A Ruined Face  I saw Jared striding in and looking at  Ivanna, "Found something you  like?"  Ivanna hastily waved. "No, nothing at all."  Jared nced at As and said coolly, "It seems like your design team needs some improvement, Mr. As."  As gave Megan a cold look and said, "Ms. Megan..."  Megan immediately presented the Ocean Star to Jared, "Sir, this youngdy is interested in this designed piece, the Ocean Star." Ivanna quickly stepped forward, "Hey.


    Little girl, your boss just fired a manager. Do you want to follow in


    their footsteps?"  "Sorry. I am rmending our best jewelry to promote sales, not giving them away like the previous manager.


    Sautoir Fine Jewelry belongs to all the employees here. I have a responsibility and obligation to share them with every customer worthy of having them."  "Oh my. You''re really good with your words" Ivanna looked at Megan and then said to As, "Mr. As, your woman is truly discerning. She just pulled out such a gem for you, but I''m getting attacked now.” €  Ivanna''s words were truly diplomatic, praising both me and Megan.


    As pulled me over, "Of course, how could my woman be any less of that?”


    Ivanna rolled her eyes, nced at Jared, sarcastically remarking, "Stop being lovey-dovey here. I just recovered from an illness, and I don’t want to puke again from seeing certain things.”  Suddenly, everyone in the store had a stifled smile, sneakily looking at us, still eager for some gossip.


    Jared nced at the bracelet on the tray held by Megan and said to her, "T''11 take it."  Ivanna hurriedly stepped forward, "Hey, I didn''t say I wanted it. I just wanted to appreciate its beauty. Why are you paying for it?"  "We''ll appreciate it at home." Jared said calmly.


    "Then... from now on, I''ll just pick


    whatever I like, and you''ll pay? What, you wanna unt your wealth, or is there nowhere else you can spend it?” Ivanna retorted at Jared.


    "Both." Jared replied nonchntly.


    Just then, As''s phone rang. He nced at it and answered. His face immediately turned cold. "Investigate TCH I looked at him, and he whispered in my ear, "Harmony is in trouble.” "What?" I was taken aback. "I saw her when Ivanna and I came in." "Tt seems like someone is trying to shift the me," As said, casting a nce at Jared. "Someone associated with you." jared finished paying, and we hurriedly


    left.


    Soon, we arrived at Vanderberg Pce, | where Jared asked us to dineina private room while he and As went to his regr room upstairs to meet someone.


    I understood that As indeed had some connection with Jared, and their rtionship seemed to be quite extraordinary.


    While eating, Ivanna scrolled through the trending topics on her phone.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Suddenly, she looked up at me.


    "Harmony’s face has been disfigured.


    And it seems like all signs point to you."  "Me? Trouble really just lovesing to me.” I felt exasperated. "Why does everything seem to be connected to me? Do they really think I''m a warrior


    or something?" Ivanna handed me the phone. I took it and saw a post saying that Harmony had undergone stic surgery, making her appearance closer to that of a certain female businesswoman. Upon returning to her apartment after shopping, she was ruthlessly disfigured, presumably as an act of retaliation.


    "Ah, turns out this is the story. It’s no wonder everyone thinks it''s me. But what was her initial intention? What does she want to achieve?" Ilooked at Ivanna and handed her back the phone.


    "It seems this idiot was manipted by someone." Ivanna said to me with a serious expression.


    "These people just don''t seem to want


    to settle down." I shook my head disdainfully. "They keep stirring up trouble. They''re quite dedicated, but this time, it seems they''ve  miscalcted again."  “Why do you say that?” Ivanna asked me.
