Even when falling, Faye beautifully composed herself. She was like an expressionist dancer. At least, that was the thought of those who saw her fall.

This included Victoria herself.

It all happened so fast that she barely had time to react. Just seconds ago, Victoria was about to fall right into the table, yet now Faye had pulled her back up and saved her from that tragedy.

When Victoria came back to her senses, Faye had already fallen elegantly onto the floor, hitting the table and causing the pastries and drinks atop to fall.

"Aunt Faye …" Victoria hurriedly reached out to help Faye up as she pushed herself off the floor. She checked Faye's body worriedly, asking, "Are you hurt? I'm sorry, I—I didn't mean to …"

Those last few words of hers were said quietly, clearly indicating her guilt.

Faye acted oblivious to this, however, and smiled. "I'm alright. I wasn't hurt."

Victoria immediately grew more guilty. She gnawed on her lip, feeling upset and anxious inside.

"Are you okay?

    After Faye left the restroom, she thought of heading upstairs to get some air. But she overheard the conversation between Victoria and Sherry.Faye paused in her steps and looked at the two from afar.From the first time she met Victoria, she knew the girl was the innocent type and not one who would scheme behind others. Faye had a strong feeling Victoria had been manipulated to do what she did earlier tonight. Hence, she had saved the girl even at the risk of hurting herself.Looks like Faye's intuition was right this time."Why would I lie about Aunt Faye for no reason, Victoria? T—This is something everyone knows about. It's not like I'm saying anything untrue …" Sherry said, looking aggrieved. "Plus, she's your aunt and my sister-in-law. Wouldn't I be embarrassing our family by saying these things about her?"Victoria frowned and asked, "So what grievances do you have against us? Why slander our Shaw family?"Faye nearly laughed at the girl's words.Sherry, meanwhile, had tu

    Faye seemed distracted when they returned from the banquet. She knew she shouldn't care about what Nick said. After all, he was a madman who would do anything to pick on her. However, what he said about Cedric losing the person he loved most made her curious. Regardless, she kept convincing herself that they were all adults, and it was natural for Cedric to have a past. Faye had used to date Anthon as well. On top of that, judging from what Nick said, that woman was no longer alive. If that was the case, Faye saw no point in dwelling over it. "What are you thinking about?" Cedric stepped out of the shower and saw Faye sitting dazedly by the bed. He approached, hugged her, and leaned his face against hers. Enticed, Faye turned her face away. "Just thinking about work. Are you not busy?"She glanced at the time and noticed it was only midnight. Cedric would usually need to work past midnight before having the time to shower. He narrowed his eyes and looked seductively at F

    Spotting the arrogance in Anastasia's eyes, Faye smiled. "As long as the requests are reasonable, yes." She raised an eyebrow and added, "If they're unreasonable, I can still try my best. May I ask what kind of requirements you have, Ms. Streep?"Anastasia hadn't expected Faye to speak so audaciously despite her innocent appearance. Her expression darkened, and she raised her chin and stared at Faye sharply. "You're quite arrogant. I'd like to see how many of my requests you can fulfill." She placed a list on the table. "All my requirements are here. If you can meet over half of them, you can take this order. But let me be upfront about this. If the design and the final product deviate too far from my requirements, I won't just cancel the order. I will expose Light Moon Designs for scamming its clients. You better not blame me for disregarding our friendship."Lincoln initially thought that Anastasia had come here to place an order. But when he felt the unpleasant atmosphere betwee

    Although Light Moon Designs' products were usually quite expensive, the cost of a single dress reaching 200 million was unheard of. In fact, it was unprecedented for gowns to be sold at that price. Cameron, who was the top designer for gowns, currently priced his at a price below 100 million. After all, dresses were a luxury and also a consumable item. The socialites from high society wouldn't wear the same gown more than twice, no matter how wealthy they were, so even the richest people wouldn't spend 200 million on a dress.Light Moon Designs primary focus wasn't on producing gowns. If it was a creation by an ordinary designer, it typically costs hundreds of thousands at most. Faye's designs would be slightly pricier, but there were many that priced below 700 thousand after the discount. The more luxurious ones may cost one or two million, a price range that was generally acceptable to most people from the elite community. Anastasia presented a long list of requirements to

    Faye naturally wouldn't agree to Nick's request."No, thank you. Whatever grievances between us have already ended. Please don't bother me again. If my husband sees it, he might misunderstand. If that happens, it will only backfire on you and the Lynch family."As Faye was about to leave, Nick ran after her and said menacingly, "Faye, you don't know your place!"Faye ignored him, and he continued, "Do you think your husband married you because he loves you? Don't be naive! I know why you got married. It's because you look like the woman he loved! Cedric promised not to marry anyone but her and vowed to remain chaste for her."He happened to sleep with you by accident the day he was drugged, and you happened to look like her. He chose to marry you to avoid making the same mistake again. If you don't believe me, why don't you ask him if he is visiting her grave today? If he truly forgot about her, why would he go to her grave every year?"Do you know? He has a villa in Jeorgia calle

    That night, Cedric returned home late, reeking of alcohol. He took a shower to freshen up before lying down in the bedroom. Faye hadn't been able to sleep, and felt Cedric kissing her cheek before saying goodnight. She leaned against Cedric's chest, her thoughts in turmoil. It took her quite some time to drift off to sleep.By the time Faye woke up in the morning, Cedric was already gone. Faye regained her composure, had breakfast prepared by her mother, and went to the company, getting into work mode.Arrangements had been made regarding the material she needed, and her top priority was designing.She held the list Anastasia had given her and spent the entire morning going through it. She started to sketch a design in the afternoon, and continued until around ten at night. Jamie brought her takeaway for dinner, and Faye had a few bites before diving back into work, barely taking a break.Jamie remained by her side to tend to her every need, pouring coffee and bringing he

