Dwayne ordered in a casual tone, “Help her pick out some clothes.”Â
“Okay, Mr. Lambert,” a female shop assistant warmly approached Dorothy, “This way, miss.”Â
Dorothy said nothing and followed the female shop assistant into the inner room.Â
Not long after, two shop assistants presented all the newly arrived fashion styles in front of Dorothy, there were more than thirty sets in total, each piece priced at over ten thousand, allowing her to choose freely.Â
Dorothy didn’t have the patience to look for long, so she quickly chose a simple backless dress.Â
Outside the changing room.Â
Dwayne sat with his legs crossed on the sofa, waiting, occasionally glancing down at his wristwatch.Â
Margaret, who was waiting on the side, was afraid that he would lose patience, so she took the initiative to ask, “Should I go remind Ms. Acosta?”Â
Before Dwayne could answer, a voice sounded.Â
“Wow, she is so beautiful.”Â
“No wonder she was brought here by Mr. Lambert, she must be Mr. Lambert’s girlfriend, right?”Â
“Beauty is beauty, but I always feel that her beauty is like a doll that is about to fall apart, with no light in her eyes…”Â
Dwayne looked up.Â
What entered his eyes was a woman of indescribable beauty.Â
Her waterfall–like thick black hair cascaded down behind her, a vintage red backless long dress draped over her skin as white as snow, the light pouring down from above her head, exuding a charm that was uniquely hers, making it impossible to look away.Â
Dwayne gazed at her, never saying a word.Â
Dorothy stood there, not seeing him react for a long time. She looked unnatural and broke the silence first, “Mr. Lambert, I have made my choice.”Â
The man nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over her snow–white slender neck.Â
“Something was missing.”Â
“What?”Â
He waved his hand, and the shop assistant on the side brought the pearl jewelry placed on the table to him.Â
Dwayne got up and moved towards her.Â
She instinctively wanted to step back, but the man had already approached her, his arms loosely encircling her.Â
Immediately after, there was a chill down the neck.Â

Dorothy’s body stiffened and tensed when his fingers touched her skin.Â
