Chapter 171
“Miss Megan Yard, did you do it for the sake of marrying Mr. Lake? May I ask if it was because oftrue love? Or was it because you wished to marry into a wealthy family?”
“Miss Megan Yard, how’s your married life with Mr. Lake? Since Miss Selena Yard is so successfulnow, does Mr. Lake regret his decision now?”
Now that she was being surrounded by the reporters, Megan could hardly handle the bombardmentof questions.
“No, it’s not like that. Stop your nonsense!” Megan yelled. She covered her ears and tried to getaway from the reporters, but she couldn’t.
Knowing that there were a lot of reporters waiting outside, Selena chose a less noticeable car andcoincidentally, she saw what happened to Megan.
“Haha… Such a relief! Serves that witch right! What goes around comes around indeed!” Lindacheered and clapped her hands.
“Let’s go!” Selena said expressionlessly.
The next day, without altering the truth, the newspaper reported exactly what had happenedthroughout the press conference. It was a live broadcast after all, so the reporters couldn’t possiblyexaggerate or make up stories. The news had acknowledged Selena’s reputation of being aninspirational woman. On the other hand, Megan’s previous scandals were exposed by the reporters,and all of it was published in the newspapers.
In the next two days, Selena and Pierre continued to ignore one another and neither took theinitiative to contact the other. Annoyed, Selena was at a loss as she sat at her office desk. Even
though she kept checking her phone, she noticed there were still no messages from Pierre, so shechucked her phone into the drawer.
“President Yard, about tomorrow’s fashion show, what do you plan on wearing?” Linda asked as shewalked in the office.
If Linda hadn’t reminded her, Selena would have totally forgotten that the fashion show wasscheduled two days after the press conference, so the next day was already the day for the fashionshow of CiCi.
“I think it’ll be more appropriate if we stick with a professional corporate outfit, since everyone ispraising you for being such an inspirational woman. How does that sound?”
Feeling a little blue, Selena laid her head on the desk, and all of a sudden, she spotted a name onthe guestlist—Meredith Yard.
Sitting up abruptly, Selena said, “Why should I wear a corporate outfit?! I’ll dress up to the nines andbe the prettiest of them all!”
“But…”
“No buts! You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll arrange everything myself.”
Unsurprisingly, the CiCi fashion show became quite a viral topic recently all thanks to Megan forcreating such a scene; the press conference had undoubtedly given CiCi the required mediacoverage.
Being the special guest of the day, Meredith wore a vintage style evening gown. The uniqueembroidery design was done based on Astoria’s famous traditional embroidery workmanship.Overall, the evening gown accentuated her fine bodyline. While standing in front of the mirror,Meredith enjoyed admiring her own beauty and perfect bodyline.
“Merry, you look absolutely stunning! I’m confident that you’ll be the prettiest of all tonight! Trust me,your pictures will be one of the most retweeted pictures of the day! I can almost imagine thereporters showering you with praises already!” Landy exclaimed as she stood aside with her eyessparkling with admiration.novelbin
“Something is still missing,” said Meredith. Reaching out to touch her own wrist, she felt that sheseemed to be missing an accessory.
“You’re right! If we have a jade bracelet to match your gown, it would be perfect! But where to get ajade bracelet?”
As she admired herself in the mirror, Meredith grinned. “Someone will send it over later.”
Just a while ago, she had sent a text message to Pierre and urged him to bring over a bracelet.Probably just a while later, Pierre would bring along the bracelet with him.
For the past few days, the Internet was flooded with updates about the origin of this particularbracelet. There was also an update about a wealthy businessman who purchased the bracelet at aprice of 110 million during an auction. Rumors had it that the businessman was about to present it tohis fiancée.
