Chapter 495

Ten days ago, Kayla was trying on a new dress–a light blue, off–the–shoulder gown with a flowing hem that fluttered gracefully as she walked, giving it the appearance of rippling water. It was handpicked for her by Gabrielle, and Kayla adored it, admiring herself from every angle in the mirror.

She eagerly picked out various pieces of jewelry to match, opting for items that were both expensive and unique. She clung to one piece, unwilling to part with it, while coveting another with longing eyes, Immersed in her indulgence, Kayla wished she could wear all the jewelry at once.

Behind her, Gabrielle watched with a hint of contempt in her eyes, scoffing inwardly, “So petty and unsophisticated. No matter how pampered she was by the Fullers for over a decade, she can’t change her true nature.”

Gabrielle stepped forward and asked with an air of charity, “Do you like them? Then take them all. Have the staff pack everything up and send it to the Carrell residence.”

“Thank you, Aunt Gabrielle!” Kayla exclaimed in delight, clinging to Gabrielle’s arm and affectionately saying, “Aunt Gabrielle, you’re the best!”

“If you really think so, then help me out with something” Gabrielle patted Kayla on the cheek, then said with a smile, “My girl, take a few of my men with you and bring the Fuller couple to me.”
