Chapter 222 None of the nurses wanted to attend to Tiffany, thus nobody was watching over her. This gave her the chance to fish out her phone and texted Ronnie the following:
(Charmine canât get the awards, and she canât attend the Night of Glory at all! Talk it out with Kelly Milan, and tell her my plan.)
Tiffany sent the text with a unique software that would instantly destroy texts once it was sent and read. Even a very skilled hacker would not be able to recover the conversation history.
All she had to do was to patiently wait for Charmine to be destroyed. She wanted Charmine to feel her pain!
At the Bailey familyâs mansion...
Ever since the wedding ceremony, she had stated to the public that she would not take on any shootings and jobs. She even postponed all her engagements to later dates to show them how upset she was, all to avoid suspicions.
In truth, she had been with Chris inside the mansion every day. She ate with him, did homework with him, and exercised with him.
In the afternoon, Charmine was finally able to relax on the sofa after Chris had fallen asleep. She took out her phone to download a live-streaming app, an app well-known to host the selling of priceless items.
Night of Glory was happening tomorrow night, and as it would be full of supermodels, she had to pick a stunning gown.
Charmine even remembered that this day was the day that the D.K limited edition went on auction. Although she had never been a huge fan of luxury brands, she liked the design of that gown.
In the past five years, she had gotten used to not having anyone taking care of her. Because of this, she had developed the habit of working hard to buy the things she liked for herself. âIâll treat myself well when Iâm richâ; that was her motto.
She would do whatever it took to win the auction for that limited edition gown.
Charmine opened the app and entered an old manâs live-streaming chatroom, and there were around 30 to 40 viewers. The elderly man with white hair said to the camera, âThe gown Iâm auctioning today is a design that Iâve worked hard for all my life. I named it, Phoenix.â
With that, two of his assistants brought a gown to the camera, and it was a bright red gown with a tight and open-shoulder cutting. A detall worth noticing was that the top part of the sleeves was tight that could make a personâs arms look slim, and from the wrist onward, the cut opened up three meters long.
The elongated sleeves and its mermaid-tail dragged along behind the gown, and it gave the gown an extremely exquisite exterior. From the top of the gown, a golden phoenix was stitched from the breast to the thigh area, and the cloth dragging behind the gown was embroidered with a phoenixâs wings. Nobody knew how he did it, but the phoenix seemed so alive that it seemed as if it could spread its wings and fly from the gown at any given time. 1 i Everyone in the live streaming platform went crazy once they saw the masterpiece.
(This is too gorgeous! Too gorgeous! I want this for sure!)
[He is indeed the D.K we know of! A master who produces a masterpiece once every ten years!) 1 [He sells a gown every ten years, and every gown has been collected at a high price for the museum! I thought it was all a myth until I saw it today!)
D.Kâs ego was not inflated due to the comments. Rather, he remained well-spoken as he continued to speak before the camera, âThe phoenix on the gown took me ten years to complete, one stitch at a time, and I used a long-forgotten sewing technique known as the Serial and Curly Sewing Technique. Iâm the last person on earth who could sew with this technique. Furthermore, the eyes of the phoenix were made with the rare yellow diamond, while the gownâs creativity and design consist of fifty yearsâ
worth of story. Therefore, the asking price of this gown is ten million!â
As soon as he announced the asking price, the people on the platform began to offer their bids.
(15 million!)
(18 million!)
Charmine looked at her screen quietly, as calm as ever. The reason she liked this gown was not only because of its unique design, but it was also because of an incident that happened 10 years ago. Her eyes turned cloudy as she recalled it...
