Melissa stared at Ziggy in disbelief before she turned around to scan the area. Confirming that there was no one else around her vicinity, she pointed at herself. "Twerp, who are you calling an old hag?" Ziggy looked up at her. "You. Do you see anyone older than you here?" Melissa's face turned so red, she wanted to give Ziggy a good beating. 'Where did this wild kid come from?' "Bully your mommy? I bully your mommy? Kid, tell me, who is your mommy? Who in this company has a child that I don't know?" Ziggy looked at Melissa coldly and threw a piece of printed artwork onto her face. "I didn't expose you today because I didn't think you deserve to become my mommy's rival! Let me give you a piece of advice, stop playing office politics! Your capabilities are already destined, no amount of tricks and gimmicks can help you." Melissa took a look at the paper that landed in her hand. Her eyes suddenly widened in fear. "You, you! How do you have this design?!" 'It should've
It was not until Rachel turned to Ziggy that he said, "Aunt Jodie, didn't you say you found out through your dad's company?" Getting Ziggy's hint, Jodie looked at Rachel. "That's right, I found out from my dad's company." Rachel's gaze alternated between Ziggy and Jodie. She was full of suspicion. Once again, Ziggy kept putting food onto Rachel's plate. "Mommy, please eat. If you don't eat now, all the nice pieces of meat will be finished by Aunt Jodie alone." Jodie glared at Ziggy with her plateful of meat chunks. "Nonsense! Am I that kind of person?!" At this moment, Jodie's words were as reliable as the weather forecast, as her mouth was filled with meat. Rachel rubbed Ziggy's head with a smile. "Alright, I'm done here after the competition. I don't think I have anything else to do in the evening, so I'll get out of work as soon as possible to accompany my baby at home." Ziggy hugged Rachel and grinned. "Yay! Mommy is the best!" Jodie pressed her lips together and se
The reward said those who placed first, second, and third were supposed to be promoted to designers! Why was Rachel the only one who was promoted to a designer? While Melissa and the third place were still in the crowded first floor. In name, she had been promoted to a substitute designer, but in reality, her position was not changed. She would still be doing the work as a design staff! In this industry, there were significant differences between being a designer and a design staff! For this competition, she had exhausted her resources and energy. She thought she had the crown within her reach, but Rachel's sudden emergence with the stupid dress won everyone's attention and praise. Melissa was so pissed, she interlocked her fingers tightly! She had even prepared her gown to attend the ball! She wanted to be the president's date, to attend an upper-class social event for once! However, Rachel had taken all these opportunities away from her! Melissa walked with her fi
The Lincoln stretch limousine stopped in front of Rachel's apartment as she quickly alighted. "Mr. Chapman, let me go explain to my son about tonight." Nathan was slightly surprised, but he maintained his calm smile. "We can bring him along." Rachel shook her head. "It's alright, Mr. Chapman. We can just come home earlier." She did not want her son to enter the upper-class social circle. The more aristocratic a circle was, the messier it would eventually become. She hoped her son could keep his naivete and live a simple life with occasional smarts. Nathan followed Rachel upstairs after giving Anne an indicative nod. After getting the hint, Anne left the apartment. Knock knock— Rachel knocked on the door, grinning. The door opened and Ziggy flew into Rachel's arms. "Mommy, you're home! I've waited for you for so long!" Rachel held Ziggy in her arms and laughed. "Baby, this is Uncle Nathan." Ziggy looked at Nathan and grinned, his smile brightening up the entire r
The other salesperson brought out the most expensive sets of suits and placed it in front of Ziggy. While Ziggy was taking his time to choose the suit he wanted, the other salesperson pulled the one attending to Ziggy aside. "What are you doing? Why are you attending to a lone child, what business can he bring you?" "You don't know, but he has a diamond credit card!" "Look at the clothes he's wearing, I’m sure it didn't cost more than 200 quids to buy everything that he's wearing right now, so how would he possess a diamond card? I bet his family is not even rich. The diamond card is probably a fake or he stole it somewhere, it just doesn't make sense for him to own the card!" "... Well, when you put it like that, it kinda makes sense!" "It makes all the senses, alright? Now find an excuse to chase him away!" The sales lady then approached Ziggy. "Little boy, are you thinking none of these suits suit you? Do you want to go somewhere else to have a look?" Ziggy simply lo
Anne was a little distracted as she stared at Rachel. 'No wonder Nathan would put so much effort on a newcomer like her.' Aside from her superior talent, Rachel also exuded a delicate air that not many rich ladies have, and that face... As the door opened, Nathan's first look at Rachel was on her lanky, pretty legs with an eye-catching crystal heel. Following that, Rachel exited the car in a pure white dress that showed off her flawless shoulder and delicate clavicles. The dress was so white that it was almost translucent, but it reflected light like the wings of an angel, and it barely exposed anything that was not supposed to show.The slanted high-low skirt puffed naturally and gracefully, exposing her fair, lanky legs. On top of that, the skirt was sprinkled with diamonds that resemble stars in the night sky or beautiful morning dew. Her dark brown hair sat naturally on her shoulders. Her irises were clear and bright, her brows were dainty, and her long lashes quivered sli
The more she tried to remember, the more her head ached. It was as if her head was going to explode. She held her head painfully. "Rachel, are you alright?" Nathan's worried voice caught her attention. After recovering from the pain, Rachel stopped trying to recall the deep, dark secrets of her past life. Holding onto her shoulders, Nathan asked, "Rachel, what happened to you?" Rachel shook her head lightly. "It's nothing. So sorry I made you worry." Nathan sighed in relief. "As long as you're okay." Before Rachel could respond, a middle-aged pair approached them with their glasses of red wine. "This is Mr. Chapman, isn't it?" The middle-aged man gestured at Nathan with his glass and smiled.Hearing the middle-aged man's voice, Rachel froze in shock. 'Isn't that dad's voice? Then the woman beside him...' The middle-aged woman spoke as she looked at Rachel, "This is your date for tonight, isn't it? She looks beautiful! This dress must have cost a tiny fortune on
Rachel lowered her gaze. 'Hmph! Rue, I am more than just someone you know!' Nathan grabbed Rachel's shoulder and smiled. "It's alright, she's even more low-profile than I am. I won't say who she is, but you'll meet again anyhow." Without any particular reason, Rue felt a little rueful.She was incredibly curious about the woman in front of her, who seemed to draw more attention than she did, and it made her envious at the same time! 'I should be the one in the spotlight tonight!' 'I am Mrs. Bluemel!' 'I married the man every woman wants!' 'Yet this woman took two-thirds of the attention away from me tonight!' How would she be able to endure that disrespect? This familiar-yet-foreign loss made her think of another person! Rachel! Rachel clenched her jaw. 'It could not be Rachel!' 'This is the highest class of social event, how would Rachel be able to come in?' "Oh, what a shame that I can't find out who the lady is." Rue sighed dramatically. Rachel squinte