    Faye asked Jamie and learned that it generally took the most outstanding designers at Light Moon Designs more than three days to create a design. With that being said, she ultimately decided to contact Anastasia the following night to come and review the draft. After all, if she were to tell Anastasia that she had finished the draft in half a day, Anastasia would probably nitpick and accuse Faye of not taking the assignment seriously. If experienced designers generally need over three days, it would be reasonable for a designer at Faye's level to complete it in two days. Faye took a minute to plan her schedule and continued to work on other matters. However, that afternoon, Lincoln rushed into her office, worried. "Ms. Fischer, Anastasia made her uncle reject our order for diamonds as expected."Faye was slightly taken aback. "I don't recall asking you to place an order for diamonds.""I had the materials department place the order because you had arranged everything except f

    Faye glanced at him. "Aren't you busy today? Why are you here so early?""I've concluded my work for now. You, on the other hand …" Cedric stared seriously at her. "I heard someone is picking on you."News sure traveled fast, and Faye tugged the corner of her mouth, not knowing what to say. "If you don't want to take this order, I will handle it for you." He studied the resigned look on her face adoringly.She batted her eyes and raised an eyebrow. "It's fine. I can handle this.""Alright, then." Cedric nodded and opened the car door for her. The young girl who came to speak to him hadn't left, and Cedric frowned at her. He closed the car door and was about to head to the driver's seat when the girl approached him again. "Handsome, since your girlfriend is here, I can explain everything to her if you don't want to upset her. I just want your number to complete my mission."The girl was in a sleeveless top with a white mini-skirt that outlined her curves. Her fair skin and do

    Faye had made arrangements for Jeorgia, while Cedric started an investigation into what the Anderson and Garcia families were doing. Faye knew that this was a trap and that nothing happened by coincidence. However, she didn't know what the culprit's motive was. She didn't have to wait for long because she received a phone call from Tracy later that afternoon. "Faye, you could've come at me if you were upset. Why did you target Grandma? She treated you well, yet you killed her over such trivial matters. Are you even human?"Faye smirked. "Since when do you care about her, Tracy?""What are you talking about? That's our grandmother. You did this, didn't you?""Would you believe me if I said I didn't do it?" Faye sneered. "Don't think that you can do anything you want just because you married someone rich. Faye, don't even dream of getting your murderer of a mother out! I won't let you. You better come back to Jeorgia, or this won't ever be over."With that, Tracy hung up.

    Clark's words only enraged Flora. Eleanor abused Faye when she was a child, which led to Faye getting sick repeatedly. She even allowed Lizzie to go into their home to poison Faye while Flora was at work. Faye suffered through so much hardship at the time and came close to dying. She was already poisoned when she was pregnant with Faye, which meant Faye was born with poison in her body. Though Flora tried her best to counter the poison, Faye was still more frail than ordinary children. Eleanor knew that Faye wasn't Clint's child, so she had always been displeased with her. "Had I known that she's the kind of person who can harm a child, I would never leave Faye with her." Rage filled Flora's eyes. Just as she was about to leave, Eleanor started coughing on the bed. Clark shouted and ran outside to get the doctor. Until the doctor arrived, there were two minutes when Flora was alone with Eleanor. It wasn't until the doctor arrived that Flora found out Clark didn't even

    Lizzie and Clint were momentarily stunned, confused by Tracy's words. "I just received a call from Uncle. He said that Grandma passed away and we need to go home."Clint jolted and collapsed onto the ground. "What?"Tracy smirked. "They can't reach you or Mom, so he called me instead. We need to go home right now.""Ha! So what if she's dead? She doesn't see us as family, so why should we go back?" Lizzie scoffed in contempt. Eleanor disliked her right from the start. If Eleanor didn't stop her from marrying Clint at the very beginning, Flora would have never gotten married to Clint. Though Eleanor helped get rid of Flora in the end, she continued to mistreat Lizzie when she finally married Clint. Eleanor resented Flora for being too strong-willed and disrespectful. However, she looked down on Lizzie for not being as talented as Flora and incapable of bringing more profit to the Brown family. She kept comparing Lizzie to Flora and bossed her around. Lizzie remained patie

    "Damn it! Damn it! It has to be Faye! This has to be her doing. Damn it!" Tracy pushed everything on the table to the ground. Her face twisted viciously with anger. Over the past few days, scandals about her have circulated on the internet. Even information about her age when she started sleeping around and the number of men she slept with for money was released. Evidence of her plotting to steal Anthon away and bring down the Lynch family was released as well.

    Ethan sent the photos and returned to his apartment to wait while drinking. Due to the interview that took place at noon, Ethan's divorce stirred up a storm on Facebook. At the moment, he didn't need to pay to obtain attention. After Tracy declared her innocence, everyone considered Ethan a jerk who heartlessly searched for an excuse to divorce Monica.

"Tracy, look at what you've done to your boyfriend.""She stole Faye's boyfriend and sent Anthon's family to prison. Now, she's here destroying Mr. Garcia's family. He lost everything because of her. How interesting," Clark chimed in. He still remembered how Tracy insulted him when he tried to ask Ethan for money. He held a grudge. Tracy's expression darkened.

"I'm sorry, but they are not my relatives. Please handle it according to the law." After hanging up, she looked at Cedric, who was waiting for breakfast.
