Chapter 324 A Cherry on Top

• Because of Emily Keyson’s arrival, it was Du Qianshan who got slapped in the face instead. She never thought things would flip like this—Emily actually chose to side with Celia Jeane, and whatever “friendship” she’d had with Emily didn’t count for squat right now.
• Du Qianshan couldn’t figure it out. What trick did Celia use to make Emily bow her head? Before Emily showed up, Du had played out a dozen scenarios in her mind, never expecting a sure‑thing to suddenly go sideways. She was pissed. The gift she’d carefully prepared for Emily? Not only did Emily refuse it, she handed it back to Du in front of everyone in the Design Department, giving her zero face, not caring about her feelings at all.
• For days, Du Qianshan and the designers in her camp had strutted around like they’d already won—bragging, even flaunting it in front of Celia. And now? Emily didn’t play along with their script at all. They were being mocked and looked down on by Celia’s people, and they had no comeback. Truth was, they were too embarrassed to even try.
