Chapter 808: The Meddlesome Sister-in-Law
Hailey Hale snapped back to reality and asked, "Where’s your brother? Is he back yet?""Pick a dress and change into it first. I’ll personally do your makeup!" Jocelyn Morgan didn’t answer her question and directly said, "Melissa is already here in an evening gown, and you’re the official girlfriend just casually wearing a simple dress?"
She was worried for her! She looked at her sister-in-law with some disappointment in her eyes.
"How about not changing? I think it’s fine like this." Hailey looked down at herself; she didn’t want to fuss, "Just tell me, where is your brother?"
"Change first, then I’ll tell you!"
Jocelyn turned and blocked the doorway, crossing her arms and lifting her chin, "If your outfit doesn’t outshine Melissa’s, don’t even think about leaving this door!" Her tone was a bit overbearing.
Hailey was getting a headache!
What kind of sister-in-law is this? Isn’t she being a bit too controlling?
And she couldn’t afford to get angry.
So, Hailey took out her phone to call Finn Morgan.
"Haha, my brother’s phone is turned off!" came the smug voice of her sister-in-law.
As soon as she said that, the phone indeed indicated it was turned off, so she definitely knew where Finn was.
In such a large villa, as a guest, Hailey couldn’t possibly search every room!
Out of no options, she put away her phone,
looked at the young girl about her age in front of her, and asked, "If I change, will you take me to see Finn?"
"Yes!" The girl nodded confidently!
Hailey pondered for a moment, then finally looked around seriously. The massive walk-in closet was at least two hundred square meters, and the racks were filled with classified evening gowns.
The air carried two words—luxury!
"Are these... all yours?" Hailey was a bit shocked.
Jocelyn gazed at her with a smile, "Yes, yes! So feel free to choose anything! I have pictures of the matching makeup for every outfit!"
A light bulb went off in her head, "Maybe you should look at the pictures first before choosing the dress! It’ll be quicker that way!" So she swiftly grabbed a remote and pressed it.
A drawer automatically opened.
Jocelyn took out two thick albums from inside and placed them on the coffee table, "Sister-in-law! Come over and flip through them yourself!"
Sister-in-law?
Hailey now paid attention to this term; this girl had been calling her that all along!
"Jocelyn, just call me Hailey, not sister-in-law."
"How can I assert my status if I don’t call you sister-in-law?" the girl said with a smile, "Melissa is eager for me to call her sister-in-law, but I refuse to!"
Hailey sat down on the sofa and casually opened the albums.
Even though she wasn’t particularly interested in evening gowns and never collected them at home, as the mayor’s daughter, she had seen the world.
So, as she flipped through the album, she remained calm.
After a few minutes, Hailey pointed her index finger at a bohemian-style colorful long dress, "What do you think of this one?"
She didn’t want to be too formal, after all, it was an elder’s birthday banquet.
"Hmm?" Jocelyn looked at the picture, then at her face, and thought for a moment, "Alright! Pair it with a short-sleeved blazer to finish the look, and choose a blue crystal necklace for an accent."
"Okay."
To save time, the two girls hit it off instantly.
Jocelyn clapped her hands, and footsteps were heard approaching the doorway.
Hailey glanced over and saw four maids entering, "Hello, Miss, hello, Miss Hale."
"Take down that dress, find the matching shoes, make sure the blazer is ironed, and bring out the accessories, oh, and my makeup kit too!"
"Yes, Miss!"
Hailey was startled by this setup, it felt just like a celebrity’s grand entrance.
"Sister-in-law! In any case, you cannot be overshadowed by Melissa!!" Jocelyn reiterated, "This afternoon, countless media will be attending, you can’t let Melissa steal the limelight."
Hailey thought, this Morgan family’s young lady might have a feud with Melissa?
"Sister-in-law, why are you laughing?" She was puzzled.
Hailey told her, "Stealing your brother is a win already, letting her have the spotlight wouldn’t be a loss either."
