"An invitation to the Lombardi family party tomorrow night. We both have to attend and show everyone that we're doing well."
"Okay." Violette stroked the gift box Hans had given her.
When she opened it, the contents were stunning: a delicate silk dress and the latest diamonds from a famous brand.
Despite their recent argument, Hans still knew her taste and favorite brands. Her heart wavered for a moment. At least Hans still respected her.
"Wear that dress tomorrow night."
Violette looked up and nodded, smiling.
The next day at seven in the evening, Violette checked the dress she had asked the maid to wash and iron. However, she found Irene ironing her dress. The iron was emitting steam, and there was a burning smell. Next to her, Damien was busy playing with Violette's broken jewelry set on the floor.
"Irene, what are you doing?!" Violette rushed to save her dress and pushed Irene aside.
The dress was beyond saving. There were burn marks and a gaping hole in the middle of the dress.
"Oops, sorry Violette... I accidentally burned your dress. You're not going to blame me, right?" Irene said with a cynical smile on her lips, not attempting to hide that it was intentional.
