Chapter 1504
On the other hand, the socialites dressed fancily; even small accessories like their hairpins could cost thousands of dollars. Their
conversation revolved around the other wealthy families in the circle or the things they wore.
Kayla sometimes needed to look up a logo online to know what brand it was, but these people could instantly recognize it and its
value with just a glance.
Perhaps she was trying to fit into this circle as soon as possible or to avoid being laughed at. She had been on a crazy shopping
spree in the two years since she returned.
She would buy whatever that was expensive or limited.
The Wilson family was rich, and Mark was very indulgent with Kayla.
Because he did not get to spend a lot of time with her due to his busy work schedule, he never stopped her from doing that.
That was why the luxury goods sellers in Rivera loved dealing with Kayla.
Not only was she rich, but she was also easy to fool.
Stella pursed her lips. She found out that Kayla was somewhat similar to her in a certain way.
However, she had already realized her mistake; Kayla was still deeply trapped.
Stella asked, "Are you saying she only dresses that way because she's trying to fit in?"
"More or less," Aldor said. "She doesn't have many friends in Rivera. Mr. Wilson needs to attend various business banquets
frequently, and he
would bring his daughter along. On the one hand, he wants everyone to get to know Kayla; on the other hand, he hopes to find
her a suitable partner.
"You know what the circle is like. It's not meant for ordinary people at all. Ms. Wilson hasn't seen anything like that, and no one
has ever taught her what is right and wrong. So, she can only blindly follow what others do to try to bridge the gap between
herself and everyone else.
"But her so-called friends don't genuinely treat her as a friend. They only talk to her because their families need favors from the
Wilson family. Her friends would pretend to praise her while calling her a country bumpkin and say that she's trying to be
something she's not behind her back."
There was much more to it than what Aldor had mentioned. Those people mocked her secretly, but whenever there was an
event, they would still invite her because she was generous. She never once dodged the bill and was happy to pay for these
people. In their words, she was just a fool.
Stella said in a low voice, "Ms. Wilson doesn't look like an ignorant person at all. Is she really unaware of this?"
it's unlikely that she is, but perhaps this is just her way of fitting into the group. Who are we to judge?" Aldor said.
Stella finally knew why Kayla acted so uncomfortably when she removed her jewelry. She did not dress that way to flaunt her
wealth. Instead, the jewelry gave her a sense of security. No one would dare mock her openly because a single piece of jewelry
she wore could easily rival the expenses of some socialites.
Aldor paused momentarily before asking, "Mrs. Kane, how did you know about her?"
Stella recollected herself and told them about what had happened in the store earlier.
"Aldor, from what you're saying, Ms. Wilson is very good at promoting products because she is popular among the socialites.
They all want to be her friends. So if she buys things from The Velvet, they would all follow suit just to have something in
common with her, is that right?"
Aldor nodded, "Yeah. Despite what they say behind her back, they would still try to flatter her. Mark Energy has grown so much
recently, and everyone wants to cooperate with them to get a piece of the pie."
Stella narrowed her gaze, "I've got to hold on to this connection then."
Darcie must have had the same idea before, which was why she hired such a pathetic designer to cater to every one of Kayla's
wishes. It did not matter how good or bad the design was; as long as Kayla wore it, the socialites would still praise it blindly.
The pieces of jewelry that Barbara designed for her were all large and flashy. They all require high labor and material costs,
making them incredibly expensive. Kayla was simply a money tree to them.
With that in mind, Stella asked, "Aldor, do you know the time and location of that banquet Ms. Wilson will be attending tonight?”
