Chapter 699
It was only during her break that she noticed a dull ache in her back and a soreness in her leg.
Sitting down, she leaned back in her chair for a moment and took out the business card she had failed to call the previous night.
Despite her hesitation, she had decided against returning the card.
No longer afraid to touch Theodore’s belongings, her intuition told her that this card must hold a deep connection to him.
Ariana made another attempt to dial the number on the card, but once again, there was no response.
Could the shop be closed during the day as well?
She furrowed her brow, contemplating her next move.
Perhaps searching for the store’s name online would yield some results.
However, her enthusiasm quickly waned as she delved into the search.
The results were inundated with useless information and flashy websites.
Undeterred, Ariana closed those unhelpful tabs and persisted in her search.
The name ‘Eternal Hope’ proved to be far from unique, with numerous unrelated businesses such as hair salons, bakeries, flower shops, and clothing stores sharing the same name.
Surprisingly, even within Eleymond alone, there were at least ten establishments bearing that name.
However, none of them appeared to have any connection to the card she held in her hand.
Just as Ariana was about to relinquish her efforts, a forum post caught her attention.
The post featured a photo shared by a user who claimed to have commissioned a custom-made dress at a small, old shop during a trip.
Although the shop itself appeared unremarkable, the dress showcased in the photo was unexpectedly exquisite, displaying exceptional craftsmanship and superior quality.

Intrigued, Ariana opened the post and discovered that the shop’s name indeed matched the one on the card, Eternal Hope.
She scrutinized the photo closely, and a sense of familiarity washed over her as she examined the style of the dress.
Suddenly, it dawned on her.
The row of garments neatly arranged in the wardrobe on the Anderson family’s fourth-floor!
A rush of excitement and nervousness surged through Ariana as her spirits soared.
Carefully, she studied the dress in the photo once more, confirming her intuition.
There was no doubt in her mind that the clothes in the Anderson family’s fourth-floor room had been fashioned by the same designer as the dress before her eyes.
Not only were their styles akin, but even the minute details of the stitching on the cuffs were identical.
Ariana’s nerves were tingling with anticipation, and her heart raced in her chest.
She sensed an overwhelming premonition.
This was a significant discovery, one that held immense significance for her quest.
Ariana found herself captivated by the picture, her intuition growing increasingly powerful with each gaze.
