Chapter 51


    Chapter 51 Fragility


    “Opulence Financial is under you, isn’t it?” Jean Eyer raised her head defiantly and boldly used


    Edgar Royden. She had had her suspicions since overhearing Edgar on the phone in the hotel room.


    Why would the whole Eyer’s family debt be managed by one singlepany? Also, how was she able


    to enter MON & Co. as an intern; besides Edgar having a hand in it, it wouldn’t make any sense.


    Edgar looked at her pale face, not acknowledging nor denying it. “I don’t know what kind of games


    you’re ying, but trust me, I will pay you back in full!”


    Edgar clenched his fist and coldly retorted, “You’ve got years in interest to pay off that debt. You’ll


    forever have to live in the dark and will never be able to get out of it.”


    “So, this shall be my grave?” Jean bit her lip and continued to challenge Edgar, “I don’t believe in that


    fate; I will get out, and I will climb above you!”


    “Alright… try then.”


    In the midst of their heated argument, a few police officers arrived on their floor. Looking at the man


    holding the woman to the wall, they immediately rushed toward them.


    “We’re the police! Sir, please step away from thedy!”


    Edgar let out a shaken breath but released his hold on Jean and let the police search him. After making


    sure he had no dangerous objects on him, they asked, “Who called the police?”


    “It was me.” Jean’s voice was hoarse, and her throat hurt from being held by Edgar, “He entered my


    house without permission. Please take him away!”


    At the police station, Miles had just finished dealing with Edgar’s release papers.


    “She’s too good, sir. She’s the first person to send you to a police station!”


    A cold breeze blew past, and the man with a stoic face brushed against his shoulder as he walked


    toward the car outside.


    …


    Jean was leaning against the wall when she heard the sound of heels clicking. She immediately


    opened her eyes and nced at the watch to realize that it was already morning.


    “You cleaned up not bad. But, how about you go wash your face first?” Monica Weller suggested as


    she chewed on a piece of gum.


    As she headed to wash up, Jean thought about the events that transpiredst night. She yawned and


    continued to wash her face. Monica gave her a towel as she left the washroom and left to start on her


    designs, not even asking Jean about what happenedst night. Jean let out a sigh of relief and stood to


    the side quietly, not bothering Monica. After a moment, Monica spoke up.


    “What are you doing standing around? Don’t you know how to design?”


    “No… that’s not it.”


    Jean had studied jewelry design in school, but she did not suit Monica’s style of working. At this


    moment, Monica was half kneeling on the floor and was using paint to draw on the floor. Jean had


    spent most ofst night working to get paint off the floors, and now it had turned into a mess again.


    However, when Jean looked at the drawing carefully, she was shocked by what was before her eyes.


    The chain of the ne split into three and wrapped around the amethyst, giving it a seductive


    charm.


    Wow, I didn’t know drawings could have such texture!


    Jean’s eyes twinkled with delight. I definitely chose the right person to follow!


    “This is a spare key;e practice when you have time in preparation for next month’spetition.”


    Monica frowned and thought for a bit before saying, “If you get first ce, you might be able to sign a


    full-time contract with thepany.”


    Jean’s eyes shimmered with ambition, “I will try my best.”


    “Yeah, I can see it, I know you will try your best.”


    Half an hourter, Monica dropped Jean off at the front MON & Co. and told her, “Do well, call me if


    anything happens.” After saying that, she put on her sunsses and left.


    Jean turned around and entered MON & Co. To a side, Monica pressed on her Bluetooth earphone and


    connected to a call, “Miles, please tell Mr. Royden that his wife isfortable in MON & Co. and that


    he can rx.”


    …


    Jean found a seat by the window. Not long after, she heard some interns gathered together boasting


    about the designer they were following and how much they learned from them.


    Jean waszing around when she heard someone beside her, “Jean, what a coincidence, are you here


    to intern too?”


    Jean raised her head and realized it was the girl that was with Ben the other day.


    Ally Sans was pretty and dainty and had a good figure. She looked good with Ben.


    “Jean, you’re interning under Ms. Weller, right?” She asked again, seemingly raising her voice a bit


    more.


    Jean just gave a short hmm of acknowledgement.


    “Then, has she brought you to those ces?” Ally asked with her eyes glistening with pretend


    innocence.


    Hearing this, everyone around them quieted down and looked at Jean.


    Jean cocked an eyebrow and asked, “What ces?”


    “I heard she used to go to Luminance Vi with some higher ups, and would even stay overnight.


    Otherwise, how would she get to be MON & Co.’s chief designer at such a young age?” Ally said with


    her eyes narrowed.


    “But I know, Jean, you’re not that kind of person. You wouldn’t go around with people like her.”


    Ah.


    Jean looked at the people surrounding them. It was clear what they were thinking.


    “Ally,e over here, don’t sit with her, she’ll lead you astray!”


    “Yeah,e sit with us.”


    Jean squinted her eyes.


    Yup, something is definitely on.


    Some other people called for Ally to go over while looking at Jean with contempt.


    “I don’t know what you mean, but I did go to Luminance Vist night. Is there anything wrong with


    that?” Jean gave a slight smile, her eyes bright and clear. Her bold acknowledgement rendered the


    people there speechless.


    Ally swallowed her retorts, as she did not expect Jean to react this way.


    The crowd approached to take Ally away, all the while ring at Jean.


    “She’s never been to that dirty ce! Don’t think other people are like you! Disgusting!”


    “Dirty ce?”

    Jean cocked her head to a side and looked at them, “I was wearing this when I wentst night. It


    should still have the scent of the alcohol from Luminance Vi. Since you guys have smelt it, does it


    mean you’re dirty too?”


    Thedies in the group stared at Jean, aghast, “You’re so shameless! It’s no wonder Edgar would


    rather marry an actress than you.”


    “And who told you that? Did Edgar Royden tell you directly?” Jean’s line of sight went pass them to the


    quiet instigator.


    Ally felt Jean’s gaze on her and she quickly tried to defuse the situation, “That’s enough, Jean’s a friend


    of a friend, she wouldn’t do those kind of things…”


    Ally deliberately gave a vaguement as she wanted to make Jean the target.


    Jeanughed at theirments and provoked them even more, “So, does going to Luminance Vi


    make you dirty? A lot of your parents do business, right? You don’t think they’ve been to Luminance


    Vi?”


    Hearing those words, the crowd could not say anything to retort her.


    Ally realized that the situation was not going the way she wanted and sheepishly said, “Alright, let’s not


    quarrel anymore. Jean says nothing happened, so nothing must have happened. The meeting is about


    to start.”


    Jean’s smile deepened.


    Ben’s mother did not approve of me, but found this sneaky snake for Ben.
