Chapter 248
Fiona Valentine watched the man walk away.
Only then did she notice his Porsche.
He wore an Armani suit.
A Patek Philippe glinted coldly on his wrist.
She looked down at the cake in her hand.
Her expression grew complicated.
Sophia Sullivan didn't go to school today.
She was out shopping with her mother.
She had asked her professor for permission in advance.
Today's class was mainly group project presentations.
Hannah Morse and Marcus Lawrence could handle it.
The professor approved readily.
The book signing was tomorrow.
Isabella Sullivan rarely attended such formal events.
She spent a long time choosing an outfit in front of her closet.
Nothing felt quite right.
The clothes were wearable.
But something was missing.
David Sullivan looked sincere.
"My wife looks beautiful in anything."
Isabella didn't laugh this time.
Sophia understood immediately.
"Mom, let's go buy something new!"
"Kyoto has so many malls. We'll find the perfect outfit."
Isabella's eyes lit up.
"Great idea!"
David scratched his head in confusion.
His flattery had actually failed.
At the SKP mall.
The family of three stepped into the glass elevator.
The elevator ascended slowly.
The luxury stores on the first floor grew smaller.
The entire mall layout came into view.
Isabella couldn't help gasping.
"This mall is enormous!"
The clothing section was on the second and third floors.
But they had pressed the button too late.
The elevator went straight to the fourth floor.
Isabella was drawn to a book display poster in the distance.
They decided to get off on this floor.
A sign above the store read: SKP Rendez-vous.
