“There’s no need. Our design styles are different. I don’t see the point of our exchange, Yvonne rejected Tracy coldly.
Tracy had already broken up with her brother. What was the point of communicating with her?
Yvonne would be upset every time she saw this woman.
“Yvonne, I recently designed two works. Although they are modern accessories, they contain ancient elements. You can take a look. Perhaps you will be inspired.” Tracy tried to get closer to Yvonne.
If she could get Yvonne on board, she was more likely to succeed in sowing discord between Vanessa and William.
William and Vanessa were husband and wife now. If they had conflicts often, William would not be able to focus on his work.
If Barron took this opportunity and worked hard, he had a better chance of winning.
In the past few years, Tracy had often spent money on buying designs from other people.
The last time she went overseas for a competition, she also bought a design draft, which made her win the prize and received 800,000 dollars as a reward.
She didn’t care about this bit of money, but she enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention on the red carpet.
“I told you, I’m not interested!” Yvonne rolled her eyes and turned around, not wanting to waste her time talking to Tracy.
It was almost her turn to compete, or she would have left.
It was true that she was not gifted in design and the things she designed never sold well. But even if she wanted to learn from someone, it couldn’t be Tracy.
Moreover, she had been learning from Ms, Lara Walker for the past six months. There was no need for her to communicate with Tracy.
“Yvonne, Tracy is doing this out of kindness,” Barron said.
Yvonne had an explosive temper. She turned around and said, “It’s all my fault, okay? Why are you buzzing around me like a fly every day? How annoying!”
Tracy’s face darkened when she heard Yvonne compare her to a fly.
Barron’s face also darkened. He was about to lecture Yvonne, but Tracy stopped him. “Forget it. Yvonne is still young.”
Yvonne rolled her eyes again. She hated such words the most. Tracy made it look as if she had done something wrong, but she wouldn’t have lost her temper if this woman didn’t pester her.
Yvonne wasn’t bothered to argue with Tracy, so she walked away and took out her phone..
When she was about to surf the net, she saw a WhatsApp message pop up on the screen.
She clicked on it.
Then she saw two designs Tracy had just sent her.
Yvonne’s eyes lit up instantly.
Tracy improved a lot!
These two designs definitely surpassed all her previous works.
The design of the brooch with a stream–of–consciousness concept was so ingenious, elegant, and artistic.
And it had a wonderful name “Chasing Light“.
It was full of hope.
She almost changed her mind and walked over to talk to Tracy.
But at the thought that Tracy was now with her cousin Barron, she dropped the idea. She rolled her eyes and put her phone
away.
Yvonne looked around and saw her brother and Vanessa waiting at the entrance of a conference hall in the distance.
“So annoying.” she muttered.
Vanessa was also a jewelry designer.
I would be embarrassing if she lost to Tracy in the competition.
If Yvonne lost the competition, no one would dare to criticize her.
But if Vanessa lost to Tracy, she would definitely be condemned. This made Yvonne feel very upset.

Yvonne, it’s
my turn. I’m going in. Tracy said to Yvonne before she walked into the conference hall.
Yvonne shot her a cold glare and thought, “Come on, just go in. What’s there to be smug about?”
At the entrance of the exhibition and conference center. Sarah said to Jackson, Jackson, you’re free today, right? It’s been a long time since you last shopped with me. Come with me.”
“Mom, you guys go ahead. Pay with my credit card. I’ll go on a business trip later,” Jackson said as he took out his credit card and handed it to his mother.
He knew what Sarah was thinking, but he could not let her have her way.
Even if she was unhappy with this, he would not give up the only thing he insisted on for so many years.
He had been working hard in the past few years because of it.
“Aren’t you going on a business trip in a few days?” Sarah was a little unhappy.
“Things have changed. The Yost Group also wants to cooperate with the villagers there. They’re doing a great job with their live show on helping farmers. We don’t have any advantages, so we can only take the initiative to create opportunities for ourselves, Jackson said.
In fact, he had told the chef of the Milestone Village that he would be there the day after tomorrow, but as his mother was trying every means to make him stay with Elena, he wanted to leave as soon as possible.
“I see. Then go ahead. Jackson, take good care of yourself. You know, I don’t ask for much. I just hope that our family can be safe and sound. Perhaps it’s because I’m old and afraid of being lonely, I always think of your brother. If your brother was still around, our family wouldn’t be so deserted…”
Jackson felt terrible when he heard that. He immediately interrupted his mother, “Mom, after the business of the branch is on track, I will make time to accompany you.
By the time the Foster Group’s market value reached 160 billion dollars, he would fulfill his grandfather’s wish and officially take over the company. Then he would be able to make time.
“Okay. Go ahead with your business.” Sarah wiped away the tears in her eyes as she spoke.
Jackson walked up to the parking lot and asked the driver Elmer to go with him.
Elmer asked politely, “Mr. Foster, are we going back to the office?”
Jackson stroked his forehead, feeling a little tired. “Drive me home first.”
He wanted to go to the Milestone Village today, so he needed to go home to pack his luggage.
The pace of life in villages was slow, so he could take the opportunity to relax.
He had suffered more in the past two months than he had in the past three years.
Vanessa had gone on a blind date with another man and gotten married. Henry, who doted on him, had passed away.
As for him, before the company’s market reached sixteen million dollars, he did not dare to make any decisions at will.
In order to remind himself from time to time, he placed his brother and his girlfriend’s photos in his wallet. Every time he wanted to destroy himself and the world, he would open his wallet to take a look at their photos.
The two people died in their prime, one from homicide and the other from suicide.
While Elmer was driving, Jackson leaned against the backseat to rest.
The moment he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with Vanessa’s cold gaze when she looked at him.
However, she had a smile on her face when she was with another man.
When Jackson got home, he packed his luggage himself.
Realizing that one of his suits was missing, he asked the maid, “Freya, where’s Judy?”
Judy was a female servant who was already 40, older than most of the servants here. She was usually the one who took the Foster family’s clothes to the laundry.
A strange look flashed across Freya’s eyes. She held the rag tightly and whispered, “Judy went back home.”
“She’s on leave? Then call her and ask her if she hasn’t got back the suit I wore a few days ago. Where’s the receipt? I’ll ask Elmer to get it back, Jackson said.
Freya frowned and said hesitantly, “Judy… was fired.”
“Fired? When did this happen? Who fired her?” Jackson could tell it must be Elena who did it.
Judy had been treating Freya well. Thinking of this, Freya gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, “Yesterday, she ruined a nightgown of Mrs. Foster and was sent back to her hometown. Judy has a hard time. After she paid for the nightgown as compensation, she didn’t have enough money to pay for her son’s surgery fees.”
Chapter 81
Freya felt terrible when she thought of how Sarah had used such a trifle to make a fuss.
Now that Jackson was Sarah’s biological son, he would definitely be on her side. Freya knew it well, but she just could not keep it to herself anymore.
Actually, that silk nightgown was not broken. It was wrinkled after it was washed, but it would become soft and smooth again after it was hung on the drying rack for a while.
Sarah must have been unhappy with Judy and deliberately found an excuse to fire her.
The compensation that Sarah asked for was even higher than the price of the nightgown itself. This was too much!
“How much did my mother ask her to pay?” Jackson asked.
