Restoring a Life After Seven Years of Wrong Love novel Chapter 17

Many attendees gasped in awe as they looked at Willow. Whispers of praise quickly rippled through the crowd.

"Who is the woman next to Mr. Shelby? Which prominent family is she from? I've never seen her in our circles before. Her elegance, her face, her figure—absolutely flawless."

"You don't know? That's his girlfriend. She's been keeping him company in his office every single day recently. The employees at the Shelby Group say they're practically inseparable."

"Ah." The man sounded slightly disappointed. He definitely wouldn't dare make a move on Jabez's woman.

"Honestly, I think the woman sitting in the corner in the white dress is even more gorgeous. Her beauty is aggressively stunning. It makes you want to conquer her!"

The woman he was referring to was Yvette. She was wearing a sleek white mermaid gown. Her aura was immaculate and slightly aloof, completely unique among the entire crowd.

Seeing the breathtaking couple standing together, Yvette genuinely wanted to applaud them as a match made in heaven. If she wasn't currently Jabez's wife, that is.

A massive crowd had formed around them, and since Yvette was seated in a dim corner, Jabez completely failed to notice her.

After a long while, the crowd around them finally began to thin out.

Jabez's indifferent gaze briefly brushed past Yvette before sliding away, acting exactly as if she were a total stranger. No one in the room could have ever guessed they had been married for seven years!

When Willow spotted Yvette, her brows furrowed.

This museum exhibition was an incredibly exclusive event; there was absolutely no way Yvette had the credentials to get a ticket. Willow guessed Sybil must have pulled strings for her. Otherwise, she never would have made it through the doors.

Whatever. Once Yvette witnessed her sheer, overwhelming talent, she'd finally understand the insurmountable gap between them!

At that thought, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

Trent was thinking the exact same thing.

"Hello, Mr. Sutton, I'm Willow Huxley." She proactively extended her hand.

The Azure Atelier was a dark horse in the restoration industry, specializing in antique paintings and calligraphy mounting, while also partnering heavily with premier auction houses.

More importantly, the legendary master restorer 'Raine' belonged to the Azure Atelier! She had published a textbook-level guide on restoration techniques, and the contents had shocked the entire industry!

Antique restoration typically relied on traditional methods, but Raine had invented an entirely new, groundbreaking approach based on her own unique insights. The most astonishing part was that this new technique caused significantly less damage to the original artifacts.

However, it required an impossibly high level of technical mastery. Willow couldn't quite replicate it yet. So she wanted to join the Azure Atelier and study directly under Raine. That way, she could master the most cutting-edge restoration techniques in the world.

"Hello, Mr. Shelby." The smile on Matthew's face faded slightly before he shook her hand. "Matthew Sutton."

"We've spoken online before. I'm not sure if you remember?" Willow's eyes were practically shining with anticipation.
