NovelEnglishMonday Morning.
Reese clocked in at the company and informed Cole that she would be on field duty all day.
A week ago, she took the design drafts of Rose and Anika to the custom jewelry factory.
Even now, she was diligently overseeing the custom jewelry for these two.
She didn't want to bring her personal emotions into her work.
In the morning, she went to check on the progress of the custom jewelry for Rose and Anika.
In the afternoon, she met Mariel at a café. Mariel wanted to discuss custom jewelry requirements with her.
After reviewing the custom jewelry designs, Reese had stto spare. She went to the production team of
"Beautiful Women's Helper" and signed contracts for two episodes of the show.
After having lunch, she proceeded to the location Mariel had mentioned.
Upon arrival, Mariel had just reached there herself.

To Reese's surprise, after just a few words with Mariel, she handed her the latest version of the design draft, and
Mariel sat there stiffly, unresponsive.
Reese frowned, "Miss Chase, are you okay?"
Mariel suddenly stood up and rushed toward the café's cashier with a steaming cup of coffee in hand.
Reese hadn't processed the situation yet; when she turned her head, she saw her splashing the scalding coffee
at a woman. The action was fierce and aggressive.
The woman let out a scream and hid behind a man next to her.
The man's face turned ashen.
Reese quickly stood up and upon a closer look, realized that the woman was none other than Rose's close friend,
Anika Styles.
The man beside her wasn't a stranger either; he was Mariel's fiancé-to-be, Walter Simmons.
Anika cried out as the coffee hit her, "Walter, it's so hot! My arm has blistered, will it scar? You know, | can't
afford to have scars, | rely on my looks to make a living!" She had tried to shield her face with her arm, unsure if
her face had been hurt. Mariel angry voice rang out, "Looks like you make a living by seducing men with your
face!"
Walter was furious, and the people around them were watching and pointing fingers, as if they were calling him a
scumbag, a cheat, and insulting Anika as a hwrecker and a woman of low morals.
He growled angrily, "Mariel Chase, that's enough! You've lost all sense of shame, but | still have sdignity
left!"
Mariel's eyes turned red with anger. She retorted with a bitter smile, "You have dignity? | thought your skin was
thicker than city walls! What right do you have to speak? This woman is cheap, but you're even cheaper, Walter
Simmons! This is the 'work' you toldabout?! Accompanying a woman to buy coffee? Your job seems pretty
easy, man!"
Walter was boiling with rage, but he understood that given the momentum of the Chase and Simmon's families"
alliance, this was a prestigious match.
However, a man's pride was worth more than anything. Mariel was humiliating him in front of everyone, and he
could hardly bear it any longer. "That's enough! You're nothing but a shrew!"

Mariel's eyes were fierce. She had uncovered Walter's betrayal and was being insulted as a shrew. How could she
endure it?
She grabbed the coffee cup in her hand and threw it at him.
Anika screamed again, and Walter immediately turned and shielded her with his back, protecting her from the
coffee.
Mariel's eyes turned even redder; she had never seen Walter treat her like this before.
Her hands trembled with anger. "Walter, you're keeping a mistress and still want to marry me? Do you think I'm a
fool? | may not have a taste for self-deception, but mark my words, if | don't deal with you today, my surnis
not Chase!"
Mariel raised her hand, ready to strike Walter.
Walter was furious; he grabbed her hand and threw her to the ground.
Someone had already started recording a video. Anika saw it and immediately covered her face, crying to Walter,
"Walter, you know | can't be seen in public like this! It'll ruin me! You know | can't afford that, especially being
labeled as a mistress! This will be a fatal blow to my career."
She was regretting her actions deeply; being caught on video and being labeled as a mistress would be a
devastating blow to her career.
