Chapter 215 Despise
Just after Nicole left the room, Joanna followed.
Nicole saw her entering the ladies just after she was done. Since both of them weren’t familiar with each other, Nicole simply washed her hands and did not intend to pay any attention to Joanna.
Seeing Nicole ignoring her, Joanna approached Nicole herself.
She put on an apologetic face and said hypocritically, “Miss Lisa, I’m sorry that my design happened to match Triton Studio’s jewelry.”
Hearing that, Nicole simply glanced at Joanna and saw the woman’s pretentious apologetic expression. However, Nicole wasn’t angry. She hummed nonchalantly, her eyes squinting.
Joanna found it odd that Nicole wasn’t angry. Nonetheless, she moved closer to Nicole and said, “Wendy actually prefers yours. I simply benefited unfairly from the jewelry.”
“At least you know that,” Nicole said while looking leisurely at Joanna with her lips pursed.
Joanna had not expected Nicole to be so candid, so when she heard that, she changed her expression. After a while, she regained her composure and said smilingly, “But Wendy chose my design eventually. She will be wearing my design at her eighteenth birthday party!”
To that, Nicole turned off the water-tap and said coldly, “You’re just an opportunist who cut corners.”
Then, she turned to face Joanna and said disdainfully, “I thought the Gardner Corporation’s design director is someone upright, but it turns out that she would conspire with outsiders just to win.”
Joanna’s expression changed when she heard that. “Miss Lisa, are you being so nasty to me just because I won?” she asked, her eyes narrowed and her face filled with displeasure.

What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
