Delbert put on an act again and approached Sadie, but beneath his gentle appearance, there was a cold heart.

He knocked on Sadie's door, but there was no response.

"I'm not hungry," Sadie replied sullenly.

When she returned home, her face was swollen from Felipe's blows.

After applying an ice pack, the swelling had reduced somewhat, but the unsightly handprint was still visible on her face.

With her disfigured appearance, Sadie didn't want to see Delbert!

Holding the ice pack against her face, she rolled it continuously.

She closed her eyes, hoping the swelling would subside by tomorrow.

After all, she was still in the middle of a bet with Harriet and couldn't afford to be seen as a joke.

The next day, Harriet returned to the design studio.

The news of Harriet's altercation with Mindy and her expulsion from the company had spread throughout the entire company.

    "I have two siblings in my family. My eldest brother isn't into design, so he joined the national defense forces after college and now serves as a commanding officer in the army. "My second brother enjoys working with animals, so he's constantly researching how to care for rare animals. "Their professions are both positions that the country values and won't easily release them. My dad had no choice. With no one to inherit his talent in designing, he placed all his hopes on me." Mia shook her head resignedly. "Mia, your family members are all so talented," Carol couldn't help but exclaim. Even Harriet was impressed by their achievements. The father and sons pursued different careers, not relying on their family's wealth like typical heirs. They had worked hard and succeeded based on their own abilities, which was a fact that was truly admirable. "My brothers are indeed talented. I'm the least capable, so my dad forced me to study design. Unfortunately I don't have a tale

    The acceptance of this batch of clothing in the market far exceeded her expectations. From the perspective of their bet, she should indeed be happy. However, deep down, she knew that this batch of clothes wasn’t her design. For Sadie, a designer, it was undoubtedly an insult. When Mindy sent her the design drafts from Harriet's side, she was momentarily stunned by the sketches. However, at that time, she had no intention of directly replacing her own products. It was only when Delbert repeatedly brought Harriet to the company, and Delbert always ignored her and looked at Harriet, that she couldn't help but start feeling jealous.She almost went crazy with jealousy. So, without much thought, she directly replaced their first batch's flagship items with Harriet's sketches, just to catch them off guard.

    Another 10 days had passed, and it had been a month since the contract signing deadline for Harriet and Sadie's bet. The data on Sadie's side continued to skyrocket, while there was no change in the data on Harriet's side. With only 10 days left until the official launch of the new collection, in such a short time, no matter how hard Harriet tried, Sadie believed she wouldn't be able to achieve anything remarkable. As Sadie calmly sipped her coffee, she suddenly noticed a slight movement in the data from Harriet's side! How could this be? Harriet hadn't even held a launch event for the new collection, so how could there be sales figures? Could it be that Harriet's team made the purchase by themselves? Thinking that, Sadie had a disdainful smile on her face. However, within seconds, her smile gradually stiffened. The sales figures on Harriet's side continued to rise, reaching one-fifth of her own sales figures after 10 minutes. How was this possible? Sadie immediat

    Those paid commenters were crazy. They left negative comments everywhere under various Twitter posts. Some casual fans were influenced by these paid comments and began echoing opinions that the brand wouldn’t hold its value. Harriet silently observed the crazy comments from the paid commenters, but her expression remained unchanged. "These paid comments are really annoying. Ms. Harriet, let's also spend money to hire another group of paid commenters to counter them," Carol said indignantly. "It’s not a good idea. Twitter is already chaotic enough. If we buy more paid commenters, it’ll only annoy the casual users who see it," Mia analyzed reasonably. "So, are we just going to sit back and do nothing?" "When something remains a hot topic for too long, it's not a good thing," Harriet said calmly. Internet users were just in it for the excitement. If a topic lingered on the same point for too long, they would lose interest. Harriet thought for a moment and finally said,
