Chapter 428 Utterly Embarrassed


    "Madam Hawkins, it''s been a long time. You seem to be getting younger and younger."


    "What have you been busy withtely? Don''t you have time to y cards with us?"


    "We should get together when we have the chance."


    Listening to the crowd''s "expressions of concern", Susan couldn''t help but feel extremely satisfied. It


    was as if she had regained the feeling of being the center of attention as she had before.


    A sense of pride quickly welled up in her heart.


    Jessica, who was by her side, naturally attracted everyone''s attention. "Madam Hawkins, this is …"


    Hearing that, Jessica took the initiative to be friendly. "Hi, everyone. I''m Jessica Landon."


    Upon hearing that, the crowd couldn''t help but size Jessica up. Yet she waspletely unfamiliar to


    them. So they concluded that she wasn''t the daughter of any of the prestigious families.


    Hence, they didn''t pay much attention to Jessica. Their attitudes toward her instantly cooled, and


    they showed no intention of interacting with her.

    Seeing this, Susan pulled Jessica over and introduced her to everyone. "Jessica is an


    internationally renowned fashion designer. She''s very famous.


    "If any of you need help designing dresses, you can totally find her. She can offer you significant


    discounts."


    Several wealthydies nodded after hearing Susan''s words. Yet they still didn''t take Jessica


    seriously.


    Instead, one of them, Ariana Gillespie, unexpectedly said, "When Mrs. Hawkins mentioned designer


    just now, I felt like I had some impression of you."


    Hearing this, Jessica smiled broadly. It seemed that her years of effort hadn''t been in vain.


    Someone was recognizing her designs.


    But the next moment, Ariana said, "I felt you looked somewhat familiar just now, but I couldn''t recall


    for a moment.


    "Now that you say you''re a designer, I suddenly remembered. You''re Jion, right? The giarist


    designer who caused a sensation online a few days ago. I heard you''re a habitual giarist,


    copying a lot of other people''s works. Aren''t you just a robber?"


    Jessica''s face turned pale instantly, and she was stunned. She clearly felt the various disdainful


    gazes from those around her.


    She bit her lip tightly and hurriedly exined, "No, it''s—"


    However, several wealthydies turned away, walking off without wanting to listen to her


    exnation. They just wanted to distance themselves from her.


    Susan was dumbfounded as well. She asked hurriedly, "Jessica, what''s going on?"


    She wasn''t a fool. As the words left her mouth, she couldn''t help but think of Benjamin''s words


    before leaving. "Did you really giarize other people''s work?"


    Although it was a question, her tone was certain because Benjamin would never lie to her.


    Moreover, those wealthydies just now wouldn''t speak nonsense.


    Jessica quickly grabbed Susan and said, "Madam Hawkins, it''s not like that. I was framed. It''s all


    because of Grace, that bitch."


    As expected, at the mention of Grace, Susan''s eyes changed instantly. She knew how much she


    had suffered because of Grace.


    Out of curiosity, she asked, "Grace? What does this have to do with Grace?"


    Jessica knew about the grievances between Susan and Grace, as well as Susan''s deep disdain for


    Grace.


    She knew precisely where to strike. With just a few sentences, she ignited Susan''s resentment


    toward Grace once again.


    "Madam Hawkins, you may not know, but all of this is a scheme Grace set up to frame me for


    giarism. She''s not a good person. She set up such a trap to ruin my reputation out of jealousy."
