Chapter 1287 She Hated Him

Author: Tiny Mountains
Francis’s smile froze immediately. As expected, James was a sly businessman.

He wanted Ashlyn’s ring, but he wasn’t going to ask for it himself. Instead, he wanted Francis to take care of it. They had yet to sign any contracts, so there was a chance James would change his mind and give his business to any other company. James was making his request clear—there was a chance James would agree to give Nevera Designs his business if Francis helped James get the ring. If Francis failed to do so, his company would definitely lose this deal.

“Nevera Designs will be in charge of designing all the jewelry for the Addaway family for the year, including the emerald design,” James added. “If she doesn’t want to sell it, I’m fine with just borrowing it for a few days.”

Francis immediately started to waver. This was a deal worth several hundred million…

Several hundred million!

“I’ll give it a shot, but I can’t guarantee anything. I’ll speak to her tomorrow,” Francis said.

    When Francis saw that Ashlyn refused to give in, he had no choice but to say, “Ashlyn, if my memory serves me right, Xenia’s the one who gave you the original rock, right? I bought it from Hedenda for a few million and gave it to Xenia for her birthday. Of course, I have no objection to her giving it to you because you’re good friends, but don’t you think it’s a little inappropriate of you to refuse to help me when you’re using my rock? Let me put it this way—you might be the best designer in the world, but that means nothing if no one understands and admires your work. You should be honored that President Addaway admires your design and is willing to only borrow the ring for a few days instead of buying it outright! Also, this will affect our company’s future. Can’t you take one for the team? If you insist on doing things your way, I’ll have to take the rock back and treat it as if you’re commissioned to do this job. I’ll pay you for it!”Ashlyn’s face instantly turned red with rage.

    James figured that since he wanted to work with the Lawrence family, he’d have to show them his sincerity. Propelling Ashlyn to fame would be the best way to do so.As for the ring… Well, it wasn’t as if he was forcing her into giving up something she liked. He simply adored it and admired her talent.The fact she was so young and beautiful was a plus point!It was a pity she was making the ring for someone else. He felt uncomfortable at the thought of her giving the ring to another man.“That’s good. From now on, I’ll only have Miss Lawrence work on the Addaway family’s designs,” James said. When he thought about how huffy Ashlyn had looked earlier, he couldn’t resist the urge to joke around with her.Francis, however, didn’t think he could persuade Ashlyn to agree to so many things at once. More importantly, he had to get this deal.“What’s wrong? Is there going to be any issue?” James asked.“No, no. Why don’t we sign the contract first? Once that’s taken care of, I’ll show y

    After Ashlyn left, James admired the ring from every direction. He loved it.He didn’t have many pieces of jewelry, and this was his favorite. It had been made by someone he had fallen for at first sight.“Let’s sign the contract. Any rings, necklaces, and whatever jewelry has to be designed by Ashlyn,” James said. “I’m leaving once the contract is signed.”“I had it prepared this morning. You mentioned something about adding on an emerald necklace, President Addaway? It’s not in the contract, so I’ll have the legal department add it. Also, how many years will this contract be valid? Should we mention that as well?” There was no way Francis would forget about this. An emerald necklace was worth much more than an emerald ring, and he knew this was his compensation for helping James get the ring.How could James not know what Francis was thinking? However, he chose not to say anything.“We’ll settle for one year for now. Add it in,” James said.“The legal department will need some

    “Look, Ashlyn. I feel pissed on your behalf that the ring you were making for President Conrad got taken away by James Addaway. But really,you have no choice but to grin and bear it,” Shawna advised. “You’re still one of Nevera Designs’ employees, aren’t you? Besides, think about it this way—you’ll be the talk of the jewelry industry if you manage to close this multimillion-dollar deal. Can’t you just make another ring for President Conrad? I don’t really see what the problem is.”Ashlyn didn’t respond. Shawna had never been in a relationship before, so she couldn’t understand how terrible it felt to have James stick a foot in her relationship. It felt as if James had ruined a special connection between Ashlyn and Calvin. Ashlyn had always been on the pessimistic side, so this sudden turn of events only made her even more depressed. She bit her lip, still dissatisfied.“I’m not that crazy about becoming a renowned jewelry designer. Anyway, Calvin can help me with that!” she said.“W

    James glanced at him. “Too? Does that mean your girlfriend’s also a jewelry designer, President Conrad?”Calvin smiled. “Yes, she is.”“Well, wouldn’t you consider this meeting as fate bringing us together? If we could work together, it’d be the cherry on top,” James said.“That’s still up for discussion.” Calvin wasn’t so easily swayed.“Naturally,” James said.At this moment, Calvin’s phone pinged. It was a message from someone at Fernandez Public Relations, saying there would be an emergency meeting to deal with a picketing issue.He frowned and quietly told Neil about this. “I have to be there.”Neil knew pickets and strikes weren’t to be trifled with, so he said, “Go on.”“Sorry, President Addaway, but I have to attend an emergency meeting,” Calvin said.After that, he left.“Was President Conrad in such a hurry to leave because he wanted to see his girlfriend?” James said teasingly.“You jest, President Addaway. Calvin’s not the type to do something like that,” Neil sa

