Chapter 279
Emily’s gaze was drawn to Helen when she heard the question. “I heard you’re a journalist. Is that
correct?” she asked.“Yes, Lady Joshua,” Helen answered with a smile. “I’m so d to be able to meet
you here. I actually came here to check out the clothes with my cousin, but I heard what you said about
Ms. Vivian. I was just wondering if I could interview you and Ms. Vivian.”Emily nced at the
disgruntled Margaret before turning back to Helen with a solemn expression.“Sure, but we might have
to do this another time. I’m also here to look at the clothes, and I don’t have time to spare
today.”Nevertheless, Helen was satisfied with her response. “That’s great, Lady Joshua. I’ll make an
appointment with you as soon as possible.”Winnie was dumbfounded by the turn of events.She never
expected Emily to have such a reckless side.“Grandma, Helen is not an ordinary journalist. She once
exposed a scandal of the royal family. Because of that, the royal family’s international reputation
plummeted back then. You can’t make such a decision so hastily,” she whispered in Emily’s
ear.“Winnie”—Emily looked at Winnie calmly. It didn’t seem that she had agreed to the interview out of
impulse—“I know of Helen’s aplishments, and I’ve also heard of her name. However, I didn’t know
that your modesty would bring you such humiliation. Not only does this affect you, but it’s also a
disgrace to the entire Speiser family. I’m sure Ms. Margaret is not the first person to treat you like this. If
I just sit back and watch, I’m sure she won’t be thest one either. You didn’t escape from that horrible
couple from Chanaea and return to the Speiser family to receive this kind of treatment. I have to stand
up for you.”“But Grandma—” The truth was, Winnie had tons of ways to get back at Margaret. They
would not be as conspicuous, and they wouldn’t affect the Speiser family’s reputation either.Before
Winnie could say anything more, the staff members hurried over to them.They had run over after
hearing that there was a conflict in the showroom.“Lady Joshua, Ms. Margaret, how can we help
you?”“This is none of your business. It’s a private matter between me and Ms. Margaret, so we don’t
need any help for now,” Emily told the two staff members with a serious expression.Since she had put it
that way, the staff members had no choice but to stay quiet.Meanwhile, Margaret felt somehow
apprehensive. She looked at Emily nervously and questioned, “What else do you want to do? Haven’t
you finished what you wanted to say?”“Yes,” said Emily indifferently, “I’ve finished what I wanted to say,
but you still owe Vivian an apology. You humiliated her, so you must take responsibility for your
behavior and apologize.”“Why should I?” Margaret was unwilling to back down. “Just a moment ago, no
one knew whether she was really rted to the Speiser family by blood. I didn’t spread any false
rumors. I was merely telling the truth! Am I not allowed to do that? No matter what, I will not apologize
today since there is no need to! I don’t think I said anything inappropriate. Lady Joshua, I won’t
apologize even though you’re the one who asked me to do it!”“Ms. Margaret!”“Grandma…” Winnie
could not bear to make an elder get all riled up for her sake, and neither could she tolerate a young
woman yelling at her grandmother.Winnie stared at Margaret coldly with her intimidating dark eyes.
“Margaret Grayson, listen up. First of all, you weren’t telling the truth. You were clearly spreading
rumors. Just because you didn’t know my blood rtion to the Speiser family doesn’t mean you could
nder them. Who are you to say that I’m the hidden adopted daughter of the Speiser family? You
think they mistreated me? Moreover, you kept repeating that statement loudly in public. Isn’t that
considered nder?”She went on, “If you can’t apologize to me because of your pride, then I won’t
force you. I don’t care anyway. However, you must apologize to the entire Speiser family. And if you
refuse to do so, I will have no choice but to visit your family and ask for an exnation. I’m sure at least
someone from your huge family wille forward and apologize.”“What?” Margaret red at Winnie
incredulously. “You’re going to drag my family into such a trivial matter? Are you trying to embarrass me
on purpose? You want me to be punished by my family, don’t you?”Winnie raised her brows and
continued her speech from earlier. “Second, you yelled at my grandmother. I don’t think that’s very
polite. Please apologize to her.”Margaret argued, “I didn’t yell at her. This is just the way I talk. I was
born with a loud voice. You can’t even tolerate that? What a petty woman you are.”Her excuses were
so terrible that even Helen found them a bit uneptable.As the older cousin, Helen believed she had
the obligation to persuade the arrogant Margaret.After she coaxed Margaret for a while, thetter finally
gave in.“Fine!” Margaret took a deep breath. “It’s just an apology. I’ll do it.”“Okay.” Winnie took a step
back and stood beside Emily. “Please give my grandmother a sincere apology right now.”Margaret
lowered her head and began, “I’m sorry, Lady Joshua. I misspoke earlier, and my attitude wasn’t
exactly nice. I hope you can forgive me. Aside from that, I’d like to apologize to the entire Speiser
family. I shouldn’t have made those ims without even knowing the truth. Please forgive me.”Not
wanting to make things difficult for someone younger than her, Emily patted Margaret’s shoulder and
said, “It’s inevitable for you young people to be prideful. I ept your apology.”With that, Emily linked
arms with Winnie. “Let’s head to the third floor.”The VIP lounge of Champes was located there. Emily
could not wait to see the gown, for she was certain that Winnie would look gorgeous in it.Just then,
Margaret called out to them from behind, “Wait, I have one more question!”Winnie knitted her brows,
feeling impatient.On the other hand, Emily looked calm without any trace of annoyance on her
face.Helen couldn’t help breaking out in cold sweat when she heard Margaret. She’s so fearless, huh? I
can’t believe she dares to provoke the one and only duchess of Yartran. “Margaret, what are you up
to?” Helen asked in a low voice.Margaret huffed and tightened her fists. “I have to rify something
with them in person.”As she spoke, Winnie and Emily had turned back to them.“Is there anything else,
Ms. Margaret?” Winnie demanded with a frown.“Yes, there is.” Margaret nced at the two staff
members beside them and asked, “I have a question. Isn’t it stated in your rules that you only ept
one VIP guest every day? I remember that very clearly. I even received a call from you before I came
here today, confirming my time of arrival. I’m sure you can’t deny this fact, right?”The staff members
knew right away what Margaret was up to, but they could not lie. “Yes, that is true. We cannot deny
that.”“Very well!” Margaret raised her chin proudly. “Then I want you to exin something to me. You
already knew that I will be visiting today. Howe Lady Joshua and her granddaughter, Ms. Vivian,
were able to enter this ce at the same time as me? You clearly saw that Ms. Vivian didn’te here
just to visit the showroom. She was going to head to the third floor! Since when did you start
contradicting yourselves?”“Uh…” One of the staff members looked troubled. It was obvious that he
didn’t know how to deal with the situation.However, the other staff member immediately answered, “Ms.
