Chapter 468
Chapter 468:
Nonetheless, Bella feigned enthusiasm and began to browse.
She had to concede, the clothes from Moda Style were indeed beautifully designed and of high quality. It didn’t take long for Bella to select a few pieces she genuinely liked.
As Bella reached for a dress, she noticed Yelena’s hand approaching the same rack, hovering near the piece she desired. Determined not to miss out, Bella quickly stepped forward and touched the dress.
“Yelena, this dress p>
Yelena looked at Bella calmly and said, “That dress isn’t really my style. I was just about to set it aside. If you like it, it’s yours. I won’t wear all of these anyway p>
Yelena had said it on purpose, just to irritate Bella.
While Bella and Yelena engaged in their silent rivalry, Bernice watched from the sidelines, filled with envy.
Bernice’s clothes were nice, but they paled in comparison to the renowned Moda Style. Clothes from the Herrera Group were luxurious, indeed, but Moda Style garments were coveted status symbols due to their custom and limited-edition nature, which minimized the risk of wearing the same outfit as someone else. Now, with Callum having purchased the entire collection, these designs were inaccessible to others.
Bernice wanted to ask for some too, but considering her earlier outburst, where she had demanded Yelena remove her dress, she hesitated.
“Mom…” Still somewhat hopeful, Bernice tugged gently at Katelyn’s sleeve.
Katelyn understood Bernice’s desire immediately. Bernice had always favored Moda Style, and aside from a few pieces from the Herrera Group, her wardrobe was dominated by Moda Style’s designs. The sight of so many in one place was overwhelming, akin to having a luxury mall in their home.
Naturally, Bernice was thrilled.
However…

Katelyn shook her head, signaling a no.
Bernice couldn’t see why not. There were plenty of clothes, and Yelena couldn’t possibly wear them all. Why couldn’t she have some?
“Mom, but…” Bernice persisted, unwilling to let go of the opportunity.
Katelyn sighed. “Bernice, don’t you get it? Your uncle brought all these clothes here to make a point. What you did earlier was really out of line p>
If Bernice pushed her luck now, Katelyn wouldn’t be able to help her anymore.
At that moment, Callum’s phone rang. It was Cayson calling to ask why they hadn’t arrived yet.
The movie theater was already booked, and the restaurant reserved, but when Cayson arrived, he found no one there.
“We’re on our way now,” Callum said before hanging up. He then turned to Yelena and Bella. “Let’s go p>
Yelena nodded and started walking out.
Bella watched Yelena walk away and couldn’t help but feel a twinge of satisfaction. Yelena had opted not to wear any of the flashy Moda Style clothes and still stuck with her jeans and hoodie.
“Wait… Dad, weren’t we supposed to be going to a dinner party with your business partners? Why are we at the mall?” Moreover, the mall was eerily deserted.
Callum turned to Bella with a smile. “You’ll find out soon enough p>
John and Austin were nearby when Austin halted abruptly on the track, fixated on something in the distance.
Unprepared, John bumped into Austin’s back, grimacing as his neck absorbed most of the collision.
Rubbing his nose, John grumbled, “Seriously, Austin, can’t you keep moving p>
However, John’s irritation faded as he noticed Yelena entering the mall with a group of people.
