Chapter 749: Chapter 386: The Most Beautiful Time (Third Update)
Autumn Stetford finished speaking, and everyone in the living room knew whom she was referring to, and some even laughed out loud.
Mrs. Fu was very dismissive, as laughing at Lawrence Winters meant laughing at her.
Moreover, it’s not like she hadn’t bought haute couture before. She didn’t believe a century-old brand like Dior would make such a blunder.
So she walked over to Lawrence Winters, held her hand, and smiled as she said, "Mrs. Stetford means that Dior sold one design twice? But I see that my young friend’s dress is different from your daughter’s, isn’t it?"
Mrs. Sheng also stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "They are different. Firstly, the colors are different, and look at the sleeves; Ms. Winslow’s is a wrap style, while Ms. Sheldon’s is puffed."
This was the biggest difference. Unfortunately, the elegant wrap sleeves on Lawrence Winters made Ruby Sheldon’s dress look not only a bit childish but also somewhat unsophisticated. This was the fatal part.
Mrs. Fu chuckled, covering her mouth, and said, "Mrs. Sheng makes a good point, and we bought our dress from the Dior store today, saying it was a vintage style. Everyone knows, buying vintage haute couture means you can only alter the original, there cannot be a completely unique one."
The biggest issue with vintage styles is that the design cannot be unique.
Because such a design isn’t newly imagined by a designer.
Nine out of ten people in the living room had bought haute couture before, so they were familiar with vintage styles.
Reminded by Mrs. Fu, everyone suddenly understood, but looking at Ruby Sheldon’s comical appearance, no one dared to actually laugh at her, suppressing their laughter with difficulty.
Autumn Stetford focused on Mrs. Fu, thinking about how the last time Mrs. Fu accompanied Lawrence Winters to the prestigious dining event and now brought her to attend her daughter’s coming-of-age birthday party. It seems she’s determined to stand up for Lawrence Winters...
Moreover, Mrs. Fu is possibly the one woman in the world who can anger Autumn Stetford and whom Autumn Stetford doesn’t dare to cross, not even daring to give her grief afterward.
She lightly retracted her gaze, smiled, and said, "Since Mrs. Fu says so, it seems like a misunderstanding. Dior probably wouldn’t dare to do such a thing."
Autumn Stetford surprisingly backed down.
Ruby Sheldon raised her head in disbelief, staring at Autumn Stetford, feeling incredibly aggrieved.
Why?!
She was supposed to be the focal point of tonight’s party!
She blinked her eyes, clenched her fist loosely, brought it to her mouth, and whispered, "...Mommy, I want to change clothes, okay?"
This was a complaint about Autumn Stetford not standing up for her.
Lawrence Winters didn’t even have a family background, so why was she allowed to stay here?
Autumn Stetford understood Ruby Sheldon’s meaning, took her hand, and comforted her gently, saying, "No problem, today Betty is the most important, Betty can do whatever she wants."
She turned around and instructed her personal secretary to bring clothes for her to change.
Ruby Sheldon felt somewhat better, turning to look at Lawrence Winters, then at herself, suddenly seeming to realize something as her gaze swept past Lawrence Winters’s neckline.
Just like the dress, their accessories were the same, except for the color.
The necklace around Lawrence Winters’s neck was a rich, creamy yellow, while the necklace around Ruby Sheldon’s neck was a deep, bottomless black.
But both were shaped like little koi fish.
What are the odds of the accessories also being the same?
At that moment, Ruby Sheldon concluded that there was a "traitor mole" around her who had revealed her meticulously planned outfit to Lawrence Winters beforehand.
Otherwise, how could the accessories be alike by seventy to eighty percent?
The others in the living room weren’t as observant, as the similarity in the dresses was enough for a dramatic contrast, and no one paid attention to other things.
But she didn’t say anything.
To directly start a spat with Lawrence Winters in such a setting, who wasn’t even up to par, would ruin her image too much.
Ruby Sheldon wouldn’t do that.
She smilingly walked with Autumn Stetford to the living room’s left-side suite, waiting for people to bring new clothes.
For today’s coming-of-age birthday party, she prepared many outfits, so since this one clashed, she’d change into another, though she was unhappy about it.
How could Lawrence Winters have such a good figure?
She sat by the window, looking at the scenery outside and pondering silently, resting her chin on her hand.
Autumn Stetford also felt somewhat anxious, only worried about Ruby Sheldon’s unhappiness, so she sat down next to her, wanting to comfort her, and whispered, "Betty, don’t be unhappy. Actually, you don’t need to change clothes; you should wear this, and when your dad sees, he’ll sure make her look bad..."
Ruby Sheldon’s eyes turned red as she threw herself into Autumn Stetford’s arms, sniffling and saying, "But that makes me look so bad... I don’t want to be compared to her, so many guests tonight, and later we still have to eat together..."
