Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 185

Ten days later,

Javier threw an extravagant party for Allison. The celebration took place at Javier's newly acquired estate, kicking off at seven in the evening. Allison had been up since eight that morning, getting ready.

At the last Fisher family gathering, Emily had remarked that a lady ought to wear a gown. Allison considered having one custom-made at Oak Lake's fanciest boutique, but, given the hall's vibe, she thought better of it.

This time, her dress was a pale blue, off-the-shoulder number in the Rococo style, inspired by Marie Antoinette's iconic gown from the 1956 film "The Queen's Affair."

The dress boasted layers of petticoats and hoops, creating a grand and luxurious silhouette. Underneath, a stiff corset cinched her waist and lifted her bust, highlighting her curves to perfection. The gown's silk fabric was lavishly adorned with lace and pearls, radiating elegance and grandeur.

To perfectly complement the gown, the stylist adorned Allison with a platinum blonde wig, styled in a sophisticated updo. The top was pulled back into a neat bun, while the bottom cascaded in elegant European curls on either side, embellished with accessories to match the dress.

The estate was nestled in the western suburbs, roughly an hour's drive from Allison's apartment. At five in the afternoon, Joshua arrived at the stylist's shop to pick Allison up. He was momentarily struck by her stunning appearance.