    James frowned slightly before saying, “Oh, it’s nothing. I know Ned; he and my cousin are friends. He stayed at my home for a few days during a stopover at Lesia on his way to Emmeria, and he’s the one who gave me the idea to work with New East Corporation.”“So were you referring to my sister, President Addaway? Have you seen her before?” Neil was surprised. Based on everything he’d heard, it was obvious James knew Ashlyn, yet he was sly enough to make Neil guess—not that James would say anything even if Neil guessed correctly. Also, James had earlier mentioned a female friend had designed the ring he was wearing, and from what Neil had seen of it, the design was similar to Ashlyn’s usual style. However, Neil wasn’t familiar with jewelry and couldn’t be sure. So, James’s female friend was…“No, no. Look at the time! I should head back to my hotel,” James said.“Speaking of my sister, she’s quite a fan of the pastries at Sweet Tooth. She’s currently working at Nevera Designs in Lyrd

    Ashlyn thought it over and decided to keep the truth to herself. “No! It has nothing to do with me.”“Does he know who you are?”“I don’t think so. I didn’t say anything about that to him.”Neil figured that just because she didn’t say anything didn’t mean Francis didn’t. Of course, there was also a chance nobody said anything.However, there was one thing he was sure about—James knew who Ashlyn was, and he was obviously interested in her. He didn’t want Neil and Calvin to think he was trying to steal her, so he pretended not to know she was a member of the Lawrence family and also Calvin’s girlfriend. He knew he would be detested for chasing after someone else’s girlfriend. All he did was “accidentally” let slip that there was something between him and Ashlyn, so that they’d know they were acquainted.James was great at playing these games!“Is he in Genovia?” Ashlyn asked.“Yeah. He came to negotiate a business deal with us.”“Don’t agree to work with him! He’s a total scumba

    Ashlyn went through the contract. There wasn’t anything specific about the emerald ring’s design, so she would have to ask the client himself about what he wanted.“Can you ask your dad what James said about the design? There’s no way we can just pluck something out of the air like this,” Ashlyn said.Xenia called Francis. He had her hand the phone to Ashlyn.“Ashlyn, I’m attending a function now, so I gave President Addaway your number. He’ll contact you and tell you the specifics.” After that, Francis hung up.The man was as sly as they came. He knew there was a chance Ashlyn wouldn’t contact James if he gave her James’s number, so he gave her number to James instead.Soon, Ashlyn received a message from an unknown number. All it said was, “This is James Addaway.”She reluctantly sent him a barrage of questions, including his mother’s ring size, skin tone, age, her preference for simplicity or luxury, her expectations for the ring, and so on.James answered her in detail and e

    Benjamin walked to her side and suddenly hugged her. It was as if there were thousands of words that could not be said. Jacey did not refute. It was as if the two of them had known each other for a long time. It was as if they had known each other for a long time."Your mother did a good job with this exhibition," Jacey said."It's good. After all, you're an expert in this field," Benjamin said. "Or if you have any requests when you get married, tell my mother and let her customize the most beautiful jewelry for you.""Married?" Jacey didn't understand.She had never thought about marriage. Why did she feel so close to her when Benjamin mentioned it?She still felt quite confused."I'll treat you to a meal later?" Benjamin said. "What do you want to eat?"Jacey's eyes lit up. "Hotpot? How about a hotpot?"Benjamin smiled and said, "I thought you had a profound hobby. This is it."Jacey smiled again.Jacey didn't like the feeling of being surrounded by people, so she chose the

    Kenny smoked as he spoke. He had the look of a veteran in society. It was hard not to believe that he was a nouveau riche who did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of his subordinates to save money."Sir, you've found the right person. Come and take a look." The workshop owner said. Then, he whispered a few words into Kenny's ear and asked, "Can you accept it?""What's so unacceptable about that? I'm definitely showing it to Party A. These people grew up in the countryside. What kind of milk have they drunk? I can't tell if it's true or not," Kenny said."Alright, alright," the workshop owner said with a smile."Just don't make it obvious. I'll go take a look at the manufacturing workshop." Kenny said.The owner of the workshop was initially quite shy, but Kenny said that he had ordered a lot, so the other party agreed.As soon as he entered the workshop, Jacey secretly turned on the pinhole camera when the workshop owner was not paying attention and filmed the production proce

    Jacey felt that under Kenny's serious and unsmiling appearance, there was a soft and warm heart.This note looked like it had been around for a long time. It was unknown how long Kenny searched last night before he found it and gave it to Jacey so easily.Jacey left.However, she did not expect that something would happen on her first day there.She brought a vacuum camera and made her clothes look like rural women's. After finding the milk production point, she said that she wanted to order milk in large quantities because she heard that the milk here was very cheap.The people in the workshop looked at each other and said, "I'm not selling!"The people in the workshop were very smart and vigilant. Their workshop had a fixed delivery channel. This woman was alone and was unlikely to be here to order. They found an excuse and sent Jacey away.No matter how much Jacey dawdled, the other party refused to let her in.For a moment, Jacey didn't know what to do. She was quite depres

