Chapter 174 A Mysterious Gift
Silas replied to him politely, âThank you, please come in!â Instead of moving into the studio, Marcus
stood on the spot and turned to look at the superstars who were filling in. âCamila, they came here
for your reputation. Just give them a discount.â
Camila knew very well that the superstars did not come here for her. Perhaps Marcus asked them to
come, which they obliged to. Anyway, she smiled at them and agreed, âThat's not a problem. If
Marcus says so, I will offer him a family discount. Ladies, please take a look around. For you,
everything is 12% percent off.â Upon hearing that, the women showed excited reactions. âThank
you, Camila!â Across the street, Lyla's fashion studio was unusually lonely. She stood at the display
window and observed the cars driving over to Camilaâs studio, which had piles of flower baskets at
the entrance. Camila even put up ads on the billboards around the city as if she was worried that no
one would notice her opening ceremony. What a show-off! The more she shows off, the sooner bad
luck befalls her! Lyla thought to herself with resentment. Sarah stood beside her with envy in her
eyes. Ever since Lyla was exposed for plagiarising at the competition, her studio lost a lot of
business, and all employees left except for Sarah. All of a sudden, she tugged at Lyla. âMiss Lyla,
they're wearing items from Camilaâs studio, right? Just now, I saw Gillian Thompson arriving in a
different outfit. She must have changed.â Following Sarah's gaze, Lyla noticed that not only Gillian
Thompson changed her outfit. Jean Ford, Abby Elliot, and Ruth Paxton, the stars she was familiar
with, had changed into outfits from Camila's studio as if they were promoting the designer for free.
I hate this! I hate this so much! Lyla's fingernails dug into the flesh of her palm in envy, but she did
not feel the pain at all. Dealing with the divorce request from Miles Ryan, her son's alienation from
her, and the cold reception from her doting father, Lyla lost both her reputation and her family. On
top of that, her only studio was about to shut down. As for Camila, she looked merry, swimming
around different men, her career and her relationships looking bright and promising. In Summer
City, most residents must have heard of Camila Brooklyn. Lyla was really skeptical as to why did the
men around Camila not bat an eye about her past? Didn't they find it disgusting that she had slept
with a beggar underneath Jordan Bridge? Why would they please her one after another?
Oh, right! Perhaps they were totally in the dark about Camilaâs past! At the thought of that, a cruel
smile appeared on Lyla's face. She thought that she should give things a push. On the other side,
Camila was stunned by the sight of the superstars dressed in her designs. âCamila, how is it? Isn't
my marketing idea brilliant?â Marcus beamed at her, to which she replied with a nod and a smile.
"Yeah. Thank you, everyone.â Silas lifted a brow in amusement because he wasn't expecting a stroke
of genius from Marcus. Indeed, the power of superstars was the best marketing. Silas's ads shocked
the entire Summer City, but Marcus's ad was directed at a targeted audience. Clad in Camila's
outfits, the superstars started to do a catwalk at the entrance of the studio, which successfully
attracted a lot of attention from passersby. Suddenly, another car approached the studio and rolled
to a stop at the entrance. This time, Silas and Camila exchanged a glance because this was a van,
which looked nothing like what a guest would ride. The van driver hopped off and asked, âWho's
Camila Brooklyn?â She went up to him. âI am.â The driver grunted and handed her a pen in a
professional manner. âPlease sign this.â She took the pen and signed while asking, âWhat's that?"
The driver answered, âA money tree.â Astonished, Camila gasped, âA money tree? Where is it from?â
âI don't know either. I'm just a delivery man. Isn't the sender address written on the delivery slip?â
