Chapter 646


    Flowers were blooming in the Ink Garden''s backwn. All sorts of precious and rare species were


    blossoming beautifully.


    Sabrina was sitting on the stone bench with her easel in front of her. She was deep in thought, with


    a concentrated expression.


    On such a morning, time was still, and the beauty of nature opened up her creative mind.


    In the past few days, Sabrina had toe here every morning to finish her summer homework.


    After this semester, she will graduate. Although her knees were injured, doctors from the health


    center would apply medicine for her on time everyday. Sabrina had very much recovered. Although


    she was still limping when she walked, it didn''t bother her much.


    Sabrina wanted to finish designing her ''dreamy'' fashion collection before the summer holiday


    ended. If she wanted to be the world''s top famous designer, then she had to create her own


    brand, which showcased the current trend.


    Therefore, Sabrina was focused on fashion design for the past few years.


    In theing January, she wished to hold her own properly crafted, dreamy, charming, as well as


    original designs at Provinten''s Fashion Show.


    As the top- rated event in the fashion world, Provinten''s haute couture requirement was very high.


    One could only be a member and participate in the event if one was invited by its sponsor


    organization. As such, only when a fashion design reached its requirement could the designer


    be famous and showcase their work to the world. Then, the designer would be promoted and


    be thought highly of.


    To be a member, the first thing Sabrina needed to do was to set up a studio in Provinten,


    which was full of professional and purely custom-made clothing. She knew that genuine upper-ss


    families and well-known people would only wear handmade formal attires, for example, the people


    in the Richards family, such as Hansen, Norton, Trevor, ude, and Capital City''s famous family.


    Every year, they would have to spend a lot of money to order exquisite suits from the expert tailors


    in Provinten. This was a man''s appearance, and it was also a symbol of one''s status in the business


    arena.


    Sabrina was very demanding. Once she put her heart into it, she would want to learn from the best,


    which was her goal. Otherwise, she would rather not do it at all.


    Moreover, she was also trying hard in this direction.


    The morning passed very quickly as Sabrina focused on her sketches.


    Presently, Richards Manor was too chaotic with all kinds of crises. She sighed emotionally, but at


    the same time, she was deeply worried about Jenna''s situation.


    Nheless, even if Sabrina wanted to help out, shecked the resources. Hence, she could only


    do so much.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Finally, Sabrina finished one of her designs. She stretched herself and looked at her work with great


    satisfaction.


    "Not bad. It''s so beautiful." The sound of praise came from the small path among the flowers.


    Sabrina turned her head and saw that Carme was walking over, wearing an elegant and


    gorgeous dress. There was a beautiful, pure smile on her face.


    "You''re also studying fashion design?" Carme asked in surprise after she walked over and


    carefully studied Sabrina''s designs.


    Sabrina smiled and replied, "It''s just a hobby. I''m not as famous as you."


    She joked self-deprecatingly and stood up. Then,


    she began to pack up and prepared to go back to the guest room.


    "Mm. Not bad. Your design is beautiful and suits the current youngdies very well. However, it


    lacks a bit of high-end maturity, and the people who fit it aren''t the kind of richdies who are willing


    to spend money on it. Thus, the sales might not be as great," Carmemented in a very polite


    manner.


    Sabrina was unhappy to hear that. She looked gloomy, but she still smiled and answered, "Thank


    you for your guidance, but I want to say that this is my unique brand, and I want it to have a sense


    of individualism. Hence, it might not be consistent with the trendy ideas in the market. I believe that


    the rich woman who prioritizes her beauty also wants to look youthful. Therefore, Ibined the


    young girl''s dream with its purity in my design. Others can''t see it, but I believe some will


    understand. After all, everyone has different views. Hope you understand."


    As she spoke, Sabrina quickly tidied up her things. She really wanted to leave this ce as soon as


    possible. She didn''t like to hang around with Carme.


    "Mmhmm, you''re right. I hope you''ll seed. I''m just telling you what I''m thinking. I hope you won''t


    mind." Carme smiled.


    "I won''t. Thank you for yourments." Sabrina was generous and smiled indifferently.


    "Oh, by the way, I''ll be going to the judges for this year''s Provinten Fashion Show. If you really want


    to go to the world''s stage,e over and find me. I''ll help you," Carme suggested enthusiastically


    with an elegant and confident smile on her face.


    Sabrina''s hands froze, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.


    "Thank you, Carme. You are so warm-hearted, but I don''t think it''s necessary. The world''s stage


    has always been upied by the fittest, and the weak are eliminated. If the fashionable dress I


    designed can''t withstand the criticism and is not popr, then it won''tst long even if you can help


    me get onto the world stage. Don''t you think so?" Sabrinaughed at herself. She was very


    impartial and fair.


    When Carme heard this, she let out a smallugh. "Sabrina, that''s true. You''re ambitious. Then,


    I''ll wish you good luck then."


    "Thank you, I still have something to do. So, I won''t be in yourpany any longer. Please do as


    you wish." Sabrina cleaned up her easel, put it on her shoulder, and was about to leave.


    "Sabrina, can we have a chat?" Seeing that Sabrina couldn''t wait to leave, the smile on Carme''s


    lips deepened as she called out to her.


