Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 932

Barclay was trying his charm on a young shop assistant nearby when he suddenly glanced over.

Tiana's gaze fell on the one wedding dress left in the boutique. It was the simplest design in the shop, modest and slightly outdated, with minimal adornments, signaling it was out of fashion.

At that moment, Endora emerged from the fitting room, radiating pride despite her still-healing wrist injury, which did nothing to dampen her spirits.

She sashayed over to Parker, her eyes gleaming with triumph as she glanced at Tiana, "Parker, you're spoiling me rotten! Letting me choose from these high-end dresses, and not leaving even one for your cousin? She's supposed to marry Barclay too, oh, except for this one off-the-rack piece you left, huh? It's a bit plain, but I guess it suits the cousin just fine. Don't you think?"

She snuggled up to Parker, her voice teasing, loud enough for everyone in the shop to hear.

Tiana forced back the paleness on her face, leaving only a boundless chill.

He humiliated her, allowing Endora to mock her in turn.

This was his cruel joke, his revenge.

Why bring Endora to choose wedding dresses in the same shop as her? Why make things difficult for her?

Tiana stood there, like a frozen puppet, silent.

This was not just a humiliation for her.

Barclay, looking at Parker's disdainful face, felt a surge of anger.

"Parker, what are you doing? My wife needs to choose a wedding dress too!" Barclay said with a forced smile, "You've taken all the nice dresses for Endora, that doesn't seem right!" The word 'wife' hit a nerve in Parker.

He had seen Barclay being overly affectionate with Tiana earlier, calling her 'darling' and 'sweetheart', and she was accepting his advances, looking like a cheap woman in love! Parker stood up, hands in his trouser pockets, towering over Barclay, making him seem smaller and weaker by comparison.

With a smirk, Parker looked down on Barclay, "Brother, buying a wedding dress is all about what you can afford. I've taken all the designs for Endora because they look good on her. As for some women, even in the most expensive dresses, they'll just look tacky, never turning into a true beauty!
