Chapter 337

As it turned out, this was because she found out that Rayan would also show up at that Fashion Week. To her, the sooner she came into contact with him, the higher her chances of success; she could put up with being used by Arthur as long as she could complete her task.

The next day, Arthur woke her from sleep early in the morning.

Getting up on the wrong side of the bed, Elspeth stood up with a yawn, glowering furiously at the man who removed her blanket. “Arthur! How could you—”

Only then did Elspeth lower her guard. She picked up the gown with a smile, saying, “Fine, I believe you.”
