Chapter 171


    “Miss Megan Yard, did you do it for the sake of marrying Mr. Lake? May I ask if it was because of


    true love? Or was it because you wished to marry into a wealthy family?”


    “Miss Megan Yard, how’s your married life with Mr. Lake? Since Miss Selena Yard is so sessful


    now, does Mr. Lake regret his decision now?”


    Now that she was being surrounded by the reporters, Megan could hardly handle the bombardment


    of questions.


    “No, it’s not like that. Stop your nonsense!” Megan yelled. She covered her ears and tried to get


    away from the reporters, but she couldn’t.


    Knowing that there were a lot of reporters waiting outside, Selena chose a less noticeable car and


    coincidentally, she saw what happened to Megan.


    “Haha… Such a relief! Serves that witch right! What goes aroundes around indeed!” Linda


    cheered and pped her hands.


    “Let’s go!” Selena said expressionlessly.


    The next day, without altering the truth, the newspaper reported exactly what had happened


    throughout the press conference. It was a live broadcast after all, so the reporters couldn’t possibly


    exaggerate or make up stories. The news had acknowledged Selena’s reputation of being an


    inspirational woman. On the other hand, Megan’s previous scandals were exposed by the reporters,


    and all of it was published in the newspapers.


    In the next two days, Selena and Pierre continued to ignore one another and neither took the


    initiative to contact the other. Annoyed, Selena was at a loss as she sat at her office desk. Even


    though she kept checking her phone, she noticed there were still no messages from Pierre, so she


    chucked her phone into the drawer.


    “President Yard, about tomorrow’s fashion show, what do you n on wearing?” Linda asked as she


    walked in the office.


    If Linda hadn’t reminded her, Selena would have totally forgotten that the fashion show was


    scheduled two days after the press conference, so the next day was already the day for the fashion


    show of CiCi.

    “I think it’ll be more appropriate if we stick with a professional corporate outfit, since everyone is


    praising you for being such an inspirational woman. How does that sound?”


    Feeling a little blue, Selenaid her head on the desk, and all of a sudden, she spotted a name on


    the guestlist—Meredith Yard.


    Sitting up abruptly, Selena said, “Why should I wear a corporate outfit?! I’ll dress up to the nines and


    be the prettiest of them all!”


    “But…”


    “No buts! You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll arrange everything myself.”


    Unsurprisingly, the CiCi fashion show became quite a viral topic recently all thanks to Megan for


    creating such a scene; the press conference had undoubtedly given CiCi the required media


    coverage.


    Being the special guest of the day, Meredith wore a vintage style evening gown. The unique


    embroidery design was done based on Astoria’s famous traditional embroidery workmanship.


    Overall, the evening gown entuated her fine bodyline. While standing in front of the mirror,


    Meredith enjoyed admiring her own beauty and perfect bodyline.


    “Merry, you look absolutely stunning! I’m confident that you’ll be the prettiest of all tonight! Trust me,


    your pictures will be one of the most retweeted pictures of the day! I can almost imagine the


    reporters showering you with praises already!” Landy eximed as she stood aside with her eyes


    sparkling with admiration.


    “Something is still missing,” said Meredith. Reaching out to touch her own wrist, she felt that she


    seemed to be missing an essory.


    “You’re right! If we have a jade bracelet to match your gown, it would be perfect! But where to get a


    jade bracelet?”


    As she admired herself in the mirror, Meredith grinned. “Someone will send it overter.”


    Just a while ago, she had sent a text message to Pierre and urged him to bring over a bracelet.


    Probably just a whileter, Pierre would bring along the bracelet with him.


    For the past few days, the Inte was flooded with updates about the origin of this particr


    bracelet. There was also an update about a wealthy businessman who purchased the bracelet at a


    price of 110 million during an auction. Rumors had it that the businessman was about to present it to


    his fiancée.
