Chapter 232


    The thought of those mortgaged contracts suddenly hit me, and I hurriedly spun on my heels towards


    the study. I found the key and opened the safe, only to find it empty. Just as I had suspected, the


    contracts were indeed gone.


    For good measure, I rang up my friend who worked at the bank to double-check things for me. She told


    me that the repayment process was actually set in motion a week ago, and the final procedures were


    justpleted yesterday.


    I asked her to keep a special eye on my ount and notify me immediately of any activity. Having dealt


    with banks multiple times, I knew their procedures well. Large transactions needed appointments, so


    there would be enough time to prepare.


    She told me that each bank had its own rules, and her bank recently introduced a new one. Customers


    who had just repaid their mortgage needed to wait a full payment cycle before they could apply for


    another one.


    So, there would be no new mortgages in the near future!


    Upon hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief. The wait would be stress-free for me, and I wouldn''t give


    Jan any chance to act.


    When I returned downstairs, I found the new ss installed. My heart lightened.


    I checked the time and called Catherine, asking her if she was going to the celebration party tonight.


    "Of course, I''m going! I can''t miss such a big event. I just got thepany''s invitation to dress up and


    show up," she replied immediately.


    I chuckled, "Then I am heading to the salon, do you want to join?"


    "Absolutely! Who will entertain you if I''m not there? I need to cover you in case something happens!"


    She replied, teasingly. "Which one? Mane Event?"


    I nodded in agreement. Catherine was always the best wing woman for things I couldn''t handle myself.


    "Alright, I''ll book it now, and then head out with Hannah!" I replied.


    "Sounds good! I''lle straight from the hospital!" Catherine hung up after that.


    As regr customers and premium members of Mane Event, we were greeted by professional stylists


    upon arrival.


    I had my short hair trimmed and got my makeup done to match my champagne-colored dress.


    Catherine arrived before I was even done.


    She gave me an appraising look and pointed at my dress, "You''re the bossdy, aren''t you dressing a


    bit too in?"


    I looked at myself in the mirror and retorted, "in? Does a bossdy need to be all mmed up? I


    prefer to keep it simple, since I''m not fighting for attention."


    Bob, the stylist, chuckled at my response. When I gave him a look, he quickly covered up hisughter.


    "Champagne is a color of elegance. Its understated luxury suits yourplexion perfectly. Combined


    with your chic short hair, it''s definitely a fashion-forward look."


    I smirked, "You guys are too sweet. This dress is something I bought a while ago. I was in a rush today


    and didn''t have time to shop. I''m just showing up, why should I dress up like a peacock?"


    Catherine snorted, "Well, you never know. Your husband Dawslug has his own fan club, you think you


    can keep a low profile?"


    I red at her through the mirror and she quickly shut up, realizing her slip.


    Catherine is like my other half, always speaking her mind. The fact is, most people in the beauty


    industry knew Jan.


    He was a model example of a sessful transformation and rapid rise, a famous figure in the


    Goldenvale Town beauty industry. Everyone knew his Cindere story of marrying me and his sudden


    rise to fortune. It was the hottest gossip among them.


    Many were envious of his good luck, feeling off-bnce whenever they saw him. Jan was always

    proud of his story, and whenever he came to the salon, he was dressed in his finest - as if he was


    about to walk the runway at Fashion Week.
