When Mrs. Shaw appeared in the office, her chest was visibly heaving, indicating she was quite agitated. It was clear to anyone that she cared deeply for her daughter, Bethany. The concern she showed was akin to that of protecting a precious gem.

Seeing that she has someone to back her up, Bethany pouted and looked like she wanted to cry, “Mom, I just wanted to help her with her business after her recent divorce, and she and her friend actually called me a dog!”

Mrs. Shaw furrowed her brows and glared at me with anger. “Charlotte, don’t be so ungrateful! Apologize to my daughter!”

“Like mother, like daughter.”

Jane couldn’t stand it anymore. “What do you mean by ungrateful? Who’s begging your daughter to take care of our business? I already said we wouldn’t take her order, but she insisted on making a scene!”

“Who do you think you are? Do you think you’re worthy of talking to me?”

Mrs. Shaw disdainfully dismissed Jane’s words and turned her threatening gaze back to me, “Charlotte, I’ve already let her off once today because you. If she can’t control her mouth today, I’ll make sure she disappears from Jelaston.”

Jane, who was more responsive to soft tactics, got even angrier. “You have the nerve…”

“Jane!” I suddenly intervened and spoke reluctantly, “Stop it. Go back to the office and wait for me!”

I wasn’t afraid for myself, but I was worried about Jane getting dragged into this. The mother and daughter weren’t particularly skilled, but they were ruthless, and their words made me reluctant to gamble with Jane’s safety.

Jane was unwilling. “I’ll stay here with you…”

“Go inside and wait for me!”

Bethany was clearly looking for trouble, and with Mrs. Shaw here, both mother and daughter liked to bully others. If Jane stayed, she wouldn’t tolerate a few harsh words and would end up losing her temper.

I forced her into the office, but she still refused to stay. “Charlotte, they’ll bully you!”

“They’re just taking advantage using words. Nothing will happen to me.”

Before our brand gained a good reputation, we have to beg customers. In the future, there might be even more difficult clients. If I wasn’t prepared for that mentally, I wouldn’t be doing custom designs.

Thad considered this a practice run.

I smiled and reassured her, “You stay inside and watch If they try to get physical with me, come out, and I won’t stop you.”

“Then you…” Jane reluctantly nodded, worriedly instructing, “Just stay away from them, in case they get violent and I can’t stop them in time!”

“Alright.”

I agreed without hesitation. Taking a deep breath, I helped her close the office door.

Returning to my seat, I looked at Bethany, “Miss Shaw, can you now tell me your needs and preferences?”

“You need to apologize to Bethany first!” Mrs. Shaw demanded sternly, belittling me. “She specifically asked you to design her dress out of kindness and generosity. But you clearly didn’t know your place, thinking you’re still Mrs. Frost?”

“Mrs. Shaw,” I smiled. “Actually, I don’t need Miss Shaw to take care of my business out of kindness. How about you two leave?”

“You’re really pushing it!” Mrs. Shaw abruptly stood up, pulling Bethany’s arm, “Bethany, let’s go! Someone like her can’t design anything good. I’ll contact top international designers for you…”

I couldn’t have asked for more.

However, Bethany looked a bit surprised. She struggled a little and said hesitantly, “Mom, I just wanted her to do the designing. That way, Ryan will see how much I care about his ex–wife and will treat me better…”
