I glanced at her before fixing my gaze on Jeremy. “You should expose her to the world more often. If she doesn’t even recognize the best fashion designer, you shouldn’t bring her out to embarrass yourself.”
“Fashion designer?” Irene’s expression darkened. “Jeremy, she must have hidden some money from you. We need to get that back too.”
Jeremy gently shook her hand. “I will. I’ll make sure her true colors show. An ugly duckling will always be an ugly duckling. It can never become a swan.”
Irene raised her head proudly. “Did you hear that, Ugly Duckling?”
I ignored the two of them and walked straight toward the hotel.
“Ms. Marvelli, long time no see.”
“Ms. Marvelli, we’ve missed you so much all these years.”
Inside the hotel, several business partners came forward to greet me. Irene watched this, her face darkening as she tried to step forward.
Jeremy held her back. “No rush. I’ll officially announce her dismissal shortly and the evidence of her affair will be shown too.”
A faint smile touched Irene’s lips. “Thank you for doing this for me.”
“That’s all I have to do. It’s proof of my love for you.”
