to network and to learn.Chloe had come to the fashion event today not only to network and learn, but also to avoid. flaunting her wealth.

First, to be interviewed by the media and solemnly respond to the matter of intercepting Sawle Group, thereby demonstrating her attitude and preventing any further speculation.

Second, to send gifts to Ada Wang openly, while secretly monitoring Skyler and controlling the situation to ensure the wicked girl had no opportunities.

At the moment, Ada Wang arrived accompanied by a middle-aged man wearing a tall, brown suit, who had an imposing presence.

“President Thorp, let me introduce you.”

“This is Mr. Axel, the president of the global brand of AX Jewelry, and a close friend of mine,” Ada Wang introduced. “Vincent, this is Miss Chloe, the general manager of KS WORLD Hotel – a very talented young woman!”

Axel, a native of Puplen with blonde hair, blue eyes, and royal blood, was born and bred.

Having an English name, he came to Medo and, liking the Eastern culture, gave himself an Eastern name: Axel.

“Greetings, Mr. Axel! It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Welcome to Medo!”

Chloe’s lips curved into a smile, her red lips rising, and she extended her graceful, beautiful hand to Axel.

“Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miss Chloe. We are delighted that you are able to join us for the AX brand’s show.” Axel spoke in fluent East Chinese as he shook her hand.

Ada Wang glanced from Axel to Chloe, sensing an odd atmosphere.

It was the first time they had seen each other, yet Axel seemed to know Chloe as if they had met before. Why did it feel that way?

The

reporters were also taken aback!

Mr. Axel, of noble status and royal blood, was arrogant and proud. Yet, facing Chloe, he was gentle with warm smile as if he had seen his own daughter.

Miss Thorp was not merely simple; her beauty and elegance made her a favorite among men, of course.

“Miss Thorp, what a surprise! I didn’t think I’d run into you here.”

Zoey, proud as a swan, walked over to Chloe, holding a gorgeous tug-of-war dress.

Her eyes, black and crystal-like, were curved, and two deep dimples graced her cheeks. Sweetly smiling, she seemed like an angel, innocent and unaware of the world.

Chloe’s beautiful eyes narrowed, her sharp and cold gaze calmly sweeping towards Zoey.

The next second, Chloe completely disregarded the Anderson family’s daughter. Instead, she beamed at Axel and Ada Wang and said, “Let’s go over there and chat, you two!”

Zoey was cruelly ignored, her anger causing her eyes to redden and her body to grow cold.

How could Chloe dare to look down on her brother Vincent like this?!

Axel and Ada Wang had the same thought in mind. Just as the trio were about to depart, Zoey suddenly put on a false grin and declared, “Miss Thorp’s jewelry set today is really stunning. The blend of pigeon blood and rose gold isn’t trite at all. I was drawn to your jewelry from afar.”

As soon as Chloe spoke, all eyes were on her.

“Thank you for the compliment,” Chloe said calmly.

“But I reckon… the jewelry you’re wearing shouldn’t be from an AX brand, should it?” Zoey’s eyes were icy as she divulged

the truth.

Everyone took a closer look, and sure enough!

Although the Thorp family’s jewelry was beautiful, those knowledgeable in jewelry could tell it was not of AX brand.

This not only violated the big taboo of the AX brand, but it was done right in front of its president, Axell “Today is the big show of AX brand, but Miss Thorp is wearing jewelry from other brands. This… is not appropriate.”

Zoey raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of ridicule, “Miss Thorp, with your standing, relying on Sea Gate and KS Group, it should not be hard for you to comply and show deference to the brand. After all, you’re here to take part in someone else’s show.”

“Could it be that Miss Thorp declared the jewelry she was wearing was her own brand and sought to use this AX brand show to promote her own wares?”

“Wow… as expected of a powerful woman who bested Mr. Sawle. She certainly knows her way around business and sales!”

This wave of sarcasm, ridicule, and mockery was strong enough to keep it in place.

The reporters whispered amongst themselves and cast glances at Chloe.

“As the daughter of KS Group,” don’t you get that you have to abide by the rules of the martial world?

“How can I not comprehend? Perhaps she’s just trying to capitalize on this. Unfortunately, the tactics of the women in this industry are still somewhat unsavory. Maybe she won over Mr. Sawle last time and gained Ada Wang’s confidence. She also employed some dishonorable methods!”

“Gosh… I used to look up to Miss Thorp. But now I realize she’s quite contemptible and audacious.”

Zoey’s lips curled up involuntarily, as if she had just reclaimed a city!

Chloe, your arrogance is too much!

No matter what you say, I will not let you will tell you the truth.

What Zoey was unaware of was that.

arrogance stand. The best way to do this is to challenge your integrity. Today, I

Joseph had witnessed everything she had said and done!

The man, keeping a low profile, stood in the dark, his cold stare fixed on the smug Zoey.

He was tall and handsome, like a god, his muscles tightly wrapped in a suit, strong and hard, and his handsome face exuding an air of gloom.

“Mr. Sawle,” Max exclaimed anxiously, “Young Madam was being bullied by that girl!”

Joseph pursed his lips tightly.

He leaned forward, his eyes darkening, before halting again.

“Wait a little longer.”

“Wait?” Max’s eyes widened in confusion.

“She’s no ordinary woman; she’s Chloe, the young miss of the Thorp family. There must be a way.”

Joseph narrowed his eyes and his lips curled into a tender smile, though he himself was unaware of it. “Even if there’s no other way, I’m still here for her.”

Max was stunned, his chest throbbing, as he stared in disbelief at Joseph’s cold, superior side profile.

“After all, she has been my partner. No one can mistreat her except me. End of story.”

Good friend! Was this still the same cold president he knew?

Was the world warming again? Was the ice mountain in the South Pole going to melt due to this change?

It was a pity that she didn’t

get

to see the young madam!

On this side, the wind shifted direction.

Chloe’s wearing of inappropriate jewelry drew criticism, for it was not only a disservice to the brand’s reputation, but also a violation of the rules.

Skyler, having been hiding behind Zoey, now took the opportunity to gloat.

Chloe watched Zoey’s tricks with a calm gaze, her steady eyes making Zoey feel uneasy.

She looked forward to seeing panic, embarrassment, and helplessness, yet she saw none.

She was utterly despondent.

“This lady.”

At this moment, Axel, who had been silent all this while, said with a smirk, “I see that what you’re wearing is the ‘Forever Bloom Flower’ series, which is limited to only ten sets in the AX world.”

“Yes, President Axel, I’m quite fond of AX’s jewelry, and this series is my favorite!”

Upon seeing that she was the focus of the president of AX, Zoey’s eyes lit up and her heart raced.

“If, as you said, you love this series very much, then you should know that the original design inspiration for AX’s ‘Forever Bloom Flower’ jewelry series comes from the ‘Sea of Desire Rose’ of renowned international jewelry designer Alexa.”

As he spoke, Axel cast a fleeting glance at the golden rose adorning Chloe’s left ear.

From Joseph’s perspective, this gaze was somewhat ambiguous.

Seeing Chloe being stared at by another man, his thin lips so thin they were white, he felt an indescribable suffocation in his heart.

“Miss Thorp was wearing the ‘Sea of Desire Rose’ jewelry set designed by Alexa today. Without this set, there would be no ‘Forever Bloom Flower’ series that is so popular today.”
