Edward couldn't help but praise, “Ms. Yeomans, this outfit is stunning and elegant. You'll surely be the most
dazzling lady at the banquet tomorrow.”
“It’s settled then!” Audrey was also delighted.
The stylist removed the jewelry from Audrey and placed it in a handbag, With one hand holding the hem of her
dress, she closed the dressing room curtain, ready to change out of. the gown.
She raised her foot to unstrap her high heels.
She then swept her long hair to the front, reaching behind to grasp the zipper of her dress.
However, she was startled when her hand met with a large hand that had already grasped the zipper.

“Granpa askedto help you with the dress. | was late because of the meeting.” Ryan calmly held Audrey's
shoulder and turned her around, unzipping the dress down to her
waist.
“Thank you, but you can wait foroutside!” Audrey nervously held the dress in front of

Audrey shook her head. She wasn’t a saint, so why should she sympathize with someone who once wanted to
harm her?
She replied, “I'm just surprised. You don’t seem like the kind of person who would do such things. It was
