It had been three days since Sofia had received the treatment, and so far, her body was doing well. Just last night. Hugo had told her that there had been a lot of improvements in her blood,

In two more weeks, she would be ready for the second stage of treatment. Sadly, Hugo had also informed her that her mother’s condition remained the same.

cht... | think you should wear the red dress.” Karina, her friend, said while sitting on the plush chair inside Sofa’s office ould highlight your curves.”

That’s a mermaid dress. It won’t be comfortable,” Sofia replied. In front of them were clothes that Sofia had designed herself. Today, their goal was to choose a dress for her birthday.

Karina nodded, considering Sofis one? It’s pretty and looks comfy

Yeah, comfort is key. But the red one looks stunning on you. What about the blue

Sofia examined the blue dress, ruher fingers over the fabric “This is nice, and it feels soft. But is it too casual for the occasion

Karina leaned back, tapping her chin. True, true. We want a balance. Oh, how about the black one? Classic and elegant What do you think?”

Sofia held up the black dress against herself and studied it in the mirror. “Classy, but maybe a bit too serious. It’s a birthday party, after all”

“Got it! What about the floral one? It’s festive and not too formal Karina grinned, showing her dislike for floral colors.

“You know, | like this. It’s cheerful. But will it match the venue? Karina shrugged. “We can make the venue match the dress. Easy fix! What else do we have here?” They continued discussing each dress, weighing the pros and cons. Casual formal. vibrant, or subdued the choices laid out before them.

“You know, this birthday | mean it’s not like there will be a lot of people there, thanks to your last-minute changes. Karina said Originally, her grandmother really wanted an extravagant birthday, but she made some last-minute changes. They could announce the fact that she would become one of the board of directors after her birthday instead. She wanted to celebrate this inside the company- with the employees.

On her birthday, only executives would be invited. She decided not to invite socialites that she had not even interacted with in the past. Luckily, her grandmother agreed. So, her birthday had become smaller. The three guests that her grandmother originally planned became fifty.

“| told her... we can make this as grand as possible. After all, receiving her inheritance is not going to be a small milestone.” Eulanda’s voice suddenly echoed behind them. Sofia froze for a few seconds before she turned and saw the dashing woman wearing an all-black ensemble.

“Grandmother...” Sofia smiled. “How come you are here?”

“So now | don’t have the right to visit my only granddaughter?” Eulanda lifted an eyebrow She then looked at Miss Amores. “I need coffee. No sugar or milk.”

“| thought you were still in Europe?” Sofia said before she kissed her grandmother’s cheeks.

“| was... a couple of hours ago,” Eulanda looked at Karina. “You look dashing Karina. How have you been? | hope Adam has been treating you well?”

Sofia immediately looked at her grandmother and tried to signal her to stop talking about Adam. However, her grandmother either did not understand her meaning or simply wanted to tease Karina.

1:43 Sat, Mar 2

“Hello, Mrs. Lockhart...” Karina smiled. “Adam is just being Adam. | am certain he is enjoying himself though.” 98%

“Ah... that lawyer can be very tough. | told him once he would never find someone because of his arrogance. Not even a fake one would survive. To this day, | laugh at his grandfather for not having a grandchild despite Adam's age:

“Isn’t he only thirty-three?” Karina asked.

“His grandfather is nearing his eighties.” Eulanda smiled.

“Oh..” Karina and Sofia nodded at the same time.

“Very well.. sing

here. Let me help you pick out a dress.” Eulanda immediately said. “Bring it in...” she

the doors to Sofia’s office opene, and two men wearing black suits wheeled in more

Eulanda said. “Clothes that your mother designed in the past.”

ha’s eyes widened. “Then- How she looked at the clothes find realized that they were something she had not seen in the past.

“She said it was too luxurious, and LH Design was not ready for them.” Eulanda walked towards a black dress. “I agreed with her and kept the dresses in a safe vault.” Eulanda then gestured for Miss Amores to place her coffee on the coffee table nearby

Sofia was speechless. The dresses in front of her were of various colors and designs; however, it looked like most of them had intricate embroidery.

