Daphne reached into her pocket, pulled out a business card, and handed it to Hailey. "If you're so confident in yourself, I hope you'll participate in the jewelry design competition in a week."
Hailey quickly reached out to take it.
Looking at the card, which read *Daphne, Chief Designer of Queen*, her hands trembled with excitement. "Yes... Yes! I will not disappoint you, Ms. Rainsford. I will definitely participate!"
Inside the car, Serena seemed to have finished her conversation. She lifted her gaze, looking languidly at Hailey.
Noticing the two were still there, she frowned slightly. "Let's go."
"Ah... Right, right!" Hearing her master's voice, Daphne immediately responded like an eager puppy.
She closed the car door, not even looking back. "Move it. I have to drive my... ahem, Miss Serena."
Hailey and Marianne were forced back two steps by the swinging door.
Daphne shut the door, walked around to the driver's seat, started the engine, and stepped on the gas.
The car drove off.
She didn't spare Hailey another glance.
"Mom, Serena..." Hailey watched in disbelief as the Maserati disappeared from view, her eyes wide with shock.
Earlier, she had seen the esteemed Ms. Rainsford from a distance, following behind Serena in a very respectful manner. She had tried to comfort herself, thinking it was just a matter of perspective or that they just happened to be leaving the Blackwood estate at the same time.
But...
Just now, Ms. Rainsford's fawning attitude toward Serena...
It was even more sycophantic than her own behavior toward Ms. Rainsford.
That was a world-renowned jewelry master.
What right did Serena have to order around a top-tier master like that?
How could Serena deserve that?
Hailey felt like Serena's actions were a direct slap in her face.
Daphne... was a master she revered and worshipped like a god!
Serena wasn't worthy!
Marianne's face twitched uncontrollably as she stared in the direction the Maserati had gone, her eyes practically shooting fire.
Did that wretched girl really think she could climb all over her just because she'd latched onto high society?
What an attitude!
Marianne seethed, grabbing Hailey's hand that held the business card She stared at the game Daphne printed on it and gritted her teeth. "Hailey, you must participate n this competition, and you must win!"
Hailey bit her lower lip. Receiving a personal invitation from Ms. Rainsford should have been thrilling. But thinking of Ms. Rainsford's servile behavior toward Serena left a bitter taste in her mouth "Mom Ms. Rainsford why is she acting like that toward my sister? If become Ms. Rainsford's apprentice, won't that put me a level below her?"
Marianne poked her on the head. "Are you stupid? Why do you care about that wretched girl? Are you going to throw away this
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
because
of her? You're studying
this field; you should know the weight that the name Daphne carries."
Becoming Daphne's apprentice would only be beneficial!
Thinking of Serena, Marianne's face filled with disgust. "That girl was flirting with everyone at the party. Ms. Rainsford is probably just driving her home as a favor to one of her sugar daddies!"
"Look, her sugar daddy doesn't even dare to drive her home himself. That just shows how much of a dirty little secret she is! Why should you worry about her?"
