At noon, Juliet didn't forget to call JJ to let him know that she would be late coming home tonight due to an exhibition.
When Juliet called, JJ happened to be having lunch.
When he saw Juliet's name flashing on the screen, JJ hurriedly nudged DD with an excited expression.
"DD, look! I also have a special family phone number. Juju is calling me!" JJ said.
Before DD could answer, JJ was already running out excitedly. His footsteps seemed to be carried by the wind, and he seemed to have won something.
JJ stood in the classroom corridor to answer the phone, "Hello? Juju!"
JJ's cheerful tone made Juliet feel depressed. Every time she contacted JJ, it seemed only to disappoint the boy.
JJ is not an annoying kid. He just needs to be acknowledged and cared for. JJ is not a pushy child; as long as the reason is reasonable, JJ will accept everything.
Juliet told JJ her plans for the evening; in return, JJ sounded sad.
"Is that true? Daddy won't be coming home for dinner tonight either. I'm the only one left."
"What?" This made Juliet even more regretful, and all she could say was, "Then you can wait for me to come home tonight, and I'll take you out to play this weekend."
Hearing this answer, JJ immediately became happy again. "Alright, that's a deal!"
Juliet returned to the rented house and looked at the material she had prepared beforehand. First, Juliet records all the brands invited to participate in today's exhibition.
After sorting out some of the documents and materials that needed to be brought to the exhibition grounds, she opened her closet and started selecting clothes. Most of the clothes are designed by her and sewn by Karen.
Thinking that she would meet Edward in the evening, Juliet's eyes flashed with revenge. But then, her gaze shifted to her black dress.
Juliet went alone to the exhibition site in the evening from her rented house. She drove her car into the parking lot, and the luxurious vehicles around her starkly contrasted her mini sedan, but Juliet didn't care. Instead, she put on her coat and got out of the car with her bag.
Juliet queued with many guests to enter the venue in succession. Today's organizer is 'HERS,' and Edward's men are sure to greet the guests at the door.
Juliet was 1.7 meters tall and wearing a simple black dress. However, her magnificent appearance was still very conspicuous even among the many well-dressed people. Her hair was curled at the bottom and flowed beautifully. Her sword-like eyebrows blended with the makeup on the eyelids to become deeper and more charming, and the outline of her facial features was clearly visible.
Inside the little coat, a perfectly sexy black dress enveloped her well-proportioned figure. The black dress made her skin look smoother, and her white neck looked slender. In addition, the V-neck collar makes her plump chest look more seductive.
The simple and beautiful clothes made many people pay attention to Juliet.
Before long, someone whispered and guessed her identity.
"Is she the representative sent by the partner?"
"Look at her appearance and figure. Is she a model who entered the wrong room?"
"She is very beautiful. Not knowing which company she's from, we'd better say hi to her later."
As more and more people were talking about Juliet, Edward's Secretary, who was monitoring the situation at the entrance, joined in overhearing their conversation. She then looked away and hurriedly ran towards Juliet after seeing her clearly.
"Miss Estele…." The Secretary called out to her publicly, trying to pull Juliet aside, but Juliet didn't budge.
The Secretary's approach caught the attention of others, and the attention became even higher for a while.
"Miss Estelle, come with me." The Secretary said anxiously.
"The exhibition is about to start. I have to hurry to the venue." Juliet stood still and didn't move, exuding an elegant aura.
Upon hearing this, the Secretary became even more anxious.
She approached Juliet and whispered, "Miss Estelle, Mr. Edward has revoked your permission to attend. Don't make things difficult for me, okay? There are so many people here, you will be embarrassed later."
Hearing her words, Juliet Lifted her lips and smiled. Just as Juliet was about to take out her entry badge, Morgan's voice was heard from not far away.
"Juliet, what are you doing there? Follow me to the VIP line!"
As soon as Morgan's voice fell, everyone looked at him. But, of course, they didn't expect a big company like JAX to also attend this exhibition. Previously, JAX rarely participated in the launch of lesser-known brands.
Now, everyone knew about Juliet's identity, but the Secretary couldn't help but look at Juliet with a very surprised look.
"Miss Estelle, you…."
Juliet gave her a faint smile before she could finish her words. "Excuse me."
Then, Juliet walked toward Morgan, passed through the VIP channel with Morgan in front of everyone's eyes, and continued to the exhibition hall.
Even though it was only a rear view, her figure, walking posture, and extraordinary temperament were enough to attract the attention of those present. Very unforgettable.
The fact that Juliet had come to attend the exhibition was immediately noticed by Edward backstage on the runway.
Hearing the news, Edward lifted his lips and smiled sarcastically. 'Sure enough, she came one way or another.'
There was no denying that Juliet was very charming, but Edward didn't accept it because he felt he had been tricked by her. So, ever since Juliet decided, Edward had been waiting for Juliet to come to him and beg for mercy so she could stay in the design world.
Only if Juliet pleaded with him would he feel relieved and get his pride back which he thought had been trampled on by Juliet.
As Edward was thinking triumphantly, the Secretary said, "She's coming with the Director of JAX Corporation, Morgan."
'What?!'
This news shocked Edward.
'That woman didn't come alone but became Morgan's companion? Since when did Juliet get to know people from the JAX Company?'
Edward thought with a frown, and Jasmine beside him immediately added a few words, "I guessed it."
"What do you mean ?" Edward's tone clearly expressed displeasure.
"I had expected my sister to sell her body for a chance." Jasmine looked sorry.
Hearing this, Edward's expression sank.
During the year Edward and Juliet dated, apart from holding hands and kissing a few times, there was no over-intimacy. Edward had no idea that Juliet was only pretending to be so self-conscious.
'Juliet, you really don't put me in your heart?! The year we've been dating, you won't even let me get to you! But now, for the sake of being able to attend the exhibition, you're selling yourself?! Damn it!' Edward roared in his heart, his face suddenly turning very ugly.
Seeing this, Jasmine purposely continued to ask the Secretary, "That man who came with my sister must be much older, right?"
"Right, he is a famous fashion designer in his forties. He has won many international awards and is currently the Design Director of JAX." The Secretary reported honestly.
A gleam of pride flashed across Jasmine's eyes, and she continued, "That's not surprising. My sister wanted to get into the design world, and the man she depended on now could give her a lot of resources. Uh, Brother Edward, it's not that I'm demeaning your status, but my sister—"
"Enough!" Edward interrupted angrily. His tone was full of annoyance. "The exhibition will start soon."
After that, Edward walked away angrily. He walked to the front desk. His tall and athletic posture made his appearance look extraordinary. However, his face was red, and his jaw muscles tightened with anger.
Jasmine's words were so clear that Juliet only meant to use them as a stepping stone. In addition, Juliet hides the past from him, pretends not to let him touch her, doesn't contact him after breaking up, and finds the next man in no time.
All this proves that Juliet doesn't really like him. Though he was young and promising in his only twenties, in Juliet's heart, he wasn't even comparable to an older man in his forties!
Edward couldn't accept this; he was furious!
Staring at Edward's back, who was walking further and further away, Jasmine, who was still standing on the spot, had a triumphant smile on her face.
Just as the Secretary was about to catch up with Edward, Jasmine immediately reached out to grab the Secretary's arm and asked expectantly, "Wait, I heard a lot of entertainment figures attending today's exhibition. Where are they gathered?"
While speaking, Jasmine clenched her fists as if she was ready to go into battle.
