Chapter 377: Chapter 377

Alyssa did not attend the jewelry show to flaunt her status as Winston Taylor’s daughter. She had two goals.

Firstly, to address the allegations of snatching the opportunity from Beckett Group through media interviews to stop the speculations.

Secondly, she delivered pastries to Ada at the venue, mainly to monitor Betty’s movements and gain control over the situation.

She would never allow that calculative bitch to gain the upper hand.

Ada showed up with a distinguished middle-aged man dressed in a brown suit.

“Ms. Alyssa, allow me to introduce you,” Ada said with a smile. “This is Vincent Carter, the global CEO of AX and a dear friend of mine.”

“Vincent, this is Alyssa Taylor, the manager of KS World Hotel. She’s a talented lady!”

Vincent, a native of Yoarkley with blonde hair and blue eyes, hailed from a blue-blooded family.

“Mr. Carter, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Welcome to Solana City,” Alyssa greeted him with a warm smile as she extended her hand.

“Nice to meet you too, Ms. Taylor. It’s our honor to have you at AX’s show,” Vincent replied in halting Cyrrisian and shook her hand.

Ada’s eyes darted between the two. She sensed that something was off. This should have been the first encounter between Vincent and Alyssa, but they gave off a feeling that they were familiar with each other.

The reporters were gaping at the two. Vincent had royal blood and carried himself with poise and haughtiness. However, he beamed warmly at Alyssa like she was family.

Everyone was in awe of Alyssa. They assumed that it was only normal for a ravishing beauty to attract the attention of men.

“Ms. Taylor, what a coincidence!/I didn’t expect to run into you here.” Zoe lifted the hem of her floor-

length gown and trotted to Alyssa with the grace of a swan.

Her dark eyes sparkled. A fairylike smile appeared on her face.

Alyssa squinted at Zoe with a sharp gaze. Next, she gave Zoe the cold shoulder and turned to Vincent and Ada with a smile. “Let’s chat on the side.”

Zoe was shaking in anger when she was blatantly ignored. How could they dismiss Landon Harper’s little sister?

Vincent and Ada had the same thought of finding a quieter spot to chat.

When they were about to leave, Zoe forced a smile suddenly and announced, “Ms. Alyssa, your jewelry set today is stunning! The pairing of Pigeon Blood Rubies and rose gold is classic indeed. It immediately attracted my attention from afar.”

Her comment immediately drew everyone’s attention to Alyssa’s jewelry. Alyssa responded with a gracious smile, saying, “Thank you.”

“But the jewelry isn’t from AX, right?” she bluntly pointed out.

The onlookers did a double-take and found it out, too. Alyssa’s jewelry was gorgeous, but anyone with decent jewelry knowledge could tell it wasn’t an AX product.

This appeared to have gone against the rules of the AX brand, and Alyssa had committed this faux pas in front of the global CEO.

“It’s AX’s jewelry show today, but you’re wearing pieces from other brands. That seems rather inappropriate, don’t you think?” Zoe raised her chin with a mocking look.

She continued, “Considering your status and the backing of the Belbanks KS Group, showing some respect to the event’s organizer shouldn’t be a difficult task. After all, you’re here for their event, aren’t you?

“Or perhaps you’re wearing your own brand and using this show as a platform to promote your products?

That’s impressive. What a capable businesswoman you are!

“You’ve certainly displayed remarkable sales and marketing skills!” Zoe’s caustic remarks hit the mark, leaving the reporters staring at Alyssa and murmuring among themselves.
