Chapter 19
Ang frowned, “Didn’t you tell them that Heartfall is not for sale!”
as the gown she had designed as a birthday present for Brenda. But she had been too busytely
to pick it up.
Heartfall was
“I did, but the client is Debra from the Jenkins family. She insisted on buying Heartfall, even
iming she could pay ten times the price. I was worried about offending the Jenkins family, an I
wasn’t sure what to do.”
Ang paused for a moment and calmly said. “Tell her she can choose any other dress from our
store for free, except for Heartfall.”
“Okay, I know what to do now
Ending the call, Nicole approached Jennifer and Debra with an apologetic look. “Ms. Jenkins, I’m
so sorry, but the owner has refused to sell Heartfall. As an apology, please feel free to choose any
other gown from our store, and it’ll be on us
Debra was a bit swayed after bearing this. The dresses from Jovelle Fashion were creative in
design, and each was priced at least 200 thousand dors. Before seeing the Heartfall, she had her
eyes on several others.
Debra nced over the dresses she’d been interested in before. Although they were beautiful, they
seemed interior to Heartfall
Just by looking at Heartfall, Debra could imagine how stunning she’d look wearing it at a banquet.
Debra fell silent for a moment, then looked at Nicole with annoyance, “If a dress is on disy, it
should be avable for customers. Otherwise, what’s the point! Who would want to shop here if
someone likes a dress and you suddenly im it’s not for sale!
“I have to say your clothes are great, but it’s not like you are the only option in Lithoria
Nicole managed to smile, but inside, she was growing impatient with Debra’s aggressive attitude.
“Ms. Jenkins, this dress is truly not for sale. Perhaps you could consider looking at our other
selections?”
Debra scoffed, her eyes filled with anger, “What if I insist on this dress!”
Nicole’s smile faded, saying. “Ms. Jenkins, no matter what, this dress is not for sale, I have other
things to do. Please take your time choosing another dress. Just inform the staff when you have
your eyes on it. Excuse me
With that. Nicole turned and left.
Debra was fuming with rage. She red at Nicole’s retreating figure. “You stop right there! Or I’ll
never shop here again. I’ll even rally all my friends in boycott Jovelle Fashion! I mean what I say?“”
Nicole’s face turned cold. She turned back and looked at Debra sternly. “Ms. Jenkins, I’ve already
exined that this dress is not for sale. It was mistakenly disyed. And Tve offered that you can
choose any other dress in the store, and it’s on us,
“But you’ve been persistently unreasonable, and now you’re even threatening to boycott Jovelle
Fashion. We are not looking for trouble and are not afraid of it either. Do as you please!”
Debra’s face instantly turned even grimmer when she heard this just as she was about to speak,
Jennifer grabbed her.
“Ms. Dawson, please don’t be upset. Debra is just overreacting because she loves this dress so
much. Lapologize on her behalf.”
Debra frowned and was about to speak, but Jennifer stopped her with a look.
ast excuse myself.
Nicole spoke calmly. “No need for apologies. It was our fault. Ms. Lewis, please take your time. I
must excuse
After Nicole left, Debra was still displeased and turned to Jennifer. “Jennie, why did you stop me?
She’s just a manager, and yet she dares to be so arrogant in front of me
Jennifer was silent for a moment before speaking sofily. “Debra, you’ve just retumed and might not
realize the standing of Jovelle Fashion in Lithoria. Almost every high–societydy and socialite you
know gets their gowns made at Jovelle Fashion. It wouldn’t be wise for you to offending

them here.”
Debra snorted, “It’s just a clothing brand. What’s so special about it? I don’t believe Jovelle
Fashion is the only option. Even big international brands like Dor and Courmen wouldn’t dare to
be so arrogant
Jennifer didn’t bother to exin much, smiling. “You’ll understandter. Let’s pick out the dresses
first. Didn’t you have your eye on several just
“Butpared to Heartfall, they seem tock something”
“Heartfall is not for sale. We’ll have to settle for the next best thing”

Meanwhile, Ang had just ended the phone call when Brenda looked at her, puzzled. “Is there
something going on with Jovelle Fashion“”
Ang looked somewhat
at helpless. “The dress I had designed and nned to give you for your birthday got put on disy
by a careless new staff. Now, someone likes it and wants to buy it.”
Brenda raised an eyebrow in curiosity. “What kind of dress is it? 1 have a banquet to attend tonight.
Tell Nicole to bring it over, I can wear it to the
Event
“There’s still half a month till your birthday. Let’s talk about it that day. Go back to work now. I need
to review some documents too
Brenda tried to persuade Ang for a bit longer, but it didn’t work, and she reluctantly went back to
her work.
In the evening, just as Ang was about to leave, Keh called her.
I’m downstairs at Empyria Group. When do you finish work?”
Keh’s voice was cold, clearly still upset aboutst night’s incident.
“At five, in about fifteen minutes. If you’re in a hurry, I cane down now”
“No need, I’ll wait for you”
As soon as it was time to leave work, Ang put down her tasks and headed downstairs.
She stepped out of Empyria Group and saw a ck Maybach parked at the roadside.
She approached the car, opened the door, and sat down, feeling chill.
Keh was focusing on the documents in his hands as he instructed the driver to start the car
without looking up.
The two remained silent throughout the drive to Lewis Manor, Just as the car was about to stop,
Ang turned to Keh and said, “If anyone asks why I came in your car, just say it was on your
way, and Jennifer asked you to pick me up
Keh frowned and looked at Ang, “Am I that disgraceful to be seen with?”
“We have been secretly married for three years, and now we’re on the brink of divorce. There’s no
need to let others know we were ever married” Keh sneered with a mocking tone. “Are y
you afraid it’ll ruin your chances of finding someone new!”
Ang was a bit surprised, but she spoke emotionlessly. Tim d you understand.”
She turned to open the door and get out, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed and yanked back,
causing her to fall into Keh’s arms. Ang furrowed her brow and was about to push Keh
away when he coldly said, “Ang, you really are testing my patience over and over again!”
Outside the car, the Lewis family had heard Keh was here, and everyone came out to wee
him.
Robert was standing at the forefront, smiling snugly.
The fact that Keh came to his birthday party today was a significant honor for him and the
Lewis family, offering a perfect opportunity to put those scheming against the Lewis family in their
ce.
Karen was also full of pride. If it weren’t for Jennifer, Keh wouldn’t havee. It was all thanks
to her raising such a wonderful daughter.
But as everyone waited a few minutes without Keh stepping out of the car, a sense of unease
grew.
The guests had witnessed the grand reception by the Lewis family and came out to join, but now
they started to murmur among themselves as Keh hadn’t shown up.
“What’s going on? Is Mr. Sinir noting today?”
Tbet the Lewis family must have offended Mr. Sinir somehow, so he’s deliberately staying in the
cart
“But they said that Mr. Sinir likes Jennifer, right! Even if the Lewis family upset him, couldn’t
Jennifer just sweet–talk him! Maybe Jennifer had a fight with Mr. Sinir, and now he’s waiting for
her to personally ask him to get out of the car!”
The inurmurs of the crowd reached the ears of the Lewis family. Robert couldn’t help but look at
Jennifer.
“Jeanie, why don’t you invite Mr. Sinir toe out of the car?”
