Right after that, Sandy turned to Yvette.

“I heard from someone in IT department that she’s already agreed to attend the forum. But seriously- how does a disfigured girl even have the nerve to show up at something like that?”

She had personally witnessed Alice’s capabilities.

That firewall–no matter what she did from the inside, she hadn’t been able to break through it.

If Alice were allowed to shine again, they really would be on the back foot.

Yvette let out a cold laugh.

“A country girl is still a country girl. All those things before? Just coincidences. Like someone who gets a zero in literature but a perfect score in math. Impressive in one spot, but ultimately useless.”

Sure, Alice might draw attention for a while, but in the end, she’d still end up as a pawn for the big players, and then she’d fade into the background like everyone else.

Ruining her face was just a way to remind her not to lose herself.

With that ugly face, Eric wouldn’t even want to be around her anymore.

The thought made Yvette’s smile grow even wider.

“Sandy, you really are ruthless. I love it.”

Linda, listening in on their conversation nearby, was also pleased.

She loved this feeling–sitting back, doing nothing, and watching her enemy suffer.

“Linda.”

Yvette suddenly called her name.

Linda’s heart skipped a beat.

Even if she had Les helping her now, she knew very well that Les wouldn’t dare cross Yvette.

So there was no way she could afford to offend someone from such a powerful family.

“Ms. Martinez, did you need me?” she asked carefully.

“You’re her sister. Go check the dressing room and see why she hasn’t come out yet. What, does that country girl think we’re all going to sit around waiting for her?”

Linda wasn’t stupid.

She knew Yvette wasn’t really asking her to check. This was just about making sure that when things blew up, all the suspicion would fall on her.

She was meant to be the scapegoat.

She forced a smile, though it didn’t reach her eyes. “Ms. Martinez, why do I have to check on her? I

But when she glanced toward the dressing room, her eyes suddenly widened in shock, her face full of disbelief.

Alice had suddenly stepped into everyone’s view.

Her outfit wasn’t even a custom design.

It was one of the Nolan Group’s currently promoted looks–a dirndl–style skirt paired with a crisp white blouse.

The blouse’s embroidery depicted a Renaissance–style seraph, while the dirndl skirt’s hem featured a seraphic bird.

The two designs complemented each other perfectly.

On top of that, Nolan Group’s clothing was always top–tier in quality, and on her, it looked downright exquisite.

Her hair was simply swept up into a loose bun, topped with a dangling tiara.

No one had expected it—a so–called country girl–but her poise made it seem like she’d been professionally trained.

As she walked, the tiara swayed just slightly, adding a touch of grace and elegance.

Her beauty was already well–known, but this was the first time anyone had seen her carry herself like this.

That’s what made it truly stunning.

Now, with her beauty paired with such composure, she looked less like a small–town nobody and more like the heiress of an old–money family stepping right out of history.

For a moment, the entire set went silent.

Eric had originally planned to discuss a design contract, but the client had canceled at the last minute.

So Daniel had taken it upon himself to visit the set.

Someone–quick on the draw–snapped a photo of Alice and posted it online.

Daniel let out a low whistle. “Mrs. Nolan really doesn’t make a move until she’s ready to blow everyone away.”

Eric lifted his gaze slightly, seeing the enlarged photo on Daniel’s phone.

Even without heavy makeup, Alice’s face held up perfectly on camera.

In fact, it was obvious the photographer had tried to make her look bad, even going so far as to angle it in

way that made her look shorter.

But Alice was slim, so even though the photo made her look a bit shorter, she still carried the modern heritage–style dirndl skirt beautifully.

“Daniel.”

“Huh?”
