CHAPTER 134
Hearing that, Chloe immediately flinched. She had thought she was well known in the industry, and the comment made her feel exposed, as if she hadn’t been recognized as Rosalind’s assistant.“Not really,” Chloe replied quickly. “I apologize if my words came off that way, but that’s not what I meant.”“Exactly,” Abrill said. “If you can apologize, they can too.”A heavy silence settled over the hall, suffocating everyone. Abrill’s calm, steady gaze swept over the Springfields before she spoke again, this time colder, sharper.“But if you’re not ready to apologize,” Abrill said, her voice cutting through the air like a blade, “then get out of the way. I have no reason to linger here.”Her words struck like a gavel. Everyone stiffened. If she walked out, the Springfield name would not only lose the partnership but also be publicly humiliated in front of the city’s elite.Rosalind’s stomach churned. She could almost hear the ticking of the clock in her ears. Her eyes darted to her family
CHAPTER 133
Murmurs erupted the moment Rosalind spoke. At first, everyone thought she would simply stand there in silence and let Ms. Vesper leave. But against all expectations, Rosalind managed to speak up.Abrill paused, tilting her head slightly as she regarded Rosalind. Her sharp, inquisitive gaze lingered on the determined set of Rosalind’s jaw and the fire in her eyes.A flicker of curiosity crossed Abrill’s face. She wondered just how far she could push this young woman.“You didn’t know, did you?” Abrill asked, her tone calm but tinged with teasing curiosity.Rosalind’s throat tightened. She hesitated, then shook her head. “No… I didn’t.”Abrill’s lips curved into a faint smile. “Then why don’t you take a guess?” she suggested, her voice smooth, challenging.Rosalind’s eyes narrowed slightly as she fought to keep her composure.“This is a professional setting,” she said carefully. “I wouldn’t want to make guesses here. It wouldn’t be appropriate.”“Professional?” Abrill’s voice hardened,
CHAPTER 132
“How can it be her?” Rosalind whispered, her brows furrowing in disbelief.She couldn’t believe that the person she had once seen as a rival was none other than Ms. Vesper. In that instant, she realized the first impression she had wanted to make was already lost. They had already formed their opinions of each other.Her head snapped toward Sean, who met her gaze with an expressionless face. The indifference only fueled her irritation.Not only had he failed to tell her that his new lover was Ms. Vesper, but he had also allowed her to speak so carelessly in front of her. Now, she was certain Sean was still bitter about the divorce and was letting her walk straight into humiliation as payback.Sean only shrugged slightly and turned his head away, fully aware of what Rosalind was thinking. He had no intention of letting her pin the blame on him for something beyond his control. After all, she had chosen to say what she did, and he had no part in it.Seeing that Sean had dismissed her, R

CHAPTER 130
For a moment, silence reigned. Their expressions froze in collective disbelief, eyes darting between one another as if hoping someone else would confirm what they had just heard.Rosalind’s gaze faltered as she stared at Abrill, waiting for her to laugh it off as a joke. But Abrill wore a look of confidence that only deepened Rosalind’s confusion. She raised her head to glance at Sean, but his expression was unreadable, giving no hint as to whether Abrill was lying or not.More than that, he didn’t even seem to be paying attention; his gaze was elsewhere, detached from their heated exchange.Then, as if on cue, they all erupted.“Don’t be ridiculous!” Lillian exclaimed, shaking her head furiously. “That’s impossible!”“Do you think we’re fools?” Jullian snarled, his face twisted with scorn. “Stop lying! Do you even know what kind of person Ms. Vesper is supposed to be?”Even Rosalind, who had wavered in suspicion a moment earlier, stepped forward with a sharp, disdainful laugh. For a
CHAPTER 129
Though Nate was waiting for a reaction from Sean, Sean only looked away, as if he couldn’t care less about what Nate was trying to pull.“The main event will be starting soon since Ms. Vesper is here,” Sean said flatly. “Are you going to keep showing her this performance?”At those words, everyone immediately turned their heads toward the door, expecting to see a woman walk in. Rosalind panicked and whipped around, but when she saw no one there, she quickly snapped her head back to Sean.Realizing she’d been tricked, irritation flashed across her face, her brows knitting tightly.Rosalind’s voice sliced the air. “Why do you have to play around with something like that?!” she snapped.“You think this is a joke?” Jullian barked. “Do you realize how serious this is? Don’t throw names like hers around carelessly!”“Exactly,” Lillian chimed in, glaring at Sean. “How can you say Ms. Vesper is here, acting like you know what you’re talking about? Are you trying to stir chaos?”Abrill’s eyes
