Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 92

As soon as the man heard the news, his face fell, "This is a disaster. Our CEO has a crucial gala to attend tonight, and this suit was tailor-made specifically for the event. There's no way we can get it fixed in Northcrest City in time."

The store clerk looked apologetic, "I'm really sorry, sir. We can't repair it here. Perhaps you could try another store?"

"I've already asked every reputable tailor in Cresthaven," the man replied, his voice tinged with desperation.

Though her shoulders were petite, the suit's padded shoulders added a touch of strength to her appearance. The black fabric contrasted beautifully with her snow-white skin, while the sleek neckline extended elegantly to her long neck, giving her a streamlined, professional look.
