When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 131: Turning the Blame Toward Faye Turner

"Who are you calling a special connection?" Serena Sutton was pricked, raising her voice, "Even though I just joined your company, I had works prior to this!"

"Ha!" Jake chuckled, casually pointed around, and asked piercingly, "Who here doesn’t have works? Can anyone survive in Prestige without a certain level of achievement?"

Serena Sutton was suddenly at a loss for words!

The flames of conflict were ignited. Everyone, enjoying the spectacle, quickly stopped what they were doing and collectively turned to watch the two of them.

Jake continued to criticize, "No matter what event, there are always a few people relying on connections, but this is normal."

Just as Serena Sutton, feeling indignant, wanted to argue back, a receptionist walked in holding a bouquet of flowers, "Excuse me, which one of you is Miss Faye Turner?"

The unassuming Faye Turner lifted her eyes and found all eyes on her. She promptly stood up, "That’s me."

The receptionist, holding lilies, walked towards her, "Hello, these were sent for you by Mr. Moon. He insisted that I personally deliver them to you. Please sign for them."

She was stunned, feeling a bit embarrassed.

The surrounding colleagues assumed it was a suitor and started whispering, "Is it a boyfriend?"

As she was signing, someone quietly teased—

"Faye Turner, isn’t your ideal type a CEO? How come it’s Mr. Moon?"

"Could it be a womanizer? How does someone still have such a tacky name these days?"

After signing, Faye Turner took the lilies, smiled, and thanked the receptionist. Once they left, she sat down and discovered an invitation tucked inside.

She took it out and opened it, and her name was printed inside.

This scene was also witnessed by her colleagues, including Serena Sutton, leaving everyone incredulous!

"No way?" Serena Sutton directly questioned, "Did you get yourself a sugar daddy? You don’t even have any work! Fresh into the design industry! Not even qualified to be a waitress!"

She aimed to shift the blame onto Faye Turner!

Faye Turner put down the lilies, placed the invitation in the drawer, and turned her gaze to her, "Where do you get your sense of superiority? You say I have a sugar daddy, where’s the evidence? Do you think the organizers are fools?"

"Right, Jake! The organizers aren’t fools either!" Serena Sutton said with a smile, "I just think that the level of this networking event has been lowered by people like you, with no works relying only on connections. If it were me, I wouldn’t dare to squeeze in! It would be embarrassing!"

"Just take care of yourself." Faye Turner wasn’t angry, "Sometimes what you think is merely what you see, that’s your well." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"My well?" She couldn’t help but laugh proudly, "My well is much broader than yours! You just live in your well, be your own frog, and watch your own sky!"

Faye Turner wasn’t angry, nor did she want to bicker with her any further.

She had to stay calm in everything, because she’s pregnant, and a mother’s stable emotions are the best prenatal education for the child.

Serena Sutton also didn’t bother her anymore. She was eagerly looking forward to tonight’s networking event, where she could meet old friends and make new ones.

Most importantly, she could see Adrian!

In such a grand setting, she must make herself the most beautiful, stunning presence!

And create moments with Adrian to make him fall in love with her!

Thus, Serena Sutton called the most famous dress shop in Argent—

"Hello, I’m Serena Sutton. I previously showed interest in that treasure piece in your store. Can you give me a little more discount?"

"Sorry, the price has just been adjusted. It’s gone up by two hundred thousand."

"What?!" She was stunned, "How did it go up so quickly?"

"Would you still need it? If so, we can hold it for you since it’s a designer piece and priced according to the market."

She had considered the previous price for two days. The moment she received the invitation, she decided to grit her teeth and buy it.

But... it’s gone up again?

"Sorry, I don’t need it anymore..." Serena Sutton dejectedly hung up the phone.
