Chapter 22
I stood behind her with my arms folded, listening to her eloquently cursing me for more than ten minutes.
Hanley was startled and her fingers painted with scarlet nail polish just stopped in mid–air. She turned around and was startled by me again.
“You, you are…“}
She twitched her mouth and looked at my thin and delicate cashmere coat, her eyes swept across the diamond earrings on my earlobes and finally fell on my face that was not made up but still clear.
I was a little amused and walked toward her step by step against the light of the corridor.
“You scolded me for so long and now you ask me who I am?”
“Hadley? How could you… How is it possible? How could you be that dead fat pig Hadley!”
I smiled.
“After so many years, Hanley, you are finally willing to tear off the mask. I never thought that I always regarded you as my best friend, but you only wanted to destroy everything of mine. In terms of design, you have never been better than me. It was before, it is now and it will be in the future. Hanley, at tomorrow’s Excellence Award, I will prove to you that crooked ways will never be accepted by the public!“&
I pushed Hanley away, opened the door and walked into the house, pouring myself a glass of red wine.
I had been suppressed under the halo of Hanley for twenty years.
It had only been a few months since I left Bernard and I finally didn’t have to be so inferior in front of Hanley.
I stood in front of the French window, overlooking the tall buildings.
Everything was finally getting back on track. Everything I lost, everything I owed myself, was finally slowly returning to my hands.
“Sister Hadley, something happened! The studio suddenly caught fire and the dresses shortlisted for tomorrow’s Excellence Award were burned!”
As soon as I received Kendall’s call, I drove to the studio immediately.
The smoke rose into the night sky and the panting Kendall held the dress and stuffed it into my arms.
“Run with the sample!“}]
Her face was covered with soot and she couldn’t say a complete sentence.N
“I don’t know who is jealous of us and deliberately set the fire. Now they are pouring gasoline at the back door. No matter how we try to stop them, we can’t stop them!“}
Hanley.
This name flashed through my mind.
I thought she was driven to desperation by my provocation and she was desperate.
But now was not the time to worry about these things.§
The dress for tomorrow’s award couldn’t be damaged at all.”
After the Excellence Award was over, I would have plenty of time to settle accounts with her!]
I picked up the dress and ran out regardless of anything. The thick smoke filled my nasal cavity and my lungs felt burning.
While running, I was suddenly tripped by an obstacle and fell to the ground. My eyes went black and I lost consciousness completely. When I fainted, I was still holding the dress tightly.
That was my dream that had been delayed for 20 years. This time, I would never let it go easily.
Consciousness fell into the quagmire.}
I had a very long dream.
From the time I first met Bernard at the age of 20, it flashed through my mind frame by frame like a revolving lantern.§
Recalling the period when we were in love, I seemed to see Bernard in a daze.
