    Chapter 1452 [Eleven Jewell]


    The realization of missing out on an opportunity to work for the true Saun family heiress gnawed at


    Michael. His face grew pale, and his lips quivered before he managed to speak. “M-Mr. Snyder never


    mentioned that it was you who wanted the makeup.”


    Ste maintained her smile and her tone. “Once you’ve made amitment, you should have the


    integrity to keep it regardless of who it is, no? Did Mr. Snyder offer you less than my sister did, causing


    you to change your mind at thest minute? Given your close ties with him, I’m sure he would’ve


    understood if you just said something.”


    Michael stood frozen, and his face was still pale. He struggled to answer Ste’s prompt.


    Jaylene pressed her lips together, and she attempted to exin. “Ste, this is most likely a


    misunderstanding. Mr. Snyder didn’t provide a deposit, so Mr. Caleb might have thought that it was a


    casual mention.”


    Ste turned her attention to Jaylene, and her voice tinged with a hint of irony. “I didn’t know that…”


    This single statement caused a stir among the onlookers.


    “Wait, how did Jaylene know that there wasn’t a deposit?”


    “Could she have intentionally snatched the makeup artist away from someone else?”


    “I heard something like this earlier, but I’m not sure…”


    “What did you hear?”


    “There was gossip in the group chat saying that Vermont was running around trying to find a makeup


    artist in the middle of the night. A makeup artist of Michael’s talent usually requires advanced booking,


    so they were in quite the trouble.”

    “This means that Michael knew he couldn’t make it well beforehand. But, instead of letting Mr. Snyder


    know early, he waited until thest minute to back out. Was he intentionally putting the other party in a


    tough spot?”


    “This is so intriguing, especially since the other person who hired him was Jaylene.”


    “Look at her. She’s all dolled up when she isn’t even the main focus of the event. The fact that she


    hired Michael knowing that he was supposed to do makeup for Ste shows her intentions.”


    Jaylene’s face turned pale, as she listened to the people’s discussions. “I heard about it from Mr. Caleb


    after he did my makeup. I genuinely didn’t know that you had arranged for him to do your makeup. If I


    had known, I definitely wouldn’t have approached him,” she hurriedly exined.


    Ste smiled faintly. “Whether you knew or not doesn’t matter anymore. I wouldn’t want to work with


    makeup artists like him, who are only after profit and have no sense of loyalty. You have to keep your


    eyes peeled when you hire a makeup artist, sis. With your natural beauty, you’d be better off without


    these overhyped makeup artists who could potentially ruin your existing grace.”


    Ste was just a step away from saying they were all show and no substance.


    Jaylene’s expression turned grim, and her fingers trembled slightly. Suddenly, her eyes reddened, and


    her voice choked. “Ste, you’ve really misunderstood the situation. Ever since dad told me you were


    his daughter, I’ve been eagerly anticipating this day. I valued this moment, and all the effort I put into


    dressing up was just to leave a good impression on you. I didn’t know that because of me, you almost


    couldn’t find a makeup artist in time. Even if it wasn’t intentional, I’m still to me. I’m sorry. Truly, I’m


    so-“


    Before Jaylene could finish her sentence, her body suddenly stiffened. She clutched her neck. Her


    mouth opened and closed as if she could not breathe while she made a wheezing sound.


    Ste was startled. She quickly realized that Jaylene was having an asthma attack.
