Chapter 377
Alyssa did not attend the jewelry show to flaunt her status as Winston Taylor’s daughter.
She had two
goals.
Firstly, to address the allegations of snatching the opportunity from Beckett Group through
media
interviews to stop the speculations.
Secondly, she delivered pastries to Ada at the venue, mainly to monitor Betty’s
movements and gain
control over the situation.
She would never allow that calculative bitch to gain the upper hand.
Ada showed up with a distinguished middle-aged man dressed in a brown suit.
“Ms. Alyssa, allow me to introduce you,” Ada said with a smile. “This is Vincent Carter, the
global CEO of
AX and a dear friend of mine.”
“Vincent, this is Alyssa Taylor, the manager of KS World Hotel. She’s a talented lady!”
Vincent, a native of Yoarkley with blonde hair and blue eyes, hailed from a blue-blooded

“Mr. Carter, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Welcome to Solana City,” Alyssa greeted him with
a warm smile
as she extended her hand.
“Nice to meet you too, Ms. Taylor. It’s our honor to have you at AX’s show,” Vincent replied
in halting
Cyrrisian and shook her hand.
Ada’s eyes darted between the two. She sensed that something was off. This should have
been the first
encounter between Vincent and Alyssa, but they gave off a feeling that they were familiar
with each other.
The reporters were gaping at the two. Vincent had royal blood and carried himself with
poise and
haughtiness. However, he beamed warmly at Alyssa like she was family.
Everyone was in awe of Alyssa. They assumed that it was only normal for a ravishing
beauty to attract the
attention of men.
“Ms. Taylor, what a coincidence!/I didn’t expect to run into you here.” Zoe lifted the hem of
her floor-
length gown and trotted to Alyssa with the grace of a swan.
Her dark eyes sparkled. A fairylike smile appeared on her face.
Alyssa squinted at Zoe with a sharp gaze. Next, she gave Zoe the cold shoulder and
turned to Vincent
and Ada with a smile. “Let’s chat on the side.”

Zoe was shaking in anger when she was blatantly ignored. How could they dismiss Landon
Harper’s little
sister?
Vincent and Ada had the same thought of finding a quieter spot to chat.
When they were about to leave, Zoe forced a smile suddenly and announced, “Ms. Alyssa,
your jewelry set today is stunning! The pairing of Pigeon Blood Rubies and rose gold is
classic indeed. It immediately
attracted my attention from afar.”
Her comment immediately drew everyone’s attention to Alyssa’s jewelry. Alyssa

gracious smile, saying, “Thank you.”
“But the jewelry isn’t from AX, right?” she bluntly pointed out.
The onlookers did a double-take and found it out, too. Alyssa’s jewelry was gorgeous, but
anyone with
decent jewelry knowledge could tell it wasn’t an AX product.
This appeared to have gone against the rules of the AX brand, and Alyssa had committed
this faux pas in
front of the global CEO.
“It’s AX’s jewelry show today, but you’re wearing pieces from other brands. That seems
rather inappropriate, don’t you think?” Zoe raised her chin with a mocking look.
She continued, “Considering your status and the backing of the Belbanks KS Group,
showing some respect to the event’s organizer shouldn’t be a difficult task. After all,
you’re here for their event, aren’t
you?
“Or perhaps you’re wearing your own brand and using this show as a platform to promote
your products?
That’s impressive. What a capable businesswoman you are!
“You’ve certainly displayed remarkable sales and marketing skills!” Zoe’s caustic remarks
hit the mark, leaving the reporters staring at Alyssa and murmuring among themselves.
