Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256 Disrespectful

As the applause thundered throughout the hall, all eyes turned to Sadie, celebrating her design.

Kyla’s cheeks burned with embarrassment. She felt utterly humiliated by the turn of events.

All her meticulous preparations had turned into a joke.

She bit her bottom lip so fiercely it nearly drew blood, her fingernails pressed into her palms.

“Ms. Shaw, the Dewy Hibiscus necklace you’re wearing is simply stunning.” a well–dressed gentleman commented as he approached Eva. “May I ask why you chose this jewelry set?”

Eva ran her fingers over the necklace, her eyes alight with appreciation. “The Dewy Hibiscus isn’t just beautifully designed. It also incorporates elements from Helva’s traditional art. Sandra’s sketches brought a wonderful surprise to the set.”

“And this adorable Samoyed accompanying you…” The gentleman’s attention shifted to the dog, adorned with a necklace by

Vivi’s presence added to the already electric atmosphere.

“What’s wrong with adorning a dog?” Eva cut her off. “It’s my pet, and I’ll accessorize it as I see fit. Maybe, Miss Quinn, you should pay more attention to enhancing your own designs rather than critiquing my choices.”

Eva’s authoritative tone rendered Vivi momentarily speechless.
