Chapter 907
After all she had accompanied her husband to various events all these years, so she had
seen all sorts of outstanding men in their own rights, let alone a Xerthanian man. In fact,
she had never seen this man in their circle before.
Because of so, her gaze at Nicholas gradually turned contemptuous.
“That man must‘ve only joined our circle recently, hasn‘t he? I‘ve never seen him around.”
Linville knew at once that her friend had mistaken, and so she explained, “He indeed isn‘t
from our circle. He‘s a businessman from Xerthania—”
However, before she could finish her words, her friend interjected.
“You think I‘m beneath a mere Xerthanian businessman? You‘ve got to be kidding me,
Linville!” The noblewoman snorted, and her contempt for Nicholas deepened further.
Linville, on the other hand, was rendered speechless. A mere businessman?! To think her
friend could say something like this.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe thought she really should let her friend know just how distinguished Nicholas was, but
the noblewoman spoke up again before she could say anything. “That‘s not happening. I
already told everyone I‘m keeping that gown. I will talk that man into giving me that gown
with double the price he paid.”
With that, the noblewoman walked toward Nicholas with determination, causing Linville to
stop her at once. “I really wouldn‘t do it if I were you. I‘m going to be completely honest
with you. Even my husband would act deferentially to him.”
“You‘ve got to be joking, Linville. Warner would be afraid of some Xerthanian businessman?”
The noblewoman looked at Linville with incredulity.
Though Warner and Linville weren‘t exactly elites in Milan, they were still distinguished.
Linville naturally got what her friend meant. However, she had no intention of saying it in
detail. “All I can tell you is that he‘s not someone you and I can afford to mess with.
Anyhow, he had come for the fashion show and bought the gown just to make his wife
happy. So don‘t embarrass yourself if you don‘t want to give your husband trouble. I‘m
advising you as a friend here.”
“Is he really that capable?” The noblewoman gradually tucked her contempt away when she
saw Linville‘s grave countenance and asked with skepticism. “So, who the heck is he?”
“It‘s hard to explain who exactly he is. You just have to know that if you cross him, he can
very easily acquire your husband‘s company.” With that, Linville snorted softly “I‘ve already
warned you, seeing you‘re my friend. If you still insist on going to him don‘t come back and
whine to me if anything happens. Also, you can forget about all the haute couture i can
obtain as well as our past favors.”
Linville‘s words were pretty serious and damaging, but they also emphasized just how
distinguished Nicholas was at the same time. She would rather cut ties with the rich lady
than cross that man...
The noblewoman‘s countenance turned for the worse immediately, and she said solemnly
after she finally calmed down. “I got it. I won‘t go to him.”
Meanwhile, Nicholas brought Tessa and Gregory to the lounge, where quite a few socialites,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnoblewomen, and celebrities were talking about the fashion show earlier.
“I‘d like to know just who bought that finale gown so quickly!”
“Sigh, I really came for nothing tonight.”
“What a bummer. I‘ve even gotten my money ready. But who‘d have thought I don‘t even
get a fighting chance.”
Though they weren‘t loud, they were close. So Tessa still managed to catch a word or two.
“To think someone already got their hands on the gown so quickly.” She looked at Nicholas
somewhat surprisingly.
Nicholas‘ eyes twinkled in response and deliberately teased her, asking, “Why? Do you
think it‘s a shame that you didn‘t get it?”
“No, not really.” Tessa shook her head in denial.
Gregory, however, pouted while cupping his cheeks and whined, “How can it be gone so
quickly?! I had wanted to get it for you, Mommy. You must look really pretty in it!”
