“She’s an heiress of the KS Group. Surely, she knows the rules of the


    trade.”


    “Duh, of course, she does. She’s probably trying to take advantage of


    the situation. Gee, the lengths businesswomen go to get a leg up in


    the industry. For all we know, she might have used underhanded


    methods to beat Mr. Salvador and gain Ada’s trust.”


    “Tsk, tsk. I was impressed with Ms. Thompson, but she turned out to be shameless and despicable.”


    Zoe smirked, knowing she had won this round. ‘You’re one cocky


    bitch, Be. I’ll show you your ce today. The best way to take you down a notch is to make people


    question your integrity.”


    Unbeknownst to Zoe, Justin, who camete, had witnessed


    everything she had said and done.


    The man hung back in the dark, staring indifferently at Zoe, who was pleased with herself.


    Standing tall in his tailored suit with fabric that draped smoothly


    across his toned chest, Justin scowled.


    “Mr. Salvador, that woman is picking on the young madam.”n was


    anxious to watch.


    Justin pursed his lips.


    He leaned in and paused.


    “Just wait.”


    “Still”n widened his eyes in confusion.


    “She’s Be Thompson, not a typical woman. She has her way of dealing with it.”


    Justin narrowed his eyes. Even he did not realize that his smile was


    tender and proud. “Even if she doesn’t, she has me.”


    held onto his chest.


    Justin added, “She was my woman. No one but me can pick on her.


    -No one.”


    Has the world turned upside down? Could this tender look on Mr.


    Salvador’s face melt the Antarctic iceberg? Sigh… It’s a shame that


    Young Madam could not witness it.”


    Public opinion was swaying on the other end of the room.


    Be’s choice of jewelry started a stir, as promoting another business during a brand event was


    disgraceful and against the rules.


    Hiding behind Zoe, Bethany took delight in Be’s unfortunate


    situation.


    Be observed with a calm expression as Zoe stirred the pot. Her unperturbed gaze did not sit well with


    Zoe.


    Zoe expected to see Be flustered, helpless, and embarrassed.


    She had a problem with that.


    “Miss.”


    Vincent, who had kept quiet thus far, said with a pretentious smile, “I see that you’re wearing AX’s


    Evesting Flower collection. It’s a


    limited edition with only ten of its kind.”


    “Yes, Mr. Anderson. I love AX’s jewelry pieces, and this is my favorite


    collection.”


    Zoe’s eyes lit up, and her heart raced as she managed to catch the


    eye of AX’s CEO.


    “Since you love the collection, you should know that the inspiration


    for AX’s Evesting Flower collection came from a talented jewelry designer, Alexa’s Rose of Desire.”


    Vincent cocked his head. A flicker of light dancing on Be’s left rose


    gold earring held his gaze.


    The look on Vincent’s face was too suggestive from Justin’s

    perspective.


    He pursed his discolored lips, unable to take the male attention Be


    received.


    “Ms. Thompson’s jewelry set is Alexa’s Rose of Desire. In other


    words, without the Rose of Desire, the popr Evesting Flower


    collection would’ve never existed.”
