Chapter 234


    “Carousel?”


    Andrew turned around and started writing on the whiteboard beside him and said, “Many years ago, the


    reputation of the Carousel Group’s clothingpany turned sour because it used unqualified fabrics.


    After that, the entire business was liquidated due to bankruptcy. Later, they wanted to do the clothing


    business again. Because their reputation was ruined, they came up with such a name that seemed to


    have nothing to do with the group.”


    In actuality, they did it to mislead people and give the impression that they were unrted to the group.


    In addition, customers wouldn’t consider the brand’s source before making a purchase.


    After recognizing this, Carousel Group changed the name of the newpany to make it more well-


    known in the garment market.


    Honestly, Anna wouldn’t have realized it if Andrew hadn’t talked about it. Otherwise, she would have


    assumed that White was some type of obscure business.


    “I’ll sue them even though they are a part of the Carousel Group. You know, I at least want them to


    know they can’t mess with us.” Anna said with a frown.


    Anna thought, I don‘t even care if thispany has something to do with Wayne / didn‘t expect that a


    big group like them would set up a lousy clothingpany just to get profits.


    Andrew raised his eyebrows without saying anything. Then, he added, “Okay, whatever. We won’t


    produce that series of clothes anyway. So, they can only copy our outdated styles.”


    Andrew was obviously not bothered about copying. In fact, Anna understood why he thought so. As an


    exceptional and unique designer, Andrew didn’t want to spend his energy arguing with others.


    However, it didn’t mean that Anna could tolerate their behavior. After that, Anna sent her assistant to


    findwyers and send legal letters to thosepanies, including White.


    Anna flew to Seriel City on Friday night to attend a business banquet.


    She came to the party since the general manager of the Joan Group was present. Thatpany was


    going to customize staff uniforms, and he was in charge of it. Anna might bring arge order worth tens


    of millions of dors to herpany if her bid were epted. Additionally, since Lemon had just


    started, it would be very beneficial for it to open the market.


    People working in leading clothingpanies in Seriel City and Birmingham gathered at that cocktail


    party.


    Carrie Brown, the chief editor of the Seriel City-based fashion magazine “W,” extended the invitation to


    Anna. She was introduced to Carrie by Jasper while they were in


    Birmingham, which was how she came to know her.


    Carrie struck Anna as a forthright, strong, and utterly elite woman. She said, “Oh, I’ve always been


    grateful to Mr. Thomas because he had helped me with my career. I had known he was married, but I


    didn’t expect his wife to be so young.”


    Anna smiled and didn’t tell Carrie the truth about her marriage to Jasper. She didn’t want to talk to


    anyone about the truth of their marriage because she really couldn’t exin it clearly.


    Carrie led Anna around the hall and introduced her to many people. Afterward, she introduced her to


    Mr. Gilbert, the manager of the Joan Group.


    “Mr. Gilbert, this is Miss Gabriel, the president of Lemon Clothing. I mentioned her on the phone with


    you the other day.”


    Anna extended her hand to him and said, “Mr. Gilbert, Nice to meet you. I’m Anna Gabriel.”


    “Hello.” Mr. Gilbert shook her hand politely.


    Anna thought that Carrie had obviously introduced her to Mr. Gilbert before. Otherwise, he would have


    asked what kind ofpany Lemon was as he had never heard of it.


    “Mr. Gilbert, I think it’s a little noisy here. Why don’t we go over there for a talk?”


    Anna offered to talk to Mr. Gilbert. They were all business people, so no one came to the party to rx.


    Since all they cared about was business, she thought she’d better cut to the chase.


    Mr. Gilbert agreed immediately. Then, the three of them walked together to the lounge of the banquet


    hall.


    Meanwhile, a beautiful woman in the corner of the banquet hall was holding a ss of champagne and


    looking at Anna thoughtfully. Her beautiful eyes were full of gloomy emotions.


    “Hey, Ada, are you alone? Don’t you have anyone to keep youpany?” She heard a man say to her.


    Ada looked up at that man and saw that it was Gerard Jacobs, the notorious yboy of Seriel City. For


    the past few years, Gerard had been attempting to get her attention and bought her some pricey


    presents.


    He constantly flirted withdies, though, so Ada didn’t fall in love with him. Moreover, she couldn’t get


    Wayne out of her mind. She would, therefore, only spend time with him when she was bored.


    Gerald just so happened to show up right when she was bing bored. Actually, it was Gerard who


    invited her to this party. She came here because she had nothing to do after recently finishing a


    commercial shoot in this city.


    Ada grinned and answered, “Yeah. Let me tell you, someone invited me here to be his date. But, as the


    party just started, he ditched me and flirted with other women. So, I’m just sitting here alone.”


    “Hey! Only an i***t would do such a thing! Nobody at the party is more attractive than you, Ada!” To


    make her pleased, Gerardplimented her and even cursed himself.


    Ada quicklyughed and pointed in the direction of the distance, “I find that woman over there to be


    incredibly attractive. She’s as beautiful as I am, isn’t she?”


    “How can that be!” Gerard said. But the moment he saw Anna, he couldn’t take his eyes off her.


    If Ada was a block of ice, then that woman wearing a burgundy outfit was unquestionably a zing fire.


    She had her long, curly hair cascading over her shoulders, looking elegant and stunning.

    Gerard thought to himself, Wow! What a beauty! She must be that boss‘s lover!


    Ada remarked teasingly yet somberly, “Hey! Why do you keep staring at her? You think you‘re an


    attractive man, don’t you? If you like her, you can definitely go get her.”


    As soon as Gerard came back to his senses, he shook his head and remarked, “Oh, forget it, I don’t


    dare to mess with her. She’s with Mr. Gilbert, the manager of the Joan Group. So, I’d better stay away


    from her.”


    Ada pretended to be perplexed as she spoke, “Oh, no! Her name is Anna, and I know her. Do you see


    another woman over there? She’s Carrie, the editor-in-chief of W, and she was the one who invited


    Anna. I think Carrie introduced them to each other and wanted them to work together. So, they might


    have never met before.”


    “Oh! I see. She’s a businesswoman? What kind of business she’s doing?”


    “She just opened a clothingpany. Actually, Anna is Wayne’s ex-girlfriend, and she started her own


    company after she broke up with him. Not only is she has many financial connections. Honestly, I think


    you guys are a good match.”


    Gerard found Ada’spliment ttering and couldn’t help but continue to stare at Anna. He said,


    “What? She’s Wayne Wright’s ex? Hey, I remember you dated him too. So, you two are rivals in love!


    You want me to get back at her for you, don’t you?”


    Ada took a casual sip of wine and said, “What? Of course not! Wayne and I haven’t spoken in a while.


    She and I had a problem with each other, but I would prefer you to have a good time tonight rather than


    get back at her.”


    Gerard loved to beplimented, so he was delighted after hearing Ada praise him. He said, “Thank


    you for thinking about me. Well, don’t worry, I’ll definitely get back at her for you while I have some fun


    with her.”
