Chapter 12
He didn’t expect Annie to follow him, “Horace, you shouldn’t leave me alone. I will make sure not to
bother you.”
Horace allowed a frown to set in to show his helplessness, but he didn’t have anything he could refute
her.
At the moment, a silence descended on the scene, and everyone had settled into their seats. He found
it unsuitable to stand up again, so he could only allow things to be that way.
Annie had seen everything that unfolded between them, and she scoffed, “I can’t believe that Annie
has this obedient side to her, but I have always been curious about the reason she had ran off to
another country without warning. She only came back after so long.”
rence replied, “Ask her by yourself.”
“I just want to show my concern.”
“I don’t know the reason behind her actions.”
When Annie had gone overseas, he was on a business trip in the United Kingdom. When he got back,
she was no longer in the country.
There was no reason for him to pry into this since it had nothing to do with him.
Very soon, the press conference started, and the founder of SG Jewellery Magazine took the stage and
gave a speech about the beginnings of theirpany and then he was followed by Stanford who gave
a speech about their future development directions. He also stated that the three renditions of the
“Puppy Love’ Series” was only the beginning of a line of products that would feature more designs.
New line of products would be created too.
After that, models started to catwalk to disy the items.
Annie said, “Horace, this series is really nice. I really want it.”
Horace wasn’t paying any attention to her at all. Besides eyeing the items worn by the models, he also
sneaked nces in the direction of the backstage.
The SG Jewellery Magazine had announced that the designer of this line of products would make an
appearance today.
On the other side, Vincentmented, “Sharon is indeed the real deal. Her work is pure art and
inspiration. All of items would capture the heart of any female. I can even feel an honest and sweet
ambience that only belonged to someone basking in his or her Puppy Love here.”
rence didn’t seem to register his words. His eyes were fixed on the nes worn by the models.
He was thinking that Ste would look fine wearing those nes.
Nobody would be more suitable than her in wearing those nes.
rence’s gaze fell upon the ring on the model’s finger. If Ste knew how to hold back and be
obedient, it was not a far-fetched idea to gift her ring too.
After all the models hadpleted their catwalk, he host introduced, “Let us wee the designer of
this “Puppy Love’ Series” from SG Jewellery Magazine, Sharon, with a huge round of apuse.”
After a round of apuse, a silhouette slowly appeared to the front of the stage.
“Hello everyone, my name is Sharon. I am a contract designer working for SG Jewellery Magazine.”
Vincent waspletely shell-shocked, “My God, isn’t that your wife?”
rence’s brows were knitted as he just stared at the stage. He didn’t say anything in response.
Under the lead of the host, Sharon started to share about the philosophy and creation behind this line
of products.
The host asked, “As everyone knows, the main target audience of this “Puppy Love’ Series” is the
youngsters. Then, in your eyes, Miss Sharon, how does Puppy Love feel to you? Or do you have any
wonderful memories about it?”
Ste was in a daze at the moment with her gaze wandering, and she only came back to reality after
being reminded by the host, “In my opinion, Puppy Love feels bittersweet, and sometimes when the
memories resurface, it feels like a wine that has been preserved for a long time. Tasting it when it is
more refined gives you apletely different sensation. I am of the opinion that the memories of
Puppy Love should be well kept at the bottom of the heart. It feels the most wonderful.”
rence who was silent all the time suddenly felt himself calming down. He said with certainty, “She is
showing her love to me.”
Vincent didn’t understand what he was talking about.
rence sounded enthusiastic out of nowhere as he kindly exined, “Besides me, I don’t think she
has another Puppy Love.”
“She is really… making a scene out of it.”
rence lifted the corner of his lips as he watched the stage with interest.
It seemed like she was still a sensible and understanding person since she was able toe up with
such a method to tter him.
At the moment, a member of the media asked following their topic of discussion, “Then, Miss Sharon,
when is your Puppy Love?”
This time, Ste only answered after a period of hesitation, “My university days.”
rence was speechless this time.
Vincent didn’t say anything either but he was eximing in his heart.
Another reporter asked, “Miss Sharon, since you still hold on to his memories after so long, I reckon he
must be someone very outstanding?”
Sherry was shooting stern nces from the audience seats, and the host finally understood that he had
to save Ste out of this awkward situation, “This concerns Miss Sharon’s private matter, so I implore
you not to pry any further. Please aim your questions at matters surrounding the jewellery itself.”

After being steered clear of the previous topic by the host, everyone finally shifted their focus from
Ste’s Puppy Love to the press conference itself.
Among the audience, Annie was gritting her teeth vehemently, “How can it be her? This woman is so
despicable. She has married my cousin, yet she is reminiscing about her Puppy Love!”
When Horace heard that, he immediately spun around and asked, “What did you say?”
“Horace, she is the one I have told you before. She was the one who forced a marriage with my cousin
by faking her pregnancy. Don’t get fooled by her appearance, because she is actually a very scheming
woman. Even my cousin has been toyed with in her hands.”
At one corner, the man who was the subject of deception had a chilly expression on his face. His lips
were tensed, indicating that he was now suppressing his anger.
By rence’s side, Vincent had been trying to notugh out loud.
Just a moment before, rence had just tantly announced, “She is confessing her love to me.”
And the next second, his wife gave him a cold p on his face mercilessly. He finally knew what it was
like to be given a p by reality in the face.
The press conference finally came to a conclusion after some time, and the lighting around the
audience seats lit up to indicate that. Two figures stood up almost simultaneously.
Ste walked to the backstage with a pent-up feeling in her chest. Her stomach felt a little
ufortable too.
She felt like vomiting.
When she had just taken a sip of water, Sherry came over in a hurry, “Sharon, this press conference is
a huge sess. The pre-sales volume is spiking crazily. And the sales volume of those three designs
has just broken the one hundred thousand. It has only been a short while.”
Ste heaved a sigh of relief. The oue was very favourable.
Ste asked, “Is Horace still here?”
The lighting cast on the audience seats was quite dim. She couldn’t make out anything at all.
“I don’t know about that, but I didn’t see him just now. However, I don’t think he will leave just like that.
He usually wille looking for me at the backstage…”
Just as Sherry had just finished her sentence, a long and slender figure appeared at the door.
rence had an unfriendly expression on his face, as if his whole body was shrouded in something
chilly.
Ste and Sherry stared at each other with an inquisitive nce. They were wondering the reason he
had appeared in this ce.
After a few seconds, Sherry noticed that the surrounding temperature suddenly seemed to take a dive.
She could even feel her teeth chatter, “I… Ste, I will wait for you at the door. You guys can have a
good talk.”
After saying that, she fled immediately.
At that time, only the two of them were in the dressing room.
rence’s gaze fell on a few renditions of the jewellery on the table, and he strode towards Ste and
asked, “Don’t you think that you should give me an exnation?”
Ste couldn’tprehend the source of his menacing aura. As she watched him getting closer, she
couldn’t help taking a few steps back. Her back was pressed against the edge of a table, “What… What
kind of exnation?”
rence stopped short in front of him, and then he picked up one of the ne behind her and
gazed at her dangerously, “What do you think?”
