The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce-Chapter 323 - 322: A Lifetime of Humiliation
Chapter 323: Chapter 322: A Lifetime of Humiliation
Scarlett Jackson liked it so much that she picked it up and was about to go to the mirror to put it on when the waiter looked embarrassedly at their own manager.
“Mr. Powell, the person who ordered this jewelry is waiting outside.”
Scarlett’s hand holding the jewelry paused, looking confusedly at Mr. Powell.
“What, is this thing already reserved by someone?”
Mr. Powell took a closer look at the jewelry and immediately remembered that it seemed to have been ordered by a big client.
“Miss Jackson, this set of jewelry is indeed reserved by someone else. If I remember correctly, the materials for the jewelry were brought by that client, and we were only responsible for processing it.”
It turned out to be custom-made by someone else’s materials, so the only option was to buy it from the original owner.
Scarlett wasn’t annoyed, and asked the waiter, “Is he outside right now?”
“Yes…”
Scarlett didn’t wait for her to finish speaking and strode toward the outside.
She loved this jewelry too much. Whether it was the design or the materials, it was an excellent piece of jewelry, suitable for collection and even passing down through generations.
Entering this shop, Molly Walker had already guessed somewhat why Michael Gallagher had brought her here.
But she didn’t ask and wasn’t curious, just pretending not to know.
However, before she could even get comfortable on the sofa, an uninvited guest arrived.
Scarlett was wearing a long fur coat, her hair curled into big waves, stepping on towering high heels, looking both delicate and seductive.
She scanned the shop and when she saw Michael Gallagher and Molly Walker, her face twitched slightly.
“Miss Jackson, the person who ordered the jewelry is over there…” The waiter next to her, holding the jewelry, kindly reminded her.
Scarlett paused for a moment, thought about it, and still bravely walked over.
“Mr. Jenkins, Miss Thompson…” Scarlett pointed at the plate in the waiter’s hand, “Is this yours?”
Molly looked at Michael, and Michael didn’t even glance at Scarlett. He stood up, took the jewelry in front of Molly, and asked softly, “Do you like it?”
Seeing the jewelry, Molly’s lips parted slightly, and her heart was filled with amazement.
This design was the interview question she had when she first joined the Gallagher family. At the time, she had made this design, and although the examiner said it was good, the materials were not something ordinary people could afford, so they planned to give her a low score.
She remembered the examiner’s contemptuous words at that time.
“You come from a humble background but designed such an expensive piece of jewelry, which is difficult to circulate in the market. Can I judge that your design is rather ostentatious and fanciful?”
The highest-grade black pearls, diamonds with more than three carats of exquisite carving, and emperor-green jade, any one of them would be of great value.
The examiner’s words didn’t make Molly angry, but rather somewhat remorseful.
Gallagher’s design didn’t stand out, so it was indeed extravagant for her to submit such an assignment during the interview.
Not to mention whether it could enter the market, even if she were the highest leader of the “W” organization, with too much money to spend, such things would still be hard to find.
Some things can’t be bought with just money; luck is also needed.
However, at the time, Michael had only taken a glance at her design, asked her some questions about her design ideas, and still kept her on.
“How did you find these materials?” Molly touched the jewelry, her shock only increasing. Almost every pearl, diamond, and jade drop was perfect.
“Mr. Jenkins collected the materials for this jewelry for three years.” Mr. Powell came out, wearing a black suit with long, straight black hair, looking both professional and valiant.
Three years, which meant he started preparing just after they got married.
Molly’s heart was filled with mixed emotions for a moment.
She thought Michael didn’t care about her, but he just didn’t say anything about it.
His feelings were deep and solid, like the slowly flowing stream.
Mr. Powell walked up to Scarlett Jackson, smiled, and said, “Scarlett, didn’t you say you wanted to buy this set of jewelry? Since it was specially prepared by Mr. Jenkins for his sweetheart, you may not be able to buy it even if you spend a lot of money.”
Hearing this, Scarlett’s face stiffened with a forced smile, her heart aching with pain and jealousy.
It turned out that this was for Ivy Thompson from Michael Gallagher.
Putting aside its worth for the time being, just the intention behind the gift was enough to cause envy.
Having been exposed by Mr. Powell, Scarlett could only go along with it.
“Mr. Jenkins, I also really like this set of jewelry. I will be attending a design competition as a judge soon, and I wonder if you could part with it. No matter the price, I am willing to pay.”
After Scarlett finished speaking, the atmosphere became silent for a moment.
Michael looked at Molly Walker, who glanced at the jewelry and shook her head slowly.
This set of jewelry had meaning to her; she could refuse it, but she would never give it to Scarlett, especially since she was the designer of the jewelry.
Seeing that she was unwilling, Scarlett held her breath, feeling suffocated.
Usually, people would be more accommodating to her in the entertainment industry, but it was only Ivy Thompson who always opposed her time and time again.
“Miss Thompson, I really love this set of jewelry. How about this, give me the contact information of the designer, and I will buy the copyright and make it myself,” Scarlett said, taking a deep breath.
What she liked most was the design, and as for the materials, she could collect those slowly.
If she couldn’t buy it, would she not be able to recreate it in her lifetime?
“I’m sorry, but the designer does not authorize it,” said Molly with a smile, though it didn’t reach her eyes.
Scarlett’s breath caught, and her face showed a trace of anger. “How do you know the designer won’t authorize it? Miss Thompson, if you don’t want to give the contact information, that’s fine, but there’s no need to make things difficult on purpose.”
“Miss Thompson, Scarlett really likes this design and has a good impression of the designer. If you have the designer’s contact information, you might as well provide it as a favor. After all, there’s no need for you to withhold the contact information for the designer…” Mr. Powell, seeing that the atmosphere was tense, hastily tried to ease the situation.
“I did not intentionally make things difficult,” Molly shrugged, looking helpless. “Because the designer is me.”
“I don’t authorize it,” Molly finished, indeed seeing Scarlett’s face turn deathly pale.
Michael looked at Molly, the corner of his lips curling up in a beautiful arc.
Repeatedly being humiliated, Scarlett felt as if she’d lost face completely.

There was no going back on her words now.
She had explicitly expressed admiration for the designer, which meant she admired Ivy Thompson!
How could she have forgotten that Ivy Thompson used to be a designer for the Gallagher family?
A series of blows left Scarlett with pitiful eyes darting at Michael. However, from the moment they entered, his gaze had never fallen on her.
She had already told him that Molly Walker had ulterior motives for being with him, but Zachary Jenkins didn’t believe it, or perhaps he never intended to believe it.
Thinking of the reply she received from those in the ‘W’ organization, Scarlett forcibly suppressed the humiliation in her heart and pulled at the corners of her lips with a strained smile.
No matter how pleased she was at that moment, she would let Ivy Thompson know that the higher one climbed, the harder the fall would be.
“Since Miss Thompson does not want to authorize it, then let it be. In a few days, the world-class jewelry competition finals will be held in Capital City. I heard that your ‘W’ organization will also send people to participate in the competition. Miss Thompson, are you going to attend?”
Scarlett’s voice was soft, as if the unpleasantness from just now had disappeared in an instant.
“I heard that Miss Thompson was originally representing the Gallagher family in the competition, but unfortunately, something happened.”
Scarlett covered the corner of her mouth with her hand and smiled brightly.
She knew a little about the incident; it was Michael who personally revoked Ivy’s qualification to compete.
Although later Ivy represented the Norman family in the competition, she then encountered an accident and lost the opportunity to advance to the next round, so the matter fizzled out.
As a jewelry designer, failing to make it to the finals would be a lifelong disgrace, wouldn’t it?
