We could only hire more as time went on.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    In the afternoon, while I was focused on designing new spring collections, I heard voices arguing outside. One of them was unmistakably familiar, and the other wasn''tpletely unknown either.


    I just opened the door and was about to step out when I heard Jane say, "Don''t you understand? I said we won''t do business with you! Designing clothes for you would dirty Charlotte''s hands!" "Humph!" The response was a cold and arrogant snort, as expected from Bethany. "Then let me make it clear. Whether you want to or not, you will do it."


    Only Bethany would be so domineering.


    "I''m won''t ept orders from you. What are you going to do about it?"


    Jane wasn''t intimidated, spreading her hands, "Or you can call the police. Oh right, you''ll need to call the dog catchers, not 110, to avoid wasting police resources." She never lost in the art of insulting.


    Bethany was furious as she gritted her teeth. "Are you sure you won''t ept my order? Fine, I''ll make sure you go out of business today, on your opening day..." "We''ll ept the order!" I stepped out.


    Her insistence on forcing me to make this engagement dress was nothing more than an attempt to make me give up on Ryan and humiliate me in the process. But I had already let go.


    The endless disappointment and frustration from before were only because I once thought he was the light in my darkness.


    Now, I knew he was not.


    As long as Bethany was willing to pay, why should I turn down money?


    Moreover, as she said, if she insisted on opposing me, it would be difficult for the Charlotte Jewelry to survive. The RF Group was unlikely to offend established domestic families for apany as insignificant


    as ours.


    Bethany, dressed in thetest limited edition outfit, smirked and nced at me, "You have some sense. Your friend isn''t quite as capable; without you, she''s just a pushover!"


    Ismiled slightly. "She just hasn''t learned ''dognguage so she''s not good at dealing with people like you."


    Bethany paused for a moment before realizing I was following Jane''s lead, calling her a dog.


    She closed her eyes and snorted with a hint of sarcasticughter. "People like you, who can only serve me for a lifetime, can only findfort in your words!


    I clenched my fists.


    I had to admit, life was not just about luck at birth but also about meeting the right people.


    Although her birth was unfortunate, she encountered the Shaw family, a household whose ancestral umtion surpassed anything anyone else could achieve. That was her skill.


    I didn''t invite her into the office and sat down in the public area. "So, what style of dress are you looking


    for?"


    "I''ll tell you that my requirements are not so easy to meet. Also, you must attend the engagement banquet with Ryan, ensuring that my dress is perfect at all times..."


    As she spoke, her phone rang. She answered it with a hint of grievance, "Mom, you''re downstairs? I''m already at this crappypany. You have no idea how mean Charlotte is. She ever cursed me with her friend!"


    Jane and I exchanged a look of exasperation.


    Jane gritted her teeth. "Why did you take her order?"


    "To ensure that our hard work during this time wasn''t in vain and to keep the Charlotte Jewelry alive."


    I shrugged resignedly. "It''s fine. Once she gets this engagement settled, she should stop bothering us."
