Chapter 82


    Chapter 82 Aren’t You Preparing A Gift?


    Susan smiled and said, “Your design is not bad.”


    Since Abigail would not listen to her actual criticism, there was no need for her to say anything


    truthfully. Abigail was actually skilled in fashion design to a certain extent. A few of her standard


    designs were not bad. Unfortunately, she was not the kind that would ept criticism. She was too full


    of herself.


    Changing the topic, Susan smiled and said, “La, shall we eat hotpot or steakter?”


    “Let’s eat steak,” La said with a smile. “Not only are weing to learn from you but also


    freeloading. I hope you don’t mind.”


    Abigail’s design received good feedback and that made La feel a little better. She could take the


    chance at lunch to assess Abigail’s dining etiquette.


    Abigail’s performance up till that point had not been bad.


    “La, you’re being too polite. If you had more free time, I could only wish for you to eat and drink at


    my ce every day.” Susan smiled and called the helpers to prepare steak.


    She returned to the sofa and sat down. Susan stopped talking about design and talked to La about


    other things.


    They chatted pleasantly about lipsticks and new limited-edition bags until lunch was served.


    Abigail’s etiquette during lunch was very on point.


    She then took the initiative to speak to Susan again. “Aunt Susan, I have another idea. After adding


    flounces to the strapless princess dress, I want to embed pearls on the edge of the dress. What do you


    think of my idea?”


    “It would make a good singr piece of dress,” Susan said tactfully.


    It would not a big problem to make it into a single item for collection or wearing out from time to time.


    Being a little quirky asionally would not draw anyments from others.


    But mass producing it would cause a huge loss for thepany.


    Abigail’s design for regr pieces was not bad. But when it came to evening gowns, she always


    wanted to integrate all kinds of elements, so they looked awkward and odd.


    “Do you think the sales will be good if it is mass-produced?” Abigail asked. She further added, “I think


    the sales will definitely be good. We won’t target the lower ss for such a high-end product. We will


    target socialites in Jadeborough. They can ept a higher price for this kind of dress. If we customize


    100 pieces and sell them at 150 thousand dors per piece, we can profit 10 million.”


    Susan remained silent.


    She suddenly lost her appetite for the steak.


    Where did Abigail get the courage to set the price at 150 thousand dors per piece?


    Forget it, forget it. The young ones always tended to be outrageous. She would soon learn the brutal


    reality of society.


    Susan smiled tactfully and said, “Abigail, don’t produce so much. Almost all the socialites in


    Jadeborough have fixed stylists. Their styling studios have fixed clothing brands that they cooperate


    with.”


    La said to Abigail, “Abigail, you don’t need to think about the production phase. You just need to


    work on the design. Learn more from Susan.”


    They had more designers on their side than Julian and had already prepared many products for the


    winter showcase that were definitely going to go viral.


    The designs were chosen by Susan personally, and she even kindly provided them with two designs.


    Therefore, Alexander would receive a lot of support on the showcase that Friday.


    She brought Abigail to visit Susan mainly to see if Abigail had any talent in fashion design.


    Since Abigail had talent, there was no need to hurry. She would save Abigail to p Annalise and


    Julian in the face in the future.


    “Okay, Mom,” Abigail replied obediently.


    After dinner, they chatted for a while before bidding farewell to Susan.

    La’s expression instantly turned the moment they left Susan’s vi. She looked at Abigail unhappily.


    Abigail was shocked. “Mom, what’s wrong?”


    “Do you think you’re very smart?” La retorted.


    Abigail did not know what to reply.


    “What does she mean?” Abigail thought.


    Wasn’t everything fine just now? Why did her expression suddenly change? Was menopause hitting


    in?


    La retorted, “You are also a fashion designer, so you should know Susan’s status in the fashion


    industry. Do you think it is appropriate for you to boast about yourself in front of her, showing off in front


    of an expert? Did your parents not teach you about humility?”


    Abigail was furious. Yet, La was Alexander’s mother, so she could not afford to offend La. Abigail


    could only exin, “Mom, it is not that. I was not boasting or disrespecting Aunt Susan. I want Auntie


    Susan to see that I’m confident in my work. You know that in this society, others will look down on you if


    you are too humble.”


    La frowned. “You’re quite witty.”


    “Mom, I also hope to get Auntie Susan’s approval. I want to improve so that I can help Alexander more


    in the future. Abigail said ingratiatingly.


    Upon hearing that, La’s expression improved a little. She then instructed, “In the future, don’t act


    smart. Be humble when it’s time to be humble, especially in front of Susan. Ask Susan for guidance on


    fashion design.”


    *Okay, Mom, I will,” Abigail said obediently while cursing in her heart.


    Seeing that Abigail was obedient, La’s expression improved a little. She said, “You’re a student at


    the Medical University. Master Quigley’s eldest disciple, Jonathan Woods, is returning to the country. If


    you can be his disciple, it will be very helpful for your career.”


    She was thinking that if Abigail could be Jonathan Woods’ disciple, they would have more


    resources in the medical world.


    With Master Quigley’s connections and the Parks Group’s reputation, who would look down on them?


    “Mom, I’ll work hard. I’ve already asked a friend to find out about Jonathan Woods’ situation. I heard


    that he’ll be back soon.” Abigail said.


    “Okay,” La replied.


    Just then, Abigail’s phone rang.


    It was her friend from the Medical University.


    She immediately picked up the phone. The other party told her that Jonathan Woods’ would return to


    the country in three days. He had also gotten his hands on the flight information and would send it to


    Abigail in a


    moment.


    “Alright, thank you so much. I’ll treat you to a meal when I get back to Horington!” Abigail thanked him.


    warmly.


    After hanging up, she received Jonathan’s flight information.


    She immediately took out her phone and showed it to La. “Mom, my friend found out about


    Jonathan’s flight. I will pick him up with Alexander. I hope everything will go smoothly.”


    “Okay.” Seeing that Abigail would take the initiative, La’s mood improved a little.


    At that moment, Jonathan Woods was sleeping on the ne.


    He sprawled out and sleptfortably.


    The book that he was reading andter used to cover his face with also slipped off.


    He was under the aliasn Lawrence, using his brother-inw’s identity card.


    His brother-inw took his identity card and would return to the country in three days.


    He did not want to deal with the people from various Jadeborough families. In any case, he would hide


    for as


    long as he could and only consider a new n when he could no longer hide.


    Four in the afternoon.


    Julian urged Annalise to set off. “Annie, are you done? We have to go pick him up.”


    Annalise smiled. “He is only arriving at six.”


    “Let’s go there a little earlier.” Julian looked at Annalise’s empty hand in surprise. “Aren’t you preparing


    a gift for John?”
