Chapter 255 Dirty Tricks
Even though Joanna was unwilling to have any sort of relationship with Queenie anymore, the former needed to get
to the bottom of the dress incident if she wanted to let it go.
When lunchtime came, Joanna headed over to Blossoms Steakhouse like she promised.
She got straight to the point as soon as she entered the door. “Mrs. Gardner called me yesterday to tell me that
they don’t need my dress anymore. Just what happened for her to change her mind like that?!’
Queenie remained calm talking to the enraged woman in front of her. “Sit down and have some food first, Director
Schmidt. We can have a nice, slow chat after eating.”
Joanna couldn’t help but wrinkle her forehead as she looked at the other woman’s relaxed appearance. She

Queenie?!”
Queenie proceeded to take a sip of lemon water. With her eyes on the steak in front of her, she didn’t give a direct
answer to Joanna’s question. “The steak has just been cooked. It tastes amazing. Give it a try, Director Schmidt. We
can continue talking about it if it suits your taste.”
Joanna couldn’t possibly slowly enjoy a steak when she was losing her mind over the matter, but she knew she
couldn’t panic upon seeing Queenie obviously putting on an act.
Suppressing her anger, she finally sat down. She then took a bite of her steak before prompting, “Go on. Tell me
what happened.”
It was only then that Queenie slowly put down the knife and fork in her hand. After taking another sip of her drink,
she suddenly said, “Nicole took Colton away after he got drunk last night.”
Joanna was slightly puzzled as to why Queenie was telling her this. “What are you trying to say?”
“It means that they might have already done the deed.”
Joanna was taken aback for a moment, but she soon asked, “What does that have anything to do with me?”
Queenie smiled in satisfaction when she saw how Joanna tried to remain nonchalant even when the news had
obviously unnerved her. She then started to talk about what they came here for. “Nothing. I am just telling you.
Let’s talk business.”
Queenie looked at her and started, “As far as I know, Nicole has borrowed the main product this season from Triton
Studio.”
“Are you talking about the pink gemstone?” A trace of surprise flashed in Joanna’s eyes, as she did not expect
Nicole to be able to pull off something like that.
“That’s right.” Queenie nodded.
Joanna finally knew why Anna didn’t want her dress anymore. It turned out that Nicole had such a trick up her
sleeve! It was no wonder that Nicole had always been unhurried and confident about winning.
That shameless woman!
Joanna could only feel the fire raging in her chest at this moment. She had put in so much effort for the celebration
of Wendy’s 18th birthday that she didn’t even complain about her name being left out of ‘Ann’.
However, she had gotten nothing in return. Not only was she not a founder for the brand, she had also lost her

She hated how this turned out. No, she loathed this!
Joanna could feel her whole body shaking out of hatred and anger. At that point, she wanted to tear Nicole apart
with her own hands!
Nicole curled the corners of her lips up when she saw Joanna about to blow a gasket, but she didn’t bring up how
Kevin was a fake.
She continued to fan the flames. “Nicole definitely did not borrow the jewelry overnight, but she is taking it out at
the most crucial moment. It is Wendy’s birthday tomorrow, and she only went to tell Mrs. Gardner yesterday. Don’t
you think she is doing it on purpose, Director Schmidt?”
Joanna closed her eyes and growled, “I am sure of it!”
She might not have been as angry as she was now if Nicole had been honest about the jewelry right from the start.
Joanna could have even fought for her place as the founder of ‘Ann’!
She was the one who was left empty-handed in the end!
Queenie only smiled brighter as she looked at how angry Joanna had gotten. She then swiftly chimed in, “Not only
that, Nicole even went home with Colton last night. I will spare you the details of the dirty tricks she must have
pulled.”
