?Chapter 317:


    She tried toe up with a defense, but her mind nked—nothing she said would make the situation any better.


    Realizing things were slipping out of her control, Yvette hurriedly changed the subject. “Ms. Watson, you’re the one who actually knows the designer from Yusip Twasto, right? Sylvia’s just acting like she does!”


    Hearing that, Reba quickly straightened up and gave another smug look around the room. “Obviously, I’m quite close with the designer. If I want something new, all I have to do is ask, and she’ll send me as many pieces as I want.”


    Ste watched Reba unt her im with misced confidence and couldn’t help but feel slightly exasperated.


    She had originally nned to let Reba save face, but now, it seemed her kindness had only encouraged more arrogance.


    Ste arched an eyebrow and asked casually, “Ms. Watson, are you sure you actually know the designer behind Yusip Twasto?”


    It was a in question, but to Reba, it hit like a challenge. Her breath caught for a second, and guilt flickered in her eyes. “I… Of course I do,” she replied hastily.


    Just then, a clear and familiar voice echoed through the room. “You im to know Yusip Twasto’s designer, but how is it you can’t recognize the person standing right in front of you—the founder and chief designer herself?”


    A smooth, confident voice rang out, turning heads—and catching Ste off guard.


    She looked up just in time to see a woman striding toward her, heels clicking against the floor, dressed in a sleek ck gown that practically screamed confidence.


    Reba blinked,pletely thrown. Who was this woman? And what was she talking about—founder of Yusip Twasto?


    The woman stopped next to Ste and turned to the crowd. “Let me introduce Sylvia Gilbert,” she said with a proud smile. “She’s the founder and designer of Yusip Twasto. All the jewelry you’ve been raving about? It’s her work.”

    Gasps and murmurs rippled through the room. People were stunned—frozen, even.


    Even William, who’d seen his fair share of surprises, looked genuinely shocked. He had no idea Ste was the one behind Yusip Twasto.


    Reba, on the other hand, looked like she’d just bitten into a lemon. “No way. How could she possibly be the founder of Yusip Twasto?”


    The woman—Josie—tilted her head and smirked. “Why not? Sylvia’s a badass. Always has been.”


    Josie didn’t sugarcoat things.


    And she definitely wasn’t going to go easy on someone like Reba, especially after how she’d treated Ste.
