The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet)
Chapter 1309 A Solid Chance at Outperformin...

Vivi had never encountered a person so ungrateful. Despite her generous offer to collaborate for free, Janet remained unappreciative of her efforts.

If it weren't for the fact that Janet belonged to the esteemed White family, and that establishing a relationship with her could potentially open doors to marrying into a highly affluent household, Vivi wouldn't have bothered dealing with such a worthless young lady.

Furious, Vivi stormed into the restroom, seething with anger. Moments later, she called a friend to vent her frustrations about Janet.

"That girl from the White family, Janet, is simply clueless. She has no understanding of the significance of marketing whatsoever. She even rejected my offer of free promotion. It's clear that she's pretending to be someone she's not. Perhaps even her reputation as a brilliant designer is nothing more than a facade."

As Vivi spoke, her anger intensified, and her words turned more venomous. "Her so-called studio is just a waste of money and a frivolous endeavor. There's absolutely no chance of her ever succeeding! If it weren't for the backing of the White family and Brandon Larson, she would be nothing but a miserable bitch!"

No sooner had the words left Vivi's mouth than the restroom door was forcefully kicked open with a resounding thud, startling her.

Her gaze turned towards the person who'd just kicked the door, and suddenly her delicate face became pale and awash with fear.

"Statements like that should be based on facts!" Mandy's haughty voice echoed through the restroom. "What's wrong with a designer choosing not to work with models who don't align with their style? It's just that you two couldn't come to an agreement on a collaboration. Is it really necessary to slander Janet behind her back like this?"

Upon entering the washroom to wash her hands, she'd heard Vivi gossiping incessantly about Janet, saying negative things about her.

Despite harboring her own dislike for Janet, hearing this woman spew foul language and relentlessly slander Janet-smearing her in every possible way-made Mandy feel inexplicably angry.

The fact that Janet could become her competitor was enough proof of her capabilities. This woman's slander towards Janet, therefore, felt like a direct attack on her and the fashion industry at large. Perhaps that was the reason for her displeasure and anger in that moment.

Mandy managed to replace a reasonable justification for her reaction in her thoughts.

Since Vivi was acquainted with Janet, she naturally recognized Mandy as well. In addition to being a talented designer, Mandy hailed from a diplomatic family. Her clients mainly comprised of high-society elites and affluent young women.

Vivi quickly had a change of heart and offered an apology, saying, "Forgive me. I'm not well-versed in the intricacies of the fashion industry and wasn't aware that designers had to select models based on their styles. I shouldn't have allowed my emotions to get the better of me and criticize a designer like that."

Mandy crossed her arms, lifted her chin and let out an arrogant snort.

Given Vivi's penitent demeanor and tone, Mandy decided to let the matter go and not dwell on it any further.

Vivi smiled awkwardly in an attempt to appease Mandy. "Miss Hamilton, I've heard that you're well-known in the fashion industry for your luxurious and refined style. I believe I'd be a good fit for that kind of aesthetic. Would you consider allowing me to model for you, free of charge?"

As she assessed Vivi's looks and physique, Mandy couldn't help but be intrigued.

Despite replaceing her irritating, it was impossible to ignore the fact that Vivi's stunning looks and well-proportioned figure aligned perfectly with her design style.

Furthermore, Vivi already had substantial fan base, and many of her fans were likely to be potential clients for Mandy's designs.

If she designed a luxurious and elegant dress and paired it with Vivi's large following, the promotion effectiveness would undoubtedly be outstanding. By capitalizing on their individual strengths, they had a good chance of overtaking Janet in the industry.

As these thoughts raced through her mind, Mandy hesitated and asked, "Are you sure that you can bring me enough popularity?"

Vivi raised her chin confidently and asserted, "Absolutely. Although I'm not a big celebrity, I'm one of the most popular influencers on social media. Topping the trending topics is a breeze for me."

As soon as Mandy heard Vivi boasting, a strong sense of dislike surged within her.

Vivi was merely a small Internet celebrity, yet she thought of herself as a big star.

Contemplating on the potential popularity that Vivi could bring her, Mandy hesitated for a few seconds before clenching her teeth and reluctantly agreeing, "Fine, we can work together. I hope you won't disappoint me."

Vivi smiled and reassured her, "Not at all, Miss Hamilton. You can rest assured. The result of our

collaboration will definitely meet your expectations." Mandy cast an indifferent glance at Vivi, snorted dismissively, and then turned around and left without uttering another word.

No matter how she rationalized the situation, one thing was clear-she had a strong dislike for Vivi. Whether due to her own ethics or personality, she found Vivi to be a hundred times more detestable than Janet.

If it weren't for her desire to surpass Janet, she wouldn't have bothered to work with a woman like Vivi, who lacked morals and principles.

Just this once. Once she triumphed over Janet, she would never have anything to do with Vivi again.
