H Chapter 535


    Blood was flowing down Maxwell’s shoulder, quickly staining his clothes red. He gritted his teeth and


    red at Xavier. “Okay, you just wait! You refuse to pay the opening fee, I’ll make sure you’ll open


    without doing any business!”


    Zachary sneered, “Who are you trying to scare?”


    He waved the kitchen knife in his hand, causing Maxwell and his gang to involuntarily step back. They


    angrily threatened a few more times before finally running away.


    Zachary cursed, “Thought they were tough, turns out they’re just a bunch of scaredy-cats!”


    Damianughed, “No matter how tough they are, they’ll still be scared to death when they meet our


    boss!”


    Xavier put the fallen chair back in ce and smiled, “Alright, wipe up the blood on the floor and clean


    up. It’s time to eat!”


    Damian and the others picked up the table and put it back in its original ce. “Boss, I’ve been asking


    around these days, and he has been here for years, bullying the merchants around, especially the


    neers. If they don’t give him money, they’ll be constantly harassed…”


    Zachary sat down in his chair, “Isn’t anyone going to intervene?”


    Damian replied, “I heard he has connections with the officials!”


    Xavier lit a cigarette, “I don’t care about others, if he wants to bully me, let’s see if he has the guts!”


    Damian said worriedly. Tm not afraid of anything else, but I’m afraid they’lle to cause trouble on


    our opening day. We don’t have any background here and we’re not familiar with this ce. If they


    toe!”


    Zachary snorted, “Beat them up one by one!”


    Xavier remained calm, “No need to worry about that, if that’s the case, we might as well not open the


    store! Haven’t we encountered enough trouble over the years? Let’s just open the store first!”


    Damian nodded, “Yeah, I’ll ask around more in the next few days, so we can be prepared and know


    what to look out for.”


    “Okay!” Xavier patted Damian’s shoulder, “just be careful!*


    Snowy Studios


    Hannah gave everyone a week to design six sets of clothes, so Miya and the others put their other


    work on hold and focused on designing dresses


    Miya saw Alice as her biggestpetitor, while Jessica and Carme were secretlypeting too.


    No one paid attention to Inman and Estelle, probably because they had already determined that neither


    of them would be chosen. In thete afternoon on Wednesday, Estelle received a call from Amiee


    when she got off work. Amiee said, “Estelle, I have some problems with the software that I need you to


    help me with. Where are you? I’lle to find you!”


    Estelle had just left the office building. “I’lle to find you, are you at the dessert store?”


    Amiee replied, “No, I didn’t go to work in the afternoon, I’m at home.”


    Estelle asked, “Can Ie over to your ce?”


    “Sure, I’ll send you the address!”


    Estelle hung up the phone and she soon received a message from Amiee with her address.


    Amiee’s ce was not too far from the studio, so Estelle took a cab there.


    Fifteen minutester, Estelle arrived at Amiee’s building. As she was escorted by the security at the


    front desk, Amiee had called ahead, so the staff took Estelle into the elevator and pressed the button


    for her floor.


    Amiee lived on the 29th floor. As Estelle approached the door, the door suddenly opened before she


    could ring the bell. Amiee was standing behind the door,ughing, “I knew you wereing up!”


    “Do all you programmers calcte the time so urately?”


    Estelle smiled and handed the fruit she bought to Amiee.


    Amiee took it and gave Estelle a pair of new slippers, “You don’t have to buy fruit, I usually don’t eat it


    anyway.”


    As Estelle changed her shoes, she noticed a pair of men’s shoes on the shoe rack. She was