Margaret, please let me exin. Your personal designer, Ms. Caroline, will be attending to you soon.
As for Lady Joshua, she will be received by Mr. V personally. Although you’re here at the same time,
you won’t be affecting each other in any way. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that Lady Joshua is our
VVIP guest. She is entitled to this privilege.”“What?” Margaret was stunned when she heard the words
“VVIP” and “Mr. V.” She ranted, “I have never heard that you have a VVIP tier here. Are you looking
down on me? Had you mentioned it to me before, I would have secured myself a slot.”“Ms. Margaret,
just because you’re not aware of it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Besides, the VVIP tier is not avable
to everybody. We hope you can understand.”“I don’t! Why should I understand? This is unfair. I’ve
waited for an entire year for this opportunity, and now, you’re telling me that someone else can cut in
line and even see the chief designer. This is uneptable!”Margaret’s outburst left the staff members
speechless. Yartran is a capitalist country, and this youngdy was born an elite. While she enjoyed the
convenience and privileges her status brought her, has she ever considered how unfair this is to
ordinary citizens? Lady Joshua is a duchess. What makes this youngdy think that they can be
compared to each other?“I don’t care!” Margaret was so irritated that she almost burst into tears. “I
want a reasonable exnation. Otherwise… Otherwise, Helen will expose this outrageous
situation!”This time, it was Helen’s turn to be stumped for words.“Margaret, this is how business works.
They didn’t break anyws or morals. Nothing will happen even if I expose them,” Helen advised
Margaret in a soft voice.“Fine. Just let me meet Mr. V, the man who owns half of Champes. I have to
ask him what I should do to be a VVIP member.”“But you don’t have an appointment with him,
Ms. Margaret,” the staff member reminded.“That’s because I didn’t know you have a VVIP tier! I would
have made a reservation early on if I had known!”“But bing a VVIP member is not as easy as you
think, Ms. Margaret.”“Then what am I supposed to do?” Margaret had always acted courteous
whenever she visited before, but on this day, she lost herposure out of her rage and
embarrassment. “Exin everything clearly all at once!”Feeling helpless, the staff member said, “I’m
sorry, Ms. Margaret. We’re not quite sure about it either.”Margaretughed out of exasperation upon
hearing that. “Are you kidding me? How could you tell me you’re not sure about it?”“That’s enough!”
Winnie could not stand it anymore. “Why are you giving the staff a hard time? Since you want to find
out so badly, I’ll tell you, then.”Margaret nced at Winnie and then at the staff member. “Howe
she knows something you don’t?”Winnie ignored Margaret and went on, “Champes only has one
lifetime VVIP member so far, and that is Lady Joshua. They won’t be epting anyone else.”“Why?
Why should I believe you?” Margaret screamed.Winnie scrunched up her eyebrows. She had wantedC0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.
to keep a low profile, but since Emily had spoken up for her earlier, she didn’t mind bringing attention to
herself once more.“Because I am the person who owns the other half of Champes. I was the one who
made this rule, and I have no intention to change it so far.”Margaret was dumbstruck. “What? What did
you say? How could you make such a ridiculous joke?”Even Emily found it unbelievable. “Winnie, is
this true?”“Of course, Grandma. Why would I announce it here if I’m lying? I’d be shooting myself in the
foot.”“What…” Clearly, the two staff members were unaware of this fact as well. Although they knew
they had two bosses, they had never seen the other one.Winnie didn’t want to keep anyone in
suspense, so she asked the staff to tell V toe down.In no time, V was seen running downstairs. He
was a few years older than Winnie, but he looked very youthful. Currently, he was the most talented
designer in Yartran.Upon seeing Winnie, he was ted. “Master, it’s been a while!” he eximed.His
words shocked everyone at the scene.“You call Winnie your master?” Emily asked in disbelief.“Yes, My
Lady. Vivian is my mentor. Haven’t you been curious as to why my nickname is V? It was actually
Vivian’s nickname before. She gave it to meter on.”Margaret widened her eyes in incredulity. The
prettiest wedding gown in the showroom was designed by V. It was the gown of her dreams, and she
never expected it to be Vivian’s work.Even V calls her his master. It seems that she’s telling the truth
about owning half of Champes. This is so damn embarrassing!While everyone else was shocked at the
plot twist, excitement was written all over Helen’s face.“Ms. Vivian, may I interview you?” she asked
with an eager look.“No!” At that moment, Wilhelm showed up and rejected Helen’s request without
hesitation.
