Chapter 81
“Is what you heard true?” Joseph asked with a sullen face.
“This… Mr. Sawle, there is no need to inquire about this matter. I contacted Ada Wang’s agent yesterday. She said that KS WORLD’s President Thorp contacted them before we did. She also said that she wanted to openly compete with us…”
The more Max spoke, the lower his voice became, because Joseph’s expression became darker and darker.
“What else did she say?”
“The agent also said… Although our Sawle Group Hotel has always been famous in the country, KS WORLD has been in the limelight recently, so…”
“She asked us to show our abilities to compete with the KS. Whoever has a good plan and good conditions, Ada Wang will consider who to cooperate with.”
Joseph slammed the table, and his blood surged.
One Raya was enough to make him upset, and on the way there, Chloe fought for the project with him. These two women were the disaster stars sent by the heavens to end him!
“Tomorrow morning, gather all the higher–ups in the hotel for a meeting. You must take out the highest standard wedding plan as soon as possible and strive to let Ada Wang cooperate with us!”
“If this project can’t be shut down and eventually ends up in Chloe’s possession, then all the managers will be bracing for the termination of their jobs!”
Max was speechless and nodded mutely, like a chicken pecking at grains.
of wheat.
It seemed that the old boss was going to take revenge for climbing to the tenth floor in anger!
In the afternoon, the Maybach stopped in front of a six–story European–style mansion in the north district of Medo.
“Didn’t you say you were going to see the designer?” Joseph looked at the vintage gate covered in rose flowers and looked confused.

“The designer is inside. This house is the studio of the internationally renowned Chinese designer, Rose Savage.”
Grace’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Although many of the world’s department stores carry the Rozabela brand created by Rose, the clothes aren’t worth wearing.”
“Only the high–end custom–made dress designed for us by Ms. Savage is worthy of our wedding!”
She had deliberately done her hair up today, transforming her original long black locks into flax–colored tresses. To complete her look, she wore a slightly sexy red dress that revealed her back, and her small mouth was painted red.
Seeing this bright red lips, Joseph instinctively thought of Raya’s face! It was as if red lips were exclusive to that woman, so incongruous on other people’s faces.
“No matter how high it is, it is just a dress.”
“I don’t need it. Just make it for yourself.” Joseph said indifferently. “No! Wives should design clothes for their husbands. In the future, Brother Joseph, you can only wear the clothes I chose for you. You can’t accept gifts from other women!” Grace leaned on the man’s shoulder and acted like a spoiled child.
Joseph’s eyebrows sank, and his heart suddenly tightened.
He remembered the suit that Raya had made for him. He tried his best to repair it, even though it was riddled with scars, but how did Raya treat his gift?
She allowed others to throw it on the ground like trash, and she just watched coldly as others trampled on his things.
Joseph pursed his thin lips in annoyance and said in a hoarse voice, “Alright, I won’t do it again in the future.”
The two of them got out of the car and were stopped by the messenger just as they reached the door.
“I’m sorry for the two of you. Today, Ms. Savage is holding a private party. You can’t enter without an invitation.”
“Heh, of course we do,” Grace said, beaming as she pulled out two invitation letters adorned with rose flowers.
“This way please.”
In the hall, the guests were joyfully chatting while holding wine glasses, their clothes fragrant and their hair fluttering.
Joseph did not expect that Grace would bring him to such an occasion, and it was completely hidden from him. No wonder she had specially dressed up today.
This made him feel particularly uncomfortable. Other than attending social events, he never attended any banquet in private. Grace doing this made him feel like he had been consumed.
Sure enough, the appearance of Joseph immediately became the focus of the audience.
“Isn’t this Joseph, Mr. Sawle?”
“Really! A living person is ten thousand times more handsome than on TV!”
“Who is his female companion? She is too lucky to be Mr. Sawle’s female companion!”
“What female companion? You don’t know that because you haven’t been back to the capital for a long time. That woman is called Grace, Mr. Sawle’s fiancee. Mr. Sawle divorced his ex–wife in order to marry her. Do you think this woman is capable?”
“OMG! Are you kidding me?”
Grace listened to these sour rumors and felt proud instead of feeling ashamed.
In her opinion, all the women in the world were jealous that she could have such an outstanding man!
These two invitations were obtained by flattering and begging Aubree for several days. Originally, she was a little aggrieved, but now she was really proud.
“Why didn’t you tell me in advance? You know that I don’t like to come to this kind of occasion.” Joseph tightened his jaw and his eyes were cold. “Brother Joseph, my level is not high enough. I’m afraid that I can’t ask for Ms. Savage to help me make clothes. That’s why I asked you to come over. If you come out, she will definitely agree…”
Seeing that the man’s expression was not right, Grace quickly explained timidly, “I’m sorry… Did I cause trouble for you?”
“In the future, you can tell me directly about this kind of thing. I will send someone to solve it. There is no need to come personally.” Joseph’s tone

was a little gentler.
“Got it, Brother Joseph…”
At this time, familiar footsteps came from behind him.
Crisp, capable, elegant, and steady.
Joseph’s ink eyes shook violently as he turned around.
Under the afternoon sun, Chloe, in her grass blue slim dress and wide shoulder suit of the same hue, glided into his stunned field of vision, accompanied by the fragrant scent of rose flowers.
Today, her black hair was tied up in a bun, revealing a long, snow–white swan neck. She did not have fiery red lips, but her aura was still strong enough to make people hold their breath.
Some women did not require thick makeup to attain power.
Grace was so angry that her face turned green.
She thought that wearing red would make her the most eye–catching, but she hadn’t anticipated that the woman’s touch of blue would steal her thunder, leaving her in the shadows!
Joseph’s Adam’s apple rolled slightly. He wanted to move his gaze away from her, but he could not.
However, in the blink of an eye, Chloe brushed past him and looked at him as if he was transparent!
Joseph narrowed his eyes and his heart leaped.
“Ah, isn’t this Miss Lewis? I didn’t expect you to get an invitation here. It must be very difficult, right?” Grace said with a smile.
“Yes, of course not.”
Chloe looked at her simperingly. “The guests who can attend the party are all people who have a deep relationship with Rose. These are either the newcomers and outstanding talents of the design industry, the big shots in the fashion industry, or VIP super customers.”
“May I ask Miss Grace, which category do
you consider you are?”
“I…” Grace’s face turned red, as if she had slapped him.
The surrounding guests all turned to look at her, and even Joseph was
pushed aside by their eyes.
