Chapter 1303
Chapter 1303Stella was taken aback upon hearing what Felicity had said."It's just better if you stay cautious," Felicity advised.
Suddenly, the door swung open. Aldor and several others entered the apartment one after another. Each of them was carryingtwo to three sets of dresses wrapped in dustproof covers. They then arranged themselves in a straight line in the living room.
"Ms. Jewell, Mr. Kane personally curated these dresses for you. Please take a look and see if any of them catch your fancy. | canmake some adjustments if none of them appeals to you,” said Aldor.
Stella could not believe what was happening, and Felicity's jaw dropped in astonishment. "Is this how you always choose youroutfits?”novelbin
Stella rubbed her temples and said, "Aldor, today is Jaylene's birthday. Do you think that these attires are suitable? | don't wantto steal the spotlight."
Aldor also felt helpless in the situation. "I did remind Mr. Kane about it, but he insisted that flamboyance is your style. He eveninstructed me to bring all your jewelry over for you to choose." He then signaled for the men behind him to open the boxes theywere carrying, and it revealed a dazzling array of jewelry.
Stella was at a loss for words.
Meanwhile, Felicity's jaw dropped even wider. She turned to Stella and asked, "Did you have to do this for every event you hadin the past?”
Stella did not reply. During her younger days, she deliberately wore bold outfits to irk those who gossiped behind her back. It wasa conscious act to provoke them. Now that she was more mature, she found that there was no need to do so anymore. ‘Oddlyenough, Keegan seems to regress in maturity,’ she thought.
"I'm not wearing these. Call Keegan and have him take it back. I'll just select something from my wardrobe."
"Why don't you contact Mr. Kane yourself, Ms. Jewell? He won't listen to me," Aldor suggested.
Following that, Stella reluctantly dialed Keegan's number.
As soon as he picked up, he asked, "Have you chosen something from the outfits | sent over?"
"No, because | won't be wearing them."
“Everyone dresses formally for a birthday celebration. So, you should too. It's common etiquette," Keegan reasoned.
“Even so, I'm not going to put on an extravagant dress to Jaylene's birthday party, you nitwit!"
Aldor and the others were all taken aback when they heard Stella call Keegan a nitwit. However, Aldor maintained a composed
demeanor.
‘Even if these dresses weren't bought outright, merely lending them would incur substantial costs. If Ms. Jewell found out, she'dlikely give a three-day-three-night tongue- lashing to Mr. Kane. Calling him a nitwit will only be scratching the surface,’ hethought.
"You'd still draw attention even if you're wearing a potato sack. Others use clothes to complement themselves, but youcomplement the clothes,” said Keegan.
His words left Stella speechless. ‘Since when was this guy so good at smooth talking?’
"| think | should dress based on the occasion. | don't want others to outshine me at my own birthday party. So, it's best if | keep itdown a notch. Don't make others hate me, Keegan."
"Maybe Aldor can offer you some plain options to consider," Keegan tried to reason. As Stella was about to object, he continued,"Come on, your brother would never allow me to be with you if he found out that | couldn't even buy you a dress."
Upon hearing that, Stella begrudgingly agreed.Aldor acted swiftly and replaced the first set of dresses with another selection for Stella to choose from.
Among the many options, Stella opted for a white dress with medium-length sleeves that was suitable for the weather. Thebottom of the dress was covered with a light tie-dye pattern that made it look fresh and elegant.
