Christina heard back from Francis at around noon the next day.
Francis texted: I’ve already sent you the contact details. Don’t forget to buy me a meal this weekend.
Christina called the customer after replying to Francis: Sure.

The customer was a woman with a sweet voice. Since Francis had already told the customer about the deal, Christina had a simple conversation with her before agreeing to meet each other during the weekend.
The customer was rather generous because she immediately transferred half of the payment to Christina after the phone call.
Seeing that she finally had some money in her bank account, Christina felt a sense of security.
The weekend came in the blink of an eye, and Christina arrived at Yeatder Villa.
The moment the door opened, Christina was stunned when she saw the pretty woman standing before her. I know her! She’s Linda, Charlie’s dance partner that night! It turns out Francis has referred his mother to me. Why would he do this when he knows exactly who I am He has ulterior motives, doesn’t he?
“You’re Ms. Steele, right? Please, come in.” Linda recognized Christina right away. This lady attended the reception with Nathaniel that night. Mrs. Hadley doesn’t like her, right?
After leading Christina into the villa, the housekeeper served her a pot of tea and said, “Please have some, Ms. Steele.”
Meanwhile, Linda was sizing Christina up. She’s a beautiful girl. No wonder Nathaniel likes her.
“Is it true you designed the gown Mrs. Hadley wore that night?” Linda asked.
Christina nodded. “Yes.”
“I want a gown that looks exactly like hers. I’ll pay you the same amount she paid you.” Linda uttered excitedly.

gown.
Back then, Julia was the most popular socialite in Jadeborough, and she had plenty of men pursuing her. Now, however, Charlie ended up staying in Yeatder Villa instead of the Hadley residence.
With that knowledge in mind, Christina couldn’t help but think there was a conflict between Julia and Linda. Why does she want the same gown as Mrs. Hadley even after she has already gotten her hands on Mrs. Hadley’s husband?
“Mdm. Macall-”
“Oh, please. You can either call me Ms. Macall or Mrs Hadley.” Linda smiled.
Mrs. Hadley? Does Linda want me to acknowledge her identity? If Mrs. Hadley had a good relationship with Linda, I wouldn’t mind. However, it’s a fact they don’t see eye to eye with each other. In order to avoid crossing anyone, Christina smiled and replied, “Ms. Macall, I designed that gown for Mrs. Hadley based on her

Linda’s expression turned grim. “Are you saying I’m not as charming as she is, and she’ll look better than me in that gown?”
