Chapter 1587The salesperson attending to Kayla quickly handed her another brochure, "Here are more of our designs, Ms. Wilson. r»Kayla took the booklet and flipped through a few pages.
Before she could speak, the woman who had come with her said, "Honestly, | don't see much of a difference. Ever since theychanged the management here, the aesthetics of the products have declined."
The group of ladies had gathered nearby for a meal. Since the incident at the banquet, Kayla had not attended such socialitegatherings in ages, which had everyone concerned. They were worried that Kayla might hold a grudge against Xianna, whichwould affect their family's businesses. After all, they were in a joint partnership and still had to collaborate with Mark Energy.
They finally managed to coax her out to socialize today.
However, they had not been together for long when Kayla suddenly expressed interest in checking out some jewelry. She evenasked if they wanted to join her.
The socialites were already hoping to mend their ties with Kayla, so they eagerly agreed.
The club where the gathering was held was just across Galaxy Avenue. The group began to speculate when they walked overand saw The Velvet.
One of the girls' parents was on good terms with Mark. She had been invited to visit the Wilson family not too long ago.
After she returned, she mentioned in the group that Stella seemed quite eager to befriend Kayla. She would often send gifts tothe Wilson family's heiress, but Kayla did not pay much attention to her and even found her annoying.
Everyone knew that Kayla had a good relationship with Jaylene. Since Stella reunited with the Saun family, Jaylene hadnoticeably been neglected by them.
Furthermore, it was common knowledge that Darcie wanted to hand over The Velvet to Jaylene. Now that Stella was running thestore, many people wondered if she had snatched over the rights for herself.novelbin
If that was the case, it was only natural for Kayla to come to her store and avenge Jaylene.
"No wonder she called us over to look at jewelry. She must want to embarrass Stella."
Assuming so, the others quickly followed suit.
"This design is just too plain, don't you think? It's far worse from what it used to be."
"Sure, Barbara's professional conduct might not be topnotch, but she used to have quite a few noteworthy pieces. Now that she'sgone, no one can take charge of the designs."
"They should've let professionals handle the business and not someone who knows nothing about jewelry."
Stella heard all of the belittling remarks made by the group. Many have cast their doubts when she took over the business.Hence, she had long grown immune to their comments. However, she did feel somewhat uneasy seeing Kayla walk in with thegroup of socialites.
Stella had been desperate to do business with Kayla, but that desire had waned a bit. When she sent those items to Kayla, itwas not just out of self-interest. She also hoped that she would become better. Their similar experiences made her easilyempathize with Kayla's situation among those socialites. But it seemed that empathy was not what Kayla was after.
Stella lifted her gaze and donned her usual smile. She was about to extend a greeting when Kayla abruptly stood up and calledout to the person behind her, "I didn't expect to see you here, Mrs. Saun."
Stella immediately shut her mouth. She watched as Kayla walked past her to Darcie and said with a smile, "It's been ages sincewe last crossed paths. You look younger and prettier than the last time we met."
