Chapter 1081 Trying To Bring Me Down
News of Bailey being the Yrinasion Muse spread rapidly, along with the fame of her initial draft.
Even though it was still a work in progress, those knowledgeable in the field could tell that the finished
product would be dazzling.
This particular wedding gown was highly sought after by numerous international socialites due to its
classical design.
As a result, various parties began to set their sights on the wedding invitations.
Everyone was eager to receive an invitation to Bailey and Artemis' wedding from the public relations
staff of the Luther and Shurmer families. They wanted to attend this grand wedding, to witness the
splendid bridal procession that was about to unfold, a spectacle of unparalleled beauty and grandeur.
At night, Waverly brought a variety of fabrics for Bailey to choose from, including ice silk, Harfush
brocade, and Mount Sirmoor brocade. Each piece was valuable, and all were pure white.
"I've discussed it with Zara. She will arrange for two disciples from the Yrina family to come and help
you sew the wedding dress. We have plenty of time, so there's no need to rush. Take your time to Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
carefully select the best fabric for the gown. These are all white and look very festive. If you can't
decide, feel free to choose one of each kind."
With a smile, Bailey got up from the couch, picked up the measuring tape from the side, and began
taking Waverly's measurements.
Waverly was taken aback for a moment, then protested, "You're taller than me, so taking my
measurements won't help you. First, choose the fabric, then I'll have a professional tailor take your
measurements. It won't take up much of your time."
Bailey lifted Waverly's arm and placed the ruler on it. While measuring, she remarked, "You like
traditional gowns, don't you? I'll make two sets for you. Although the traditional gowns from the
Strasson family are attractive, they're a bit too old-fashioned. I've sewn two sets for you using Yrinasion
embroidery. Try them on and see how they fit. If they suit your taste, I'll make more for you when I have
some free time. You don't need to wear the ones from the Strasson family anymore; they're just
unnerving to look at."
Waverly was somewhat taken aback by the favor, delighted yet worried that making the traditional
gown might delay the embroidery of Bailey's wedding dress.
"Let's not worry about this anymore. The Shurmer family has a professional tailoring team. Even if we
don't use the Strasson family's traditional gown, I can have the Shurmer family's tailors custom-make
something. Let's not waste your time."
Bailey reached out and embraced her, beginning to measure her waist.
"No worries, we have plenty of time. When you wear the beautiful traditional gown and people ask
about it, just tell them your daughter embroidered it. I guarantee they will be envious."
Waverly's eyes were slightly moist, and she couldn't help but reach out to hug Bailey, who was busy
working in front of her.
"Bay, I owe you an apology. I was blinded by my own foolishness, which led me to do many things that
hurt you. I owe you so much."
Bailey was a person who was easily contented, especially when it came to familial love.
As long as others showed her a bit of kindness, she was capable of returning it tenfold.
Perhaps this was because she lacked familial love and yearned for it.
"You shower Zoey with so much affection. I believe if Sofie hadn't switched us at birth, and I had grown
up by your side, you would have cherished me just as much. There's no deep-seated hatred between
us that can't be resolved. All that matters is that we understand each other. Now that I have a home, I
have a place to go if I ever quarrel with Artemis in the future. Mommy, please stop blaming yourself.
Women who worry too much tend to age faster. Give me some time, and I'll develop an anti-aging
medicine for you. I want you to stay beautiful forever."
Tears welled up in Waverly's eyes. After suppressing the tumultuous emotions in her heart, she tried to
speak in as calm a tone as she could. "Alright, after the baby is born, I will help take care of it. My dear,
why don't you go somewhere and enjoy life with Artemis? You have brothers to rely on here, and a
husband at your in-laws. Don't push yourself so hard in the future. It breaks my heart to see you like
this."
Bailey's many identities were all earned through countless efforts and hard work.
For the rest of her life, Waverly didn't want her daughter to struggle so hard anymore. She only wished
for Bailey to have a safe and peaceful life.
Bailey said with a cheerful smile, "Alright, whatever you say. By the way, if you have time, why don't
you meet up with Victoria? After all, it was Lionel's father who caused the death of Victoria's mother.
Since you are Mr. Gezmond's sister, perhaps your involvement could help her overcome her emotional
hurdles."
Waverly sighed before saying softly, "When your uncle was plotting against his wife, I actually caught
wind of it. It was just that there was no evidence, and I had no idea what method your uncle would use
to harm her. By the time I found some clues, it was already too late. She had been harmed. For a long
time afterward, I didn't return to the Gezmond residence. Your uncle married a young wife, and I just
couldn't stand her. But don't worry, misfortune won't befall the children. God will protect Leo and
Victoria. I will also find some time to have a heart-to-heart talk with Vicky. Anyway, you're right. Lionel
only has me as his aunt, his only elder. If I don't help him, how can his life ever be fulfilled?"
"You don't need to feel too much pressure, as the crux of the matter lies with them. Anyway, now that
we've taken the measurements, let's go to the warehouse and choose some fabric."
After she finished speaking, she took Waverly's hand and they headed outside.
Waverly couldn't help but laugh. "Initially, I was the one dragging you to choose fabrics, but now, it's the
other way around."
Meanwhile, at the Strasson family's private manor in the Hallsbay suburbs, the sound of a slap echoed
in every corner of a room.
Melanie, her face covered by her hands, tearfully looked at the distinguished middle-aged woman
standing before her bed who had just slapped her harshly.
"Aunt Krista, this is not my fault. I had no idea Bailey could be so deceitful, concealing her true identity
like that. If she hadn't been the Yrinasion Muse and hadn't entered the competition, I would have been
the winner today. She wouldn't have had a chance!"
Krista glared at her and said sternly, "You knew that if she didn't compete, you would win, so why did
you sabotage yourself by suggesting she replace Zara in the competition? If you hadn't been reckless,
the Strasson family would have secured victory. We wouldn't be in this predicament now, would we?
You have messed up everything this time, causing the Strasson family to suffer significant losses. If you
don't find a way to make amends, forget about becoming the heir of the Strasson family."
Melanie clenched the bedsheet tightly, a cold fury flashing in her eyes.
Don't think I don't know what this conniving woman is up to. She's already married but insists on
staying at her parents' home, taking advantage of her exceptional skills. And now, she's even eyeing
my position as the heir.
"What do you mean by that, Aunt Krista? Are you trying to bring me down and support your daughter to
take my place? Don't forget that Yulissa is an outsider, just like Karina. They are only the
grandchildren-in-law of the Strasson family."
Leaning forward slightly, Krista moved closer to Melanie and sneered, "It's unfortunate that your mother
is not favored. If you want to improve your status, you'll have to rely on me. I advise you to be kinder
and more honest. Don't entertain any wicked thoughts. We will either succeed or fail together."
Having said that, she turned around and walked out.
She had barely taken two steps when she added, "Your father mentioned that you will take charge as
soon as you regain the title of top embroiderer. If you can't reclaim the glory of being the top
embroiderer, then Yulissa will become the heir to the Strasson family, and you will step aside."
