With L’s birthday, Winston’s third wife, drawing near, Alyssa dedicated her nights to crafting a
present In her room. It was a ring of pure gold, iid with natural aquamarine and diamonds.
Craftsmanship-wise, this was a piece of cake. Only the aquamarine heightened the cost of the ring. It
was a true blue, straight-from-the-mine crystal that was still attached to its host rock when she got it.
Alyssa was always thorough and devoted when it came to the gifts she prepared for her loved ones.
She used to be the same toward Jasper, too. Sadly, he never appreciated it.
Just then, a video call request appeared on her phone. It was Sliva Nunez, her assistant from her
jewelry design firm.
“There are very few reasons why you would call me at this hour,” Alyssa said while polishing the
crystal.
Dow
you remember Tyson Nn?” Sliva asked.
“Yeah. Why? He apprenticed under me for three years before starting a jewelry line of his own. He’s a
pretty gifted student.”
“You won’t believe what happened. Someone contacted him asking to make a mimic of your jewelry
design a couple of days ago.
From N?velDrama.Org.
“Isn’t that outrageous? You might want to consider showing yourself in public again, Alexa, before
counterfeits start filling the market!”
Alyssaughed leisurely. “No reason to get worked up. It shows how irreceable I am. They couldn’t
find
me, so they had to counterfeit my work to satisfy their egos. No one else’s work sufficed.”
“Tyson came to tell me this first thing after he failed to get in touch with you. He doesn’t want to take
the
job at all, saying it was an insult to your name, craft, and his loyalty to you, his teacher!”
Alyssa was impressed.
Alyssa asked curiously, “Who
is this person who’smissioning the fake if you don’t mind me asking?
They must be truly influential to be able to find my disciple.
“I’m not sure how they got to know him, but he says they’re a Cyrrian from Sna City. A woman. The
rich
heiress kind, with thest name Harper.
Alyssa was caught off guard.
“Oh, she’s also that pianist, Christina Hammond’s student,” Sliva added.
Alyssa smirked when she realized what was going on.
As they continued to push the boundaries of her tolerance, Alyssa had no reservations about not
holding back.
“Tell Tyler to proceed with themission, Sliva. He has my permission,” Alyssa said slyly
“What? Why?”
“Tell him to give it his all, and don’t make me look bad.”
Five dayster, Jasper received word of rming news after his staff meeting.
Ada Kingsley bod
Ada Kingsley had agreed to work with Berenike Hotel.
“What is this?” Jasper asked sternly as he gazed out of his office windows.
Xavier said, “I heard Ms. Betty got her hands on one of Alexa’s designs and gave it to Ada. That’s why
she has agreed to work with us!”
Jasper sneered. “It’s definitely a counterfeit.”
“That… I can’t be so sure. Shouldn’t Ms. Kingsley be able to identify a genuine product from a fake
one? Xavier felt dejected.
He went on, saying. “If they sign the contract, the hotel will fall into Betty and that witch’s clutches.
What if they exploit the situation and begin to oppress us?”
“Alyssa should have heard the news by now,” Jasper murmured to himself.
Betty was a far more taxing opponent than Alyssa was. But that was the least of his concerns right
now.
Xavier sighed. “Madam hasn’t been taking much action these days. She might have given up for all we
know.”
“Give up? Like hell, Jasper said slowly. “Alyssa would never give up so easily. She’s very likely biding
her
time right now. I’m sure she’s already plotting her next move if she hasn’t already.”
Betty Beckett’s intelligence paled inparison to his beloved wife’s.
As soon as he thought that, he realized his mistake. She was now his ex-wife.
Jasper winced as his heart ached.
