Chapter 376

“That’s not all! How could they walk the red carpet after Ada Kingsley? Who do they think

they are?”

“I didn’t take any photos of them. Just a waste of my storage space.”

“I know Betty is Javier Beckett’s daughter; and I heard that Zoe is Landon Harper’s sister.

They might not

be famous, but they’re filthy rich. I bet they paid a huge sum to show up last!”

Betty and Zoe entered the venue with satisfaction, thinking that they had garnered

enough attention.

To their dismay, they found reporters clamoring to interview celebrities like Ada or brand

designers. No

one wanted to interview the two young ladies at all.

“This is unacceptable! Are they blind?” Betty stomped when she was given the cold

shoulder. “How dare

they ignore us? They don’t know their stuff! Don’t they know I could end their careers if

they get on my bad

side?”

“Reporters are only after those who are worth something. They’ll come after you like

sharks lusting for

blood if you’re famous, well-connected, or influential,” Zoe released her frustration by

taunting Betty.

“Fine, fine. I don’t know anyone in the industry because Mom doesn’t want me to be in

touch with the

media. She says that rich people should keep a distance from the average folks for

prestige.” Betty might

be Zoe’s partner in crime, but she was no pushover.

She feigned innocence and took a dig at Zoe. “But Zoe, you’re a socialite in the city and

the mentee of a

famous pianist. Why didn’t they interview you at all? It’s ridiculous, don’t you think? I’m

angry for you.

Should I get a few reporters to chat with you?”

“Hmph, there’s no need for that. I prefer keeping a low profile and hate being watched like

animals in a

zoo!” Zoe scoffed, anger stirring within her.

The two fake ladies rolled their eyes at each other and turned away.

Suddenly, they heard a flurry of footsteps from behind.

“Look! It’s Alyssa Taylor!”

“Wow! I didn’t see her on the red carpet. Turns out she’s in the venue! That’s very slick of

her.”

“She’s the only one here who’s truly low profile. Not to mention, she managed her hotel

efficiently and

secured the bid for Ada Kingsley’s wedding. She’s beautiful and capable, unlike those who

just throw

money around for a red carpet appearance.”

The reporters might not have called Betty and Zoe out, but the two women felt like they

were being

slapped and shamed.

The reporters swarmed toward Alyssa. In the chaos, two of them bumped into Betty and

Zoe, nearly

pushing them to the ground.

“Argh! Are you blind or what?” Betty growled, regaining her balance. Meanwhile, Zoe

trembled with anger

as she watched Alyssa being surrounded by reporters.

“Ms. Taylor, what are your thoughts on winning the bid against the Beckett Group for Ada

Kingsley’s

wedding?” a reporter shouted a question.

“First of all, it’s my honor to work with Ms. Kingsley. I am grateful for her trust in KS World.

Secondly, I’d

like to emphasize that the Beckett Group is not on the losing side just because they went

after the same

business opportunity as we did.

“The Berenike Hotel has a longer history than the KS World Hotel and has always set the

benchmark for the industry. I hope there won’t be any prejudice against the Berenike

Hotel, and please don’t assume that this competition will strain the relationship between

KS Group and the Beckett Group.”

Alyssa knew that she had staged a perfect comeback, but she knew it was important to be

moderate.

She’d be dumb to gloat about her victory or lower her class by hitting out on the Beckett

Group.

“Gosh, Ms. Taylor is so charming! I’m smitten with her!”

“Exactly. She remains humble even after winning the project. She has a likable personality.

I thought she

was mean to wrangle the opportunity from the Beckett Group, but I’ve changed my mind!”

People showered Alyssa with compliments, which only fueled Zoe’s resentment. She

clenched her fists,

shaking with anger.

All of a sudden, she noticed the ruby earrings in gold on Alyssa’s ears and the matching

necklace on

Alyssa’s neck.

The Pigeon Blood Rubies are the rarest and the most expensive of all rubies.

Betty stared longingly at the huge rubies on Alyssa’s neck and swallowed hard in envy.

Zoe was similarly jealous of Alyssa but soon spotted a detail and quickly hatched a plan.
