Chapter 106: An Eye for an Eye Everyone froze, instinctively turning to look at Selina.
The wedding dress she was wearing... wasnât that Galaxy River, the very gown Sean had promised to give to Natalia?
Zoey was the first to react, immediately lashing out. "Do you have no shame? Are you addicted to stealing things from Natalia?!"
Selina lifted her gaze slightly, her tone laced with mockery. "Nataliaâs?"
Zoey fumed. "Of course, itâs Nataliaâs! You probably donât know, but this is Mr. Sean White, a disciple of Designer Turner! Heâs a friend of Nataliaâs and promised to give her this wedding dress!"
Seanâs face darkened with displeasure. "Miss Clark, if you take off the dress now, Iâll let this go. But if you refuse, once my mentor arrives, youâll be in serious trouble."
Natalia bit her lip and spoke with a hesitant, troubled expression.
"Sister, at home, Iâve always given in to you. But this gown was a gift from Mr. White, and without his permission, I canât just give it away. I hope you can understand."
"I know youâve never seen a wedding dress this exquisite before, but that doesnât mean you can just take it. If you do, people will only say that you lack proper manners. Iâm saying this for your own good."
Her words painted her as the considerate younger sister, looking out for Selinaâs reputation. The onlookers couldnât help but sighâNatalia truly was a kind-hearted sister.
But Selina had never been one to stand still and let people slander her. She raised an eyebrow and chuckled.
"As everyone knows, Galaxy River is Kevinâs proudest creation. Even Mr. White doesnât have the authority to give it away. So how exactly did it suddenly become yours?"
"Or is this how it worksâyou claim something as yours, and anyone wearing it automatically becomes a thief? So today, you say I stole your dress and force me to hand it over. Tomorrow, if you want something from someone else, will you accuse them of stealing too?"
With just a few light remarks, Selinaâs words landed like sharp slaps on Nataliaâs face.
Natalia turned pale. "Thatâs not true, sister, I didnâtâ"
"Why are you bullying Natalia?!" Sean suddenly roared, his glare filled with hostility.
"I may not have the right to give away the dress, but my mentor does! Mr. Turner personally said Galaxy River was reserved for Miss Clark!"
"Selina, I gave you a chance, but you just had to push your luck! Let me be bluntâyouâre nothing but a disgrace. You donât deserve to wear my mentorâs wedding dress! Get out of here!"
Jillianâs face lit up with glee, and she shouted triumphantly, "Did you hear that?! Someone come and throw this disgrace out!"
Natalia looked hesitant, as if she wanted to say something on Selinaâs behalf, but in the end, she simply sighed and shook her head.
Selina, after taking a moment to enjoy the expressions on everyoneâs faces, casually tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and spoke unhurriedly.
"Mr. White, youâre sure... Galaxy River was personally reserved for Natalia?"
Seanâs patience was wearing thin. "Are you questioning me?!"
"Not exactly." Selina smiled faintly. "Iâm just... a little curious."
Curious? Curious about what?
Before anyone could figure it out, Selinaâs voice rang out again, filled with amusementâ
"If this dress was truly reserved for Natalia, then why does my name appear on it?"
...
What did she just say?
Her name? On the wedding dress?
Nataliaâs body wavered slightly before she steadied herself. "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Jillian snapped, "Wow, Selina, youâll say anything just to steal from Natalia! Mr. White is a student of Designer Turnerâhe would know if there was a name on the dress! Iâm telling youâ"
Her words came to an abrupt halt.
Selina lifted her hand slightly, revealing a delicate wrist wrapped in fine lace.
And on the layers of intricate embroidery, stitched in shimmering silver threadâ
Selina.
The letters spelled out Selina!
Jillianâs eyes widened in shock, her voice catching in her throat.
Everyone else stared in disbelief, their breaths hitching.
"There really is a name on it!"
"I heard the Turner family had ties to Selinaâs mother. Maybe thatâs why Mr. Turner gifted the wedding dress to Selina?"
"Then why did Natalia and Sean claim that Selina stole it? Isnât it them who tried to steal her dress?"
As soon as those words fell, everyone turned their heads sharply.
Natalia felt dizzy, her mind reeling. Selinaâs name is on the gown? Thatâs impossible...
Meanwhile, Selina smiled lightly, feigning confusion. "Thatâs what I donât understandâwhy is a dress embroidered with my name suddenly being claimed by my dear sister? Natalia, do you just enjoy taking my things?"
She threw Jillianâs earlier insult right back at Natalia.
Nataliaâs face went deathly pale, her eyes reddening with unshed tears. "Sister, I... I didnât know... Ryan told me he had already ordered my wedding dress, so I assumed it was this one..."
"Iâm so sorry, itâs all my fault! Sister, you can hit me or scold me if you want..."
The onlookers exchanged uncertain glances.
Honestly... Nataliaâs words didnât seem like a lie. Maybe she really had just made a mistake?
Jillian and Zoey, however, were utterly stunned.
They couldnât believe what they were seeing. That country bumpkin Selina actually had ties to Kevin?! What did this mean for them? Wouldnât they be laughed at for siding with the wrong person?!
Seanâs expression was just as dark. Keeping his composure, he spoke coldly. "Miss Clark, it was just a misunderstanding. Why are you being so petty about it?"
Selina shrugged. "A moment ago, you all were shouting at me like I was a criminal. And now that the truth is out, suddenly Iâm the one being petty?"
"Oh well, I suppose Iâm just too weak to fight against all of you."
Many onlookers lowered their heads, silently feeling indignant on Selinaâs behalf.
Wasnât this unfair?
Natalia had been so arrogant just moments ago. Now that she realized her mistake, instead of apologizing, she was blaming Selina for "making a fuss."
But with Sean and Mrs. Carterâs status, no one dared to speak up.
Just then, a commotion erupted outside the boutique, followed by gasps of shock.
Everyone turned in confusionâwhat was happening?
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Mr. Reid and Designer Turner are here!"
Mr. Reid... Logan?!
One of the socialites quickly reacted. "Oh my god, itâs Mr. Reid! He almost never appears in public!"
The entire bridal boutique erupted in excitement!
This was Logan Reid, the head of the Reid Familyâthe kind of man they could only dream of being in the presence of!
Kevinâs arrival wasnât too surprising, but why was Logan here too?
Nataliaâs expression stiffened.
Could Logan have come... for Selina?

That had to be it!
Kevinâs assistant rushed in, slightly out of breath, and glanced around at the crowd. "Who is Miss Clark?"
Another round of stunned silence followed.
Clark... Miss Clark?
Before anyone could react, the assistant continued, "Designer Turner heard that Miss Clark was here today, so he personally invited Mr. Reid to accompany him. Heâs here to deliver the wedding gown he spent four years craftingââFrostfallâ!"
"And now, please welcome Mr. Logan Reid!"
Logan walked in calmly, immediately commanding attention.
His sharp gaze swept across the room before finally landing on Selina.
Without saying much, he curved his lips into a gentle smile, exuding effortless charm.
Then, with the utmost grace, he slightly bowed and extended his hand toward her.
"Come try on your gown, my princess."
