Chapter 569
“Where’s security? What are they doing? How could they let just anyone in p>
Several designers began to shout angrily.
Black Jack slowly finished her Coke, then noticed the cup was still full of ice. She went to get a refill and then glanced up at them, the corners of her eyes lifting.
She curled her lips into an even more glamorous, wildly alluring smile.
“Miss Wynn she said, a smile playing on her lips as her gaze fell on Hailey.
That smile, and that look, made Hailey’s heart skip a beat. She had a bad feeling about this.
And Black Jack, seeming to notice the subtle change in Hailey’s expression, smiled even more brilliantly. “I remember, back in school, all you cared about was investigating which male students and which teachers came from good families. You hated drawing and design the most. You used to say that the hardworking students were wasting their time on useless drawings, and that it was better to just find a rich man to marry p>
“So what happened? It hasn’t even been that long, and suddenly you have ‘talent’ and ‘experience’? Where did this talent come from? And this experience p>
The entire lounge fell silent. The looks many people gave Hailey turned strange.
Even the designers who had been defending Hailey fell silent, their expressions a mixture of surprise and suspicion as they looked at her.
Hailey’s smile froze, and her face instantly turned pale.
This person… could she be a former classmate?
But that couldn’t be right. The woman looked several years older than her. And If there had been a girl this beautiful at her school, she would have been the undisputed it-girl.
How could she have never seen her before?
Who on earth was this person?
Hailey’s mind was racing, a flash of panic in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.
She straightened her back, forcing herself to remain calm. “Miss, I don’t know where you heard things about me, or what your purpose is in sneaking in here to say all this, but I hope you won’t let someone with ulterior motives use you as their pawn to do something wrong p>
Her words were clearly meant to obscure the issue, leading the other designers to believe that someone was jealous of her and deliberately spreading malicious
rumors.
A designer immediately chimed in, “Exactly! Besides, people grow and change What you were like in the päst doesnt mean you’re the same now! And you’re not even a designer, you don’t know anything about it, so who are you to talk p>
“I don’t get all your complicated stuff,” Black Jack said, tilting her head and fixing her gaze on the jewelry Hailey was wearing. “But this thing you’re wearing, it’s hardly a masterpiece. It copies Queen’s style but cant hold a candle to the real thing, especially the details… Even an amateur like me finds it hard to look at p>
She smacked her lips. “And you… from top to bottom, inside and out… you just don’t
seem like the kind of person who could design this jewelry set p>
Hailey dug her nails into her palm, her heart pounding violently. “What… what do you mean p>
“I mean Black Jack tilted her head back, downed the rest of her Coke in one go, then straightened her lithe body and walked toward Hailey.
She stopped in front of Hailey, a wild, glamorous smile on her red lips. “This design, which rips off Queen’s style… isn’t a level that someone like you could ever reach p>
