Chapter 176 I Will Replace You

On the way, Beatrice could clearly feel that there were two pairs of eyes no longer staring at her from behind, and she felt much more relaxed.

The jewelry exhibition was set up in a cultural museum in a suburban town, which had a history of over a hundred years and was well-preserved inside and out.

In order to preserve the antiquity of the buildings, no red carpet was laid this time, and even the press conference was held with a group of people standing under the open courtyard. Everyone was shivering with cold, yet they had to maintain an elegant smile on their faces. Alicia jokingly said this was called dedicating oneself to art, but who knows how many warmers. were stuck underneath the dress.

everyone

The press conference ended, and walked into the warm indoor field. The theme of this time is culture and nature.

From the moment you enter, there are various ingenious exhibits.

In addition to the luxurious jewelry displayed in the showcase, there were also jewelry presented. in various forms.

Leaves and blossoms made of gradient gemstones, a large blue and white diamond fireworks necklace under the starry sky, and various jewelry butterflies suspended with fishing lines. Beatrice was enjoying herself when Alicia spoke up and brought her back to reality. Alicia introduced the man in front of her to Madelynn.

"Beatrice, Madelynn, this is Mr. Duarte, the organizer of this jewelry exhibition. He knows almost every renowned jewelry designer, both domestic and international, Without waiting for Beatrice to greet politely, Madelynn stepped forward and directly shook Mr. Duarte's hand.

"Hello, Mr. Duarte. I have heard so much about you. My name

She emphasized her own name.

name is Madelynn."

Mr. Duarte immediately understood her meaning and laughed, saying, "Mr. Caden's fiancée, it should be an honor for me to meet you."

With a light grip on her hand, he effortlessly let go of Madelynn without leaving a trace, not even a single word more. Madelynn froze slightly.

Beatrice took the opportunity to step forward and smiled lightly, saying, "Hello, Mr. Duarte. I often hear Ms. Moreno mention your unique insight. Today, upon seeing you, I am even more impressed. I got distracted just now, and I apologize for making a fool of myself." Mr. Duarte's face brightened: "What's your name? I don't recall having seen you before." "Beatrice. Just entered Ms. Moreno's studio."

She would rather have others remember her name than who she is.

"Beatrice, um... wait, I have some important guests coming over later, why don't you join us?" "Extremely honored."

Beatrice nodded.

Mr. Duarte looked her up and down, slightly surprised, and said, "This dress is..." Alicia interrupted softly, "Mr. Duarte, it seems like your assistant was looking for you." "I'll go first, see you later," Mr. Duarte said as he left, not forgetting to compliment Beatrice, "This dress was tailor-made for you, it suits you perfectly."

Beatrice was a bit confused, what customization?

But on the surface, she still smiled and said, "Thank you."

After seeing off Mr. Duarte, Alicia went to find her friends without waiting for Beatrice to ask about the dress.

She turned around helplessly, only to meet Madelynn's unpredictable gaze, which inexplicably. sent shivers down her spine.

Beatrice didn't want to start any conflict with Madelynn in this situation, so she made an excuse and went to the restroom.

She washed her hands and, as she looked up to touch up her makeup, Madelynn's figure suddenly appeared in the mirror, startling her.

Beatrice collected herself for a moment, ignoring her, and touched up her lipstick.

When she was about to leave, Madelynn raised her hand fiercely to stop her.noveldrama

"Indeed, a despicable person remains despicable, always seeking to please men."

Nowadays, Madelynn is no longer bothered to pretend to be gentle and elegant.

Beatrice casually pointed at the mirror, "Ms. Bradford, be mindful of your image. It wouldn't be good if someone saw it."

The calmer she was, the more irritable Madelynn became.

Especially when she thought about last night, being stared at by Keith like a criminal, she couldn't swallow this anger in her heart.

Beatrice, however, did not want to pay attention to her and walked past her.

Little did anyone know, Madelynn, as if she had gone mad, pulled out an eyebrow razor directly from her handbag and stabbed it towards Beatrice.

Fortunately, Beatrice noticed Madelynn's movement from the mirror on the opposite side and managed to dodge in time.

But Madelynn also took the opportunity to grab her shoulder strap and forcefully pulled it.

Knock, knock...

The string of beads was scattered all over the floor.

The dress, originally supported by shoulder straps, also slid down.

Beatrice could only reach out and cover her chest, quickly taking a few steps back. Madelynn raised her proud neck, sneeringly threw the eyebrow razor into the trash can, and then her expression changed, revealing a surprised look.

"Oh dear! Beatrice, how could you be so careless? How can you face people like this? You better take a good rest and not embarrass Ms. Moreno. I will stand by Mr. Duarte's side in

your place.

With that, she raised her eyebrows, smiled, and left the restroom.

Beatrice tightened her dress and finally realized that Madelynn had never intended to hurt her in the first place; she just wanted to ruin her dress and make her lose face. Without thinking too much, she immediately crouched down to pick up the beads, hoping to salvage the situation.

But this building is a cultural relic, even the restroom has preserved the original bricks and stones to the maximum extent, many beads have disappeared along the floor tile cracks. Only a dozen or so could be found, not even enough to mend a single shoulder strap. At this moment, footsteps could be heard not far away, and Beatrice had no choice but to clutch her gown and leave first.

She wanted to find a room

room with no one in it, and first tidy up her dress.

She would never give this great opportunity to Madelynn.

But because she was in a hurry, Beatrice accidentally knocked over a six or seven-year-old boy when she turned.

"Ouch." He lay on the ground, straddling a small bamboo basket.

Beatrice quickly freed up one hand and helped him up, saying, "Sorry, little one, where does it

hurt?"

The little boy, dressed in the local ethnic costume, looked up and said, "Wow, Auntie, you look so beautiful." Beatrice was taken aback and didn't know what to say.

Just then, a woman came running, holding something.

"Ajie, didn't I tell you not to run around? There is a big event in the hall today, and we can't disturb others."

The woman's complexion was not very good, and she appeared very tired, but she was very kind. "Miss, I'm sorry, children don't understand."

Beatrice shook her head and explained, "It was my carelessness that caused me to knock down the child. Please quickly check where the child is injured, I can compensate for medical expenses." The woman's eyes tightened when she heard about the medical expenses. She quickly put down. what she was holding and checked on the child.

Beatrice touched the cloth and quickly said, "Big sister, I want this cloth, I will give you three times the price."

The eldest sister hesitated and said, "Really?"

Beatrice immediately took out her phone and opened the payment interface: "Big sister, you just need to input the account number and the amount of money."

The eldest sister didn't dare to believe it was true until she heard the sound of deposited.

"Girl, what were you going to do?"

"My clothes are damaged, and I want to use your fabric to fix it," Beatrice pointed to her chest. The eldest sister looked at her figure and took out a sewing kit from her bag, and even had a pair of folding scissors. "It doesn't matter what big thing I do, it's fine. All the women in our town can sew with needles and thread very skillfully. Stand still, I'll make you a... what's it called online? Custom-made!"