Sofia’s eyes widened as she scanned the array of dresses in front of her. “Wow, these are... fancy.” She picked up a black dress with subtle dragon embroidery. “Look at this, Grandma. Dragons on a dress!”

Eulanda chuckled. “Your mother was into mythical creatures. Dragons were her favorite. Thought you might like them too./

Sofia grinned, examining the intricate details. “Definitely. Dragons are cool. And this white one here has butterflies! Look, Karina, butterflies!”

Karina ran her fingers over the delicate butterfly patterns. “I love it. So whimsical. And these pastel pink dresses with tiny flowers are adorable.”

Eulanda nodded in response. Perhaps seeing Sofia this excited made her a little excited too as she was unable to hide the spark in her usually cold gaze. “Your mother was quite the artist with embroidery. She loved bringing life to her designs.”

Sofia moved to the flesh-colored dress, noticing intricate patterns resembling vines and flowers. This is elegant. The embroidery is so detailed. How did she do this?”

dress Eulanda shrugged. “Magic fingers, | suppose. She had a way with needles and threads.” She then pointed to a gray adorned with subtle swirling patterns. “Gray with a touch of mystery. Your mother always knew how to add a little intrigue to her creations.”

Sofia’s gaze fell on a red dress with bold phoenix patterns. “And this one... phoenixes! That’s fierce. | can’t believe she kept these hidden.”

Eulanda smirked. “Your mother believed in timing. She said LH Design wasn’t ready for these. But now, it’s time.”

Just as the two started talking about the rest of the design, Karina received a call on her phone.

“Speaking of the devil...” Karina said.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“That must be Adam tell him his grandfather missed him.” Eulanda smiled as Karina ran out of the room. “That child_she would

be perfect for Adam.”

“How did you?” Sofia’s eyes were wide, but Eulanda only responded with a shrug. Not long after, Karina came back and told Sofia that they had an emergency and now Adam wanted her there. Seeing her friend run out of the room after bidding her goodbye

made Sofia smile.

However, she really had no time to waste as there were a lot of dresses in front of her. In the end, the two spent two more hours just talking about the design and embroidery of the dresses. After Sofia finally made her choice, she tried the dress on and was surprised to know that it perfectly fits her! She honestly thought that they would need to do a few alterations but it turns out everything was good.

“Now as for the wedding d

the dresses that your moth

grandmother said. “I would really like to plan your wedding with you. | can give you ed in the past.” “She was able to design wedding dresses too?” Sofia asked.

“Of course!” Eulanda said. “She started doing it the moment she was informed that she was pregnant with a girl.” Eulanda smiled. “Your mother... That child she only started changing when she married Lawrence.”

The mention of Lawrence seemed to ruin Sofia’s mood. However, she knew that her grandmother would not just mention that man without a goal. Sofia took a sip of her tea to calm her nerves. Luckily, Lawrence seemed to have stopped trying to call her. However, it made her even more alert. She knew that the man would not go down without a fight

“Lawrence sent his daughter abroad.” Sofia said. “He is not making any bold movements lately...”

“Is he not?” Eulanda smirked. Without waiting for Sofia to answer, she asked her assistant to give Sofia an envelope. Sofia quickly opened it, and almost immediately her eyes widened.

“This is-

-Sent by Lawrence. He wanted to establish the fact that | am already an older woman who was trying to support a younger boy toy. How shameless. Sofia pursed her lips as she examined the photos once again. To be honest, without any context, it does look like her grandmother and the man in the photos was having an indecent relationship. Then this man...” Sofia looked at her grandmother.

“That is Simone Flaire...my late sister's son,” Eulanda answered casually. Then she smiled. “Ah... to be honest, | wanted him to take these photos. Who would have thought that he would actually fall for a trap?”

Trap? Sofia met her grandmother's eyes. SEND GIFT
