Chapter 967

Chapter 967 Berry There’s no way the Jenson family can challenge Richard’s authority with our status. He sucked a deep breath to calm his irritation before walking over to Ashlyn. Flashing her a kind smile, he started, “Ms.

Berry, it was Sadie’s and Shiela’s fault earlier. I hope you don’t take it to heart.”

Sadie, Shiela, and the crowd were stunned. Robert, who looked like a distinguished businessman earlier, actually stooped down and apologized to Ashlyn.

Sadie screamed, “Dad! Why are you apologizing to her?”

She’s just Richard’s godsister! I’m Richard’s sister-in-law!

“Sadie, don’t be obstinate and cause trouble for your brother-in-law.” Robert cast a cutting gaze at Sadie.

Despite the immense displeasure, Sadie didn’t make another peep.

With a raised brow, Ashlyn explained, “Everyone here had passed an interview conducted by Ms. X herself. Only Sadie had pulled some strings to get in. It wasn’t my intention to show up at the opening abruptly like this, but Richard said that I was the most suitable person for this dress.”

With an impassive look and an imposing aura, she continued, “If that’s the case, I’m the only one who can wear this. I’m sorry, everyone.”

Everyone, who was listening to Ashlyn backstage, was baffled.

“Ms. X conducted the interview herself? But they didn’t mention any designer being present then!”

“That’s right. Did anyone see Ms. X? Which one is her exactly?”

“I didn’t know we were interviewed by Ms. X.”

All of the models began to discuss fervently over the news.

Sadie was shocked too. “Ms. X interviewed them herself? Why didn’t I know that? Ah! I actually missed out on a chance to meet Ms. X?” she murmured.

She thought all it needed was one word from Shiela to get her on the runway at a show by The Shaws.

Her feelings were a complex mix of uneasiness and jealousy.

Gone was her mood to argue for the opening show. Instead, all she could think of was how the rest of the nameless models got to meet X, and she didn’t.

Becoming Ms. X’s go-to model had always been her aim.

Yet, regret washed over her at that moment. Finally, she inhaled deeply, steeled herself, and turned to Richard. “Richard, can you introduce me to Ms. X? If Ms. X is willing to meet me… I swear I’ll do my best.”

“You’ve offended Ms. X, yet you expect me to introduce you? That’s impossible.” Despite his apathetic expression, his words were cruel.

The dumb and dumber sisters of the Jenson family don’t have the right to be X’s go-to models.

“W-When have I offended her?”

Sadie nearly fainted from Richard’s accusation.

I only offended Ashlyn! How did I offend Ms. X? What’s their relationship?

Sadie wouldn’t get her answer anytime soon because the anniversary celebration had just begun.

Ashlyn was the opening act. With confident strides, she walked up the runway. She wasn’t a professional model, yet when she got up the T-stage, she looked like she was born to walk the runway with her elegant catwalk and superb control of her expression.

A simple night sky dress perfectly covered her sensual body, making her look beautiful and imposing.

She was the only one on the runway. Yet, she carried herself as though she was leading an army clad in armor.

Suddenly, one of the well-known fashion designers shouted, “Oh my gosh! I think I saw the queen of fashion shows—Berry! She only walked the runway once at Paris Fashion Week!”

Everyone in the local fashion community knew of a model called Berry. That model had only walked one show, but her catwalk sent amazement rippling across the fashion industry.

Her height was only five feet six. She was considered the shortest among the towering models over five feet eight.
