Chapter 535 Shunning Her

Rather than saying that circles were important in Kingbourne, it was more accurate to say that this

phenomenon was quite common and not limited to any particular region.

Even for well–known celebrities, if they were not the brand ambassadors of certain high- end custom

brands, they would still need their connections to borrow the brands‘ products.

The bigger the brand, the better the designers, and the more demanding they were about the person

who wore their clothes and jewelry.

Not just anyone could get their hands on these items.

In fact, to those who were truly wealthy, celebrities were just attractive “display shelves” for when they

chose clothes and jewelry.

Designers wouldn’t dare offend people like them. Then again, they also couldn’t refuse the Quinnell

family directly.

The response given to Alexis was either to participate in international shows or to work on high–end

designs for others. Anyhow, they wouldn’t take the order, and they replied in a very polite manner.

Alexis couldn’t find any fault with them.

It wouldn’t have been a big deal if only one or two designers couldn’t agree to it. But all the designers in

Kingbourne, Huntington included, said they couldn’t free up any time.

Alexis wasn’t stupid. He knew there was a problem when such a situation arose. He immediately

started networking to find out what was going on.

In the end, he found out the truth through his connections.

The person seemed afraid of offending someone and lowered their voice, saying, “Alexis, we go way

back, and we’re both just doing our jobs. I hope you don’t mind what I’m about to

say.”

Alexis, being the amiable person he was, kept smiling as he reassured his acquaintance, ” Rest

assured. I won’t tell anyone else what we’ll talk about today. It’s only between us.”

“That’s why everyone says you’re approachable.”

That person cleared their throat before the sound of a door being closed could be heard. Here’s the

thing. After your old customer, Ms. Quinnell, came to Kingbourne, did she visit those socialites?”

Alexis understood almost instantly upon hearing that. Still, he smilingly explained, “Ms. Quinnell has

been busy. There are a lot of things at work that she has to familiarize herself

with.”

“Alexis, we’ve known each other for years. I trust what you say, but as for other people…”

He shook his head and continued, “An ugly duckling from the countryside has suddenly transformed

into the Quinnell–family’s daughter. The business was even entrusted to her,

“No one would believe that she is capable enough to handle that. As you can see, the rich ladies refuse

to accept her.

“It wouldn’t have mattered if only a few people were in on this. However, I’ve heard those ladies saying

that whichever brand or designer who makes jewelry or dresses for Ms. Quinnell can look forward to

making no sales next year.

“You’re a smart guy, so you know that’s what they mean even if they don’t say it outright.

“No one dares to take orders related to Ms. Quinnell. After all, they have to think about their own future.

“How about you tell Ms. Quinnell to give those ladies a call? It would only benefit Ms.. Quinnell if she

got to know them privately first before the banquet.

“They may not compare to the Quinnell family, but there’s strength in number, Alexis.”

Alexis tried hard to maintain his composure as he listened to the words coming from the

other end of the call.

Of course,

he wouldn’t blame the person who told him this information. He also knew his remark was made

without malice, but rather an analysis based on the usual social rules in

their circle.

However, Alexis was dying to say that Wynter was a remarkable woman.

It was the other ladies who knew nothing because they only knew how to indulge in pleasure!
