In the blink of an eye, a month flew by.
As Susanne‘s birthday party was coming up in a few days, Arielle brought a tailored gown to the older woman.
“Mom, I designed this myself and had someone sew it. Why don’t you give it a try? If it fits, you can wear it for your
birthday party,” Arielle explained with a smile as she pulled the gown out of a bag.
It never crossed Susanne’s mind that Arielle knew how to design clothes.
Receiving it in surprise, she beamed at the latter. “You shouldn’t have. I’m fine with just getting one off the rack.”
Despite her words, Susanne felt very much appreciated and blessed to have such a wonderful daughter-in-law.
In fact, she had more than once lamented at how blind she had been to miss a gem like Arielle. Fortunately, her
son-who had the better eye-insisted on marrying the latter. Otherwise, there was no way she could ever find
someone so caring and filial.

from the bag.
It was made from a luxurious fabric, and its silky smooth texture was evident when she ran her fingers over it. The
intricate motifs embroidered on the gown accentuated its already distinguished air. Just a touch and she already
couldn’t bring herself to put it on.
Twenty minutes later, Susanne emerged wearing the gown. The sight of her sparked a look of amazement in
Arielle’s eyes.
“Mom, you look perfect in it!”
“Sannie, I can’t bring myself to wear this gown out,” Susanne commented with a smile.
“It’s fine. If you like it, I’ll have them tailor a few more for you. You can then wear them as often as you please,” the
beaming Arielle replied.
“In that case, I can’t thank you enough.”

Soon, the day of Susanne’s birthday party arrived. It was held in one of Nightshire Group’s largest hotels. Even
when Arielle was preparing for it, news of the event had already spread like wildfire.
As a result, many guests from all over attended the party. With the hotel’s parking lot filled to the brim, they had to
find paid parking elsewhere.
When Arielle entertained the guests by Susanne’s side, many guests were surprised to see her doing so as they
were cognizant of who she was.
Those who brought their daughters, in particular, complained softly amongst themselves, for they had intended to
matchmake their daughter with Vinson.
As for those few who were close to Susanne, they, upon seeing Arielle walk away, hurried up to the latter’s side and

“Mrs. Nightshire, why is the Chairman of Moore Group entertaining your guests with you? How are both of you
related?”
That woman was looking to find a suitable partner for her son. Hence, she intended to solicit Susanne’s help to do
so.
Her son was already twenty-eight that year but constantly refused to marry. Thus, when she saw how pretty and
capable Arielle was, she figured that her son would change his mind. Once they were together, Arielle would take
care of the family while he focused on his career. Both of them would then live out their days in a simple yet
fulfilling manner.
Obviously, her scheme didn’t escape Susanne’s sharp eye.
With an indifferent yet proud tone, Susanne replied, “Her? She’s my daughter-in-law, whose wedding will be held
soon. Why do you ask?”
