Chapter 1346 Regain Her Reputation__________________________
In the cozy reception area, J extended a warm cup of coffee towards Mandy, her voice softened
as she asked, "Whatbrings you my way, Miss Hamilton?" Post the swirl of the troll scandal, Mandy
had gone radio silent, keeping herself out of the Inte''s scrutinizing gaze.
With a gentle huff, Mandy sent a puff of steam swirling above her coffee, her words came unhurried.
"I''m not one for debts. I''m just here to repay a favor."
J arched an eyebrow. "I can''t seem to recall any favor you owe me."
A peculiar flush swept across Mandy''s cheeks. After a significant pause, she murmured, barely
above a whisper, "You extended your trust to me once... Now it''s my turn. I don''t want any debts
looming over us!" Mandy''s words were somewhat amusing to J. "Alright. Seems we''re square
then. However, I must express my gratitude for your trust, Miss Hamilton." In response, Mandy
straightened her posture, her toneced with arrogance. "Indeed, you should. It''s not often I ce
my trust in others."
J smiled. "I consider it an honor."
Mandy took a leisurely sip of her coffee, her nose crinkling slightly as she added, "But remember,
this trust won''t extend to our professional battlefield. Don''t let my victory in the design contest knock
you off your feet."
"Oh?" J rose to the challenge with a twinkle in her eye. "Miss Hamilton, I''ll extend the same
courtesy to you. I hope thepetition doesn''t end
prematurely for you."
Her words stoked thepetitive me in Mandy. "I''m not the one to be defeated! I''ve been honing
my skills, gearing up to trump you at the next fashion show, proving my mettle to everyone!"
J offered a graceful smile. "Well, I''ll be eagerly awaiting the day you best me."
Thepetitive banter tapered off soon, and Mandy found herself grappling with the main purpose
of her visit. Shuffling awkwardly, she ventured, "Mind if we snap a few pictures together?"
J caught on quickly. Smoothing out her coat and running a hand through her hair, she offered a
sincere "Thank you."
Mandy posed with elegance alongside J, snapping a handful of pictures. Ensuring her most
ttering angles were captured along with the Logo of J''s studio, she pocketed her phone, a
satisfied grin ying on her lips.
The shared photograph soon made its way to Mandy''s social media, apanied by a supportive
post for J. It quickly gathered momentum among Mandy''s followers.
At that moment, in the bustling W Marks studio, Draco, Elizabeth, and the rest rallied behind J
with their supportive posts.
The backing from well-renowned designers improved J''s standing in the industry. Her
reputation was on the mend, and her clientele was warming up to her once again.
J, however, remained oblivious to the show of solidarity from the W Marks team and the revival
of her reputation.
Once the photograph was posted, Mandy made her grand exit, trailed by her assistant and
bodyguards.
Having seen off her visitors, J traced her fingers across her brow, exhaustion creeping into her
voice. "Quite the hustle today."
Lexi hovered around J, a bundle of nervous energy. A storm of words seemed on the verge of
tumbling from her lips, yet she bit them back.

J tousled Lexi''s hair lightly, coaxing her, "Out with it."
Lexi dropped her gaze to the floor, her tone remorseful. "Mrs. Larson, I apologize. I shouldn''t have
barred Mandy at the door earlier, and my cold demeanor was unwarranted."
A soft chuckle escaped J''s lips at Lexi''s contrite expression. "No harm done, Lexi. No hard
feelings here."
Lexi''s eyes lit up at J''s reassurances. "Really?"
J nodded, her words stern but gentle. "Being cautious is a virtue, Lexi. Our studio''s security
needs beefing up."
A renewed resolve sparked in Lexi''s eyes as she thumped her chest, dering, "I''ll make sure no
one sketchy gets within arm''s reach of the studio!"
A note of caution seeped into J''s voice. "However, give Miss Hamilton a free pass next time,
alright?"
