That evening, Emily Cowell finally realized something had happened.
She looked worried, "I asked all the major dress sponsors, and for some reason, they all refuse to lend you one."
"Hmm?" Lorraine Hughes looked up from her game.
"Could it be... Liz? She's never been very magnanimous, she might be the one scheming against you!"
"Who's backing her?"
"The heir from the Colin Clan, named Jesse Colin. I heard they've been together for two years, and apparently, the Colin Clan is acquainted with Mr. Lucas..."
"Oh."
Lorraine Hughes felt it was familiar but couldn't quite place where she'd heard it before.
"Otherwise, how about letting Master Bolton take care of the dress for you?"
Lorraine Hughes hummed in agreement and continued playing her game.
After waiting another half hour, she received a phone call, greeted Emily Cowell, and then left.
...
Upon getting into the passenger seat, Nathan Bolton was still on a call.