    Jacey was a little stunned. She really didn't know much about what the parents were talking about.Moreover, she hadn't interacted with Benjamin for a few days. Moreover, when Ashlyn came to visit this time, she didn't say a word about him. It made her feel very uneasy. She even wondered if he didn't mean that at all. It was all her own wishful thinking…For the past few days, Benjamin had not come to look for Jacey. She had not contacted him either.However, a few days later, Jacey received a Whatsapp message from Benjamin. There were many photos. It was a rather high-class living room. There were boxes in the living room. The living room was simple and noble, like a top-notch courtyard house.[This is the showroom and display cabinet for my mother's medieval jewelry. How about letting your mother take a look?] Benjamin said.[Where is this place? This place is so beautiful.][My mother's dowry. The courtyard house in Genovia.] Benjamin said.Jacey thought to herself, "As expec

    Today, Benjamin had already returned home."How is it? How's your first time meeting your in-laws alone?" Calvin teased Ashlyn."It's quite good. I'm preparing to hold a medieval jewelry exhibition and then let my employees learn medieval video skills. I said that I wanted to use their jewelry as an exhibition, but they didn't even want the deposit. How generous," Ashlyn said lazily as she leaned against the sofa."It's… it's over?" Calvin looked at Ashlyn and said in surprise.Benjamin sat there and smiled."What else?" Ashlyn asked."What are you going to do this time? Aren't you going to look for your daughter-in-law? Did you see what she looked like?" Calvin poured a cup of tea for Ashlyn.After so many years, Ashlyn still hadn't changed from her usual macho self. In fact, she was even more macho than before. Perhaps Calvin had been the one to deal with everything after marriage, developing Ashlyn's habit of not using her brain.Of course, it only meant that she didn't use

    For some reason, Ashlyn felt like crying when she saw this. In the past, these jewelry had traveled to another country. Now, these jewelry were all back with stories.She thought about how the person who owned these jewelry had brought them overseas and brought them back…She felt that the Irving family was worthy of admiration.Linda had gone out at some point. Seeing that Ashlyn was looking at her very seriously, she didn't disturb her.When she came in again, she was carrying a cup of coffee. The fragrant Americano she'd just ordered from the coffee machine on the first floor. It was made from good coffee beans.She handed the coffee to Ashlyn."Have a cup of coffee when you're tired. Anyway, these jewelry don't have long legs. They won't run away on their own," Linda said. "You can come and take a look whenever you want. I've always been here."Only then did Ashlyn feel that she had been watching for an hour or two, but she had always been like a pious primary school student

    On Saturday afternoon, Ashlyn drove to Jacey's house, a very simple villa.Ashlyn knew that writers liked to live in such a quiet place because they had inspiration in such a place.Jacey's mother, Linda, was already standing on her steps to welcome her.Linda was dressed in a Chinese-style robe. She looked very ancient, but because she was slender, she looked especially good. She looked like a fairy.Ashlyn was dressed in a very fashionable modern outfit. She was wearing a knee-length skirt, pearl earrings, and earrings. She looked especially round and beautiful. One look and one could tell that she was the kind of person who had never experienced the blow of life."I'm Jacey's mother. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Conrad." Linda reached out and held Isobel's hand. "Jacey said that you're coming to our house to take a look. I am so happy. I specially brought all the jewelry from the other houses here and packed them up. If these jewelry can be displayed in the exhibition and let everyon

    "Excuse me, how did you know about me?" Jacey asked."Oh, Benjamin's phone was on the table that day. He went to the washroom and I happened to see the photo album he was looking through. I picked it up and saw these few pieces of jewelry. You know it too. As jewelry makers, we won't let go of those rare jewelry no matter what. I asked Benjamin where these pieces of jewelry came from and he told me about you," Ashlyn said neither servile nor overbearing.She understood a girl's mentality very well. She knew that if the woman found out that the man had taken the initiative to leak her news to her parents, she would be very disgusted and feel passive. Therefore, she did not say that. Instead, she said that she had seen it herself. She even said that Benjamin was looking at these photos at that time.Jacey's heart would probably feel warm. After all, a man was looking at her photo behind her back. She should have a good impression of this man.Jacey really thought so. When she heard A

    After Benjamin returned home, he showed Ashlyn the jewelry he had taken for Jacey.Ashlyn was very knowledgeable. One look at this jewelry and she knew that it was priceless.Moreover, the girl wearing the jewelry also had extremely good skin and was extremely delicate.Calvin, who was sitting at the side, also watched.However, Ashlyn didn't just look at the jewelry. She said, "You only bought jewelry. Who is this person wearing jewelry behind you?"Ashlyn asked Benjamin gossipily."Don't ask," Benjamin said.Ashlyn smiled. "You said that you only took photos of the jewelry but didn't take photos of her. Aren't you trying to arouse my curiosity? Now that I'm curious, you're not making a move. However, I've been working on researching National Jewelry recently, so I'm lacking samples in this area. When are you going to ask this girl out? Let me take a closer look.
