NovelApexChapter 1183:
Gracie clenched her fists, staring at the red stain spreading across the bodice of her designer gown. It had cost
over two hundred thousand—everything she had left in her account. And she hadn't brought a spare. Besides, a
dress stained with red wine was almost impossible to clean; it was completely ruined. She gave an angry snort
and turned to leave.
Patrick stood nearby and said, “I saw what happened! She meant to do that earlier. She angled the glass right at
Brenna!”
Brenna spun slightly, feeling the cold seep through the back of her dress. Whether Gracie had done it
intentionally or not, she couldn't walk around like this. But she hadn't brought another outfit.
She glanced around and caught sight of the host. Conroy, having heard the commotion, approached and took
one look at her soaked dress. Without a word, he shrugged off his jacket and placed it gently around her
shoulders.
“Your dress got dirty, Ms. Harper? Don’t worry; we've got a few extra gowns in the changing room. I'll take you
there.”

He gave a reassuring nod. “I've hosted more of these parties than | can count. Things go wrong, so we plan
ahead.”
Brenna followed him to the changing room.
Not far off, Rosie strolled over, holding a glass of wine. “Lilith! Miss Moore!”
Lilith recognized Rosie immediately. They'd met long before she met Brenna. She only offered a polite smile to
Rosie, then turned, ready to follow Brenna to the changing room.
Ellie didn’t want to talk to Rosie either. She was about to do the same.
But Rosie wasn’t so easily brushed off. “Miss Moore, seeing you reminds me—I need to place an order for some
outfits soon. My husband's campaign is kicking off in a few months, and he’ll need to look his absolute best. Ellie,
I've heard your designs are internationally acclaimed. Got any suggestions?”
Lilith, realizing she wasn’t part of the conversation, made a quiet move to leave. However, Rosie quickly stopped
her. “Lilith, where are you rushing off to? It's been forever since we last talked. Stay. I'd love to catch up with
you.”
Lilith paused and glanced in the direction Brenna had gone. It was just a wardrobe change; what could possibly
go wrong anyway?
Meanwhile, Brenna stepped into the changing room, only to find Gracie already there, flipping through the
dresses.

search. But the moment she peticed
