âAshlyn, it⦠it was you who told Ms. Webber to send the dress over?â Naomi was stunned. Butâ¦
Rosalind said that she was to become my sister-in-law. What did she mean by that?
âWhatâs the meaning of this, Rosalind? You⦠Ashlyn has already talked to you, yet you still came and duped me?â
Jonathan felt extremely upset upon hearing Ashlynâs words. âMust you use every trick in the book to win my brother over?â
After he got out of the car with Naomi and her dress was ruined, he quickly contacted Rosalind to prepare another dress for Naomi.
However, Rosalind whined and stated her condition, saying she would help him if he helped her pursue his elder brother Jared.
âYou must help me invite your elder brother to dinner and a movie, understand? Otherwise, I wonât help you!â
At the time, the oblivious Jonathan agreed to it right away for the sake of helping Naomi.
Only now did he realize that he had fallen into Rosalindâs trap!
Seeing his angry look, Rosalind smiled fearlessly, revealing her two canines. âYouâve agreed to help me win over your brother, and Iâve also helped you save your little lover, so⦠as a man, you canât break your promise.â
âWhat little lover? Weâre friends.â Jonathan blushed in a rare display of embarrassment. So many of my colleagues and media are here. What nonsense is this d*mn woman Rosalind spouting?
âMs. Webber, I⦠We are just colleagues. Please donât misunderstand.â Naomi blushed as she quickly explained. It wonât be good if people get the wrong idea.
âColleagues? One who was so anxious when you were in trouble?â Rosalindâs canines were exposed again, and her smile looked somewhat sarcastic. âOh my. You have no idea how anxious he was when he called me.â
Naomi was easily embarrassed, and the fact that no one had ever teased her in person made her turn bright red almost immediately.
Ashlyn cocked an eyebrow and looked at Rosalind. âNo one will regard you as a mute if you keep quiet, you know.â
However, everyone merely saw the aloof designer smiling obsequiously, and even her canines seemed to reflect that as well. âYes, yes. Youâre right, my mentor. Everything you say is right.â
Mentor?
After hearing Rosalindâs words, everyone could not help but widen their eyes in shock.
Rosalind has a princess-like status in the fashion industry of H Nation, and many fashion events take pride in securing her attendance. However, this designer who designs dresses for the presidentâs wife is now smiling obsequiously. Is this an act of bootlicking?
Isabella felt the color drain from her face.
Her mind went blank, and she felt a little confused.
Isnât Ashlyn Lucasâ wife and the lady boss of Nolan Group? Doesnât she merely have slight popularity on the Internet? For a celebrity like me, sheâs an influencer at best⦠But how did she suddenly become Rosalindâs mentor? W-What kind of foolish thing did I do?
Anyone with eyes could tell how close Naomi and Ashlyn were with one another, especially the former, whose reliance on the latter was beyond what words could describe.
Those who were previously waiting to enjoy the show were left dumbstruck.
Even Jonathan stared at Rosalind in surprise. âIf you want to win over my brother, why didnât you ask Ashlyn to help you? Why did you keep clinging to me?â
Rosalind smiled sinisterly with a wicked glint in her round eyes. She inched nearer to him while uttering through gritted teeth, âDo you think I dare to provoke my mentor?â
Of course, itâs because youâre easy to bully and manipulate, little brat.
Jonathan chuckled. âSo you lied to me and tricked me into falling for it.â
He stared at her. Sheâs not a famous designer. Sheâs a wolf in sheepâs clothing.
Only then did realization slowly dawn upon Naomi that the sister-in-law Rosalind mentioned was referring to Jonathanâs sister-in-law and not her brother Lucasâ.
