Chapter 409
If this was how Charlotte wanted to play the game, Lucy did not hesitate to strike back. She was determined to make Charlotte understand the consequences of speaking recklessly and making a fool of herself in front of the entire nation.
"Charlotte, this is the dress you gave me. Look, I just made some alterations."
Lucy knew that she had to speak sarcastically to hit Charlotte where it hurt.
"Look at my outfit. Don't you think it looks great after I altered it? I asked the seller about this dress you gifted me, and they said it only cost 20 dollars. Is the royal family of Charleston going through a tough time financially, which was why you had to get me a cheap dress?
"I personally don't mind it, but I can't embarrass the royal family at such a grand event like the Wine Festival, don't you think? So, I decided to alter it myself."
Lucy's words left Charlotte speechless, and the reporters were about to bombard Charlotte with their questions.
"Princess Charlotte, is that true? As the eldest princess of Charleston, why did you gift your sister a cheap dress?"
Lucy had endured a lot of hardship in the past and faced ostracism at Leon Corporation, so she knew that every penny was hard-earned.
She genuinely did not mind wearing a dress worth 20 bucks, but she knew that Charlotte was doing it to humiliate her. Thus, she had to criticize the dress and call it 'cheap'. In the past, she would not have minded wearing it a few times.
With no response from Charlotte, the reporters turned to Lucy. "Princess Velda, we didn't expect you to have such amazing craftsmanship that you even designed the dress on your own. Did you study fashion design professionally?"
The guests and reporters present thought that the dress was custom-made by a high-end designer, only to find out that Lucy had crafted it herself. Charlotte knew that if she did not take action to salvage the situation, she would be drowned in the public's criticism.
"Lucy, I didn't mean to give you that dress. I actually wanted to give you my best dress, but I accidentally grabbed the wrong one."
Lucy raised an eyebrow, not bothering to expose such a feeble lie. Anyone could tell from her words that all she wanted was to turn her into a joke.
If Charlotte had been honest, perhaps Lucy would have respected her a little. However, seeing as she still stubbornly stuck to her lies, Lucy had no intention of showing her any mercy.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I
think there should be a noticeable difference between an expensive dress and a cheap one. Unless. there's something wrong with eyesight, you shouldn't have
mistaken the two dresses. Content

Charlotte's face turned red from anger, but she could not lash out in front of the reporters as they were watching their every move. If she exploded now, she might end up as tomorrow's headline. Content

“Of course, of course... It was a mistake, so please don't take it to heart,” Charlotte said hastily before lifting her skirt and running upstairs.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
