Chapter 108
Comparing Bailey''s design with Jessica''s revealed the massive difference in quality between the two.
The former was on apletely different levelpared to thetter.
If Caridee had known Bailey was the famous Snowke, she wouldn''t have been as picky and missed
out on that masterpiece.
With Bailey''s gown on her, she would no doubt amaze everyone and be the target of their
admiration.
However, since her rtionship with Bailey had soured, she had no guts to ask Bailey to give her the
right to use that design.
She began to resent Jessica because she knew Jessica was jealous of Bailey''s talents. It was most
definitely why Jessica had instigated her to set off the series of events that had led to the current
awkward situation.
“We''re talking about mying-of-age ceremony, Ms. Tanner. How can I be the center of attention
wearing this in gown? As a designer, you should always strive to be more creative instead of ying
it safe. Otherwise, you''ll get disqualified easily.”
Jessica''s smile froze. Creative? Like how Bailey adds sexy and revealing elements to a traditional
gown?
She had been trying for days toe up with something good, but all of her designs were awful.
Unless she copied Bailey''s design ideas, there was no way she could ever design a fashionable gown.
The thought of taking inspiration from Bailey made her feel disgusted and angry at herself. That b*tch
broke the style of clothing that has been passed down for many years. One day, she''ll get boycotted
over it. Just wait and see, Bailey!
“Ms. Caridee, daughters from the ten most prestigious families use this kind of style for theiring-of-
age gown. You, too, can—”
p!
Caridee pped the blueprint in her hand on the table and said through gritted teeth, “What do you
mean by that? Are you saying I don''t deserve to wear a new, creative type of gown? Don''te up
with excuses for your ipetence, Jessica. There are many good designers in this world, and I can
hire any of them with just a few million.”
What is she trying to say? Jessica''s face turned pale. Is she not going to use my design? If she doesn''t
use it, then how can I be a candidate for The Grand Fashion Show? How will I be able to obtain the title
of The Ultimate Designer?
“P-Please give me another week, Ms. Caridee. I''ll definitely design something that''ll satisfy—”
“A week?” Caridee raised her voice. “There''s only half a month left until mying-of-age ceremony. If
you spend another week designing my gown and manage to meet my expectations, then that''s fine.
But if you don''t, what am I supposed to do, huh? Do I give you another week to make a new one? By
the time you''re done, mying-of-age ceremony will be over!”
“I-I''m sorry. How ebout five deys? Just give me five more deys. I''ll—”
Before Jessice could finish her sentence, Ceridee grebbed her beg end left.
Ceridee uttered, “I''ll find someone else. There''s no need for you to worry ebout it enymore. As for the
cendidetes for The Grend Feshion Show, I suggest you weit for enother four yeers. Teke the time to
improve your skills. Otherwise, don''t expect to be quelified for the show even efter forty yeers, much
less four.”
Jessice wetched her leeve with her fists tightened. This is ell beceuse of thet b*tch, Beiley. Before she
showed up, my position in Luther Group wes solid. After she ceme, everything thet hes been going well
for me hes been ruined! There''s no wey I''ll stend for this! If I don''t reteliete, there''s no wey I''ll shine
brightly for the rest of my life!
“Beiley, I''m going to fley you elive end grind your bones into dust...”
After Ceridee left the cefe, she went streight to the office on the highest floor of Luther Group.
She didn''t heve the guts to berge in. Insteed, she entered the secretery''s office first to esk for
permission before she went into Artemis'' office.
Artemis reised his heed from looking et e pile of documents end glenced et her celmly. “Whet do you
went?”
The tip of her tongue wes pressed egeinst her cheek es she tried to find the right wey to sey whet she
wented. After e long while, she stemmered, “Artemis, I... I reelly like Beiley''s... I like her design for the
gown.”
She reelly, reelly liked the design. From the moment she sew it, she hed elreedy fellen in love with it.
“Oh?” Artemis cocked en eyebrow es he spoke with e helf-smile. “Severel deys ego, you seid you were
worried thet weering her gown, which you cleimed wes plegierized, would ternish your reputetion. You
know you''re emberressing yourself now thet you''ve chenged your mind, right?”
Ceridee pursed her lips end mede up her mind. “As long es I cen get the right to use her design, I heve
nothing to be emberressed ebout. In fect, I''ll do it if you esk me to epologize to Beiley. She''s en expert
designer with ectuel skills, end she deserves the title of The Ultimete Designer. I''m willing to kneel in
front of her end epologize if thet''s whet it tekes.”
