Chapter 1006
After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and let it out slowly, a smirk of both mockery and relief appearing
on his face.
“Remember you once said you wanted to be the center of attention, the most beautiful woman. For you, I studied
styling, and accompanied you to competitions. I was the one who molded you into the campus belle bit by bit, yet
you, you said that Jacob was the one who has always been there to support you, right?
“Now that you’re so famous and with so many people waiting to see you make a fool of yourself, you think being
with me will make you a laughing stock, is that it?”
Beverly looked troubled, biting her lip and finally said, “…I’m sorry.”
Miles couldn’t help but chuckle sarcastically, “Alright, I get it.”
He took a deep breath, his voice filled with scorn.
“I finally solved the question that has been bothering me for a long time, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
But I still want to thank you. Because of you, I chose to become a stylist, which gave my life a direction. I don’t think
I owe you anything, so I won’t begrudge a thank you. As for the future…
Miles‘ eyes suddenly became firm and indifferent, causing a chill to run down Beverly’s spine, and she involuntarily
took a step back. Amidst her confusion, she heard Miles‘ icy voice say, “So, from now on, there’s nothing between
us! You’re right, you and I, whether now or in the future, will never be of the same kind.“”
Beverly looked slightly relieved, “If you can see it that way, all the better.”

The dressing room door was half open. Katie bit her lip hard, glaring at Beverly and Miles, her face filled with anger.
“How could Beverly be so ungrateful? Miles was so good to her, how could she say such things? It’s outrageous!”
Chloe pulled her gaze away from the outside and began to fix her dress. Unlike Katie’s anger, a faint smile
appeared on her face.
“There are always a few people who are too much, that make you feel the urge to step on them.”
Katie clenched her fists, her gaze fixed on Miles standing sideways, her heart filled with anger and heartache. She
heard Chloe’s words, but didn’t take them in.
Not two minutes later, a man in a white floral suit pushed the door open. Luisa saw the man appearing at the door,
her face instantly lit up with a smile. She was about to greet the man, but the man was immediately surrounded by
a few people.
“Are
you
Jacob?!”
“I’m the assistant designer here, I’m a big fan of yours!”
“I’m Casey, the stylist here, Mr. Jacob, it’s an honor to meet you. I also participated in the last International Beauty
Expo and was lucky to get fifth place, but you’re still the champion, I admire you so much.”
As soon as Jacob appeared, the store’s designers, stylists, and assistants, even the customers, all flocked to him.
Jacob wore a polite and humble smile, but the treatment of being surrounded and admired inevitably revealed a
hint of arrogance on his face.
“Mr. Jacob, the looks you’ve designed for Beverly at Fashion Week over the past two years have been eye–catching
and have garnered attention from the international fashion community. Many renowned international designers
want to collaborate with you!”
“I think at the upcoming Paris Fall/Winter Fashion Week, your design will definitely make Beverly the most dazzling
presence.”
“Although I really want to win this year’s International Beauty Expo, since I heard you’re also participating, I’m
afraid my hopes will be dashed.”
Jacob laughed gently, “You’re too kind, I just do my best, you should also keep it up.”
The stylist in the store nodded eagerly, “I hope I have the chance to learn from you someday.”
Jacob glanced around and his gaze finally landed on Beverly.
Seeing this, everyone tactfully backed away. Under Jacob’s gaze, Beverly blushed slightly. Luisa patted her hand
with satisfaction, smiling as she watched Jacob slowly approach. Then she glanced at Miles standing next to her,
shaking her head.
“See, Miles, this is the difference between you and Jacob. Beverly is a star admired by all, and Jacob is a respected
and celebrated international stylist. They are the perfect match. And you…”
A look of unabated contempt crossed her face.
“Luisa, Beverly…” Jacob had stepped forward by now and greeted Luisa and Beverly with a smile. Finally, he looked
up, as if he had just noticed Miles, his face lighting up with surprise.

Miles looked at him coldly, not saying a word.
Jacob raised an eyebrow, pulling Beverly into his arms, brushing her hair back from her forehead.
“Or are you here for our wedding? Miles, you’re thoughtful.”
Miles looked at him expressionlessly, “Congratulations.”
Jacob raised an eyebrow, laughing dismissively. He whispered to Beverly, “Have you chosen your wedding dress
yet?”
Beverly shook her head, and the store clerk immediately chimed in, “The wedding dress section is not here, please
follow me.” Miles watched as the couple left arm in arm, his face expressionless, as he headed for the second floor.
Luisa scoffed coldly at his side, before following the others out
Miles shut his eyes tight, just as Casey, who had been non–stop singing praises about Jacob’s style, suddenly
appeared. He glanced over at Jácob’s direction, then turned to Miles and asked:
“You a stylist too?”
Miles slowly opened his eyes, gave him a cold lock, then replied, “Yeah.”
“Do you know Mr. Jacob?”
“Nope.”
Casey frowned, sizing Miles up and down, his eyes filled with disdain.
“Figures. You’re a nobody, how would you possibly know the famous Mr. Jacob?”
After spitting out these words, he was about to chase after Jacob and his crew, when the shop door swung open.
Nate was the first one to shove the door open. He held it open, standing respectfully off to the side. Then, a tall and
sturdy figure walked in, his strides steady and assured.
