Chapter 129


    Aftering up with a name andpleting the design, Pearl sent it to the investor, who responded


    with praises.


    “You’re truly an exceptional designer. Only you could havee up with a design like this,” the


    investor’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “It was well worth the wait. We’llmence


    production based on this design, and I’m hopeful it will achieve record-breaking sales.”


    “Thank you, sir.”


    Pearl’s designs consistently performed well in sales, which was why the investor continued to


    coborate


    with her.


    On the first day of the new productunch, excitement about “The Foxy Moon Seduction” swept across


    the inte as soon as the website announced its avability.


    “Wow, this is so pretty. The previous ones were all for couples, so I never had the chance to buy one.


    But this one is so beautiful!”


    “Why do people ever doubt Pearl’s designs? I’m ready to defend her!”


    When Abby heard of the news, she sat in stunned disbelief. She vividly recalled making significant


    alterations to the design. It shouldn’t have turned out like this!


    Had Pearl truly managed to create an entirely new design in just one afternoon? Was this her talent?


    Jealousy surged within Abby as she contemted how effortlessly Pearl could create such remarkable


    designs.


    Her immediate concern was locking down Richard as soon as possible, or else Pearl mighte


    between them. All her efforts would be in vain if they ended up together.


    Abby made a call to tell Susan she was going over for dinner.


    Susan had grown fonder of Abby since her transformation, so she dly epted the invitation.


    That evening, when Pearl returned home and discovered Abby was there, she couldn’t help but frown.


    “Pearl, are you upset that I’m here?” Abby noticed Pearl’s annoyance and aimed to expose her. “I just


    came to see Madam and join you all for dinner. It’s not a problem, right?” she exined, feigning


    innocence.

    Susanughed. “You’re wee toe over whenever you like. Who would ever stop you?”


    “Of course not. Go ahead.” Pearl thought of skipping the meal.


    “Even if you don’t particrly like me, you should show respect to Madam. She made all this food, so


    you should have some…” Abby advised, attempting to offer guidance but only making the situation


    more


    ufortable.


    Susan felt disheartened when she sensed the tension. “Yes, Pearl. I put so much effort into cooking this


    meal. It wouldn’t be right to let it go to waste.”


    Pearl found herself at a loss as she watched the two of them seemingly team up, so she reluctantly


    took her seat at the dining table.


    Richard returned home shortly afterward, and upon seeing Abby there, he greeted her coldly, “Why are


    you here?”


    Abby hadn’t anticipated Richard’s frosty reception. She hesitated before replying, “I miss Madam, so I


    came


    over…”
