Chapter 824: Cherry Lewis’s Frustration
"Where’s the bracelet I gave you yesterday? Why aren’t you wearing it?""I..."
Zoe looked at Cherry, noticing her tense expression, chuckled inwardly, but said out loud, "It’s too precious. I’m afraid of breaking it, so I keep it safe at home."
"I gave it to you to wear, make sure you wear it next time. Look at you, you don’t even have a decent piece of jewelry."
The old lady originally wanted to lend her own necklace, but found it too old-fashioned for the young girl.
Her gaze shifted to Cherry, and she immediately pulled her over: "Cherry, take off your earrings, necklace, and bracelet, let your sister use them."
Cherry was already fuming; hearing this, she almost spat out blood!
This set of jewelry was custom-made and so expensive that selling Zoe wouldn’t cover the cost!
This was the first time she wore them out, and now she was supposed to let Zoe use them?!
"What are you standing there for? Hurry, Little Harry’s people will be here soon. We need to spruce up Little Zoe to outshine Isabella Weaver!"
Cherry was about to grind her teeth to dust but couldn’t say "no." She had to smile as she presented her expensive jewelry to Zoe.
"My dear sister is becoming more promising, even catching Brother Harry’s eye. You can borrow this set, just be careful and don’t damage it."
Zoe initially didn’t want to wear her things but felt immensely satisfied seeing Cherry’s expression of unspoken grievance!
She beamed, "Don’t worry, sister, I’ll wear it well and won’t let you down."
She went to her room, changed into a cheongsam, put on the entire set of jewelry, and redid her hair. When she came out, the old lady and the staff were stunned.
The cheongsam had slits that revealed her fair and slender legs as she walked, exuding an understated yet elegant allure.
The delicate jade pink color, luxurious drape of silk, intricate peony embroidery, and perfect tailoring highlighted Zoe’s graceful figure.
Cherry’s jewelry, crafted from rare pink diamonds and radiant with light, made Zoe’s skin appear even more snow-white.
"Good! Good, good!"
The old lady clapped her hands excitedly, never expecting the cheongsam she least liked to fit Zoe so perfectly!
"Who would’ve thought our Missy Zoe was so pretty and stylish? From now on, you can’t wear those cheap street clothes anymore. People might think the Lewis Family can’t afford clothes!"
Zoe never dressed up before, rarely even wearing dresses, always in drab, loose clothing, standing next to the impeccably dressed Cherry without drawing any attention.
Now, just by changing clothes and styling her hair, she was on par with Cherry.
"I refuse to believe it; such a delicate beauty right before him, he won’t be moved!"
"Put on some rouge and lipstick, yes, not too heavy, Little Harry doesn’t like overly made-up women."
"A hint of perfume, this subtle scent fits best!"
The old lady held Zoe’s hand, looking more and more satisfied until she noticed Zoe still had those drab flats on her feet.
"Cherry, take off your shoes too, let your sister wear them! Fortunately, you’re about the same height, or else it would’ve been tricky."
Cherry’s nose was about to twist with anger!
All her intricate adornment today was becoming Zoe’s bridal attire!
Furious, she bit her lip until it bled, reluctantly took off her shoes, and tossed them at Zoe’s feet.
