Chapter 1286 The Reason

In any case, Carly’s grandmother kept frowning on Mandy’s designs. Mandy genuinely didn’t know

what kind of style the old lady desired, so she felt compelled to propose making a luxurious

dress using the finest materials. However, Carly’s grandmother was even more opposed to that idea.

Just when Mandy was at a loss, Carly’s grandmother suggested she wanted a design similar to the one

Janet created for Hannah and asked Mandy to make the dress according to Janet’s design.

Naturally, Mandy couldn’t agree. Plagiarism was a taboo in the fashion industry.

As a renowned designer, she couldn’t plagiarize, regardless of how impressive someone else’s design

might be.

Their discussion went on for some time without resolution. Eventually, Carly asked Mandy to leave and

said they would discuss it another day.

Not long after Mandy returned, Carly informed her that she had changed her mind and decided to hire

Janet.

When Janet learned the whole story, she sighed and shook her head. “Miss Hamilton, Carly’s

grandmother didn’t mean that you should plagiarize.” Mandy frowned and asked in confusion, “Then

why did she want me to create a design like yours?”

Janet explained patiently, “She desires a natural and comfortable design, and your designs are all

extravagant and intricate. It’s normal to have this outcome since you didn’t take the client’s needs into

account.” Mandy’s furrowed brow slightly relaxed. She pondered, “She wants a natural and comfortable

design?”

Noticing Mandy deep in thought, Janet knew Mandy had grasped the concept. She continued to

explain, “You took this order just to humiliate me, didn’t you? You didn’t consider whether your style

was suitable for this order at all. During the discussion, you didn’t listen to the client’s needs carefully

and kept pursuing a luxurious and extravagant style. That’s why Carly stopped cooperating with you.”

After listening to Janet, Mandy had a moment of clarity. It wasn’t until then that she remembered how

every time she mentioned expensive fabrics and extravagant styles, Carly’s Grandmother immediately

frowned and hesitated, appearing quite uncomfortable.

At the time, she assumed Carly’s grandmother wasn’t satisfied with the designs. But now, Mandy

realized she didn’t like that style at all. Mandy had to admit that she was reluctant to accept this order

initially.

Her style was always opulent, and her clientele comprised wealthy ladies. She had never made clothes

for an elderly woman from the countryside.

So when she found out Carly planned to cancel the order, she was secretly relieved. Only when she

learned Carly had chosen her rival, Janet, did Mandy become so furious that she confronted Janet.

Seeing Mandy finally understood the situation, Janet breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew Mandy wasn’t a bad person. Mandy was merely a pampered lady from a wealthy family. If

possible, Janet didn’t want to have a conflict with her.

Just when Janet thought the matter was resolved, Mandy suddenly stood up and stared at her.

Alarmed, Janet exclaimed, “What are you going to do?”
