When Alfred heard that, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he slowly put on a faint smile.
His grandson was not hopeless.
Moreover, he knew Daniel very well. Daniel used to act arrogant. He was a straightforward person. He
must have been men tally prepared before he said such things.
Alfred did not need to worry too much as long as Daniel had the will.
Alfred raised his hand and patted Daniel’s shoulder. He told Daniel after a long pause.
“Daniel, don’t blame us for despising you. Alice is very good. We can’t lose her. Remember, a fierce
woman is afraid of persistent pestering. If you want to regain her, you need to have a thick face.”
Daniel’s gazes rippled with determination as he replied with a determined expression.
“Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’ll pursue after Alice. Please give me your full support.”
“If you need support… You have mine,” Rachel said while handing a phone to Daniel.
“What is this?” Daniel looked at his sister suspiciously.
At the same moment at Sanceland.
Sanceland was a highly sought-after brand in the entertainment industry.
Their gowns could only open for renting but not for sale. Even the top celebrities had to line up and wait
for their turns obediently to borrow the gowns.
As the Sanceland’s fans, Alice and Candice had submitted their applications excitedly half a year ago.
Although Sanceland was called a studio, it was a small luxurious shopping mall in actuality.
The staff were even more arrogant than the consultants at the luxury goods counters.
As Alice walked in, a lady consultant came up to her with an iPad in hand and asked coldly.
“The reservations are full until next year’s autumn. If you want to make a reservation, come with me to
fill up the application form.”
Alice did not have any makeup on. In addition, her current popularity was not high enough to be easily
recognizable.
Thus, the consultant did not know her.
Moreover, the consultant had met many top celebrities. She did not have patience with common
people.
Alice sent a message to Candice. Then, she said politely, “It’s like this. Candice, my assistant, applied
half a year ago. We’re here today to confirm the gown.”
“Oh, you submitted an application half a year ago. I have a few sets for you.” The lady consultant’s tone
was still cold, but it was no longer as cold as before.
The consultant took out her walkie-talkie. “Bring me the applications from 6 months ago. I need to
check it with a client.”
Alice did not see Candice, so she did not know who was messing with them. She waited patiently for
the consultant to go through the procedures.
“You know the rules of renting our gowns, right? You’re not allowed to let the designer tamper with the
gowns, nor are you allowed to change the size. Wear it if you can. If you can’t wear it, return it to us.”
The consultant crossed her arms and said domineeringly, “Before we authorize the use of our gowns,
you can’t post photos of the gowns. Even if it’s a photo for the event organizer, you can’t simply post it.”
The corners of Alice’s mouth twitched when she heard the consultant’s words. Were big brands usually
that arrogant?
She did not know which parent company Sanceland belonged to.
The owner was probably very fussy.
“I’m aware of these. My assistant was here before. I’ll wait for her.” Alice coughed lightly and
interrupted the consultant.
“Assistant?” The consultant paused for a moment. Then, she stared at Alice and asked suspiciously,
“What was your assistant’s name again?”
“Candice.
“Candice?” The consultant’s expression darkened immediately. Then, she placed the iPad on the table
beside her and said

in a very bad tone, “Please leave. You’re not worthy of wearing our gown.”
After saying that, the consultant ignored Alice. She turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
Their brand was not open for renting to celebrities with low popularity.
Moreover, Candice had quarreled with them just now, so they did not want to serve Alice.
Alice had already expected the consultant’s attitude, so she was not that angry. Instead, she stood
there and continued to message Candice.
No matter what, they had submitted their applications and received replies.
They were not at fault. Instead, Sanceland had to give them an explanation.
Just as Alice was waiting for Candice, an ear piercing voice suddenly could be heard from the side.
“Tsk tsk… I was wondering who the person was… It’s Alice Doyle! Is she even worthy of wearing the
gowns from Sanceland?”
The voice was quite familiar. Alice turned to take a look.
It would have been better if she had not seen her. Her expression darkened when she saw them.
Interesting! Enemies were bound to meet.
It was none other than Sheryl and her new best friend, Elle.
Sheryl’s popularity went without saying. Elle was quite an interesting person. She was a rising starlet,
especially in the past few days. She had become extremely popular because of an edited video.
The released information mentioned that she came from a wealthy family and had a super-rich backer.
“Oh, you’re all here, Miss Elle and Sheryl. What do you want to drink? Top-notch Blue Mountain coffee
or Darjeeling tea? Do you want some macarons or snacks?”
The consultant, who had been treating Alice coldly previously, suddenly changed her attitude and
rushed over to the ladies like an obedient ser vant.
She would have hoped everyone knew how fawning she was.
They had heard rumors that Elle was that person’s love interest and might be his secret wife.
She was the person whom Vivian had tried very hard to figure out but to no avail.
Elle loved it when these people tried to please her. She raised her eyebrows and held Sheryl’s arm.
She deliberately put on an attitude and asked.
“What kind of quality are they? I don’t just drink any coffee.
The consultant smiled and said, “Oh! Don’t worry, Miss Elle. They’re the best. It is our pleasure to serve
you. How could we serve you with anything bad?”
Elle nodded and looked at Alice arrogantly. Then, she smiled and said, “By the way, have the new
gowns arrived? I called your colleague yesterday and informed them that I wanted to use the gowns.” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“They’re here. They’re here. Of course, we have the new gowns that you want. Please wait a moment.
I’ll get them to take it out. If you like any of them, feel free to try it out first. Then, we’ll get the designer
to alter it to fit your size on the spot,” the consultant said with a smile,
When Sheryl heard that, she felt the treatment was quite well and said without holding back.
“It’s so nice to come with you, Elle. Not only do I have a gown to wear, but I can also alter the size
anytime. I don’t have to worry about the sizings at all.
Coincidentally, a few celebrities who came to get their gowns saw what happened and could not help
but complain.
“How could they make back door deals like this? It’s so unfair!”
“That’s right. We submitted our application months ago. They said that we had to queue up and weren’t
allowed to alter our gowns. Yet, Elle and Sheryl have such a privilege!”
“They have special privileges because they have huge backings. We can’t compare to them.”
“Who’s backing her? Why haven’t I heard of her before?”
