Chapter 222
Skyler had obtained an imitation Alexa Jewelry necklace from Zoey, and it had a miraculous effect!
Bracing herself and filled with apprehension, she had privately given it to Ada Wang, fearing that she would die on the spot if discovered.
Even if she was discovered, she had already thought of a way out; and if she was deceived by an acquaintance, she still had some knowledge of the jewelry to cover it up, so it was fine,
In the end, it was unclear whether it was due to Alexa’s disciple’s exceptional craftsmanship, but Ada Wang was completely unaware that the necklace was fake. She was so pleased with it that she immediately put it on and refused to take it off!
Finally, Ada Wang and Skyler put their signatures on the contract.
With Aubree’s tireless assistance, Skyler was able to break into the core and was subsequently promoted by Jake to a director, thus allowing her to attend the Group’s upper management meetings!
That night, Aubree and his mother sat on the balcony, toasting with the celebratory wine in anticipation.
“Daughter, once Ada Wang’s wedding is done, your father will officially give you the hotel. You should take the first step forward confidently. You’ll surely make it to the board of directors and kick that scoundrel Joseph out with Mom!”
“My child, I can’t rely on your sister.” Aubree said, embracing her daughter, her eyes glimmering with a growing optimism, “I’m relying on you for the rest of my life.”
“Mom, don’t fret! When I succeed, I will slowly but surely take away Joseph’s influence. Then, the entire Sawle Group will be
ours!”
Skyler’s eyes sparkled extravagantly as she and Aubree clinked glasses at the heart.
The housekeeper’s voice called out from outside the door, inquiring if anyone was inside.
“Ma’am, Third Miss, someone has just arrived to deliver you a letter.”
The two women glanced at each other and exited the balcony.
“Who sent it?” Skyler queried.
“He’s the General Manager Secretary of KS WORLD Hotel; his last name is Stewart.
KS? Chloe sent it over?!
“Gotcha. You go ahead and get to it.” Aubree accepted the offer and shut the door. Opening the letter, she discovered two invitations to the charity jewelry auction. Aubree pursed her bright red lips, her expression a little glum and inscrutable.
“Mom, that girl Chloe has been quiet for so long, but she suddenly posted something out of the blue tonight… Is something wrong?” Skyler asked worriedly.
“What’s got you so worried? Now that Ada Wang has inked the deal with you, it’s a done deal. Even if Chloe wants to meddle, she can’t do a thing!”
Coincidentally, at that very moment, the TV was airing the evening news, with one of the headlines being about the charity jewelry auction!
“Mom! The host of this event is actually ‘MINT”!”.
Skyler gestured towards the TV and exclaimed, “This is an internationally renowned fashion/magazine. Celebrities are vying for the title of this magazine! Chloe is the organizer of the MINT event. Don’t you think she’s being a bit too daring?!”

“Hmph, no matter how grand it is, it’s futile. A defeat is a defeat. She’s only doing this to preserve her pride!”
Aubree rubbed her back teeth and said, “Since she sent us an invitation, wouldn’t it be really impolite if we don’t go? If we do

“It appears that we have our sights set on her. Let’s not let her do anything else to Ada Wang and spoil our good intentions!”
Chloe had a pleasant conversation with the editor of the MINT Fashion Magazine over the phone, speaking in English and laughing freely.
She changed into a tight sports suit, ready to go to the backyard and row a single rubber dinghy, when Oscar arrived.
“Big brother!”
Chloe ran downstairs, excitement coursing through her, and leapt into Oscar’s arms.
The tall and stalwart man opened his arms and embraced her tightly. She was dressed so snugly that her curves were perfectly outlined, her protruding areas were accentuated, and her graceful curves were pressed against him. It was an indescribable charm that melted his soul, graceful and sexy.
“It’s already so late, Oscar,” she said, her brow furrowing. “Are you going to work out?”
“Yes, big brother,” Chloe said, tilting her head back and raising her little face with a smile, “I’m in a good mood and I’m heading to the backyard to row a rubber boat!”
“What are you going to do when it’s so dark? What if you fall into the river? You don’t have very good swimming abilities.”
“Also, don’t you realize that it’s almost freezing out there? You’re not wearing much, what if you get sick?”
He turned to look at Jordan, “It’s just you and the Young Mistress here usually. Why don’t you keep an eye on her?”
“My sincerest apologies, President Thorp,” Jordan said, bowing hastily. “I have not fulfilled my obligation.”
“Okay, big brother. Don’t hold Jordan responsible. He reminded me, but he couldn’t make me do it.”
The siblings sat down on the sofa hand in hand. Chloe nestled her little head on her big brother’s shoulder. “Big bro, the editor of MINT just phoned me to sort out the timetable. Thanks, big bro, for hooking me up with such a top-notch
resource!”
“I’m really fond of MINT. I’ve been following this magazine since I was a kid. It’s been a great source of inspiration for my fashion design!”
Alice, the chief editor of MINTS, was a veritable devil in the fashion industry. A slight frown from her while watching a show was a disaster for any brand, highlighting her immense importance in the industry.
But such a big shot had personally phoned Chloe!
Only God knew that, at that moment, the great anticipation had caused the young woman’s palms to become sweaty with excitement!
“Chloe, it’s great that you’re fond of it.”
Oscar gazed at her affectionately and caressed her petite nose. “I’m worried that you’ll be disheartened due to the incident of Ada Wang being swindled by Sawle Group, and I’m aware that you’re a laid-back person, so I’ve got something for you to do.”
“When you’re occupied, you won’t be distressed.”
“Tsk, why am I so delicate? I’ve been eating a lot lately and getting plenty of rest. I’m not letting it bother me.” Chloe pouted her cherry lips, her voice gentle and pleasant.
Jordan bit his lower lip, suppressing his heartbeat as he fixedly stared at Chloe’s tender pink cheeks.
Only when in Oscar’s presence did the young miss show her coquettish side of a little girl, her cuteness being too much to bear.
