Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right by Czy Season

Chapter 717

Shelia was there draped in a floor-length mermaid dress, but something was off.

The dress looked stiff and cheap, the hem overloaded with a chaotic mess of rhinestones that caught the light in all the wrong ways. The fabric pooled awkwardly around her feet, the weight of it too much for her thin figure to carry gracefully. Her makeup, rather than enhancing her features, only served to accentuate the awkwardness of the ensemble.

The guests began to whisper among themselves.

"What on earth is she wearing? Who even uses that kind of fabric for a mermaid gown? It's ridiculous."

"I just came over from the Houstons' engagement party, and Ms. Frazier was wearing the same dress. But the difference is so great."

"Can't she tell what looks good and what doesn't? The Nichols are losing face big time."

...

Melody felt her head spinning with embarrassment. Shelia, however, remained oblivious to the scorn. In her mind, the dress was worth seven figures. There couldn't be anything wrong with it.

She had seen extravagant, avant-garde designs on the international runway shows. Each high-end designer brand aimed to stand out with bold, personalized choices. Wanting to make sure everyone knew this was a top-tier piece, Shelia had even requested the designer to slap the brand's logo onto the gown.
