Chapter 796
Making a fool of herself in front of so many elites was also dragging the Vinton family’s name through the mud.
Especially today, at Serena’s Debutante Ball.
She refused to let anyone ruin this night.
Kiera walked right up to Isabella. “If you didn’t have a suitable gown, why didn’t you just tell the family p>
“Look at yourself. Parading around the ballroom in a cheap knockoff. People who don’t know better will think the Vinton family abuses you and can’t even afford to buy you a decent dress p>
Isabella bit her lower lip, the tears threatening to spill. “Grandma, I p>
“Enough.” Kiera interrupted with a sharp frown, her eyes heavy with disappointment. “Go up to the dressing room and take that… thing off. There are plenty of backup gowns up there p>
Isabella couldn’t hold back the tears any longer. They streamed hotly down her face. This time, she wasn’t faking it. The humiliation was tearing her apart from the inside.
She choked back a sob, her voice shattering. “I-I’m sorry, Grandma… I’ll go change right now p>
Covering her face, unable to endure another second of the crowd’s mocking stares, she fled up the stairs to the second-floor dressing room like a beaten dog.
She was furious.
She was violently hateful!
When the Vintons prepared gowns for Serena, they completely forgot she even existed.
And now they blamed her for not begging them for a dress p>
If they had just prepared a dress for her in the first place, why would she have ever worn this piece of trash p>
Thinking about how this dress had completely destroyed her reputation p>
Isabella felt a murderous rage boiling in her blood.
She stormed into the dressing room and violently locked the door behind her.
“Ahhhhhh p>
She screamed like a lunatic, crying and cursing uncontrollably.
She grabbed an armful of expensive cosmetics from the vanity and aggressively swept them onto the floor.
The woman staring back at her from the mirror had smeared makeup and disheveled hair. She looked like an absolute psycho.
Isabella trembled uncontrollably with rage.
She yanked out her phone and furiously dialed Agnes’s number.
The moment the call connected, she screamed hysterically into the receiver.
“Agnes, did that bitch Serena buy you out too?! Are you two working together to play me for a fool p>
Agnes was stunned by the outburst but quickly replied with frantic concern. “Miss Isabella, how could ever be bought by that country. bumpkin? I’m your nanny watched you grow up and took care of you since you were a baby. In my heart, you’re my own flesh and blood. Why would I ever team up with that deadbeat bumpkin to trick you? Miss Isabella, what happened? Aren’t you at the gala p>
“Stop acting!” Isabella shrieked through her tears. “What kind of garbage dress did you give me?! You said it was YB Atelier’s masterpiece! You lied! It’s a fake! It’s a cheap knockoff p>
“I paraded around the gala in a cheap fake, while Serena… that bitch is wearing the authentic Astral Symphony! Everyone looked at me like was a clown! My reputation is completely ruined
“Impossible!” Agnes’s voice skyrocketed in pitch, thick with agitation, “To get that Astral
Symphony, I pulled so many strings. I begged so many people and paid millions of dollars in rental fees just to borrow if from YB. And for millions of dollars, you only get to wear it for one night. It has to be
returned in pristine condition
tomorrow! How could it possibly be a fake p>
Millions of dollars in rental fees.
If it was a fake.
The sheer amount of money involved would lock the scammer in prison for life!
Isabella clearly realized this point too.
Millions of dollars?
Agnes spent millions of dollars to rent a dress, and it turned out to be a fake?
