Ursula and Dexter fell silent. 

The authority over the household affairs eventually went to Fiona. 

Joseph decided to let Fiona try her hand at it for a while. 

Ursula could help her out when the time came. 

They could work together to manage the Bamford family’s domestic matters. 

Angela had played a significant role in this decision. 

After all, she had never asked Joseph for favors or made unreasonable demands. 

It seemed he wanted to give Fiona a chance. He even gave her advice during dinner. 

Ursula surprisingly had not shown a hint of displeasure despite being passed over.

According to their arrangement, Simon and Angela were about to have dinner at a renowned seven–star hotel in Eldmere City. 

Angela chose to wear a customized cocktail dress from her company’s collection to show her respect for the occasion. 

“Wow, you look stunning! I used to think emerald green made people look older, but it’s absolutely breathtaking on Angela!” 

“Back off! Don’t you dare touch Angela! She’s a work of art right now.” 

“Angela, someone will be taking photos, right? You have to post it on Facebook!” 

The chatter around her was almost deafening. 

She glanced at her watch. It was getting late. She hastily responded with a few words to everyone before leaving in a hurry. 

Simon’s driver was already waiting for her downstairs. 

The media swarmed in to take photos the moment she stepped out. Their cameras captured her dress vividly which caused a stir almost instantly.

The car sped through the city. 

Nora and Shelly watched in another car as Angela’s car drove away. 

They exchanged glances as smirks of schadenfreude spread across their faces. “That fool. She’s going to make a laughingstock of herself in front of all those cameras. Nora was excited at the thought of Angela wearing that tattered dress in public. 

“Nora, are you sure that dress will rip?” Shelly found it unbelievable. 

Nora smiled as she said, “The fabric of that dress is incredibly delicate and unique. A tiny tear can cause the whole thing to unravel. I had someone make a small cut near the back seam earlier. It was completely hidden in the folds in the fabric. It’s hard to tell when she wears it, but it’ll be torn apart over time. Before she knows it…” 

The sisters exchanged a conspiratorial grin. 

Meanwhile, Angela arrived at the hotel entrance. 

The story of her dress had gone viral in fashion circles. A swarm of media had been waiting for her outside the hotel. 

The moment Angela walked out, they immediately rushed forward and captured her every move. The scene was nothing short of a top–tier celebrity making a public appearance. 

“What’s with her dress? The back looks strange,” someone in the crowd asked. 

“It’s a designer piece. It’s supposed to look like that.” 

Angela was unaware of these remarks amid the buzz of conversation. The staff led her as she made her way into the elevator.
