A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 148

I handed my design drafts to Villar.

Villar was a middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s. He looked kind, and was very different from those frivolous businessmen.

He took a very serious look at my design drafts, then looked up at me and said in Portuguese, "I like the clothes designed by you Chinese people. Moreover, the traditional Chinese cheongsam is very popular in Brazil. Your design is very special and carries national style of Chinese characteristics. I am very satisfied."

After my assistant translated it for me, I said modestly immediately, "It's my honor. In this case, why don't we sign the contract?"

Villar was a very straightforward person and he nodded. Seeing this, I felt so happy in my heart.

I worked hard for more than a week, and all my hard work really paid off.

I got up and shook hands with Villar. When we were about to sign the contract, Betty came over with a woman in a suit.

"Mr. Villar, how about looking at the design draft of our Fang's Group? My father is Leonard. You should know him." Betty spoke to Villar with fluent Portuguese.

Villar shook hands with Betty with joy in his eyes. Then he looked at me apologetically and left with Betty's assistant.

I watched Villar leave and glared at Betty with anger, "Betty, what do you mean?"

"What? Didn't you see it just now? Villar wants to cooperate with our Fang's Group now."

"You..." Looking at Betty's arrogant look, I was so angry that my stomach hurt.

Betty smiled and walked to me. She said evilly to me, "Ashley, you're not qualified to help Edward. I warn you, Edward is mine. In the future, no matter which client you cooperate with, I will take him away. Let's see how you can support the Xi's Group."

"You're so mean." I looked coldly at Betty's smug look and couldn't help growling in a low voice.

"It's impossible for you to fight against me." Betty looked at me with a sneer. Her beautiful and sinister eyes suddenly looked at my belly.

Being stared at by her like this, I couldn't help but feel a chill on my back.

I hugged my belly and asked with a frown, "What do you want to do?"

"Ashley, I'll wait for your child's death."

All of a sudden, Betty gave me a strange look and left the cafe with a happy smile.

Watching Betty leave like a madman, I couldn't help but feel cold in my hand.

Betty was insane. It was unpredictable what she would do.

So I must watch out for her. My order was screwed up by Betty, and the Xi's Group fell into a crisis again. Maybe it was because Betty, the partners who signed the contract with the Xi's Group broke the contact one after another. They even paid the breach of contract damages, and they refused to cooperate with the Xi's Group.

"Miss Mu, what should we do now?"

The assistant looked at me and asked anxiously.

I looked at the assistant and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, you go to deal with other things first. I'll think about it."

"Okay."

After the assistant left, I sat alone at my desk, holding my face and thinking of a plan tiredly.

However, Betty was so capable that she could let my clients cooperate with the Fang's Group.

Did Betty want to use this method to force me to leave Edward?

"Ashley, is that you? Come and save me."

When I was about to call my classmate in university to ask for advice, I received a phone call from Edward's mother, Letitia.

Since Letitia scolded me last time, she didn't show up in front of me. I knew that she was kicked out of the Xis, and she seemed to go back to her mother's home.

"What's wrong?" Hearing her flustered voice, I asked in confusion.

"I'm... in the warehouse at the back of the Ziming Road. Please save me quickly. I used to be your mother-in-law, please save me... Beep..."

"Letitia?"

Letitia spoke so fast and the phone was hung up before I could hear her words clearly.

I frowned and looked at the phone, and I felt a little uneasy.

What happened to Letitia?

Ziming Road?

I picked up the key on the table and called Paul.

"Miss Mu?" Paul's voice came from the phone.

I was so nervous. After pressing the elevator button, I said to Paul, "Paul, where are you now?"

"I'm in Ling City." Paul's words made me surprised.

Ling City?

The day before yesterday, we found a few people who appeared in the workshop. When they appeared, those models died. So I asked Paul to investigate the people who appeared in the workshop.

"Miss Mu, do you need me to do something for you?" Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Paul's said with a deep voice.

After listening to what Paul said, I thought for a moment and shook my head faintly, "No, nothing. You investigate this matter first. You must find some useful information."

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, I looked at the floor number with a worried face. I couldn't rely on Paul all the time. It seemed that I had to go there on my own. Even if Letitia treated me badly in the past, after all, she was Edward's mother. If something happened to her...
