As they left. Bianca felt a gaze on her, one that seemed to come from the depths of hell, making her feel deeply uncomfortable.
She scanned the area but found no one suspicious.
“He’s asking for it. One day, I’ll make him regret crossing us and get back at him for this!” Evan cursed through gritted teeth once they got into the car.
“Evan, although I really liked that dress, and it’s sad it’s gone, as long as you’re safe, I don’t really care about the rest,” Bianca said, which deeply touched Evan
“That’s just how my Bianca is–always putting my safety first, no matter the situation. Evan thought to himself.
“But Evan, I find Mr. Simon really weird. He’s a businessman. The dress was already sold to us, but he went back to his word. not only losing the money but also having to pay us a huge compensation. Plus, he’d lose business with both the Vaughn and Montgomery families. No sane person would do that, right?” Bianca analyzed.
“You mean someone’s backing him, so he messed with us on purpose?” Evan frowned.
Bianca nodded. “If not, why would he offend the Vaughn and Montgomery families? Isn’t that basically opening the door to his own doom?”
“Who could have made him go against us like this?”
Bianca shook her head, replying. Think about who we’ve recently offended. It seems it’s only our sister who’s been unhappy with us lately, but I doubt she’s capable of all this….
“It must be her! She’s using her position as Finn’s fiancée to suppress us! Seems like this younger sister of mine is really becoming quite the schemer! Evan’s eyes flared with intense anger.
Bianca lowered her eyes, lost in thought. ‘Could it be Juliette? She wasn’t sure. ‘But it could only be her. She’s been gunning for me lately. Well, I’ll make sure she loses all favor with the Vaughan family!
The shop fell completely silent.
Juliette came downstairs and stood in front of Grayson.
“The design draft I gave you is called ‘Hell Girl‘ Soon, everyone will know you have a brand–new design draft in your hands something many top socialites are dying to get. So, no one will dare mess with you,” she said.
A talented designer like him was highly sought after by the elites. His well–being was crucial for only then could these women keep rocking fab outfits.
Grayson looked at her, murmuring softly, “Hell Girl–just like the Phoenix, reborn in flame.”
Juliette gave a soft smile. “Oh, right, these bodyguards will stick with you for a while to keep you safe.”
With that, she turned and walked away.

Chapter 19
Grayson watched her back, sensing she’d changed. ‘Hell Girl was clearly tailored just for herself. What’s going on with you, Juliette? he asked silently.
Once in her car, Juliette opened the group chat and mentioned everyone: [Grayson’s got a fresh design draft in his hands. Pretty hot stuff.]
Her nickname in the group was Francis Kim.
A long while back, she’d whipped up a perfume, and since the Harrison family pretty much owned the nation’s perfume market, she anonymously sent her stealthily crafted fragrance to their perfume HQ.
Beau contacted her personally. Later, she became the top–secret perfumer of the Harrison family.
The group chat “We’re All Human” consisted entirely of industry elites, organized by Beau.
The fragrance she concocted had been flying off shelves, making her nickname “Francis Kim” a household name in the perfume world.
When she sent the sentence, many responded quickly, especially Beau: [If you give it a nod, that design must be something else! I’m pinging Grayson right now!]
Among the four grand clans of Hawthorn, the Clarkes ranked first, the Harrisons second, the Hayes third and the Montgomerys came last.
Now, the Vaughns wanted a piece of the Montgomerys‘ haul to make themselves the fifth heavyweight.
Seeing Beau’s reply, Juliette grinned.
With the Harrison family watching her back, either Evan or Finn would have to think twice before acting against her to avenge Bianca.
Suddenly, Juliette’s phone beeped. As she saw the caller ID, her smile froze.
It was Finn.
At last night’s feast, gifting his shit and tipping out after a quick check–in, he claimed emergencies and left.
So, this was her first time “facing” Finn after her time travel.
Finally, before the lines dropped dead, Juliette picked up.
“Juliette, Bianca says you’re onboard for the auction tonight; lemne pick you up, okay?” His warm, calm voice carried so much respect for her.
“Why’d you call Bianca when asking me out? You sure I wouldn’t get jealous?” Juliette spoke with a cheerful tone, yet a chilling edge slipped beneath her words.
Is he gentle and respectful to me? Nope. It is a complete disdain for me, a thorough calculation of the resources behind me, she said inwardly.
After a short silence, Finn chuckled softly, patronizing, like humoring a bratty girl.
“I figured it was too early and you might be sleeping in when I missed you, so I called Bianca first. She told me you’re up the auction, so 1 got a head start in preparations to pick you up. be explained.

What a sweet explanation. And his voice was so soothing. But it only made Juliette wanna hurl.
“You will be seeing me soon again. Excited?” Finn asked.
Deep down, Juliette felt genuinely excited at the thought of Finnnot being able to fulfill Bianca’s wish for sandalwood. “Indeed, I’m quite excited.”
I’ll come get you,” Finn said..
“Daphne and I made plans early. I’m already on my way to the auction. We’ll meet there,” Juliette said.
“Yeah?” Finn sounded slightly surprised.
Then, he added helplessly, “Got caught in OT. I thought to wrap early to get you ‘cause you don’t hit the scene much. Guess I came too late, missed a good chance.”
Juliette gave no instant reply, thinking. That sounded really sweet. I wonder if he was ever deceived by his own rhetoric. Otherwise, how.could I have been deceived into meeting a horrible death in my past life?”
“Mr. Montgomery, see you tonight,” Juliette said, her tone diplomatic.
She’d used to coo his name in fondness. But this shift in address didn’t faze Finn–he just thought it was her sudden touch of flirt.
“Sure, see you tonight, my lady”
