Chapter 671
"Why are they here?"
Jenna was already annoyed at the sight of this old lady, and Nichole had also come along with Bea today.
The female manager beside her said, "I heard that the CEO of Burke International is getting engaged in a few days, so Mrs. Bea Burke is here to accompany her future granddaughter-in-law to pick out an engagement dress today."
Jenna frowned and said, "There are only so many high-end boutiques in Devonport. What bad luck it was to run into these two."
"Bad luck? I think someone intentionally came to give us a hard time."
Though high-end boutiques in Devonport were few, it was no coincidence to be in the same shop on the same day.
It seemed Nichole had someone sniff out Sophie's location, and she deliberately brought Bea along to show support.
"Ms. Rowena, these are our latest engagement dresses. Feel free to choose any."
The staff displayed a row of dresses in front of Nichole.
Nichole supported Bea and sat down on the sofa, saying, "Grandma, help me choose. What would look good on me for the engagement party?"
"Something understated yet luxurious, dignified and elegant."
Bea, always conservative, also chose wedding dress styles that leaned towards a more traditional aesthetic. After much deliberation, nothing particularly caught her eye. Nichole's gaze had already shifted towards Sophie, deliberately saying, "Grandma, look, that's Ms. Sophie there."
Hearing this, Bea frowned and as she looked in the direction Nichole pointed, she indeed saw Sophie.
The sight of Sophie reminded Bea of her assertive demeanor that night.
Bea's expression darkened, saying, "Why is she here too?"
"Mrs. Costello is a valued customer of ours. Mr. Colby has specially ordered a wedding gown and engagement dress for Ms. Sophie to review."
The staff, completely unaware of the tension, mentioned this with a face full of envy.

Last time, her plan to have Sophie die in Duskhaven failed, costing her a fortune! Just thinking about it made her feel the loss.
That night, she had intended to
contact Solana, but to her surprise, Solana had changed her number! So, Bea directed all her resentment towards Sophie.
Bea said indifferently, "I wonder who it could be: Turns out it's her. Well, my grandson's reject ended up marrying into the Costello family, which I suppose is a bargain for them."
Bea's words were laced with malice, making the faces of the nearby staff turn sour.
Worried that Sophie might overhear
Bea's comments, one of the staff
quickly suggested with a smile, "Ms. Rowena, why don't we pick
something from the inside? There
are even prettier options there."
Nichole ignored the staff's suggestion and deliberately asked, "The dress Ms. Sophie is wearing doesn't look off-the-rack, does it?"
"It is... Mr. Colby specially ordered this for Mrs. Costello. She is here today just for a fitting."
Hearing this, Nichole shook Bea's arm and said, "Grandma, I think these ready-to-wear dresses all look the same. Let's get one custom-made too."
"Custom-made certainly suits better. What style would you like, Ms. Rowena?"
Nichole raised an eyebrow and said, "The same style as hers."
