Chapter 196
Evadne didn’t show up at the fashion event today to brag about her wealth and status, but to take care of a couple of important things.
First, she had to face the media and seriously respond to the rumors about her cutting off the Abernathy Group, eliminating unnecessary speculation and
chatter.
Second, she publicly gave a gift to Ada, which was actually a chance to keep an eye on Glynnis and make sure she had control over the situation. She couldn’t afford to give Glynnis, who had bad intentions, an opportunity.
Just then, Ada and a middle–aged man in a tailored brown suit, with an extraordinary demeanor, walked over.
“Ms. Evadne, let me introduce you,” Ada hurriedly introduced, “This is Mr. Alvin, the global president of Aurora Adornments, and a dear friend of mine. Alvin, this is Ms. Evadne, the general manager of K World Hotel. She’s quite a talented lady!”
Alvin was born and raised in Aetheria, he had golden hair, deep blue eyes, and royal blood.
“Mr. Alvin, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Welcome to Elmsworth, Evadne slightly lifted her bright red lips, grinned, and extended her clean and beautiful hand.
“It’s nice to meet you, Ms. Evadne. It’s our honor to have you at our show,” Alvin replied a bit awkwardly and shook hands with her. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Ada glanced at Alvin, then at Evadne, feeling the atmosphere a bit off.
They should be meeting for the first time, right? Why did it feel like Alvin and Evadne knew each other before?
The reporters were all stunned!
Mr. Alvin was of noble status. He had royal blood and always appeared aloof. But when he saw Evadne, he showed a gentle smile, as if they were close, friends.
Ms. Evadne was indeed no ordinary woman. She was so beautiful and elegant. It was only natural for men to like her, right?
“Ms. Evadne, what a coincidence to see you here,” Edith, in her gorgeous trailing gown, gracefully walked over to Evadne.
Her big eyes were like crystals, and her cheeks had two deep dimples. She looked like an innocent, naive angel when she smiled.
Evadne’s eyes squinted slightly, her icy gaze silently swept over Edith.
The next second, Evadne completely ignored Edith and instead smiled and said to Alvin and Ada, “Let’s chat over there.”
Edith was ruthlessly ignored and she was so angry that her eyes turned red and her body started shaking.
Her brother was Jareth! How dared Evadne treat her so lightly?
Alvin and Ada had the same intention. Just as they were about to leave, Edith suddenly sneered, “Ms. Evadne, the jewelry you’re wearing today is really nice. The combination of pigeon blood rubies and rose gold doesn’t feel cliched at all. I was attracted by your jewelry from afar.”
Then everyone’s eyes fell on Evadne.
Evadne remained calm and cool, and gave a light smile, “Thank you for the compliment.”
“But the jewelry you’re wearing doesn’t seem to be from Aurora Adornments, right?” Edith looked cold and directly pointed out the fact.
Everyone took a closer look and found out it was true!
The jewelry Ms. Evadne was wearing was beautiful, but anyone with a little knowledge of jewelry could tell at a glance that it was not a piece of Aurora Adornments.
This act was undoubtedly a serious offense to the brand, especially in front of the president of Aurora Adornments, Alvin!
“Today is Aurora Adornments‘ big show, but you wore jewelry from another brand. That seems a bit inappropriate.”
Edith lifted her chin slightly, her eyes full of mockery, “For someone like you, it shouldn’t be difficult to respect the brand. After all, you are here to attend their show. Or, is the jewelry you’re wearing from your own brand? Trying to take advantage of Aurora Adornments big show to promote your own goods? Wow, it’s no wonder you’re a tough woman who beat Mr. Thaddeus. You really know how to do business and market!”
Edith’s series of sarcastic remarks left people speechless.
Reporters began to whisper, casting doubtful glances at Evadne.
“As the leader of the K Group, she should know this rule, right?”
“She must know! She’s probably trying to take advantage of this on purpose. Ah, these business women’s tactics are a bit too vulgar. Did she use some disgraceful means to beat Mr. Thaddeus last time and earn Ada’s trust?”
“I used to admire Ms. Evadne, but now she seems a bit shameless.”
Edith had a victorious smile on her face, feeling like she had just won a battle!
Evadne was too arrogant!
Today she would expose Evadne’s true colors and must extinguish her arrogant attitude. The best way was to question her character!
And what Edith didn’t know was everything she just said and did was seen by Thaddeus, who had just arrived!
The man always stood in the dark, quietly staring at the triumphant Edith.
He was tall, handsome, and godlike. His body was wrapped in a suit, and he looked strong and hard, with a deep face.
“Mr. Thaddeus, Mrs. Abernathy is being bullied by that girl!” Gordon saw this and was very anxious.
Thaddeus pursed his lips.
He leaned forward, his gaze suddenly deep, but then he stopped.
“Wait.”
“Wait?” Gordon widened his eyes, somewhat puzzled.
“She is not an ordinary woman, she is Evadne. She always has a way.”
Thaddeus’s eyes squinted slightly. The corner of his mouth hooked up a gentle smile, and he didn’t even realize it, “Even if she doesn’t have a way, she still
has me.”
Gordon froze, staring at Thaddeus‘ cold and superior profile in disbelief. His eyes widened, and hand clutched his trembling chest.
“Anyway, she was once my wife. No one else has the right to mess with her.”
Was this the cold–hearted CEO he knew?
Even the icebergs in the Antarctic might melt with that look!
What a pity that Ms. Evadne didn’t see it.
Then, the wind changed.
Evadne caused controversy for wearing the wrong jewelry. After all, leveraging a brand’s fame was disgraceful and against the rules.
Glynnis, hiding behind Edith, was already gloating.
Evadne calmly watched Edith stirring up trouble.
Evadne’s coolness made Edith uncomfortable. The fear and helplessness she expected to see never showed up!
How annoying!
“Miss,” the always silent Alvin spoke up at this moment, “I noticed that you are wearing the ‘Preserved Flower‘ series from Aurora Adornments, which is limited to ten sets worldwide.”
“Yes, Mr. Alvin, I really love Aurora Adornments‘ jewelry, especially this series!”
Edith’s eyes lit up, and her heartbeat quickened as she realized she had caught the attention of the CEO of Aurora Adornments.
“If you really like this series as you say, then you should know that the design inspiration for the ‘Preserved Flower‘ jewelry series actually comes from the ‘Everose‘ by the genius international jewelry designer Alea.”
After saying this, Alvin glanced sideways at the golden rose swaying on Evadne’s ear.
From Thaddeus‘ point of view, this look was somewhat ambiguous.
His thin lips were tightly pressed, and he felt very uncomfortable seeing Evadne being looked at this way by another man.
“The jewelry that Ms. Evadne is wearing today is the ‘Everose‘ designed by Alea. That is to say, without the ‘Everose‘, there would be no ‘Preserved Flower‘ that everyone loves today.”
Everybody got a shock!
