Surprise flitted across their faces when the two locked gazes.
Christina had not expected to meet Elizabeth under such circumstances. Not bothering to conceal the
disdain in her eyes, she said, “It was me.”
“What do you know? I was the one who made the designs. Moreover, I’ve won an award for fashion
design before. What right do you, a designer who hasn’t seen much of the world, have to critique my
work?” Elizabeth retorted.
Anger simmered in the depths of Elizabeth’s eyes. She had chosen this path precisely because
Christina. was a designer. She wanted to beat the latter at her own game.
it was the most brutal method she could think of to exact retribution.
Elizabeth wanted to shame Christina so badly that the latter would be too afraid to show her face in
public again!
tanistina scoffed and replied. “You should have some self-awareness. You can’t just use someone
else’s De designs and try to pass them off as your own. Moreover, adding retro elements to a punk
design is akin to
mising random elements and turning them into a chimera. It has no sense of cohesiveness at all

the one on the receiving end,”
Even if Elizabeth wanted to invest in her, she had no intentions of working with such a tasteless brand.
Elizabeth was so livid that she could barely breathe. She tugged at Francis’ clothes, demanding. “Fire
this stylist immediately! I’ll leave if you refuse to do so!”
She did not invest a hundred million only to be insulted like this.
Christina arched her brow coolly. “Agreed. Sacking me to keep the investment is a wise decision.”
Languidly, Francis clasped his hands before his chest. “I wasted a lot of effort to hire Christina. I am not
going to fire her.”
“Francis, do you understand what you’re saying?” Elizabeth thought her ears were playing tricks on her.
Francis’ eyes were calm as he responded, “Yes. My stylist deemed your clothing unfit for me to wear.
Hence, this is where our cooperation ends. Please leave.”
He had just rejected an investment of a hundred million!
The staff was flabbergasted. Although they knew what the investment meant to Francis, it was a
completely different matter whether he rejected it for personal reasons or if he rejected it because of
Christina.
Elizabeth clenched her fists tightly, imagining crushing Christina between her hands. She would not
feel. appeased until she had utterly crushed the latter. “Previously, it was Mr. Hadley, and now it’s
Francis. Christina, you’re quite a willy one. Just you wait!”
After shooting Christina one last glare, she turned around and flounced out angrily.
Francis reached out and gently cupped Christina’s jaw, his fingertips massaging her tender skin
playfully. Shocked, Christina instinctively slapped the man’s inappropriate touch away.
“Since you drove my female companion away, shouldn’t you compensate me by taking her place?”
Francis smiled faintly.
Christina’s lips twitched faintly as she belatedly realized his motives. So that’s why Francis stood on my
side. Out of the frying pan into the fire… “Your new female companion is only a phone call away. It
doesn’t have to be me.”
Francis stared at her with mesmerizing yet cold eyes. It was as if he intended to completely submerge
her into his gaze. “The show is about to start. If you can convince Ms. Bennett to come back, I’ll let you
off.”
Christina knew that was a futile endeavor. There’s no way I would beg Elizabeth for anything.
“The event begins in two hours. Hurry, get your outfit and makeup on.” Without giving her time to think
it over, Francis dragged her into the dressing room.
Inside, the racks were filled with the season’s latest designs. It was not difficult to come up with two
looks from the selection available.
Christina sighed softly, feeling as if she was being forced into a corner.
What had appeared to be a simple job took way more time than it looked. Christina’s head spun as she
hurried to get ready her makeup and clothing.
Meanwhile, the sound of a Maybach could be heard outside the exhibition’s entrance at eight o’clock.
The temperature in the car was cold as its air conditioning was blasting at full power. With a tablet in his
hand, Nathaniel sat in the backseat while going over some work documents. Since he knew that
Christina was currently at work, he made no attempt to call her.
Prior to this, they had agreed that she would call him if she could not make it.
Seated in the passenger seat, Sebastian went over Nathaniel’s schedule on his own tablet. The next
thing he knew, half an hour had passed.
It was the first time Sebastian had seen Nathaniel waiting for someone so patiently.
What on earth is Mrs. Hadley doing? Why isn’t she calling if she can’t make it?
All of a sudden, several headlines popped up on the tablet screen. They all discussed Francis’
matching outfit with his companion on the red carpet. Many of the consecutive comments were all
about the same topic.
Sebastian tapped in, and the images that caught his eye immediately made him feel as if he had seen
a ghost.
Christina and Francis were photographed together, and they both wore outfits that had similar colors
and designs. It was no wonder the headlines were hailing them as matching outfits.
The two of them were similar in age, and their auras complimented each other. Hence, they looked
good together.
Sebastian sucked in a cold breath. So, Mrs. Hadley is currently with Francis, and yet poor Mr. Hadley is
here, waiting for her like a fool. How can she do such an awful thing?
After composing his emotions, Sebastian turned around and stammered, “Mr. Hadley, Mrs. Hadley may
be swamped with work. Should we go back?”
Pausing the work at hand, Nathaniel checked the time and saw that it was already nine o’clock at night.
He checked his phone again, but there were no new messages.
Sebastian hesitated for a moment before adding. “The exhibition will still be on tomorrow. Shall I book
two new tickets?”
Without bothering to reply, Nathaniel immediately called Christina. The phone rang twice, but no one
picked up.
As Nathaniel put away his phone, his gaze was attracted by the trending headlines, thus prompting him
to tap in.
Instantly, the expression on that handsome face turned thunderous. Through gritted teeth, he uttered.
“Let’s go.”
