"Do you think bringing Snowy back home will cause you trouble?" Freya asked.

After all, it was a vicious wolf. What if it hurt someone?

"No, but if you're afraid of hurting someone, we can just keep it tied up like a dog and just take it out for walks," Bradley replied.

Freya looked at Snowy. "Are you willing to come back with me?"

Snowy howled in response.

"Alright. Since you agree, you can come back with me and help guard the house."

She decided that she would arrange a room specifically for Snowy that Matthew and the servants would be kept away from.

The two stayed up on the mountain for a while before mounting their horses and returning to the stables.

Snowy followed closely behind, keeping up with the horses without any difficulty.

Back at the stables, Shadow One saw a wolf following them and immediately rushed to drive it away.

However, Shadow stopped her. "That is Madam's wolf. Don't hurt it."

Shadow One scowled.

Dealing with Freya was already difficult enough. Now, there was a wolf.

Freya was definitely a talented woman.

It seemed like it would be harder to get rid of her.

Shadow One stepped forward to help hold the horse.

Freya got off the horse and called for Snowy to follow her home straightaway.

Bradley followed behind them, watching the woman and the wolf chase each other with a smile playing on his lips.

Back at the villa, Freya had a room cleared out for Snowy, and instructed the servants not to go near it.

Just then, Ella hurriedly walked in from outside.

"Freya, bad news. Someone is causing trouble at our store."

"Who?"

"Our nemesis, Selena."

Upon hearing that, Freya furrowed her brows.

Selena just never gave up.

She was also a skilled designer. If Julia was ranked first globally, then Selena was ranked second.

Although she looked mean, she was actually quite talented.

"What does she want?"

"I heard she also opened a store in this city. A few days ago, we launched a galaxy skirt in our store, and Selena accused us of copying her design. Today, she brought group to provoke us into taking action."

"Take me to her."

All of Julia's clothes were original designs. Plagiarism was impossible.

Selena was clearly trying to stir up some trouble.

The two arrived at Julia and saw a group of people gathered at the entrance.

The leader of the group stood there with her hands on her hips and a face covered in heavy makeup and arrogance.

It was none other than Selena.

Freya narrowed her eyes and confidently approached.

She ignored the group and moved to head into the store.

Just then, someone from the group stopped her. "Julia is closed today. You can head to the flagship store of Selena across the street. There is even a sale today. All items are 10% off."

Freya coldly smirked. "Sorry, I don't know any Selena. I only know Julia."

After saying that, she pushed Selena aside and strode into the store.

Selena stumbled a few steps and nearly fell to the ground.

She lashed out at Freya in anger. "What are you doing? Can you afford the medical bills if you had injured me with that push?"

"Miss, this is Julia's store. If you want to bark like a dog, go back on the street. Once you're done, you're welcome to shop here. However, if you continue to insult others and cause trouble, we will have to call the police."

Ella crossed her arms and looked coldly at Selena.

"You are too arrogant. Tell Julia to come out. Compensate us for the plagiarism or Julia's store will not be able to operate at all."

"Plagiarism? Who exactly is plagiarizing whom?"

Ella sneered at them. "Julia's is ranked number one internationally. Selena, how highly ranked are you?"

"You..."

The mention of ranking infuriated Selena.

During the international bridal design competition, Selena was clearly about to win.

However, a designer named Julia, who no one knew of at all, suddenly produced a sensational piece and snatched away her win.

What was worse was that Julia did not even show up at the awards ceremony and had someone else collect her trophy on her behalf.

To this day, no one knew what Julia looked like.

There are rumors outside that Julia was a hideous monster.

If it she was not ashamed of her looks, why would she ask others to collect the award for her?

Selena wanted to force Julia to show her face as well as to scare her off.

"Has anyone ever heard of the first place copying from the second place? If word spreads, people might die of laughter."

Outside the store, there was a crowd of onlookers.

Someone responded, "Yeah! The one who is the first is naturally better than the second person. Why would they need to copy?"

"That's right. Those who plagiarize like to claim they were plagiarized from. I'm not surprised anymore."

Selena's face turned green with anger upon hearing that.

Through gritted teeth, she spat out, "Well, we'll know who the better designer is if Julia personally comes out and competes with me right here and now."

"Are you even worthy to compete with Julia?"

Freya could not stand it anymore and walked over to coldly stare at Selena. "There's no need for Julia herself to come out. The salespersons at Julia's store are all designers. They are all capable enough to compete against you."

"Hmph! How can sales associates even compete with me?" Selena disdainfully retorted.

"Yes, they are sales associates, but if you can't even beat them, then you have no right to compare yourself to Julia."

Selena viciously glared at Freya. She had thought Freya was just a customer, but Freya turned out to be working at Julia's store.

Her arrogant attitude almost drove Selena crazy.

"I don't need to personally challenge them."

"I'll have my employees compete with yours. If we win, tell Julia that it's war."

"Okay, no problem."

Freya readily agreed.

After both sides reached an agreement, a temporary competition arena was set up outside the store.

The street was crowded as everyone wanted to know who would come out on top.

Selena sent two designers from the store. Although they were not as skilled as her, they were more than capable of dealing with the sales associates of Julia's store.

In the competition, the audience acted as the judges.

A model was selected from the crowd, and the two competitors had to design outfits for the model. The model would then choose their favorite style, and the selected designer would win.

In the first round, it was Ella versus Amy of Selena's store.

The selection of the model was random and done through lots.

The first model to be selected was a teenage girl who looked quite naïve and young in her school uniform.

The key of the competition was in the fact that the designers had to guess what the model's preferences were in order to design an outfit she would be satisfied with.

Amy was a senior designer with a confident and assertive personality. She soon started sketching.

Ella, on the other hand, sat to the side and carefully observed the teenager.
