President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free

Chapter 234: Feeling Jealous When Meeting Your Love Rival

Hayden Downey was startled, “The ST Group?”

“Yes.” Dante Burke turned around and wrote on the small blackboard where he did the design introduction, “As the scandal of the ST Group’s clothing company was dredged up in the early years, their reputation was destroyed and the clothing company was liquidated in bankruptcy. Then, they wanted to involve in the clothing industry again, but due to the impact of the previous damage, they could only name the company with a name unrelated to the ST Group.”

Thinking of it, it was just a way to clear up the relationship and confuse the public.

Generally, people wouldn’t look into the source origin of the company when buying stuff. The ST Group had grasped this point so that its new company could stand up again in the clothing industry.

Even Hayden didn’t think of this. If it wasn’t for Dante’s reminder, she would have thought that Yi-Pai Clothing was just a bush league company.

“Even if the ST Group is behind it, we still have to sue them. At least we show them that we are not to be messed with.”

Hayden frowned.

Even if it was related to Joseph Beckham, so what? She felt ridiculous that the ST Group would have privately set up such a cheap company to profit.

Dante raised his brows noncommittally, “Whatever. We won’t produce the last batch of clothes again anyway. They can only copy what we have here out-dated.”

Dante didn’t care about the matter of plagiarism. It was customary for a person like him not to quarrel with others over some trivial issues.

But Hayden would never tolerate any wrongdoings. So she immediately instructed her assistant to have the commercial lawyer issue lawyer’s letter to the few companies who involved in the plagiarism, as well as Yi-Pai Clothing.

On Friday night, Hayden had a flight to Shanghai to attend a business banquet.

She had a clear sense of purpose for attending it. Among those who came to the banquet, there was the general manager, East China of Joann Group. Joann Group wanted to customize a batch of staff uniforms, and he was the one in charge of it. If she could win the bid, then it would be a hundred million order, and this would be very helpful for Green Lemon Clothing to expand the market in the early stage.

At the banquet, there were many elites of the apparel industry from Shanghai and Nanking.

Hayden was introduced by the editor-in-chief of the magazine Shanghai Lady ‘VV’, Edwina Perez, to join this party. It was Edison Godfery who introduced Edwina to Hayden before Hayden left Nanking.

Edwina was straightforward, “Mr. Godfery had treated me well before. I knew he was married, just that I didn’t expect his wife to be so young.”

Hayden just smiled, not to explain much about her relationship with Edison.

It was not necessary to talk too much about her relationship with Edison to those unrelated ones. And it was indeed hard to explain too.

Edwina took Hayden around to meet a lot of people in the banquet, and she led Hayden to the general manager of Joann Group, Bowen Wright, “Mr. Wright, this is Ms. Downey from Green Lemon Clothing that I mentioned to you on the call.”

Hayden stretched out her hand, “Hello, Mr. Wright, I’m Hayden Downey.”

“Hi.” Bowen shook her hand politely with a natural look.

Edwina must have interacted with Bowen beforehand. Otherwise, he might be asking what was this Green Lemon Clothing at this moment.

“Mr. Wright, it’s a bit noisy here. How about going over there to talk?”

Hayden took the initiative to talk with Mr. Wright. After all, they were businessmen. Nobody was here to relax, but just to socialize only. So it was better to go straight to the point.

Mr. Wright readily agreed on it.

Edwina accompanied as they headed to the rest area of the banquet hall.

In the corner of the banquet hall, a delicate woman was holding a glass of champagne, staring at Hayden thoughtfully, feeling gloomy.

“My dear Viola, why are you here by yourself? No one accompanies you?”

A man’s voice came from her side.

Viola Kidman turned around and glanced at him.

Samuel Shawn, the famous ladies’ man in Shanghai, had been chasing after Viola for more than two years. He was willing to spend money on her, but he used to have many women around him, and Viola was into Joseph back then. So she didn’t consider him at all. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Just a pastime during her boredom.

And he showed up when Viola was bored. It was him who invited her to today’s banquet. Viola just finished shooting a commercial in Shanghai. She had nothing to do, so she came.

“Yeah.” Viola smiled, “Someone invited me as his date. The party just started, he left me here alone and went flirting with others. So was I unaccompanied?”

“Who’s it, being so blind? Could there be anyone prettier than Viola you in this banquet hall?” Samuel Shawn’s words were so sweet even on scolding himself.

Viola laughed and then pointed her finger, “There. I think that one over there looks good. Compared to me, it’s neck and neck.”

“How’s that possible?”

Samuel Shawn took a casual glance, and the moment he saw Hayden, his eyes were fixed on her.

If Viola was described as icy, the woman over there wearing a burgundy neck dress was definitely hot, with long wavy hair scattering on her shoulders and the mature charm of a young woman with a sense of innocence too.

Who was this beauty?

Samuel Shawn thought in his heart that she would probably be a young lover brought by some boss.

“It’s so enthralling, right, Mr. Shawn?” Viola joked aside, looking gloomy, “If you like her, it should not be a problem for you to take her down with your charm, right?”

Samuel Shawn came back to his senses and shook his head, “Forget about it. I’m not playing with fire to beard the lion in his den. That’s the general manager of Joann Group, Bowen. How would I dare to mess with the woman with him?”

“No way.” Viola pretended to be puzzled, “That woman is called Hayden Downey. I knew her. She’s here with the chief editor of VV, Edwina. It seems that Edwina is introducing business to her. I’m afraid Mr. Wright and her haven’t even met before.”

“Really? A business? What kind of business?”

“A clothing company, just opened. Hayden Downey was Joseph Beckham’s ex-girlfriend. She established her own company after their breakup. It looks like she has a lot of connections, and she’s good enough for you.”

Samuel Shawn liked hearing this, and he couldn’t help himself to look again at Hayden, “You said that she’s Joseph’s ex-girlfriend? Aren’t you too? So? Feeling jealous of meeting your love rival? Want me to vent your anger?”

“I don’t think so.” Viola took a sip of wine, “I have no interaction with Joseph for a long time. As for Hayden, I do have some history with her. But I would prefer that Mr. Shawn have a good time tonight rather than venting my anger.”

Samuel Shawn preferred to be held in high esteem. He was overjoyed as Viola said this, “Don’t worry. You think of me so much, and I would surely vent your anger as well as enjoying it too.”
