Chasing the Unexpected CHAPTER 771

    Early the next morning, N woke up naturally


    As she sat up and prepared to get out of bed, she noticed something unusual on her bedside table–a ck card.


    Damon must have left it the night before.


    N washed up and went downstairs with the card in hand. She had nned to return it to Damon, but he had already left for the office, so she set it aside for now. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    After breakfast<b>, </b>N called Vrie and invited her to go shopping. Vrie mentioned she had something important to discuss, and they agreed to meet at the mall.


    N arrived first and browsed for a while before Vrie showed up.


    “Vrie, you said you had something to tell me?” she asked.


    Vrie nodded and linked her arm with N’s as they walked into a store. “Yes, I’m getting engaged to Zayn at the end of the month. Remember toe to our engagement party.”


    N was caught off guard and frowned slightly. “Why so suddenly? Is it because of the Weir Group?”


    “It’s partly due to that, but also because I’m at that age. Zayn is a pretty decent choice, so I decided to go ahead with it,” Vrie replied.


    Seeing Vrie’s calm expression, N felt a pang of worry. It was as if Vrie were discussing somethingpletely unrted to herself, without any excitement or happiness.


    “Marriage is a lifetimemitment. It’s not something you should rush into just because of age or because he seems like a good fit. Are you sure you’ve thought this through?” N asked.


    Ordinary people already faced social pressure regarding divorce, let alone someone from families in high society like the Weirs and Updikes.


    Vrie remained silent, so N continued. “You’ve only known Zayn for a short time, and you don’t know him that well yet. He might be interested in you because of the Weir Group. Vrie, don’t rush into something just because of pressure.”


    Vrie smiled bitterly. “I understand what you’re saying. But if I don’t marry Zayn<b>, </b>it’ll just be another person, another Wayne, ine, or Kane. I’d never have full control over my own marriage.”


    “That doesn’t mean you should just jump into it without careful thought, Once you’re in


    that kind of marriage, it’s not something you can <b>easily </b>get out of,” N cautioned.


    <b>“</b>I know you mean well, N<b>, </b>but my mind is made up. Please don’t try to talk <b>me </b><b>out of it</b>, “Vrie said.


    Seeing Vrie’s resolve, N frowned but remained silent. After <b>all</b><b>, </b>this was <b>Vrie’s </b>personal decision–she could advise her but couldn’t make the choice for her.


    She just worried that Vrie marrying Zayn might not help the Weir Group and could even give Zayn a way to seize control of it.


    Noticing the concern in N’s eyes, Vrie patted her hand with a smile. “Alright, enough about me. Today, we’re here to find outfits and get styled up to look amazing for the party.”


    N pushed aside her concerns and nodded. “Alright.”


    “Oh, one more thing–you might not know this, but the star of the party tonight is the grandfather of Gabriel’s wife, so we might run into him there,” Vrie reminded her.


    N’s steps faltered as memories of Gabriel’s actions from five years ago rushed back, sending a chill down her spine.


    “Got it,” she replied.


    Seeing N’s face pale slightly, Vrie quickly added, “Don’t worry too much. Gabriel has been married for a few years now and has a child. He probably won’t bother you anymore.”


    N nodded. “I think so too.”


    They walked into a luxury boutique store, and a sales associate greeted them with a smile. “Ms. Weir, Ms. Kinsey, you came at the perfect time! We just received some new pieces, and they’re all limited edition. Let me show them to you,” the sales associate said.


    “Sure,” N and Vrie replied in unison.


    In the center of the store hung several stunning dresses.


    Right away, N’s eyes were drawn to a mermaid gown in the middle. The gown was covered in metallic sequins, shifting in color from white to light blue to deep blue. It captured the beautiful gradients of the ocean<b>, </b>both dreamy and mesmerizing.


    Noticing her gaze, the associate spoke excitedly. “Ms. Kinsey, you have an excellent eye! This dress is thetest work by Ris, titled Deep Sea. There are only five of these in the world. Many customers love it, but the waistline is quite small, so few can wear it. Would you like to try it on?”


    “Yes, please,” N replied.


    The associate quickly took the dress down and led N to the fitting room.


    Vrie, with her own collection of formal dresses, didn’t see anything that caught her eye right away, so she sat down to wait.


    Just then, a sweet voice echoed. “Vrie! Fancy running into you here! Are you shopping for clothes too?”


    Vrie turned to see Gigi Chesney and felt her mood sink.


    Gigi had been chasing after Brandon ever since he started pursuing Vrie.


    Vrie had once been on good terms with Gigi, but when Gigi found out that Brandon liked Vrie, they had a falling out. Since then, Gigi had deliberately made things difficult for her multiple times during partnerships between their family businesses.


    Vrie picked up a magazine and flipped through it, clearly uninterested in engaging with Gigi. It was as if Gigi were oblivious to this as she sat across from her.


    “Oh, I heard you’re getting engaged to Zayn. Congrattions are in order!” Gigi’s voice held a mocking edge. With Vrie and Zayn engaged, she felt she might finally have a shot with Brandon.


    Vrie nced up with a disinterested look. “Didn’t you get the hint? I don’t want to talk to you. Just like old times, throwing yourself into unwee situations.”


    Gigi let out a sarcasticugh. “Vrie, with the Weirs on the brink, where do you get off talking to me like that?”


    “Aren’t you the one who approached me? If you don’t want to hear what I have to say, don’te here looking for trouble,” Vrie retorted.


    “You!” Gigi’s face flushed with anger as she pointed a trembling finger at Vrie.


    She quickly regained herposure and sneered. “Keep acting tough. We’ll see how long thatsts.”


    At that moment, the fitting room curtain opened, and both Vrie and Gigi turned their heads. The moment they saw N, they were stunned.


    N stepped out in the strapless mermaid gown. Her long, wavy hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her lips were a vivid red against her fair skin.


    She was breathtaking–a beauty one couldn’t look away from.


    The sequins on the dress shimmered as she walked, giving her the ethereal look of a mermaid basking in the sun. The sight of her was a blend of elegance and sensuality.


    Vrie snapped out of it first and let out a low whistle. N would undoubtedly be the center of attention in this dress at the party.


    “N, it’s like the dress was made just for you!” Vrie gushed.
