In the fashion design world, only one person would dare to embroider his signature prominently on both sides of the fabric-King.

He was a mysterious figure, with only four of his works known to the public. Each piece had won prestigious awards and was priced exorbitantly. One of his creations, 'Sunshine, was even specially curated. by the Maldonia Museum.

If any other designer achieved such fame, they would likely seek to make a lot of money, attend interviews, and appear on various shows. But not King-

He stayed clusive, rarely producing new pieces, and no one had ever seen his face.

Milly's fingers trembled. "Leon, this dress must be expensive, right?"

The Smiths are just an ordinary working-class family. How could they afford such an expensive dress?

"No way, I can't accept this. You have to return it." Milly quickly pushed the dress back into his hands. High- end, bespoke designs like this were usually sold through exclusive ateliers and might not even be returnable. Leon chuckled at her reaction, finding it amusing how she treated the dress like a hot potato.

He smiled reassuringly. Take it. The dress isn't that expensive."

Milly didn't believe him for a second. "How could it not be?"

This is a King creation!

A piece of fabric from King, let alone a dress, would fetch an astronomical price. How could it be cheap?

Seeing her disbelief, Leon sighed. "It's true. When have I ever lied to you? I know someone who works at King's studio. I asked them to help me get a dress from King." Asked them to get a dress?

Milly blinked. King's work is notoriously rare. You could just ask for one?

"Really? You're not lying to me?" Milly was still skeptical.

Leon smiled, his eyes full of fondness, "Of course, it's true."

"Alright, then...

Holding the dress box, Milly thought it over. It wasn't entirely impossible. In her past life as a best actress, she had dealt with many prestigious ateliers. They often had defective or unfinished pieces that were so

However....

The dress looked dazzling and flawless. She couldn't spot any defects; it seemed perfect.

No wonder King was a top-tier designer. What looked impeccable to the naked eye might still

"Okay, I'll accept it, then. Thanks, Leon."

Leon felt a rush of joy seeing her happy.

Just then, an annoyed voice interrupted their moment. 'Milly, are you done yet? If you don't come back soon, Jonathan will finish all the shrimp!"

It was Anthony.

Milly frowned, glancing at him. "What are you doing out here?"

Anthony huffed, smelling of garlic shrimp. "What am I doing? You've been ut here forever and haven't come back. As your real brother, of course, I had to come and check on you, my real sister!"

He emphasized 'real brother' and 'real sister heavily while standing on tiptoe and glaring at Leon, his eyes full of hostility.

Every time Milly sees him, she's overjoyed. Hmph! What's so great about this man anyway? Always smiling like a sly old far-it's infuriating!

Ignoring Anthony's animosity, Leon looked at Milly warmly. "Milly, go inside. I'll come find you another day when I have time."

Milly stood still, holding the box and looking at Leon with reluctance.

He's leaving leave already?

"Leon, would you like to come in for a while?" she asked, not wanting to part just yet.

Leon glanced at Anthony, who was glaring at him with clear hostility. Amused, he replied, "No, I have things to do. You have my number. If you miss me, you can call."

"But...

Before she could finish, Anthony was already pushing her inside. "Come on. You've been talking forever. Aren't you hungry? If you don't go back now, the shrimp will all be gone!"

When Milly looked back, Leon had already disappeared.

Leon seems so busy..

Back at the villa, everyone seemed to be waiting for her, especially Jordan, who stood with his arms. crossed and a dark expression on his face. His plate was clean, indicating he hadn't eaten yet. When he saw her return, his expression softened slightly, and he said gently, "Come and have something

to eat."

Milly nodded obediently. "Okay"

In front of her was a plate piled high with peeled shrimp, the translucent meat glistening enticingly.

Did Jordan peel them?

Feeling warm inside, she said, "Thank you, Jordan."

Finished

As soon as she spoke, Anthony jumped up from his chair, exclaiming, "I peeled thosel Look at my fingers -they're all swollen!"

Sure enough, his fingers were noticeably red and swollen.

Feeling guilty, Milly apologized. "I'm sorry. I didn't know. Thank you, Anthony."

No wonder I smelled garlic on him earlier.

Anthony pouted, his fork scraping his plate noisily. "Hmph, some heart breaker spends all their time fawning over some stranger and ignores their hardworking real brother at home. And then, they even credit someone else for their real brother's effort. Is there no justice in this world?"

Milly choked on a piece of shrimp and coughed violently. "Cough, cough...

Jordan, who had been silent until now, handed her a glass of warm water, his voice soft. "Drink slowly."

Milly downed the entire glass before feeling better.

The heart breaker Anthony mentioned... Is he talking about me? What a strange metaphor

And...

"Anthony, don't use weird metaphors. Leon is my brother, not some stranger."

Her words were like a sharp needle to Anthony's heart. He stood up abruptly, glaring at her. "You see! You're defending him again. I'm your real brother!" Milly blinked. "I'm not defending him; I'm just stating the facts."
