Chapter 142: Only Her Chapter 142: Only Her “Forget about where they came from.

And when she saw them, her eyes widened in awe.

They were even better than she could have ever expected.

“I never thought I would see such beautiful clothes in my entire life,” she said, almost breathless.

“I thought my influence might never reach these places.

But Nnenna, still shaken, shook her head.

“No,” she replied firmly.

“I don’t want to wear them.” Lady Rose looked at her in disbelief.

“Then, out of nowhere, a few months ago, he sends me studying materials and books, which only reached me two weeks ago.

And now, on the very day of the grand ball, he gives me clothes and various things from across the seas?!” Her chest rose and fell sharply as she scoffed.
