Chapter 379
Everybody’s jaw dropped.
Zoe and Bethany were not the only ones shocked. As Vincent’s friend and Alexa’s die-hard
fan, Ada had no idea.
Ada could not believe that Bella’s jewelry set was Alexa’s
masterpiece. She had heard about the “Rose of Desire” but had never
seen it.
For once, Ada envied the rich.
Bella sneaked Vincent a grateful look.
She knew she did not have to explain herself because Vincent would
sort out those troublemakers at his show.
There was no need to waste time on unimportant people.
Justin’s eyes never strayed away from Bella. He was fuming.
He was certain that Bella knew the man, and they were close.
“Who is that old man?” Justin asked in a chilling voice.
“Vincent Anderson is the CEO of AX. His grandfather was the last
Duke of Inalia, and his grandmother was the founder of AX. His

family owns the brand, so that’s why he’s the CEO.
lan added with a wink, “Vincent inherited the dukedom, and the royal
family bestowed him with a huge estate. That’s not the only thing. He
is one of the top five richest men in Inalia. His net worth is tens of
billions of dollars. The young madam is awesome. I can’t believe she
has royal friends!”
Justin breathed heavily and swallowed hard. He clutched his fingers.
resentfully.
“Wow, Mr. Anderson just stood up for the young madam. Don’t tell
me he fancies her!”
Hit by a realization, lan exclaimed, “If Mr. Anderson is interested in the young madam, she
will have hope of becoming a duchess. She’s a wealthy heiress. If she marries royalty…
OMG! The young madam. will be living the life of every woman’s dreams!”
“That’s never going to happen. Vincent is old enough to be her father.. She won’t fancy
him,” Justin responded solemnly.
A fan of gossip, lan could not stop yapping. “Well, you can’t say for certain. The young
madam might prefer mature men. Otherwise she wouldn’t have fallen for you. You’re six
years older than her.”
Justin shot lan a menacing look.
Six years and twenty-odd years were a huge difference.
Breaking out in a cold sweat, lan pinched his lips together and made.
a gesture to zip them. He looked comical and pitiful.
His banter got to Justin’s head.
Justin no longer resented her for lying to him again and again.
He started to whine about the outstanding men around her. He was
pushed to the back of the line.
“OMG! The CEO of an international luxury jewelry brand just publicly
admitted using Alexa’s pieces as a reference. This is an
embarrassment to his company.”
“I don’t think so. I think Mr. Anderson is forthright. Besides, he wasn’t using Alexa’s work
for reference. He said he drew inspiration from
Alexa’s creation.”
“We did take elements from Alexa’s designs.”
Amid the press’ chatter, Vincent admitted, “Ms. Alexa is well aware of
1. We talked in private, and Ms. Alexa permitted us to apply the elements in the
Everlasting Flower collection. She has also. participated in the design.”

Everybody gasped in awe.
Zoe’s smug face stiffened,
“So I’m glad Ms. Thompson wore Alexa’s pieces to attend AX’s event.” Vincent glanced at
Bella before looking away.
“There’s one more thing you aren’t aware of, Ms. Hoffman.” Bella chuckled and continued,
“AX and Alexa have been close partners for many years. There is one rule the VIP
members of AX Jewelry know
1.
“They are free to wear Alexa’s jewelry pieces to AX’s events and will be seated in the VVIP
section. If that isn’t enough, AX offers free
lifetime maintenance and care for customers who own Alexa’s
jewelry pieces. You’re a fan of AX jewelry. How come you didn’t
know?”
Zoe turned pale. She was speechless.
Although she owned many of AX’s jewelry pieces, the membership
threshold was set too high. Not only did it require a significant
amount of spending history, but there was a strict assessment of the
either member’s wealth and background. Zoe did not pass
requirement despite being Ryan’s sister.
Hence, she did not know about the rule.
