Translator: 549690339
Yigol Mamet was furious, âXaviera Evans is just being difficult. Your designs are very popular abroad, so why arenât they good enough for her? You worked overtime to get them done, but she still wants you to redo them? Iâm going to teach her a lesson today!â
Zara Woods verbally tried to stop him, but didnât actually hold him back. âYigol⊠Caleb, thisâŠâ
âMiss Woods, Mr. Mamet.â
Xaviera suddenly spoke up, âWhen did I say she should redo them?â
Yigol scoffed, âYou didnât? Then why not accept them? The dresses Zara designed are expensive, if you refuse them youâre ignorant!â
Xaviera let out a snort of laughter.
She raised her eyes to Zara, then asked, âCaleb, how much did these dresses cost?â
Zaraâs face suddenly changed.
Caleb answered nonchalantly, âOver eight million dollars.â
Xaviera mused, âOne dress costs over 500 ,ooo dollars, which is the price of high-end custom-made dresses. Both the material and craftsmanship must be top-notch, butâŠâ
She paused and then continued, âThese materials are of poor quality. I wouldnât even want them if they were fifty dollars!â
Yigol was enraged, âXaviera, are you saying Zaraâs dresses are worthless? Her studio only uses high-quality materials, and youâre accusing her of using inferior ones?â
âMany prestigious young ladies have requested her designs, and even delicate misses havenât complained about the materials. What kind of person are you to be so picky?â
Zaraâs eyes filled with tears, her lips tightly pursed, âXaviera, our studio only uses expensive materials, and we absolutely wouldnât use inferior ones.â âYou donât have to like me, but you canât slander my work!â
Xaviera raised an eyebrow, âMiss Woodsâ designs indeed used high-quality materials on their surface, and I can see that a lot of effort was put into the craftsmanship, making the entire dress appear very luxurious.â
Yigol scolded loudly, âYou admit that the dress is very good, but still find faults? Youâre just jealous of Zara! You should move out of Lowen Clubhouse right now, I would never agree to have you as my sister-in-law!â
Caleb swept his eyes across the room and said, âYouâre not my brother, so of course sheâs not your sister-in-law.â
Yigol awkwardly glanced at Caleb, his face red with embarrassment.
Zara complained, âXaviera, I donât know what I did to offend you. Since our first meeting youâve been targeting me. I wonât blame you, just apologize, and letâs not let our conflict affect the brothersâ relationship.â
âDid you give me a chance to explain? Besides, Mr. Mamet just assumed I was trying to make things difficult for you. Iâm Calebâs wife, and you havenât given me the basic respect I deserve!â
Xaviera spoke coldly, âEven if the dresses donât show any problems on the surface, there are issues on the inside. High-end custom-made dresses are not only beautiful but also comfortable, hence the need for high-quality materials.â
âA 500,000-dollar dress should definitely achieve this, yet Miss Woods used the roughest materials on the inside of the dress. Furthermore, the waist area is not only rough but also extremely fragile.â
Xaviera lifted the dress revealing the coarse fabric inside, with loose threads escaping and a part already torn.
Zaraâs face turned pale, and she quickly bowed her head.
Xaviera looked at her coldly, âMiss Woods designs for wealthy familiesâ daughters and wives, their skin is delicate and sensitive, requiring fine materials. They wouldnât wear rough fabrics, which would wear down the skin.â
âSince Caleb has already paid for these dresses, you donât need to redo them, but I wonât wear such shoddy work. After all, if this gets out, itâs not my reputation that will be tarnished.â
Yigol felt the rough fabric, his face filled with disbelief. âZara, what happened? The dress you made for my mother used giant silkworm silk!â Zaraâs mind went blank, at a loss for an explanation. Her face pale, lips trembling, she stuttered, âI⊠I didnât.â Caleb coldly glanced at Zara, causing her to shiver..
