Chapter 138

In the end, Jason accepted Elvira's suggestion and allowed her brand to move into his mall. He returned the Kennedy Group's application.

When Calvin received the news, he felt his blood surge. He felt Zach was behind this, deliberately messing with the Kennedy family. Because of Zach's words, the Kennedy family had suffered heavy losses and lost several partners. However, the good news was that Judy's latest design had been chosen by an internationally renowned jewelry master, who had even forwarded her design with a high evaluation.

With the jewelry master's evaluation, the Kennedy Group's new products would definitely be popular. At that time, those who cancelled their collaboration would be the ones to lose!

Calvin was even more certain he had made the right choice in selecting Judy. Although Elvira's middle school scandal was a setup, she hadn't attended a better university. Her educational qualifications destined her to a mediocre life, unlike Judy, a top student in a famous university's design major. Now that Judy's design had been approved by a master designer, her future was limitless.

At the thought of this, Calvin called Judy and asked her out to dinner. Judy happily agreed, and then shared some good news. “Calvin, I was about to call you. Charles has invited me to his banquet the day after tomorrow. Many big shots in the design world will attend!”

“Really? That's great. Judy, you're really my lucky star. Only with you in the Kennedy Group can it be stable,” Calvin said, his voice even gentler.

“Calvin, you and I are one. No matter what happens, I will always help you,” Judy said sweetly.

Calvin was deeply moved. He suddenly said, “Judy, let’s get married!”

When Judy heard Calvin finally say he wanted to marry her, her eyes lit up. She suppressed her excitement and shyness, saying, “Calvin, from the moment I saw you, I swore I would marry no one but you. I’m willing to marry you.”

Calvin wanted to take advantage of Judy's current popularity to quickly produce this quarter's products. Hence, he called the production department to work overtime.

“Mr. Kennedy, working overtime isn't a problem, but our funds are critically low. I don’t know why the bank hasn’t been willing to lend us money recently,” the person in charge said, worried. This was his job, but he couldn't do anything if the bank wouldn't provide funds.

“It doesn’t matter. The response to this product is very good. Just focus on production. I’ll settle the money immediately.” Calvin decided to borrow money from a private source.

Judy’s design was already very popular. In addition, she would be attending Charles’ banquet soon, further enhancing her reputation. The company’s products would definitely sell out.

Elvira received another call from her biological mother, Rowena, who reprimanded her. “Elvira, how could you lie to me?” Rowena sounded disappointed.

“What’s the difference? Why? Will you change because of my husband’s identity? Will you not care about the life and death of your stepson and stepmother and only care about your biological children?” Elvira asked sarcastically.

“How can you talk to your mother like that? No matter what, you can’t lie to me. Besides, why wouldn’t I care about you and Marsh?” Rowena said unhappily.

Marsh has been missing for a long time. Have you asked about him? Do you care if he’s dead or alive? Do you believe what you said?” Elvira couldn’t calm herself down, facing her mother’s favoritism.

“How could Marsh go missing? Did he run away on his own?” Rowena didn’t even care about Elvira, much less Marsh, whom she had never raised.

Elvira felt a dull pain in her chest when she heard that. She felt it wasn’t worth it for her and Marsh! It must be retribution to have such a mother! Elvira could no longer stand her mother’s ruthlessness towards her siblings and hung up the phone.

When Rowena was suddenly hung up on, she frowned fiercely. She felt her daughter was becoming increasingly inconsiderate. This child wasn’t like this when she was young. Why was she becoming more and more insensible as she grew older? Rowena felt Elvira was always jealous of her stepdaughter and stepson. Why didn’t Elvira think about it? Rowena’s stepdaughter and stepson had lost their biological mother! At least Elvira had both parents and was already very blessed.

Elvira received a call from Charles. “Elvira, long time no see. I’ve already sent you the invitation. You have to come tonight,” Charles said with a smile.

Elvira was surprised. She hadn’t received an invitation from Charles. “Where did you send the invitation?”

“Aren’t you the chief designer of the Kennedy Group now? I’ve seen your latest designs. As expected of you, they’re getting more and more exquisite. I still have something on here. See you tonight.” Charles hung up.

Elvira raised her eyebrows. It seemed that Charles had sent the invitation to Judy? So Judy would be attending his banquet tonight. Charles was a foreigner and didn’t speak their language well. He must have only seen Judy impersonating Elvira’s name and didn’t know that Judy was an imposter.

For tonight’s banquet, Elvira brought Cole. She wanted him to film exciting videos and find marketing accounts to post. Today, she wanted Judy’s reputation to be completely ruined! Elvira was wearing a red gown. The fiery red color made her skin look even fairer than snow. She had also done her hair and makeup. She was so beautiful that it made people wonder if she really existed in the mortal world.

Cole came to pick up Elvira. Even though he knew Elvira was beautiful, he was still stunned for a moment. Then, he opened the car door for her and suppressed the surging bitterness in his heart as he sat in the driver’s seat.

When the two of them arrived at the banquet venue, Calvin and Judy happened to arrive. Judy could be said to be in high spirits. The smile on her face was much more sincere. She was now a famous designer in the country and had even been invited by an internationally famous designer. She had even posted Charles’ invitation today and received the support of a group of fans.

Calvin was paying special attention to her now. After all, whether their company could successfully survive this crisis depended on Judy. When he saw Elvira, Calvin’s expression immediately darkened. He believed that the reason his company had encountered this crisis was all because of Elvira! If she had not married the CEO of the Gilbert Group, Calvin’s company would not have suffered such a heavy blow.

Two days ago, Calvin had urgently borrowed 20 million dollars from a private loan. All the money had been used to buy raw materials. The workshop had already accelerated production. When the new product went on the market this time, he wanted to let everyone who had abandoned him because of Zach see how stupid their choice was!
