Chapter: 241
But before she could even take her first step, Florence pulled her back.
“What are you doing, Julie? Of course, you’re welcome here! Aren’t they just a pair of earrings? I’ll lend them to you!”
“Mom! You-!”
“Shut it!”
Florence whipped around and shot him a glare.
“You’re her older cousin! Why do you keep picking fights with her? Can’t you be more generous?”
“Fine! Keep siding with her then. See if I care!” James was so angry that he stormed out and slammed the door.
Dahlia frowned. It wasn’t the earrings that she was concerned about, but Julie’s domineering attitude did not sit well with her.
“Dahlia, you do not mind me wearing your earrings, do you?” Julie smiled as she touched the earrings gently.
“It’s up to you.” Dahlia could not be bothered to continue speaking to her.
To begin with, she was not comfortable with Matt’s gift to her.
“Hehe! Thank you, Dahlia.” Julie beamed brightly as she continued applying her makeup.
That evening at Kingdom Hotel, a black Mercedes–Benz rolled up to the main entrance.
The door opened, and Dahlia and Julie got out of the car.
Dahlia dressed down for the occasion in a black dress and black heels. She kept her accessories simple too.
Julie, on the other hand, went all out and dressed herself up, almost looking like a peacock.
She had jewelry from head to toe and looked dazzling under the lights.
To further accentuate the million–dollar pair of ruby earrings, she even did her hair up in a chignon.
She was out to be in the limelight.
“Wow! What a stunning lady! She looks like a celebrity!”
“I think she looks even more attractive than any celebrity out there! Her looks and elegance are other–worldly.”
When the both of them got out of the car, a bunch of guests at the entrance turned to look at them. However, most of their attention was on Dahlia.
Despite Julie’s showy appearance, she did not receive much attention
After all, it was clear that Dahlia was far superior to her in all aspects, from looks to figures. Julie’s extravagant outfit alone was not enough to make up for what she lacked.
“Hmph!” She was not pleased.
