Chapter 594

Chapter 594:

“I hope you approach this design with the utmost seriousness, as it represents Nigel’s trust in you.”

“I understand, Amy. I’ll do my best,” Sadie assured her earnestly.

Amy nodded in approval. “I trust you will.”

They continued discussing details until Sadie had all the information she needed. Then, she rose to leave. “Amy, I’ll take my leave now.”

“Alright, take care.”

Sadie left the private room and the building.

Just after her departure, Vivi arrived, pausing nervously outside the door to collect her thoughts. Since the plagiarism scandal, her studio’s clients had either demanded refunds or canceled their orders. For someone as proud as Vivi, the blow to her reputation was intolerable. Zoe was her chance at redemption.

Determined to secure the opportunity today, she abruptly opened the door. She walked directly to Amy and gave a slight bow.

“Amy, I apologize for my lateness. I acted impulsively before, and I hope you can overlook that.”

Amy offered her a cool glance, clearly not interested in dredging up the past. “Take a seat.”

Vivi sat, her demeanor subdued.

As Amy perused the menu, Vivi said, “I heard Nigel has entrusted you with Zoe’s wedding jewelry design?”

Amy looked up, her expression unreadable. She knew Vivi well enough to sense the ulterior motive behind her words. So the apology was just a facade—this was Vivi’s true intent. Amy closed the menu, her disappointment palpable, and the mood soured instantly.

Vivi felt the intensity of Amy’s stare, her own nails pressing into her palms, but she maintained a polite smile. “Amy, despite my past errors, I’m sincere about starting anew.”

She reached out for Amy’s hand, her gesture one of desperation. “Amy, I’m your student too. It’s unfair to treat us so differently! I can’t be excluded from the design community!”

Amy stood and withdrew her hand.

In that moment, realization dawned on Vivi.

Tears sprang to her eyes, disbelief etching her features. She had humbled herself so deeply—how could Amy remain indifferent?

“Vivi, you’re undeniably talented, but your temperament and character…”

Amy shook her head, choosing not to continue.

The implication of her words was unmistakable.

Her disappointment in her once-promising student was irreparable.

“Vivi, some things are hard to change. You need time, reflection, and personal growth. I’ve entrusted Zoe’s design project to Sadie. Focus on improving yourself, and once you’ve truly changed, I’ll be here to support you.”

It was always Sadie. That bitch.

Vivi’s facade crumbled, revealing a look of raw jealousy.

“Why, Amy? Why do you only help her? What makes her better than me? Why does she deserve everything?”

Vivi’s anger escalated dangerously.

In a rash act, she grabbed a nearby ashtray and hurled it at Amy.
