Chapter 144

An Upset Xenia

The man snorted icily. “Stop putting up an act. I’ve heard everything clearly! You are obviously after my
money. I will withdraw the investment I gave Steele Group!”

Miranda panicked when she heard he wanted to withdraw his capital.

Losing both the rich son-in-law and his funds would be catastrophic for their family.

She immediately went after him. “Please forgive Emilia. I promise she won’t complain again no matter
what you want her to do.”

The man ignored her, and his bodyguards came forward to stop Emilia and Miranda from getting any
closer to him.

Emilia’s hurried pace caused her high heels to catch on the hem of her dress, and the fabric tore with a
loud rip. A sizable gap opened up behind her, leaving her feeling exposed and embarrassed.

She climbed to her feet and staggered to the door.

She couldn’t afford to let him leave. It was hard for her to find a rich and foolish man like him. She really
thought he was the one who could provide for her.

No matter how hard she yelled, the man refused to look back. He hopped onto his vehicle which was
worth tens of millions and drove away,

Emilia halted in her tracks to discover that her body felt chilly. Looking down, she was shocked to see
that the gap in her dress had widened as she ran out, and her body was almost naked.



At the entrance, people were staring at her lecherously. Emilia let out a horrified scream and fled back
into the hotel.

Her reputation and image as a graceful socialite were instantly ruined.

Back in the dressing room, Emilia flung her arms around Miranda and wailed, “Mom, it was all
Christina’s fault! She has destroyed my wedding! My husband ran away, and Dad yelled at me!
Christina wanted me to suffer! Look at my dress. She must’ve done it on purpose to humiliate me!”

Emilia’s loud wails filled the air and her resentment was palpable.

Miranda was boiling with anger. She was convinced that Christina had plotted everything against her
daughter so that she wouldn’t get to marry a wealthy husband.

“Don’t cry, Emilia. It wasn’t your fault. You’re still young and pretty, so I’m sure you’ll find more
opportunities to get to know more men in the future she comforted Emilia.

Emilia bobbed her head and threw herself into Miranda’s arms to seek comfort. “Mom, you must take
revenge on my behalf. I hate her!”

Miranda patted her head in a comforting manner and vowed, “I won’t let Christina off the hook!”

Christina thought Emilia would show up to seek revenge the next day, but to her surprise, she stayed

under the radar.

The scandal that happened last night was kept under the lid. It was most probably Emilia’s fiancé who

did it as he didn’t want his reputation to take a tow.



The incident had been so humiliating that Emilia should have been hiding at home, away from the nosy
crowd.

Christina didn’t pay any attention to that as she was entirely focused on her work. Anna and Xenia
were capable enough to handle most of the day-to-day tasks efficiently.

Once she finished the design draft, she would need assistance with the intricate details of the
production process.

The three of them were tied down with work. During their lunch break at noon, Xenia took a break to
make some coffee in the pantry.

A few colleagues were gathered in the pantry, chatting with each other. When they noticed Xenia, they
approached her and praised her, “You’re so fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from Ms. Steele.”

“I’ve actually seen a few final products. You’re more talented than Ms. Steele in sewing!”

“Ms. Steele’s designs are just ordinary. It’s Xenia who is talented enough to create final products that
are prettier than the ones she designed!”

Xenia felt pleased upon hearing their praises, especially since even Gina had complimented her
handiwork recently.

Lately, Xenia noticed that her colleagues were subtly trying to flatter her. Whenever she wanted a cup
of coffee, someone would always offer to make it for her and bring it to her.

“Thanks. I need to get back to work.” Xenia held her coffee-smugly and left the pantry.

Back in the tailor room, Christina and Anna were discussing the details of the design.



Xenia discovered that Christina would discuss work-related matters with Anna, which made her
suspect that Christina had deliberately chosen to do so.

Christina happened to look up and saw her walking into the room. “Xenia, have you completed the
embroidery work I assigned to you?”

“There’s a lot, so I can’t finish everything on my own” Xenia huffed.

I always get assigned the most demanding tasks like embroidery, while Anna only gets to sew simple
stuff. I keep pricking my fingers until they bleed, and the most upsetting thing is that Christina never
seems to care about me. She only cares about whether the fabric has been stained with my blood.
Christina might be young, but I think she’s quite snobbish. No wonder she became the group leader at
a young age as she’s good at trimming her sails to the wind. She displays her abilities at work and
leaves the complicated stuff to unknown assistants like us.

Seeing the displeased expression that crossed her face, Christina replied calmly, “I know embroidery
can be demanding work. You’ll be responsible for the curve of the pannier while I handle the rest.”

“Sure.” Despite feeling aggrieved, Xenia had no choice but to give in.

The three of them remained in the tailor room for the entire afternoon. When they finally looked up, they
felt sore all over.

Christina glanced at the clock and realized they had been working over for over an hour. She told

them, “You can get off work now.”

“Oh, finally it’s time to get off work. I’ve been sitting the entire day!” Xenia grumble. She packed up
swiftly and left without looking back.



Anna stretched lazily as her gaze landed on Christina’s unfinished embroidery. “Do you need me to
stay back and help you?”

“It’s all right. I can do it myself,” came Christina’s answer.

Embroidery was a complex task, particularly when there were multiple colors involved. It required
complete concentration to complete the job to a high standard.

Anna wasn’t in a hurry to leave. Instead, she came closer to Christina with a smile as though she
needed a favor. “Working hours are over, so can I ask you for some tips?”

A smile nudged Christina’s lips. “Go ahead. What is it?”

Anna’s face lit up at her answer. “Please take a look at my design and let me know what you think,
Christina,” she said, handing over the design.

Christina’s guess was right, for Anna wanted her opinion regarding design drawing.

Anna sought Christina’s opinion on her design when they were in the same industry, which showed that
she valued Christina’s expertise.

Christina took her design and scrutinized it carefully. A while later, she provided her opinion.

Anna nodded eagerly. “You’re so d*mn right. I can’t believe you pointed out the problems I didn’t
realize!”

Christina chuckled aloud. “Are you already preparing your design for the next internal competition,
which is over a month away?”

“I might get a promotion if I perform well this time. Thank you so much, Christina!” Anna gave her an
excited hug and planted a kiss on her cheek.



Anna felt honored to work with Christina. She was her second mentor in the industry and someone who
had influenced her a lot. She believed there was still so much to learn from Christina.
