Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 324

Chapter 324 Invitation

The driver started the engine.

Sadie leaned back, closing her eyes slowly, trying to distance herself from the emotional weight of her recent conversation

with Eva.

“Buzz… Buzz…” Her phone’s sudden vibration jarred her from her thoughts.

Opening her eyes, Sadie retrieved her phone from her bag, noticing an unfamiliar number on the display.

She hesitated briefly before answering. “Hello?”

“This is Vivi.” The voice was familiar yet distant, tinged with a mix of arrogance and challenge.

Sadie’s brows furrowed. Vivi? Why was she calling now?

“Vivi? What do you want?” Sadie’s tone was icy, edged with caution.

She and Vivi were competitors, typically staying out of each other’s way.

“What, Sandra? Can’t I just call for a friendly chat? We were colleagues once, weren’t we?” Vivi’s laugh was overly sweet,

her voice oozing insincerity.

Sadie cut to the chase. “What are you really after, Vivi?”

“Ah, Sandra, always so direct.” Vivi chuckled, her voice now smug. “I just wanted to share some good news. My studio

officially opens today.”

“I see.” Sadie’s reply was flat, disinterested.

Vivi’s news was irrelevant to her. She couldn’t care less.

“Sandra, you don’t seem surprised at all?” Vivi’s voice carried a note of irritation. She was unhappy with Sadie’s lack of

reaction.

“Why should I be?” Sadie shot back, her sarcasm palpable. “Your studio opening–what does it have to do with me?”

“How could it not?” Vivi’s tone became sharp, deliberately provocative. “Sandra, you’re an internationally renowned

designer, yet your studio remains unseen. Don’t you want… to let it shine too?”

Sadie immediately grasped the dual nature of Vivi’s words–both a boast and a challenge.

“Vivi, there’s no need to show off to me.” Sadie’s response was frostier than before. “The success of your studio is your concern. My interest, or lack thereof, is my own.”

“Sandra, don’t be like that.” Vivi’s voice softened, seemingly cajoling. “I’ve invited almost every prominent designer to my opening. Everyone is expecting you.”

“Not interested.” Sadie dismissed her flatly, her tone unwavering. “Vivi, we walk different paths. Please, don’t contact me

again.”

With that, she ended the call and dropped the phone back into her bag.

“Humph!” On the other end, Vivi was left listening to the disconnect tone. Her expression darkened, and a sneer crossed

her lips, a glint of malice in her eyes.

“Think you can avoid the storm by ignoring me, Sadie? Just wait. The real show hasn’t even started.”

Unaware of Vivi’s scheming, Sadie felt a wave of irritation wash over her.

The call had only added to the weight she already felt.

The car continued swiftly towards the city center.

Soon, Sadie reached her studio.

She walked to her desk, sat down, and powered up her computer, ready to immerse herself in work.

But as soon as she launched the browser, a slew of headlines captured her attention.

“Majestic Ego’s Chief Designer Vivi Quinn Launches First Domestic Studio with a Bang.”

“Vivi Quinn’s Studio Opening Ceremony Dazzles, Industry Elites Gather.”

“Vivi Quinn’s Studio Overwhelmed with Orders on Opening Day, Promising Future Ahead.”

Each headline and every stunning photo underscored the triumph and allure of Vivi’s studio.

Sadie clicked on an article, rapidly scanning its contents.

The piece featured Vivi in a breathtaking gown, surrounded by flowers and applause, her expression one of undeniable

confidence and joy.

She addressed the reporters with poise and assurance, her words brimming with ambition.

“My studio is set to become the premier design brand in Helva, offering unparalleled design services to our clients…”

“I envision my studio as a beacon in the domestic design landscape, setting the trends in fashion…”

“I’m confident that soon, we will be recognized as one of the top design brands, both here and abroad…”

In the article’s comment section, the conversation buzzed.

“Vivi’s studio just opened, but where’s Sandra?”

“Where’s Sandra? Has anyone seen her?”

“Is she too proud to show up?”

“Vivi is now Majestic Ego’s chief designer. How can Sandra even compete?”

“Exactly! Sandra’s designs are decent, but she’s no match for Vivi.”
