Chapter 392 Petty Antics

“I see the studio’s remodeling went well,” Sadie said with a smile.

“Of course! I made sure everyone worked hard. I even convinced them to put in extra hours to complete it sooner,” Nanette replied, lifting her chin with pride. “How are you feeling, by the way? Are you better now?”

“I feel perfectly fine. Thanks for asking.” Sadie patted Nanette’s shoulder. “Any news regarding the International Jewelry

Design Competition?”

“Oh, gosh, yes!” Nanette clapped her hands excitedly. “Sadie, your work has been shortlisted. A small gala will be held tomorrow night, and the competition will officially start the day after. The organizers invited you to tomorrow’s party.”

“I see. Great, then. Please prepare an evening dress for me.”

“No problem!” Nanette patted her chest. “Leave everything to me.”

Sadie chuckled at her zeal then walked over to her desk. She turned her laptop on and began going through the work that

had piled up while she was gone.

She needed to finish everything as soon as possible, so she could fully focus on preparing for the contest.

Sadie was determined to prove herself in the industry. More importantly, she wanted to make the people who had hurt her

pay.

They were going to find out that she was no pushover.

Sadie buried herself in work and completely lost track of time.

She only stopped when Nanette knocked on her door to remind her that it was time to clock out.

Sadie sat back and stretched, then gathered her purse and coat.

“Make sure to dress yourself up for tomorrow, okay?” Nanette said with a wink.

Sadie smiled. “Yes, yes. Got it.”

They parted ways outside the studio, and Sadie drove home.

The next evening, Sadie arrived at the party’s venue just before it started.

She was wearing a black, backless evening gown that accentuated her silhouette. Her long, dark hair was pinned up.

drawing attention to her slender neck. Her makeup was light and exquisite, and she carried herself with grace and elegance that made heads turn her way.

Sadie glided through the crowd, exchanging pleasantries with designers and brand representatives. She maintained a polite smile all throughout, one that exuded confidence and charm.

“Well, well, well.” A sharp, mocking voice suddenly broke through the mingling guests. “Isn’t this the famous designer,

Miss Hudson?”

Sadie turned to see Vivi standing behind her, wearing a sneer.

Vivi wore a tight, red dress that matched her bold makeup. While she made for a striking figure, she looked somewhat

garish next to Sadie.

“Miss Quinn,” Sadie greeted calmly. “Long time no see.”

“Long time no see?” Vivi scoffed. “I heard your studio ran into some trouble recently. To be honest, I thought you would be

too ashamed to show your face in public events such as this.”

Sadie’s lips curled into a subtle smile. “Sorry to disappoint you, but my studio and I are actually doing pretty well. But I

heard you’ve been trying to secure a deal with Lawrence Group. That hasn’t exactly worked out, has it?”

Vivi’s expression darkened. She wasn’t expecting Sadie to know about this.

The Lawrence Group was a renowned jewelry brand in Helva, and one of Sadie’s long–time clients.

Vivi had been trying to snatch them away, but the owner of Lawrence Group was indifferent to her offers. It left her utterly

frustrated.

“Don’t get too full of yourself, Sadie Hudson!” Vivi snapped through gritted teeth. “You think you’ve won? Let me tell you

-it’s not over until the fat lady sings.”

“Is that so? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.” Sadie’s smile grew brighter. “Feel free to reach out if you need anything,

Miss Quinn. After all, I have excellent rapport with the owner of Lawrence Group.”

With that, Sadie gracefully turned and walked away, leaving Vivi fuming in place. “Sadie Hudson, just you wait!” she

muttered under her breath as she glared at Sadie’s retreating figure.

Hatred and envy burned in Vivi’s heart, and she vowed there and then that she would make Sadie pay.

She refused to believe that she would lose to someone like Sadie.

Meanwhile, Sadie plucked a glass of champagne from a passing waiter, then moved to a quiet corner.

She thought about her recent encounter and couldn’t help the sardonic smile that tugged at her lips.

Vivi was no better than a trivial troublemaker, what with her petty and shortsighted antics. She was barely worth any

attention.
