K Orld Hotel.
Evadne was in her office, scrutinizing the banquet plan with a seriousness that surpassed even when she organized Ada's wedding.
Last time, her diligence was due to Ada being an important business partner. This time, it was because Myra was her family.
"Miss Evadne, you have been working too hard, pulling three all-nighters in a row. Take a break," Jason, her assistant, brought her a glass of orange juice, fearing the constant intake of coffee wouldn't be good for her stomach.
"I can't rest yet. The banquet hall is all set but Myra's gown isn't ready," Evadne put down the files, massaging her aching temples.
At her age, most other girls would be out shopping with their besties, travelling around the world, or experiencing the bitter-sweetness of love. But all she could do was immerse herself in piles of paperwork and dry figures, leading the hotel staff, thinking about how to improve performance.
She was a strong woman, but not made of iron. Feeling tired was only human.
"Arrange something for me later. I need to visit Camille's studio," Evadne instructed.
"Is it about finishing Myra's gown?"
"Yes, we won't make it in time if we don't put in extra hours."
Jason sighed, feeling sorry for her.
At this moment, his phone vibrated.
Cassius sent him a message on WhatsApp, the list of guests for Myra's birthday banquet, with a note saying "pass it to Miss Evadne".
Jason read the message. Among the first few names, the three sons of the Chambers family stood out particularly.
Recalling the night when Matthew threw money at him, and the woman who vulgarly insulted Ms. Nydia, he felt a surge of anger, his eyes reddening.
"Jason, is there something wrong with the list? You look strange," Evadne, with her keen eyes, caught his micro-expression.
"Miss Evadne, there's something. I think you need to know."
Then, Jason recounted the incident from the night he sent Ms. Nydia back to school.
But he didn't mention the humiliation from Matthew.
He initially wanted to handle Nydia's trouble himself, but he realized that Matthew's mistress was not an ordinary problem.
He was just a secretary, too weak to protect Ms. Nydia.
If that woman and Ms. Nydia were from the same school, she might have been causing trouble for Ms. Nydia for a while. He couldn't always be there to help Ms. Nydia. So he could only ask Miss Evadne to step in and take revenge for Ms. Nydia.
Evadne furrowed her brows after hearing the story, her clear eyes filled with anger.
"She's just a mistress of Matthew, a low-quality woman who shouldn't even be seen in public. How dare she provoke my sister?"
Miss Evadne's eyes widened with fury, and she slammed the table, "She won't get away with it!"
Jason couldn't help but laugh.
"The reason why that wench dares to be so arrogant is that she relies on Matthew, thinking she can do whatever she wants with his backing."
Evadne's almond eyes flashed with a cold light, "Hmph, if she knew that behind Myra stands the whole Ashbourne family, the entire K Group, she would probably cry and kneel before my sister begging for forgiveness. I want to see then, if Mr. Chambers would dare to speak a word for her!"
"So, do you plan to deal with that mistress?" Jason asked tentatively.
"Heh, is she worthy?"
Evadne casually picked up her glass, elegantly sipping her juice, "When hitting a dog, you must consider its owner. So naturally, I should also count this debt on Matthew."
"But Miss Evadne, Mr. Chambers might not know that the person who had a conflict with his mistress that night was our Ms. Nydia. If he knew in advance."
Evadne raised her eyebrows, "I don't care! I'm the kind of person who is very protective and fierce, and unreasonable. Ignorance is no excuse, not with me!"
In the evening, Evadne didn't let Jason follow her. She drove her car to Camille's studio alone.
"Alea! The goddess graces my humble shop. I'm so honored!" Camille, the designer, personally greeted her mentor, not forgetting to tease her.
Camille originally thought that her mentor being the daughter of the Ashbourne family and having Haron as an alias was already impressive.
But she didn't expect that her mentor had another alias, Alea, which was even more astonishing!
In the fashion and jewelry world, Alea and Haron are big names with great influence.
"Alright, alright, I know it was my fault for hiding my identity from you. Tell me, how can I make it up to you?" Evadne, the big boss, wrapped her arm around Camille's slender waist.
"Your regular visits mean more to me than anything else."
Camille pouted, "Can you not only come here when you need something?"
"Look at how you talk about me, like I'm a scumbag. I'm not that kind of person who only shows up when I need something."
Evadne gently stroked Camille's upturned nose, sighed helplessly, "I'm just really busy. Once I finish this, we can go on a trip, have fun for a few days, okay? I'll cover all the expenses!"
"Yay! Long live the mentor!"
Evadne didn't have time for tea, she hurriedly walked with Camille into the studio.
In the middle of the studio, a mannequin was wearing a nearly finished red and black chiffon gown. The contrast of colors was high-class and breathtaking, radiating an eye-catching elegance.
Under the spotlights, it was gorgeous and dreamy.
Camille once again sighed in admiration, "My God. This dress should only exist in heaven, right? Even a fairy's dress wouldn't be this beautiful!"
