She had wanted to ask Hailey a question right then and there.
She wanted to ask if the design Hailey had presented was really her own work.
Even at her best, she could only manage a pale imitation of her mentor's genius.
But Hailey's design was almost a perfect mirror of her master's style!
Daphne narrowed her eyes, studying Hailey with a scrutinizing gaze.
Just one look was all it took.
She was absolutely certain.
The jewelry design that so closely resembled her master's style could not possibly have come from this person.
The girl's eyes were clouded with greed and calculation, her gaze practically crawling with hidden motives…
A person like that could only design jewelry that reeked of money, tacky beyond belief.
That design, which was so much like her master's style, was probably… plagiarized!
Daphne let out a cold laugh and was about to speak.
But Marianne cut in again, eager to promote her daughter. "Ms. Rainsford, don't listen to anything Serena might have told you. She's… just an adopted daughter we kicked out of our family!"
"She’s nothing but a scheming brat who spent her life learning underhanded tricks. She lives for stabbing people in the back!"
"She must be jealous that our Hailey can create such a wonderful jewelry design, so she deliberately came to you to stir up trouble."
As she spoke, she shot a nasty glance at the girl sitting in the car—poised, elegant, and with a calm expression. "Ms. Rainsford, I'm only telling you this because I'm worried you'll be deceived by that wretched girl."
An adopted daughter?
Her master was the adopted daughter of this Wynn family she'd never heard of?
But didn't she just hear her master call the matriarch of the Lancaster family "Mom"?
Who knew her master had such a dramatic and complicated backstory?
Daphne couldn't help but steal a few more glances at Serena.
Daphne was practically vibrating with the need to hear the latest scandal.
