Everybody’s jaw dropped.
Zoe and Bethany were not the only ones shocked. As Vincent’s friend and Alexa’s die-hard fan, Ada
had no idea.
Ada could not believe that Be’s jewelry set was Alexa’s
masterpiece. She had heard about the “Rose of Desire” but had never
seen it.
For once, Ada envied the rich.
Be sneaked Vincent a grateful look.
She knew she did not have to exin herself because Vincent would
sort out those troublemakers at his show.
There was no need to waste time on unimportant people.
Justin’s eyes never strayed away from Be. He was fuming.
He was certain that Be knew the man, and they were close.
“Who is that old man?” Justin asked in a chilling voice.
“Vincent Anderson is the CEO of AX. His grandfather was thest
Duke of Inalia, and his grandmother was the founder of AX. His
family owns the brand, so that’s why he’s the CEO.
family bestowed him with a huge estate. That’s not the only thing. He
is one of the top five richest men in Inalia. His worth is tens of
billions of dors. The young madam is awesome. I can’t believe she
has royal friends!”
Justin breathed heavily and swallowed hard. He clutched his fingers.
resentfully.
“Wow, Mr. Anderson just stood up for the young madam. Don’t tell

me he fancies her!”
Hit by a realization,n eximed, “If Mr. Anderson is interested in the young madam, she will have
hope of bing a duchess. She’s a wealthy heiress. If she marries royalty… OMG! The young
madam. will be living the life of every woman’s dreams!”
“That’s never going to happen. Vincent is old enough to be her father.. She won’t fancy him,” Justin
responded solemnly.
A fan of gossip,n could not stop yapping. “Well, you can’t say for certain. The young madam might
prefer mature men. Otherwise she wouldn’t have fallen for you. You’re six years older than her.”
Justin shotn a menacing look.
Six years and twenty-odd years were a huge difference.
Breaking out in a cold sweat,n pinched his lips together and made.
a gesture to zip them. He lookedical and pitiful.
His banter got to Justin’s head.
Justin no longer resented her for lying to him again and again.
He started to whine about the outstanding men around her. He was
pushed to the back of the line.
“OMG! The CEO of an international luxury jewelry brand just publicly
admitted using Alexa’s pieces as a reference. This is an
embarrassment to hispany.”
“I don’t think so. I think Mr. Anderson is forthright. Besides, he wasn’t using Alexa’s work for reference.
He said he drew inspiration from
Alexa’s creation.”
“We did take elements from Alexa’s designs.”
Amid the press’ chatter, Vincent admitted, “Ms. Alexa is well aware of
1. We talked in private, and Ms. Alexa permitted us to apply the elements in the Evesting Flower
collection. She has also. participated in the design.”
Everybody gasped in awe.
Zoe’s smug face stiffened,
“So I’m d Ms. Thompson wore Alexa’s pieces to attend AX’s event.” Vincent nced at Be before
looking away.
“There’s one more thing you aren’t aware of, Ms. Hoffman.” Be chuckled and continued, “AX and
Alexa have been close partners for many years. There is one rule the VIP members of AX Jewelry
know
1.
“They are free to wear Alexa’s jewelry pieces to AX’s events and will be seated in the VVIP section. If
that isn’t enough, AX offers free
lifetime maintenance and care for customers who own Alexa’s
jewelry pieces. You’re a fan of AX jewelry. Howe you didn’t
know?”
Zoe turned pale. She was speechless.
Although she owned many of AX’s jewelry pieces, the membership
threshold was set too high. Not only did it require a significant
amount of spending history, but there was a strict assessment of the
either member’s wealth and background. Zoe did not pass
requirement despite being Ryan’s sister.
Hence, she did not know about the rule.
