It was all because North was Estella’s daughter that she was down on her luck. …In the hall of the show event, the celebrities were waiting to get an invitation card to the occasion. A lot of reporters were crowded at the door.North walked into the hall using the underground passage, but she could still hear the excitement of Reina’s fans.“Reina is coming today. I wonder if I can meet her. I’m so excited.”“I heard that all the guests today are big shots from the design or fashion fields. There are also the heirs of the rich families. I’m sure celebrities won’t be shown in this live broadcast.”“Yes, you can say that about ordinary celebrities. Obviously, we can’t see them in the live show. But Reina is not merely a celebrity. She’s also the young lady of the Jordan family and a contestant of this design competition.”“Plus, she was the champion of the previous design competition. I’m sure she’ll be in the limelight today.” “Ah! Have you guys heard? Leon will be here too.
Gerald cocked his brow. He did not expect such a question from Mason.He thought. “Why is Mason… interested in North?”“I’m just curious because it was the first time I saw you protect a person like that.”Mason knew that he was not interested in North. But at first glance, she found her inexplicably… familiar.Yeah, she looked familiar. But Mason had never met North. Thus, that familiarity was inexplicable. “What can I do for you?” Gerald asked.Mason stopped dwelling on that and answered lightly, “I might leave the Scott family after a while. It’s too chaotic there. Nelly might not stand firm after I’ve left.” Gerald raised his brows. “Do you want me to help Nelly?”Nelly would undeniably be the heir of the Scott family with Gerald’s support. After a brief pause, Mason shook his head. “Nelly isn’t fit for doing business. Let’s talk about this later. I came back to tell you that I’ve gained some clues about that affair.”Gerald’s eyes turned gloomy. …North found the
“Yeah, does it make you fashionable to wear a cheap dress in front of famous designers?”The celebrities looked glamorous in the gowns they had borrowed from various large brands. They were trying to compete with their charms as well.They competed on the level of the brands of their gowns and their popularity. No one wanted to be outdone. Hence, they would try all means to criticize North when they realized that she had put on a cheap dress. They did this just to show their exquisite sense of fashion.North waited for them to finish talking. Then, she slowly looked up. “Sandra, which brand are you wearing?” Sandra raised her head arrogantly. “It’s ‘Flores’ by Millor Studios. Listen. This gown—”“Oh? Millor launched ‘Flores’ two years ago, but it was taken down because it wasn’t stylish enough. A small batch of it was gotten rid of at a very low price. I wonder where you got this gown, Ms. Sandra.” Everyone became silent. A gown from two years ago? It had long become out of d
It would be a serious problem if a designer wore a knockoff. People would despise such an action. North blinked.She thought. “Wait. Gerald gave me this dress. Why is it Leon’s design?” But Gerald and Leon were friends. Thus, North did not dwell much on it. Besides, it would never be a knockoff since Gerald had asked her to put it on. Absent-mindedly, North asked, “A knockoff? Are you so sure, Ms. Sandra? This is Leon’s product. If you misunderstand, you might not get any fashion resources from now on.” If Sandra accused a designer’s product of being a knockoff, no designer would want to cooperate with her. Besides, it was Leon whom she had accused. If it was an ordinary person, they would weigh the pros and cons after listening to North.But Sandra was Reina’s lackey. Reina had repeatedly stressed that Leon was an aloof man. He would never design gowns for any celebrities or upper-class ladies individually. In addition, no one had put on Leon’s clothes during the whole
Sandra openly showed her phone to everyone. Meanwhile, the netizens watching the live broadcast could see it too.The conversation between Sandra and Reina was shown on Twitter. Sandra: [Reina, North is wearing a gray one-piece dress and insists that it’s Leon’s design. Do you think it’s possible?]Reina sounded helpless. [Yeah, North is always like this. She’s a little vain and childish. But she isn’t evil. So, Dad and I let her be. I didn’t expect that she’d try to scam Leon…] [Sandra, help me talk some sense into North. Ask her to put on another dress. If Mr. Leon comes and sees her knockoff, he’ll be upset.]Sandra put her phone in front of the camera for five minutes to show that she was close to Reina. “Would I care about you if Reina didn’t ask for my help? Leon will be here soon. You’d better not embarrass the rest of us!” Those influencers panicked. “Yeah, Leon has zero tolerance. What if he sees North and leaves in a fit of fury?”“North, get lost now. Don’t be a
Leon did not mention Sandra at all. Instead, everything he said seemed to be a direct hit against her.Sandra’s eyes widened in disbelief.North… The woman in Leon’s photo on Twitter was North!Leon had even said that this was the design he was most happy with in recent years. That meant that North was not wearing a fake. Instead, it was a gown that had been carefully prepared.And what had Sandra just done?Sandra’s face turned ashen as she shook her head in fear.No! This was all different from what Reina had told her!“No, it can’t be. Reina definitely said that Leon wouldn’t design something for someone else. Reina would never lie to me.”It was only because of this that Sandra had brazenly dared to harass North!“You must have set me up! Did you bribe Leon with something?! I just knew you were that kind of b*tch! Say something, North!”North did not even bother to look at her. “Haven’t you figured out who got you into this horrible mess yet? I’m really disappointed in yo
Reina was being dragged into the gossip mill.Bryan was a huge company’s chairman. As such, he had gone through a lot in life. He did not want to have it out for a young woman such as North because of this incident.However, the same could not be said for Gabriel. He could not hold himself back.Reina was his precious little sister. He could not stand for her to be dragged into trouble by North and insulted because of it!“North, you have a poor character and have offended too many people. Yet, you keep pushing the blame on Reina. You should reflect on yourself when you see that people dislike you!”North nearly laughed out of annoyance.She could not deny that Bryan was a good father, and that Gabriel was a good brother. It was just that they were both a little stupid.When it came to Reina, it was like they had lost all their brain cells.“Gabe, don’t be mad. Maybe this is just a misunderstanding on North’s part.” Reina hurriedly moved forward. “Sandra already told me what ha
The people around them all nodded slightly. “That’s right. It was that mistress who caused the first Mrs. Myers’ death. Mr. Gabriel really went too far with that statement.”“Hasn’t the Jordan family always looked down on mistresses? What’s going on here? Why are they openly standing on the side of a mistress and insulting Henry’s first wife and legitimate daughter?”“And they’re even saying that North bullied Reina. The whole of the Myers family chased North out because of Reina and Melinda. All of Peacevale knows this. It’s just the Jordan family being ignorant!”For some reason, Bryan suddenly felt a pang when he heard all of this. It was as if something precious had been slowly torn from him.It was as if he had done something completely unreasonable.Gabriel’s rage also dissipated in an instant. He muttered a little but did not say anything coherently.Had he gone mad? How could he have said such a thing? The worst part of it was that he had actually thought of North’s dead
