Chapter 1390


    This small town still had a lot of modern buildings from its heyday. Around a hundred years ago, due to


    Moonbrook’s proximity to the ocean and rivers, Moonbrook became a hub for local and foreign traders,


    mainly engaged in the textile, and port transportation business. It was pretty bustling back then.


    But when the docks were all moved to J City and the rise of railroads led to the decline of waterways,


    Moonbrook went downhill too.


    However, since it preserved many old buildings, Moonbrook had be a famous tourist spot and a


    popr location for film and TV shoots Especially when shooting specific themed movies, directors


    usually picked this ce as their location.


    Last time, the theme for “Beauty’s Wardrobe” was about traveling back to ancient times. This time, they


    were going back to the modern era to experience the style of the socialites of that period.


    So, the crew decided to shoot in Moonbrook.


    By the time the three of them arrived in Moonbrook, it was nearly two o’clock. Hans gave Sallie a call.


    Upon hearing that Hans had arrived, Sallie instructed him to find a cafe to wait, and then she hurried


    over.


    When Sallie arrived at the café, she was surprised that Hans hadn’te alone.


    On seeing Estelle and Henson, Sallie was both surprised and embarrassed, “What are you guys doing


    here?”


    Estelle replied with a smile, “We didn’t feelfortable letting Hanse alone, so we thought, why


    note along and make a trip out of it.”


    Sallie’s eyes were a little red and swollen as if she had been crying, but she tried to act normal, “Alright,


    I’ll ask Amber Dony and the person in charge for some time offter, then I’ll show you guys around the


    town. The view here is amazing!”


    Hans said, “Sallie, stop pretending. Estelle and I already know.”


    Sallie’s eyes welled up with tears, and she said guiltily, “Estelle, I’m so useless. I’ve let you guys down!”


    “It’s not right to put yourself down just because you’ve faced some difficulties.” Estelle handed Sallie a


    cup of coffee, “Now tell us what exactly happened.” Sallie held the cup of coffee and slowly started,


    “The second episode of the show is being shot here. The director even increased the difficulty, adding


    costume design to our tasks. This town used to have a booming textile industry, and there are still


    many old tailors living here. The crew chose three famous tailors, each with their own style, to take part


    in the show. We were supposed to pick one to cooperate with, and the choice was determined by


    drawing lots.”


    “I drew Mr. Ger, a man in his sixties famous for his hand-embroidered roses. It’s said that a vintage


    dress he made was auctioned off for 120,000 dors once. He’s quite famous here. But he’s stubborn


    and wouldn’t even talk to me. I’ve been trying to reach him since yesterday but to no avail.”


    “Heather Vang and Mia, who beat me in thest round, have already started working on their tasks with


    their chosen tailors. I’m still stuck at square one, and Amber has been on my case about it.”


    Sallie’s voice started to choke, “I asked one of the staff, and they told me that Carme did this on


    purpose. She knew Mr. Ger had a vtile temper. That’s why she made me draw his lot. But no one


    will stand up for me, and I don’t know what to do.”


    When Hans called Sallie, she had just been chased out of Mr. Ger’s tailor shop by his family. She sat


    on the steps, and hearing Hans’ voice, she couldn’t hold back her tears.


    No matter how Hans asked, Sallie’ didn’t want to say anything, which was why Hans rushed over.


    Henson frowned and asked, “Why doesn’t Mr. Ger want to cooperate? Does he want money?”


    Estelleughed, saying, “The Ger family has been tailoring for over a hundred years. Their tailor


    shop is a century-old establishment, and their only specialty is hand-embroidered roses. They are the


    only ones in the country who can do this, Do you think they’re short of cash?”

    Hans asked, puzzled, “Then why doesn’t he want to cooperate?”


    Estelle raised an eyebrow, saying, “Maybe he doesn’t want to be on TV. The Gers have always


    preferred to keep a low profile.”


    Otherwise, they wouldn’t still be running their tailor shop in this materialistic age, in this declining town.


    Sallie said worriedly, “So, I might not be able toplete this task. Today is already Wednesday!”


    Estelle asked, “How many times have you gone to see Mr. Ger?”


    Sallie hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, “I’ve tried to see him seven times.”
