Chapter 196

Ivy had been spoiled since she was a child. She always said what he wanted and never cared about others‘ feelings.

She was protected by Alfred and Philip when she entered the showbiz. Everyone spoiled her, whether it was her agent, co director, producer, or actors in the same play.

No matter whether those people were sincere or not, they treated her very well on the surface.

Therefore, Ivy had never experienced any bad treatment. She could get whatever she liked and didn’t have to force herself if she disliked it.

At that moment, Ivy was very unhappy when she saw Naomi holding Shawn’s arm, chatting and laughing, while Alfred and Jessie were clearly being ridiculed in front of them.

“Mommy, Daddy, tell Alfred not to cooperate with Shawn,” said Ivy.

Ivy took Lesley’s arm. “Alfred has been obsessed with Naomi recently. He often pays attention to Naomi’s every move. He makes a lot of concessions when he cooperates with Shawn.

“And Jessie, she almost walks all over me.

“Forget about Naomi, but Jessie is nothing.”

Lesley listened to her complaints and saw Alfred’s exaggerated reaction. She couldn’t help but frown, “Alfred really didn’t perform well recently, but he has his own considerations when doing things. Jessie is competent and has a sense of propriety. We can rest assured that she is by Alfred’s side.

“Does Alfred like Ms. Edwards?”

Lesley stared in the direction over there. “Go and have a look with me.”

Lesley pulled Ivy and walked in the direction of Shawn and Naomi. When they came near, Ivy snorted coldly and she rolled her eyes hard.

Shawn pulled Naomi back quickly with disgust in his eyes.

“Naomi, this is Mrs. Edwards,” Jessie introduced her. “Since you know Ms. Ivy Gibson, I won’t introduce you.”

“Nice to meet you, Mrs. Edwards and Ms. Gibson,” Naomi greeted them with a smile. Shawn looked at Lesley up and down without saying anything.

Except for Naomi, Shawn kept his distance from all the women,

Rodney also came over. They all knew Shawn’s quirks, but his olivious disgust for Lesley and Ivy still made the Edwardst family unhappy.

Philip and Lily were talking with others in another corner. Lily held a glass of champagne with a smile on her face. She didn’t like such an occasion at all, feeling that her face was about to stiff with laughter.

“Philip, I’m going to replace a friend over there.” When Lily saw Jessie and Naomi together, she immediately wanted to run to

them.

Philip nodded and said, “Go ahead.”

“Thank you, Philip,” said Lily.

Lily picked up the hemline of her dress and soon came to Jessie Jessic, Ms. Edwards.”

‘Nice to meet you. Ms. Dawson,” Naomi greeted Lily. Lily stared at her and made no secret of her appreciation and fondness. “Ms. Edwards, you look so beautiful tonight!

“This is the Night Queen designed by Miah, right?”

Miah Calderon was a famous wedding dress designer in Clusia, but her wedding dress was different from other wedding dresses. The color of her wedding dresses was all black.

As for Miah herself, people who had seen her would say that she was particularly cool. She had a large tattoo on her arm and a good figure. Her short hair was as neat as boys. She often wore heavy makeup and dark lipstick.

She was always dressed in black, but she was really cool.

However, there were not many people who could see Miah. She didn’t take orders randomly. Every piece of her wedding dress was sold at a sky–high price, but few people got married in black wedding dresses, so most of her designs were stored.

Lily was a fan of Miah. She grew up as an obedient girl. She studied and worked step by step. After graduation, she joined the entertainment company under Edwards Group and worked for Philip.

Philip was nice to her, and she also worked well. Such a stable life made her confused sometimes.

Because she was ordinary, she envied those cool and handsome girls.

Miah was one of them.

But she dared not try Miah’s black wedding dresses.

Now she saw Naomi wearing the Night Queen, her eyes sparkling.

Naomi nodded. “Yes, this is Night Queen. Mr. Fischer let me wear it.”

Lily became more and more excited. “Ms. Edwards, can I have a word with you?”

When Lily was about to pull Naomi to leave, Ivy was even more unhappy. She stepped forward and dragged Naomi. “Naomi, what do you mean? You have a better attitude towards others than toward the Edwards family. Even if Alfred is pursuing you, you are not qualified to put on airs in front of our family.

“Naomi, do you think that you are the best when you wear a black wedding dress? This is the welcome banquet held for us. Who are you trying to seduce?”

Naomi didn’t say anything, but her eyes turned cold.

“I’m not pursuing Naomi. I’m Naomi’s elder brother.” Alfred’s face darkened. He was no longer fond of Ivy since he knew that Naomi was his biological sister.

