Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 81 Visiting Susan

Layla Ziegler brought Abigail Barton to the house of the famous fashion designer, Susan.

She was in her forties and was extremely close with Layla Ziegler.

Their becoming friends could be considered a coincidence.

That was ten years ago.

At that time, Layla Ziegler and Tony Parks were watching a fashion show in Ferropen. It just so happened that Susan

was exposed for plagiarising another designer’s work.

Susan was mad and kept explaining in Ferropenean that she had not plagiarized, but that the man had plagiarized

her work. She claimed that the man was her boyfriend, but she did not know that he pursues her to plagiarize her

work.

No one believed her.

Soon after, someone found out that she had a daughter, but the father was unknown.

Everyone felt that her character was unreliable.

The agency wanted to terminate the contract with her and even asked her to compensate for the high penalty. She

had nowhere to seek justice and no one believed her.

Susan’s mother was at the scene. When she saw her daughter getting bullied, she was so angry that she spoke

Chanaease. She said that her daughter was wronged and that all her daughter’s work was done independently. No

one understood her words and chased her out of the scene.

No matter how Susan explained, no one believed her.

Only Layla Ziegler believed her and was even willing to pay her compensation.

Layla Ziegler had actually taken a fancy to Susan’s talent because the fashion section of Parks Group was one of

the main businesses.

Although Layla Ziegler was not qualified to participate in the management of Parks Group, Layla Ziegler was a

smart person and knew that talent was hard to find.

She had the foresight to path the way for her son.

What’s more, Tony Parks’s development overseas also involved the fashion section.

Susan guessed that Layla Ziegler had taken a fancy to her talent, but she was still touched at that time.

After all, no one was willing to believe her back then, let alone help her.

Layla really took out 4.5 million dollars to help her resolve her problem.

She wrote Layle Ziegler a receipt, promising to return the sum in three years.

However, Layla Ziegler did not mention anything about hiring Susan. She only asked if Susan was willing to join their

Parks Group office overseas. She completely respected Susan’s intentions.

That kind of non-forceful behavior won Susan’s favor.

At that time, Susan said that she had to file a lawsuit first. Everything could wait until after the lawsuit.

Layla Ziegler was very understanding and supported her in the lawsuit. She even lent Susan Tony Parks’s lawyer.

After half a year, Susan won the lawsuit.

That ex-boyfriend paid her compensation and fees for various moral and reputational damages dealt. Susan

successfully returned Layla Ziegler the sum, and the two of them became close friends.

After experiencing such a calamity, Susan no longer wanted to develop overseas and returned to the country.

In the end, she did not work with Parks Group, but she was on good terms with Layla Ziegler and was willing to

share every new design with Layla Ziegler.

Seeing that Layla Ziegler had brought Abigail Barton over to visit, Susan was very welcoming. “Layla, quickly sit

down and have some fruit.”

Susan greeted Layla Ziegler and Abigail Barton warmly.

She couldn’t help but took a few more glances at Abigail Barton.

Layla Ziegler introduced her to Susan. “Susan, this is Alexander’s wife. She’s also a fashion designer. Please take

care of her in the future.”

“Layla, you’re too kind. I’ll definitely tell her everything I know about fashion design,” said Susan happily.

Susan was a little regretful.

She had a very good impression of Alexander Parks. After all, she watched him grow up for ten years. Although

Layla Ziegler’s background was not very glorious, after being Mrs. Parks of the Parks family, she behaved very well.

Alexander was also brought up well. He was polite and independent, outstanding in all aspects.

Initially, she planned that after her daughter’s 18th birthday the year after, she would take the initiative to suggest

for her daughter and Alexander Parks to get engaged first and marry two years later, since everyone knew each

other well.

Although she was not from a wealthy family, she had raised her daughter very well. Moreover, she had more than

two billion in assets. Coupled with her reputation in the fashion industry, they were considered to be of equal social

status.

But Alexander Parks married another woman, so forget it. Fate couldn’t be forced.

“Abigail, show Susan your design. Let Susan give you some advice,” Layla Ziegler said.

Abigail Barton immediately took out her design from her bag.

Layla Ziegler looked at Susan eagerly. “Susan, how is it?”

Susan scanned the design and immediately realized the problem. “Is this a series? What is the theme you want to

express?”

Abigail Barton immediately said with confidence, “The theme I want to express is nobility, elegance, beauty, and

youth. Aunt Susan, look at this dress. Isn’t this skirt especially princess-like? Isn’t it especially dignified?”

“Mm,” Susan replied. “The hem of this princess dress is very well designed. It would be better if the neckline is not

strapless. After all…”

Susan was about to say that since it was a princess dress and she had to be dignified, it would be better to use a

more conservative collar.

She also wanted to say that designing clothes had to be simple. As long as a piece of clothing could express a

theme, it would be great. No piece of clothing could express multiple themes. That would only look messy.

Moreover, many things were actually conflicting.

If it is to be dignified, it’s simply dignified. It can’t be dignified and lively at the same time.

If it is to be youthful, focus on bringing that out.

When designing clothing, take into consideration the age group for which the clothing was designed.

Attributes of youths and that of elderlies could not be merged together forcefully. That would only make things look

out of place.

Abigail Barton directly interrupted Susan, “I think the biggest selling point of this dress is the strapless neckline. It’s

princess-like and fashionable. In addition, I want to add flounces here. Aunt Susan, what do your

think?”

“Mm, it’s pretty good,” Susan answered.

Her primary rule for her to teach was that the other party had to be humble. She would never tell the truth to

arrogant people because they were already full of themselves and would not listen to anything. Why should she

offend others by telling the truth?

“I think it’s very good too. I’ve spent a long time drawing these designs. Every design is drawn when I’m inspired.

Sometimes, I’ll suddenly have an inspiration in the middle of my sleep and I’ll immediately get up and draw it,”

Abigail Barton said.

“Yes, it’s pretty good.” Susan smiled.

Initially, on account of Layla Ziegler, she actually wanted to teach Abigail Barton something. But forget it. Not to

mention that Susan was very reputable in the fashion industry. Even if she was just an ordinary

designer, she was older than Abigail by twenty years. Abigail should be more humble even just considering Susan’s

seniority.

Obviously, Abigail Barton did not know how to respect others, let alone displayed humility. There was no need for

Susan to teach her.

She laughed…
