Let Me Stay The Night

Chapter 288 Carrying Out Orders.

Jewel rolled her eyes dismissively, huffing. “She’s just a mediocre designer. What’s so special about that? She’s only making a name for herself by riding on Nathaniel’s coattails.”

Then, she turned to Christina and said, “The woman who ordered your clothes last night was obviously trying to curry favor with Hadley Corporation. Who would be interested in your stuff otherwise?”

Christina was no pushover and wouldn’t tolerate this impertinent young lady.

With a cold smile playing on her lips, she retorted, “Let’s not forget who threw a fit backstage last night after failing to get a few dresses. I wonder who it was who hit and yelled at people?”

Jewel’s face turned ashen, her eyes glaring at Christina as if she wanted to devour the latter whole.

Just who does this woman think she is? Does she actually believe her position as Mrs. Hadley is already secure? How dare she talk to me like this!

Noticing the imminent quarrel between the two, Julia cast a pacifying gaze at Jewel.

Jewel was seething. She was her parents‘ treasured child, pampered since her childhood.

Even after debuting in the entertainment industry, she was catered to by many influential figures in the industry, all because of her ties to Hadley Corporation. This was the first time she had been so humiliated.

Suddenly, a mischievous glint appeared in her eyes. “I have a party later today, with all the biggest stars attending. Why don’t you come too, Christina?”

Christina was suspicious of Jewel’s seemingly kind invitation. She was sure that there was some ulterior motive.

Hence, she began to contemplate a way to decline the offer.

Seeing Christina’s silence, Jewel continued, “Don’t say I didn’t look out for you. This isn’t just any party. You could hand out a few business cards and attract many customers.”

Her tone was boastful, as if she was doing Christina a huge favor.

Christina had no interest in attending any party. She was about to decline when Julia intervened. “You two are of the same age, and we’re a family. It’s good for you to interact more.”