    Sabrina turned around and forced a smile. "What do you want to talk to me about?"


    She truly didn''t believe that she had anything to discuss with Carme. The two of them weren''t


    even close to each other. Not only were their personalities ipatible, they were not friends


    either.


    "It can be said that it''s just a small matter. Do you mind giving me some time?" Carme giggled.


    "Well, go ahead." Sabrina had to turn around with a helpless look on her face.


    Carme looked at her with a smile, but didn''t say anything.


    Sabrina''s heart was suddenly filled with anger. Wasn''t Carme ying with her? Just as she was


    about to leave, she heard Carme''s question from behind.


    "Sabrina, do you still like Norton?"


    Sabrina''s body shook a little, and the expression on her face was stiff.


    She hadn''t expected that Carme would be so bold as to ask such a question.


    "No," Sabrina answered without thinking. Was she testing her? She wouldn''t be fooled.


    "Really?" Carme shrugged and smiled.


    "Of course, it''s true. I don''t understand what you mean by this." Sabrina was secretly a little


    annoyed, as if someone had peeped into her mind. Her voice was a little cold.


    Carme chuckled. "But I think you''re still fond of Norton."


    As soon as she finished speaking, she looked her up and down with a probing gaze.


    Sabrina''s heart skipped a beat, and her face changed slightly.


    "Carme, although I used to be engaged with Norton, you should know that we have already


    withdrawn the engagement. We are just friends. I really don''t understand what you mean by these


    words. Don''t worry. If you want to marry Norton, then I won''t interfere and destroy the rtionship.


    Moreover, I am engaged to Sergio." Sabrina was very anxious in her heart, but her expression was


    faint.


    By the way, Carme was really irritating. No one should talk about another person''s sore spot, and


    it was obvious that Carme was testing her. A woman''s thoughts were impossible to grasp. Yet,


    wasn''t she trying to marry Norton? Why did Carme have to ask Sabrina these questions? What


    did this have to do with her? If she had the ability, then she could ask Norton to marry her as soon


    as possible.


    "If that''s the case, then that''s for the best." Carme had a hearty smile on her face when she heard


    Sabrina''s exnation. "Actually, I''ve admired Norton since I was a child. He''s very handsome and


    quiet. He''s already be the director of the financial department at such a young age. Although


    it''s rted to Javon''s case, it won''t affect his image in my mind. Everyone knows that the young


    masters and gentlemen of the Richards family are both handsome, charming, and attractive.


    Sabrina, I''m a straightforward person. So, I will say my thoughts aloud, unlike the people who don''t


    say what they mean. Hence, if I have this belief, then I''ll just say it straight out. You won''t be angry,


    right?"


    Carme''s words were affectionate, and her face was filled with emotions. Her gaze was fixed on


    Sabrina.


    Hearing this, Sabrina was both jealous and furious. What was Carme trying to say? Was she


    trying to show off? Moreover, Carme was talking about people who didn''t say what they meant.


    Was she talking about her?


    "Why should I be angry? What does it have to do with me?" Sabrina was very puzzled and asked,


    "If it''s really like this, then that''s great. Isn''t Norton still single now? You two are an ideal couple, a


    perfect match. I wish you both happiness."


    By now, Sabrina had understood why Carme was here to talk to her. She was here to


    demonstrate her feelings for Norton. Sabrina had to stand aside and not disrupt their good times.


    "Sabrina, I really have to thank you. Thank you for your blessing." Carme''s eyes were shining


    with joy. She walked up to Sabrina''s hand and eximed excitedly, "Sabrina, you''re a really good


    and considerate girl. I wish you and Sergio happiness and a loving life. You know that Aunt Maria


    likes me and wants me to marry Norton. My dad had a few ideas at first, but I''ve convinced my


    grandmother, and she also likes Norton very much. I also believe that we''ll be very happy in the


    future."


    As Carme spoke, she held Sabrina''s hand affectionately, as if she was expressing her own


    feelings to a good friend.


    She held Sabrina''s hand tightly and Sabrina couldn''t get rid of her.


    The bitterness in Sabrina''s heart gradually spread and finally filled her whole chest. Obviously, she


    felt extremely ufortable, but she still forced a smile on her face. "Carme, though Norton is a


    little gloomy, he is still very thoughtful and considerate. After you marry him, you will be very happy


    in the future. So, I hope you will treat him well and love him sincerely."


    As soon as she said this, Sabrina''s heart suddenly ached.


    "Sabrina, don''t worry. I''ll definitely love Norton well." When she heard Sabrina''s words, Carme''s


    face immediately lit up and her smile became bright and clear.


    "That''s great. It''s fate. I wish you all good luck." Sabrina forced a smile and vigorously pushed


    Carme''s hand away. "I still have something to do. I really have to go first."


    After taking a step forward, she turned back and informed her, "By the way, Carme, Norton likes


    sour and sweet strawberries. He doesn''t like smoking but likes vintage wine. Unfortunately, he is


    allergic to shrimp and mango. You should pay attention to it."


    After Sabrina finished speaking, she didn''t wait for Carme''s reply. With the easel on her back, she


    walked away with her head lowered.


    Carme stood there quietly as she looked at Sabrina''s retreating back. A smug smile appeared on


    her face.
