Because Millie didn’t seem to resent her, Grace felt a surge of relief.


    “Based on what’s transpired, it’s evident that Marcus is truly dependable. I misunderstood him. If he


    were here, I’d apologize to him as well.”


    Millie couldn’t help but burst intoughter. As she raised her gaze, she spotted Nancy exiting the


    Thomas Group and getting on a taxi to leave.


    Nancy wasn’t able to see Millie’s design draft, so she decided to consult Mrs. Fairclough about it.


    She was curious what Millie hade up with to make Mrs. Fairclough prefer Millie’s design over hers.


    Inside the Fairclough family residence, a servant escorted Nancy into the hall.


    “Madam, Nancy is here,” the servant announced.


    Engaged in her beauty routine, Mrs. Fairclough was using a facial mask in the living room. Nancy


    approached and said, “Mrs. Fairclough, I’vee to showcase my refined design with you.”


    Mrs. Fairclough got up, face mask and all, and instructed the servant to serve tea.


    “Nancy, please bear with me for a moment. I need to remove the mask first.”


    Mrs. Fairclough departed for the bathroom. While Nancy waited, she noticed the drawer slightly ajar


    under the mahogany tea table, partially revealing a design draft.

    After scanning the hall to ensure her privacy, Nancy crouched and opened the drawer.


    Inside was indeed a jewelry design, and it was nothing short of breathtaking. An involuntary pinch of


    the sofa’s armrest expressed Nancy’s amazement.


    The design showcased a radiant ne with a snow-white swan pendant. The swan elegantly lifted


    its head, revealing a graceful neckline. A simr exquisite swan adorned a diamond ring, captured in a


    delightful dance. It was no exaggeration to call these pieces masterful creations.


    Nancy’s attention then focused on the signature at the Lower right corner, unequivocally confirming it


    as Millie’s handiwork.


    She clenched her teeth in frustration. Millie’s choice of a swan theme was astoundingly clever. Beyond


    that, her adept artistic skill rendered the swan a hundred times more beautiful than any other


    designer’s rendition.


    The swan, emblematic of profound love, was a brilliant concept for a wedding theme. Millie had won


    her with this idea.


    Although her starry sky series sparkled, itcked the poignant symbolism of the swan.


    In Light of Millie’s work, hers paled inparison.


    Upon hearing footsteps, Nancy promptly restored the design to its ce and shut the drawer.


    “Nancy, please enjoy some tea,” a servant offered.


    “Thank you,” she replied.


    Once Mrs. Fairclough reappeared, Nancy proceeded to disy her work.


    Although Mrs. Fairclough did acknowledge its merit, her responsecked the astonishment Nancy had
