Chapter 682 
The changing room on the second floor was in utter disarmy, with quests from the floor below inevitably craning their necks to catch a glimpse of the commotion, 
“What’s going on?” 
“I heard Miss Rowena and a maid got into a fight!” 
“How could Rowens engage in such unbecoming behavior?” 
“Tsk tsk, the Freeman family’s newly found daughter really can’t shake off her vulgar, commoner roots 
As the crowd buzzed with speculation, Mr. Briggs’s face darkened. 
Sensing a story, the media quickly tumed on their cameras, capturing the unfolding drama. 
It appeared to the onlookers that Nichole was dragging Marian out of the second–floor changing room, although it looked more like Nichole was clutching at Marian’s hair, disregarding her image as she stormed out. 

The cameramen’s shutters clicked rapidly, and Nichole’s fierce expression was immediately broadcasted online. 
Meanwhile, headlines like “The Freeman Family’s Engagement Party Scandal: Burke International’s Future Bride Caught in a Catfight with Maid” surged to the top of trending news. 
“I just came from the Freeman family’s wedding next door, and it was a disaster” 
“How could it have turned out this way? The Freenlan family’s engagement party is ruined.” 
On the Costello family’s side, guests were shaking their heads as they stared at their phones. 
Equally trending was “Burke International’s Future Bride’s Engagement Dress Mocked as Cheap Market Stall Buy, Official Brand Responds: Designed According to Client’s Requests.”

Sophie couldn’t help but laugh as well at the dress. 
Jenna added, “I really didn’t expect the dress to turn out like this! Nichole looks like a white trumpet flower wearing it, and those dense diamonds are enough to deter anyone with a fear of clusters.” 
Within half an hour, countless memes of Nichole in the dress had been created. 
The comment section was filled with savagery. 
[Oh my God, this dress could make me cry from its ugliness 
[It’s reportedly a seven–figure haute couture gown. Sorry, but I wouldn’t take it for seven dollars without calling the police.] 
[Forgive my ignorance of art, but my grandmother’s curtain–made clothes look better than this.] 
[isn’t she just copying Sophie’s design? It’s from the same brand, yet the difference is staggering] 
Il was the 
the staff member who initially dealt with Rowena; her demands were excessive. She wanted to compete and ended up as ultimate fool.]

With public opinion overwhelmingly negative, the Burke family’s engagement party was thoroughly doomed. 
“By the way, has anyone seen James?” 
Jenna scrolled through the live photos from the engagement party, noting the absence of James amidst the photos of Nichole and Marian’s brawl. 
Sophin, puzzled, took the phone to look for herself. “Maybe he hasn’t arrived yet?” 
“That can’t be. It’s his engagement party. How could he let Nichole make an appearance alone?”
