Chapter 535
Blood was flowing down Maxwell’s shoulder, quickly staining his clothes red. He gritted his teeth and
glared at Xavier. “Okay, you just wait! You refuse to pay the opening fee, I’ll make sure you’ll open
without doing any business!”
Zachary sneered, “Who are you trying to scare?”
He waved the kitchen knife in his hand, causing Maxwell and his gang to involuntarily step back. They
angrily threatened a few more times before finally running away.
Zachary cursed, “Thought they were tough, turns out they’re just a bunch of scaredy-cats!”
Damian laughed, “No matter how tough they are, they’ll still be scared to death when they meet our
boss!”
Xavier put the fallen chair back in place and smiled, “Alright, wipe up the blood on the floor and clean
up. It’s time to eat!”

around these days, and he has been here for years, bullying the merchants around, especially the
newcomers. If they don’t give him money, they’ll be constantly harassed…”
Zachary sat down in his chair, “Isn’t anyone going to intervene?”
Damian replied, “I heard he has connections with the officials!”
Xavier lit a cigarette, “I don’t care about others, if he wants to bully me, let’s see if he has the guts!”
Damian said worriedly. Tm not afraid of anything else, but I’m afraid they’ll come to cause trouble on
our opening day. We don’t have any background here and we’re not familiar with this place. If they
come to make trouble, I’m afraid no customers will dare
to come!”
Zachary snorted, “Beat them up one by one!”
Xavier remained calm, “No need to worry about that, if that’s the case, we might as well not open the
store! Haven’t we encountered enough trouble over the years? Let’s just open the store first!”
Damian nodded, “Yeah, I’ll ask around more in the next few days, so we can be prepared and know
what to look out for.”
“Okay!” Xavier patted Damian’s shoulder, “just be careful!*

Hannah gave everyone a week to design six sets of clothes, so Miya and the others put their other
work on hold and focused on designing dresses
Miya saw Alice as her biggest competitor, while Jessica and Carmella were secretly competing too.
No one paid attention to Inman and Estelle, probably because they had already determined that neither
of them would be chosen. In the late afternoon on Wednesday, Estelle received a call from Amiee
when she got off work. Amiee said, “Estelle, I have some problems with the software that I need you to
help me with. Where are you? I’ll come to find you!”
Estelle had just left the office building. “I’ll come to find you, are you at the dessert store?”
Amiee replied, “No, I didn’t go to work in the afternoon, I’m at home.”

Estelle asked, “Can I come over to your place?”
“Sure, I’ll send you the address!”
Estelle hung up the phone and she soon received a message from Amiee with her address.
Amiee’s place was not too far from the studio, so Estelle took a cab there.
Fifteen minutes later, Estelle arrived at Amiee’s building. As she was escorted by the security at the
front desk, Amiee had called ahead, so the staff took Estelle into the elevator and pressed the button
for her floor.
Amiee lived on the 29th floor. As Estelle approached the door, the door suddenly opened before she
could ring the bell. Amiee was standing behind the door, laughing, “I knew you were coming up!”
“Do all you programmers calculate the time so accurately?”
Estelle smiled and handed the fruit she bought to Amiee.
Amiee took it and gave Estelle a pair of new slippers, “You don’t have to buy fruit, I usually don’t eat it