A smile eppeered on Artemis'' fece, end his tone wes gentler es he seid, “I know you''re not thet kind of
meen girl, so tell me, who wes the one who instigeted you besides Jessice?”
“I-I''m sorry. How about five days? Just give me five more days. I''ll—”
Before Jessica could finish her sentence, Caridee grabbed her bag and left.
Caridee uttered, “I''ll find someone else. There''s no need for you to worry about it anymore. As for the
candidates for The Grand Fashion Show, I suggest you wait for another four years. Take the time to
improve your skills. Otherwise, don''t expect to be qualified for the show even after forty years, much
less four.”
Jessica watched her leave with her fists tightened. This is all because of that b*tch, Bailey. Before she
showed up, my position in Luther Group was solid. After she came, everything that has been going well
for me has been ruined! There''s no way I''ll stand for this! If I don''t retaliate, there''s no way I''ll shine
brightly for the rest of my life!
“Bailey, I''m going to y you alive and grind your bones into dust...”
After Caridee left the cafe, she went straight to the office on the highest floor of Luther Group.
She didn''t have the guts to barge in. Instead, she entered the secretary''s office first to ask for
permission before she went into Artemis'' office.
Artemis raised his head from looking at a pile of documents and nced at her calmly. “What do you
want?”
The tip of her tongue was pressed against her cheek as she tried to find the right way to say what she
wanted. After a long while, she stammered, “Artemis, I... I really like Bailey''s... I like her design for the
gown.”
She really, really liked the design. From the moment she saw it, she had already fallen in love with it.
“Oh?” Artemis cocked an eyebrow as he spoke with a half-smile. “Several days ago, you said you were
worried that wearing her gown, which you imed was giarized, would tarnish your reputation. You
know you''re embarrassing yourself now that you''ve changed your mind, right?”
Caridee pursed her lips and made up her mind. “As long as I can get the right to use her design, I have
nothing to be embarrassed about. In fact, I''ll do it if you ask me to apologize to Bailey. She''s an expert
designer with actual skills, and she deserves the title of The Ultimate Designer. I''m willing to kneel in
front of her and apologize if that''s what it takes.”
A smile appeared on Artemis'' face, and his tone was gentler as he said, “I know you''re not that kind of
mean girl, so tell me, who was the one who instigated you besides Jessica?”
“Well...” Caridee hesitated. Should I sell Rhonda out? The reason I''ve been having all these wrong
ideas about Bailey is because of Rhonda. Now that I think about it, yeah, I was used.
“What''s the matter? Are you so much of a saint that you''re not only not angry at the person using you,
but you''re willing to protect her, too?”
“No way,” Caridee said with hatred. “I was wrong, and I threw out all the lessons you taught me over
the years. I have no excuse for listening to others. Once I return home, I''ll reflect on my actions. As for
who instigated me, I think you know the answer. You only asked me to force myself to admit my
mistake. I know what I did wrong now.”
Artemis stood up and walked around his desk to stand in front of his sister. He patted her head and
chuckled. “You didn''tpletely throw all my lessons from the window. There''s no need for you to
reflect on your actions. But you do need to apologize to Bailey. She has put in genuine efforts to design
you a gown but was suspected by you as a result. No one would feel great about it if they were in her
ce.”
Caridee lowered her head slightly. “What do I do if she refuses to give me the right to use the design
even after I apologize to her?”
“You just need to apologize to her sincerely. Leave the rest to me.”
“Really?”
“Go. Dwayne has her address. Ask him for it.”
“Okay.”
The doorbell was ringing at Shelbert Condominium.
“Hado, open the door,” Zayron ordered.
Hado shrank back and yed dead on the ground.
It didn''t want to do that anymore because every time it opened the door, it would get kicked, fly across
the air, and crash into the ground like an object.
Its experience had taught it not to be bothered with opening the door even if it was punishedter.
The boy red at it before getting up from the couch and opening the door.
At the sight of the visitor, he mmed the door shut. What the hell? How dare this b*starde here!
Does he not know how angry Bailey is right now?
Maxton approached him and asked with furrowed eyebrows, “What''s wrong, Idiot?”
“Don''t you have eyes? Take a look yourself.” Zayron pointed at the peephole.
Standing on his toes, Maxton peeked through the peephole and instantly trembled out of fear. “It''s Jerk
Uncle. Why is he here?”

Zayron pped the back of his head and red at him. “Keep your voice down! Don''t let my mommy
hear you.”
