Chapter 16

After confirming that the person was indeed Zoey, the foreigner finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Apologetically bowing, he said, “I am the President of AMANI Summerland District. Respectable Ms. Clarke, after searching all our specialty stores in Jorsproburgh and the central region, we found only one evening gown that perfectly fits your figure. It’s not the most expensive, priced at only 5 million dollars. Please forgive the urgency of the situation.”

*5 million? A gown for me?” Zoey was utterly confused throughout and forgot to wipe away her tears.

“Yes, we’ve come exclusively for you today. We have a team ready to assist you. Although it’s not the most expensive, it’s a masterpiece named ‘Angel’s Wings,‘ crafted by the world’s top 10 designers. It’s the only one in the world and our flagship piece in the Summerland District.”

The foreign president kept explaining, fearing they might not meet the client’s expectations.

However, when he mentioned “Angel’s Wings“, the spectators erupted.

Phoebe, Cecilia, Rachel and others had visited the most prominent luxury brand counters in the city

center of Jorsproburgh.

“Angel’s Wings” was displayed for only five days each year in the Jorsproburgh main store, attracting huge crowds, and it wasn’t available for sale to private individuals due to its exquisite and expensive nature.

In the world of luxury, there were four levels: regular goods for the affluent, limited editions, haute couture for the wealthy, and art pieces like “Angel’s Wings“, which were the highest level–a symbol of

status.

Only elites attending high–status banquets were qualified to rent and wear it, requiring perfect body

proportions.

“Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

“Ms. Zoey, there’s no mistake. Inside the vehicle, there’s a changing room. I’ve brought eight of our finest designers from the Jorsproburgh main store. If there are any minor fitting issues, we can make adjustments on the spot.”

The foreign president explained with anticipation.

With nearly 30 years of experience in the fashion industry, he could tell at a glance that Zoey’s temperament and beauty fit this gown, not diminishing its value.

“How much does it cost to rent?“/

“The rental fee is very reasonable, only 250 thousand Eldrissian dollars for onetime use, and the payment.

has already been made.”

Zoey was almost scared to tears. 250 thousand Eldrissian dollars was over 1.5 million local dollars after conversion. And it was just for one–time use. How was that reasonable?

She looked back at Cyrus and the crowd discussing the matter.

Watching the helicopter silently landing on the hotel rooftop, Cyrus said, “Let’s make do with it for now. Zoey, you and Mira go to the car to get changed. I’ll wait here for them to invite us in.”

“Make do with it?” Cecilia was surprised and raised an eyebrow at Frederick.

Frederick was also puzzled. He had seen this gown at the counter and was highly impressed.

He had even inquired about renting it for a day when his daughter gets married. However, they had declined, saying it was only for rent if the person was a top–tier celebrity.

“How did Cyrus get hold of this?”

“Mom, what’s happening here?” Phoebe asked with jealousy.

She had dressed up specially for tonight, spending hundreds of thousands on her outfit, but compared to Zoey, it was nothing.

This was not about money at all.

Mabel was furious, biting her teeth, and said, “It must be some rich old man interested in Zoey. Do you think that useless Cyrus could afford it? He can’t even buy a decent gift for your dad.”

“How influential must that person be?”

“Doesn’t matter. She won’t get in tonight, whether she wears the Angel’s Wings or not.”

Cyrus approached the anxious Zoey and comforted her, ‘Listen, only when you wear this dress can we

confidently walk in and celebrate your dad’s birthday.”

“What if I accidentally damage it? We can’t afford to compensate.

Mira also acted spoiled, coaxing Mom, just listen to Dad. He can handle anything.
