Chapter 1004
Vicky paid it no mind and simply nodded. âGo ahead.â
Ever since Elijah found a new girlfriend, he had refrained from looking at Vicky unnecessarily and
maintained some distance from her like a perfect gentleman.
After Elijah left, there were quiet discussions among the guests.
âI didnât expect Vicky to be so capable. She had just divorced Tyler, yet she has already found herself a
rich young man from the Harrisons family so soon.â
The news of Tylerâs divorce was not made public, but with Tyler showing up with other women at
various social events and Vicky showing up at the Harrisons familyâs birthday banquet, people began to
catch on.
âBut⦠she does have the capital for it. Look at her figure and face⦠Tsk tsk. No man can resist her. I
wouldnât have been able to resist eitherâ¦â
âShe used to be a rich young lady herself, and her temperament is different from those women who
throw themselves at others⦠Although she was with Tyler, her desirability hasnât decreasedâ¦
Honestly, I, too, want to see how capable this woman is and find out how she managed to seduce
Tyler.
âShush! Keep your voice down. Tyler is here tooâ¦â
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Old Madam Harrisonsâ birthday banquet came to an end.
Since Old Madam Harrisons was old and not in good health, she went upstairs to rest after about an
hour. The remaining tasks were left to the other family members.
Elijah and his parents were busy sending the guests off and arranging accommodation, leaving Vicky
alone in the hall to take care of other matters.
Just then, a womanâs scream echoed in the hall. âAh!â
Vicky quickly walked over. âWhat happened?â
Aurora said coldly, âThe maids in this family are so incompetent. She spilled wine all over me.â
Vicky looked closely and indeed saw a stain on Auroraâs dress.
Vickyâs gaze flickered as she looked at the young maid who was bowing and apologizing incessantly.
At that moment, the maid was terrified and on the verge of tears.
Vicky sighed softly, âMiss Starling, Iâm sorry. This maid is new and not familiar with the rules. Allow me
to apologize to you on her behalf.â
Aurora refused to accept her apology. âMy dress is ruined, and you think a simple apology is enough to
make up for it? Even if you were to sell this maid, it wouldnât cover the cost of this dress.â Aurora then
raised her chin and continued, âBesides, this dress is unique, and its worth canât be measured by
money alone. Do you think Iâll just let it go like that?â
Vicky pondered for a few seconds. âMiss Starling, didnât you just say that you found my dress beautiful?
How about this? Iâll personally tailor a dress for you as compensation, free of charge. What do you
think?â
Aurora glanced at the dress Vicky was wearing. In terms of design and style, Vickyâs dress was indeed
a cut above hers.
Aurora was a noble young lady and would not make a scene at the banquet, risking her own image.
After thinking for a moment, Aurora said,â Fine.â She glanced at her own dress and added, âGet me a
change of clothes first.â
âOkay.â
When Aurora encountered the accident, Tyler was not present and Vicky did not know where he went,
so she asked, âShould I inform Mr. Tyler for you?â
Aurora glanced at her. âTyler is resting upstairs. Thereâs no need to trouble yourself with such trivial
matters.â
Vicky knew that Aurora misunderstood her question as prying for information about Tyler, so she fell
into silence.
There were rooms upstairs meant for guests. Vicky was about to bring Aurora to one of the rooms
when Aurora suddenly stopped and commanded, âIâm going to rest first. Find me a change of clothes in
my size and bring it to me.â
Vicky agreed, âSure. Which room should I have it delivered to?â
Aurora named a room number before striding off proudly.
Vicky arrived at the walk-in closet and picked out a suitable dress for Aurora, before heading to the
room Aurora mentioned.
She knocked on the door and said, âMiss Starling, Iâm here to deliver your clothes.â
No one came to the door. There was no response at all.
Vicky tried knocking again, but the outcome was the same, causing her to scowl.
