Chapter 27
Isolde drove, trailing behind the three of them.
After about half an hour, the car carrying Celeste and Marcus stopped at the event entrance.
Celeste pushed Marcus, along with Cassian, into the venue. Seeing this, Isolde quickly parked her car
Just as she was about to enter, she was suddenly stopped by a security guard. “Miss, please show your fashion show invitation.”
Fashion show? Marcus actually brought that little bitch to a fashion show? Isolde cursed inwardly
While she was trying to negotiate with the guard a familiar voice reached her ears, “Isolde, you’re here to see the new product fashion show of Marcus’s company, too?”
This show is organized by Marcus’s company?‘ Confused, Isolde turned to look at Flora, who had come to her, and smiled. “Yeah,
you
“Yeah, they say tonight’s finale outfit is designed by Marcus himself, not yet on sale. I’m curious what it looks like, so I got an invitation from my dad to come check it out.”
“Shall we go in together?”
“Sure!” Isolde linked arms with Flora and walked into the venue.
The venue was already packed. Flora found her seat quickly and sat down, asking, “Isolde, my seat’s here. Where’s yours?”
Isolde started looking for Marcus and Celeste under the lights, but after a long search, she couldn’t find them.
Bewildered, she said to Flora, “My s seat’s on the other side. Take your time while I go to the restroom.”
“Okay”
After separating from Flora, Isolde began searching the venue for Celeste and Marcus
Meanwhile, Marcus and Celeste were backstage at the venue, looking at the finale outfit that had been slashed to pieces.
Marcus’s face was grim as he stared at Cassian. Tell me, what’s going on with this finale outfit?”
Cassian had no idea either. Before he went to the hospital, the outfit was still fine. But it was completely ruined now.
Facing Marcus’s murderous gaze, he answered in panic, “Mr. Hale, before I went to the hospital for you, this finale outfit was still fine.
as his wounds were strained.
“So tell me, why is it in such a terrible mess now?” Marcus stood up from the wheelchair, wincing Frowning, he grabbed the finale outfit and threw it at Cassian’s face.
The f
finale outfit is ruined. What am I supposed to do with the fashion show today?” he questioned.
Cassian held the outfit and glanced at the watch. The show was about to start, and there were still two hours before the finale outfit was supposed to go on stage.
It was impossible to remake a new finale outfit in just two hours,
He looked at Marcus with a frustrated expression, saying, “Sorry, Mr. Hale. The only thing I can think of is to scrap the finale.”
You Marcus was so furning that he couldn’t speak fluently.
Meanwhile, Celeste stood by and looked at the finale outfit in C
Cassian’s hand. “Let me try.”
Cassian and Marcus both turned their gazes to her upon hearing this, confused. Try what?”
“I want to try modifying the original design to save this finale dress. I took a close look, and the damage isn’t too bad. It’s just the waist and the bottom part that are ruinel
“What if we cut off the waist part and half of the skirt, add a layer of tulle, and cover the legs?” Celeste suggested.

“This finale dress is called “Nebula Sheen, and it needs to be whole to reflect its name. If you cut off two parts, it won’t be related to the nebula anymore. Marcus frowned.
At a time like this, all Marcus wants is to embody the name of this dress? Shouldn’t he be trying to save the dress first and make sure the fashion show goes smoothly? Celeste complained inwardly.
“If the modified dress can’t be called ‘Nebula Sheen‘ anymore, why not give it a new name?
As for your nebula, you can remake it after this or consider this dress as the first in the nebula series, and the second one will be the original finale dress, she added.
Marcus looked at Celeste, who was speaking so convincingly, and had to accept her suggestion for now. “Alright, go ahead and modify
“I need a sewing machine and a pair of scissors. Can you get them for me, Cassian?”
Cassian said okay and quickly went to find the items.
are you doing here, Ms. Huxley?” he asked in confusion.
After he left, he ran into Isolde, who was looking for Marcus and Celeste. “What are you
Isolde replied awkwardly, “I came to see the show. What a coincidence. Why are you here?”
She came to see the show but didn’t know this was an event of the Hale Group? Cassian murmured inwardly.
Busy looking for the sewing machine, he didn’t have time to chat with Isolde and just said, Tm working,” before leaving, Isolde didn’t stop him but instead looked at the room Cassian came out of

this thought, she peeked inside and saw Marcus bending
If Cassian is here, then Marcus and that little slut must be here too, right?” over, talking to Celeste
Her face turned really angry as she cursed inwardly, ‘Why does Marcus look so close to Beth? What are they doing?
Celeste was seated, meticulously inspecting the finale outfit, while Marcus, hindered by the pain of his wounds from standing, opted to bend over and scrutinize Celeste working on the garment. So at this moment, the two appeared to be so close.
Celeste found the parts that needed to be modified, and feeling hot air near her ear, she turned her head and locked eyes with Marcus. Their lips met, 100
Celeste’s long eyelashes fluttered, and she leaned back. “Mr. Hale, why are you so close to me?”
“My wound isn’t healed yet. Standing hurts, so it’s better to bend over
Hearing this, Celeste stood up quickly and offered her seat to him.
Tve been lying down too long. I want to stand for a bit. You sit
But having him stand next to her like that made her really uncomfortable.
Just then, Cassian came back with the staff carrying the sewing machine,
Celeste ordered him t to put the sewing machine aside while she took the clothes to t began to sew
The smoothness of her actions shocked Marcus and Cassian.