Alfred said, “Ivy, watch your mouth.

“Or don’t blame me for teaching you a lesson.”

Lesley was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward. “Alfred, how can you talk to your sister like this? Ivy is your sister. Even if she says something wrong, can’t you say it properly? Do you want to break her heart for an outsider?”

Alfred gritted his teeth. He wanted to say that Naomi was his biological sister, but when he met Naomi’s cold eyes, he suddenly dared not say anything.

“Ms. Edwards, I heard that Naomi Design is working with Edwards Group, right?” asked Lesley.

Lesley looked at Naomi. Her face darkened and her tone rose slightly. “Ms. Edwards, as long as I say something, Naomi Design will not survive, so I advise you to behave yourself.”

Naomi chuckled, “Fronthe beginning, it was Ms. Gibson who was targeting me. I didn’t say anything. She humiliated me.

“And Mrs. Edwards, not only don’t you discipline your daughter well, but also spoil her arrogance and domineering. It is true that Naomi Design is cooperating with Edwards Group, but I have neither breached the contract nor violated the rules. Mrs. Edwards, if you want to unilaterally end the cooperation, please pay liquidated damages to Naomi Design according to the

contract.

Naomi said calmly, “It’s good that Mrs. Edwards and your family love each other and are united, but I really don’t like the Edwards family.

“Mr. Edwards, please pay attention to what you say and do. I don’t want to get involved with you. Everyone knows that I am Mr. Fischer’s woman. I really don’t like you.”

“Ms. Edwards, you are really rude,” Rodney said coldly. “Do you still want to come to our house?”

Shawn sneered, “What the hell is the Edwards family? How dare you think Naomi wants to go to your house?”

Shawn said, “Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, you’d better remember every word you said today. Naomi never wants to enter your house.

“Don’t kneel in front of Naomi and beg her to come to your house one day.”

“Shawn, you…” Rodney snapped.

“Shut up!” Alfred said.

Alfred interrupted Rodney with a livid face, “Ivy has no manners. Can’t you see it or hear it? Are you blind or deaf?

“Ivy, apologize to Naomi.”

Ivy refused. “No, Alfred. You are my brother. Why do you ask me to apologize to her?

“Daddy and Mommy, Alfred bullied me.”

Ivy’s eyes were red. She had always been spoiled by Alfred, but she couldn’t accept his bad attitude towards her recently.

Lesley was also furious! Why did Alfred do this for an outsider?

Besides, Alfred cooperated with Fischer Group. Edwards Group didn’t have any advantage because Alfred made so many

concessions.

Because of this, Rodney and Lesley were not happy with what Alfred had done.

But Fischer Group held a welcome banquet for them in Emerald Mansion, which was enough to show respect to the Edwards family. That was why they came here together.

But at the banquet, Shawn showed up with Naomi in a black wedding dress, which showed that he was not sincere.

He welcomed the Edwards family, but he became the protagonist.

“Alfred, apologize to Ivy,” Lesley ordered. “And if you dare to pursue Naomi, don’t come back to the Edwards manor.”

Rodney also said, “Yes. Apologize to Ivy.”

Alfred looked at Ivy coldly and said after a while, “Ivy is not my sister. You two know this better than anyone else.

“Besides, I’m not pursuing Naomi. Don’t make me so dirty.

“Since Edwards Group is unwilling to cooperate with Naomi Design, I will personally cooperate with it. I just want to give

money to Naomi and flatter her. I don’t want Ivy. I will replace my own sister.

“If you are not satisfied, just kick me out of Edwards Group and the Edwards family”

Rodney and Lesley looked at Alfred in shock, and then they looked worriedly at Ivy. As expected, Ivy’s eyes turned red, and her tears began to fall down. “Alfred, you hate me so much. What did I do wrong? Why did you say such outrageous words?

“Daddy, Mommy, since Alfred hates me so much, I have to die.

Ivy said she wanted to die, which shocked Naomi.

Shawn sneered, “I didn’t expect that the Edwards family would be like this. I have to think about whether to continue to cooperate with Edwards Group.”

Jessie looked at Alfred, who had a livid face. He had been trying to tell Rodney and Lesley the truth before, but now he didn’t want to say a word.

Alfred said, “Jessie, let’s go.

“Mr. Fischer, let me invite you and Naomi alone.”

Jessie stepped forward. “Lily, come with us!”

Lily was confused. Hearing Jessie’s words, she immediately nodded obediently. “Okay, Jessie.”
