitting dress. How could she call herself Mrs. Palmer? How pitiful!"
"Cut her some slack. She just came back from exile overseas. It's good enough that she has a decent dress to wear. Look at her hairstyle. It's so old-fashioned. No wonder Mr. Palmer doesn't like her! I wonder when Mr. Palmer will divorce this woman. He should hurry up and free himself!"
As if she didn't hear what the others were saying, Sally complained to Leo. "Leo, why did you prepare such a dress for my sister?"
Madison had already anticipated such a scene. She watched Sally's performance expressionlessly, thinking that it was pretty childish.
Surprisingly, Leo spoke up to explain. "I didn't have time to ask for Madison's measurements. I thought both of you had similar figures, so I had the designer tailor it according to your size. I didn't expect it to be ill-fitting. There was also no time to make changes."
The gossiping abruptly stopped.
Sally almost couldn't maintain her smile.
She could already feel the mocking gazes from the people around her, as if they were saying she was fatter than Madison!
There was also the matter of the dress. Sally had set her eyes on it when Sprince's spring-summer collection was released. It had not been available for sale yet and could only be obtained from the designer.
Unexpectedly, Madison was the first to wear it!
Even more unexpectedly, Leo not only gave the dress to Madison but also spoke up to defend that despicable person!
Taking a deep breath, Sally struggled to maintain her composure and complained to Leo, "I see. You should be more attentive next time."
