Chapter 274.1
The dress shop had a wide interior with customers browsing the displayed samples of dresses and goods, along with the attendants.
A big stir turned into a hushed silence. Everyone zipped their mouth shut with their eyes rounded in surprise in unison.
“Good heavens. Lady Arse!” Janette, the madame of the dress shop, exclaimed dramatically as she trotted over to greet the honored guests.
“What a great honor to have you come all the way here. I would have gone straight to the manor myself if you had asked.”
Janette was a tailoress who’s been taking charge of every garment that’s been worn in the Arse Family. Her skill was absolutely impeccable but above all, it was her tendency to keep her tongue that made such long years of trade possible. Doubtless, no one has ever visited the Arse manor as often as Janette. However, no words have ever gotten out of the manor.
“I just felt like getting some fresh air today. And since my daughter has come to visit, I was thinking of getting a few new dresses for her.”
Janette felt a twitch at the corner of her lips for a second. She couldn’t help but to feel parched to have such important customers drop in without warning.
Moreover, Janette was well aware of the fact that the atmosphere had always been cold between Lady Arse and her daughter. Indeed, Lady Arse never once came to take a look at her daughter when Janette came over for the fitting.
Although it was natural for mothers to have many questions when their daughters start to outgrow their old clothes, Lady Arse, however, had never once shown any particular interest in her daughter’s change. Truly, if only they weren’t the exact spitting image of each other, Janette would most likely have doubted their relationship as a mother and daughter.
