213 Chapter 213: Inferior Quality Formal Dress Yigol Mamet was furious, “Xaviera Evans is just being difficult. Your designs are very popular abroad, so why aren't they good enough for her? You worked overtto get them done, but she still wants you to redo them? I'm going to teach her a lesson today!” ( Zara Woods verbally tried to stop him, but didn’t actually hold him back. “Yigol... Caleb, this...

She raised her eyes to Zara, then asked, “Caleb, how much did these dresses cost?” Zara's face suddenly changed.
Caleb answered nonchalantly, “Over eight million dollars.” Xaviera mused, “One dress costs over 500,000 dollars, which is the price of high-end custom-made dresses.
Both the material and craftsmanship must be top-notch, but...” She paused and then continued, “These materials are of poor quality. | wouldn't even want them if they were fifty dollars!” Yigol was enraged, “Xaviera, are you saying Zara's dresses are worthless? Her stuonly uses high-quality materials, and you're accusing her of using inferior ones?” “Many prestigious young ladies have requested her designs, and even delicate misses haven't complained about the materials. What kind of person are you to be so picky?” Zara's eyes filled with tears, her lips tightly pursed, “Xaviera, our stuonly uses expensive materials, and we absolutely wouldn't use inferior ones.” “You don’t have to like me, but you can’t slander my work!” Xaviera raised an eyebrow, “Miss Woods designs indeed used high-quality materials on their surface, and | can see that a lot of effort was put into the craftsmanship, making the entire dress appear very luxurious.” Yigol scolded loudly, “You admit that the dress is very good, but still find faults? You're just jealous of Zara! You should move out of Lowen Clubhouse right now, | would never agree to have you as my sister-in-law!” Caleb swept his eyes across the room and said, “You're not my brother, so of course she’s not your sister-in- law.” Yigol awkwardly glanced at Caleb, his face red with embarrassment.

Since our first meeting you've been targeting me. | won't blyou, just apologize, and let's not let our conflict affect the brothers’ relationship.” 1/2 “Did you givea chance to explain? Besides, Mr. Mamet just assumed | was trying to make things difficult for you. I'm Caleb’s wife, and you haven't giventhe basic respect | deserve!” Xaviera spoke coldly, “Even if the dresses don’t show any problems on the surface, there are issues on the inside. High-end custom-made dresses are not only beautiful but also comfortable, hence the need for high- quality materials.” “A 500,000-dollar dress should definitely achieve this, yet Miss Woods used the roughest materials on the inside of the dress. Furthermore, the waist area is not only rough but also extremely fragile.” Xaviera lifted the dress revealing the coarse fabric inside, with loose threads escaping and a part already torn.
Zara's face turned pale, and she quickly bowed her head.
Xaviera looked at her coldly, “Miss Woods designs for wealthy families daughters and wives, their skin is delicate and sensitive, requiring fine materials. They wouldn’t wear rough fabrics, which would wear down the skin.” “Since Caleb has already paid for these dresses, you don’t need to redo them, but | won't wear such shoddy work. After all, if this gets out, it’s not my reputation that will be tarnished.” Yigol felt the rough fabric, his face filled with disbelief. “Zara, what happened? The dress you made for my mother used giant silkworm silk!” Zara's mind went blank, at a loss for an explanation.
Her face pale, lips trembling, she stuttered, “I... | didn't.” Caleb coldly glanced at Zara, causing her to shiver.
