Chapter 466:
Caught off guard by Katelyn’s directness, Bernice felt a deep sense of injustice wash over her. Her eyes welled up, and her nose twitched, signaling an imminent flood of tears.
Katelyn’s heart sank, seeing Bernice so upset, torn between frustration and sympathy.
Yelena then chimed in, “It’s only a dress. There’s no need for all this drama, as if I’d be left with nothing else to wear p>
Yelena then walked away, returning to her room without another word.
At that moment, Callum finished his phone conversation and walked back to the group. His expression was unreadable, his eyes dark and guarded.
Katelyn sensed Callum’s displeasure, knowing he was restraining his emotions because Bernice was his niece after all.
Choosing her words carefully, Katelyn said, “I’m sorry, brother. It wasn’t my intention to cause such a scene. Bernice, she’s just p>
Callum gestured for her to stop, preferring to leave the topic unresolved.
“That’s enough,” Callum said. “Yelena doesn’t even need the dress p>
The situation left Katelyn embarrassed by her own good intentions that had backfired. She managed only an awkward smile in response.
Bella, observing from a distance, reveled in the unfolding drama, her delight barely contained.
For Bella, this was a day of great joy, one where seeing Yelena taken down a notch was particularly thrilling.
Yelena returned shortly, dressed down in jeans and a white hoodie, her hair pulled back into a high ponytail that accentuated her vibrant demeanor.
Upon seeing Yelena’s casual look, Bella’s face fell, a flicker of envy passing through her eyes.
Bella silently sighed at the unfairness of it all. Yelena always looked effortlessly stylish, while Bella always tried so hard and still felt her own appearance didn’t quite measure up.

“Let’s go,” Yelena said to Callum.
She appeared calm and collected, as though the earlier incident hadn’t bothered her at all.
Whether Yelena truly didn’t care or was simply acting, she maintained perfect composure, leaving nothing to criticize. Callum paused and then said to Yelena, “Hold on a moment.” Yelena paused, finding the delay unusual.
Shortly after, Sebastian, the butler, came in announcing the arrival of the guests.
Yelena was escorted downstairs by Callum.
Their progress sparked curiosity among the others, who trailed them closely.
Particularly intrigued was Bella, pondering what Callum had planned.
Upon entering the living room, they encountered an unexpected scene. What had been an empty area was now populated with racks of designer clothing, resembling the setup of a luxury store.
Yelena instantly recognized the collections; they were all from Moda Style.
Having designed most of the pieces herself, Yelena identified them without hesitation.
At that moment, Brody entered, wheeling in yet another rack. He warned the staff, “Handle these with care. Ensure nothing gets damaged p>
Brody’s gaze inadvertently met Yelena’s, and for a split second, their eyes locked.
His reaction was immediate; he stiffened, and a slight twitch appeared on his lips, signaling regret over his unintended words. Yelena quickly connected the dots. The “fool with too much money to spare” Brody had been referring to was actually Callum. While Brody was aware that Yelena had reunited with the Harris family, he typically stayed out of the rumor mill and was unaware that this was her residence. Only upon seeing her in this setting did the pieces fall into place for him.
