Ella smiled when he heard this, "This kind of woman must not be taken, once you marry her you won't be able to control her. The key is that she is only good at squandering wealth and not doing anything, completely useless like a vase. Who knows, maybe she's only with you to covet the assets!"

He has seen many women like this.

Usually dressed up to attract men, just to marry into a wealthy family and transform into a phoenix perched on a branch.

Xavier stood quietly beside Ella, listening to him teach Xavier Jackson how to judge people, and couldn't help but smile.

He has met many women in his life, but only Ella has ever touched his heart.

At first, she was cold and aloof towards him, but gradually learned to be receptive, and now she even acts coquettish towards him occasionally.

He discovered many facets of this woman, but no matter which one, she captivated him.

"Bradley, I just don't understand. Southern Leonard's dominance is now established in the south, so why keep Lucy?" Xavier wrapped his arm around her slender waist, feeling helpless, "That's right, after the downfall of the Long family, Lucy should have died. But this woman has repeatedly targeted Freya, and even conspired with Selina to harm Freya's friends. So he wants to keep her around to slowly torment her, to dispose of her at will."

Listening to this, Ella blinked, "Bradley really has a plan. As long as he acts resolutely, that woman Lucy will definitely have a gruesome death!"

"Ella, tell me about the grudges between my sister-in-law and this Lucy and Jasmine!" Xavier's face was full of interest as he leaned in eagerly.

He truly admired Freya, and was extremely curious about everything related to her.

"Let's talk about it after we leave this elevator. This perfume smell is making me nauseous!"

After saying that, Ella was the first to step out of the elevator. The overpowering scent of perfume had spread too far, making her uncomfortable as she waved her hand to fan the air.

The three of them entered another elevator, and Ella began to tell the story.

Xavier listened intently, becoming more and more shocked as he listened, his eyes widening...

Meanwhile, in the corridor.

Lucy tightly clenched her fists, her face looking terrifyingly ugly.

Suddenly, she reached out and slapped Jasmine hard, "It's all because of you attracting the wrong people, causing me to have bad luck too!"

Jasmine was inexplicably slapped in the face, covering her hot and angry face.

"Lucy, you also have grievances with Freya. Moreover, Ella is Freya's person. She has more than just me to deal with."

"You dare to argue!" Lucy, frustrated and nowhere to vent her anger, slapped her again.

With two slaps, Jasmine's entire face turned red.

She bit her lip tightly, clenched her fist, and finally stopped pretending to be weak. "It's useless even if you kill me. Freya is still alive!"

"Lucy, don't forget, the Long Clan has already declined. You heard what that man just said. Leonard is no longer cooperating with you. In other words, you are already a discarded pawn. What right do you have to be so arrogant with me?"

After speaking, she mustered her strength and slapped Lucy in the same way.

Lucy did not expect to be hit, let alone by Jasmine herself.

She was furious and ready to teach her a lesson, but Jasmine's voice sounded lightly once again.

"If you still want me to deal with Freya for you, you should restrain your princess temper. If even I am not on your side, with your current appearance, you are no match for Freya. In that case, she will crush you under her foot, and you will never be able to turn the tables in your lifetime."

"Ha, do you dare to threaten me?" Lucy responded coldly, "Don't forget how you, an international supermodel, got to where you are. If it weren't for climbing into the bed of the big boss and getting pregnant, would you have your current status and position?" Lucy knew everything about Jasmine's past. Because, back then, she was the one who helped introduce Jasmine to the big boss and gave her the idea to climb into his bed. As for later when Jasmine didn't want the child and found an adopting family, she also helped with that. And Jasmine's background was kept secret with the help of Xiang Nan, arranged by her. Unexpectedly, Jasmine ended up being involved with Xiang Nan. Everything about Jasmine was under her control. This was why Jasmine had always been at her disposal, because she held all her secrets - if any were revealed, Jasmine would fall from grace. She was just a pawn in her hands, yet this woman dared to strike her. Lucy was so angry that her face turned pale, and she slapped Jasmine hard. This time, Jasmine didn't Reitaliate but stood there foolishly, with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

She dared not clench her fists, nor even let out a breath. "Listen to me and deal with Freya properly. Otherwise, if you upset me, I will expose your dark secrets. I have no way out now, so if I'm going down, I'll take someone with me."

Lucy pulled a tissue from her purse, wiped her hands, then threw it at Jasmine's feet before leaving with a sway of her hips, chin held high.

She ended up in this situation all because of Freya.

Since she couldn't have what she wanted, she would rather destroy it than let anyone benefit from it for free!

Jasmine watched her walking away, flames of anger burning in her eyes.

At that moment, the phone in her purse started to ring.

She picked it up and saw it was Mr. Yang recommended by Mrs. Shawn .

"Hello, Mr. Yang."

She swiped the screen to answer, and Jasmine greeted him in a coquettish tone.

Boss Yang felt all his old bones getting sore, he cleared his throat and said, "Is it Miss Linda?"

"Yes, General Yang, what's the matter?"

"Well, the thing is, Shawn asked me to help you secure a chance for the fashion show, but I'm sorry to say that the organizers have already found more suitable candidates, so..."

Shawn didn't continue with the rest of his words, understanding that the other party could hear.

As expected, Jasmine immediately changed her expression, looking surprised, "Who is that person?"

"I'm not too sure either, the organizers refused to reveal!"

Jasmine had a feeling that the sky was about to fall. She was an international supermodel, with very few models in the world better than her, all of whom were top Ellan brands.

She investigated and found that Lucy and Celia were both busy in Ellan and did not participate in this fashion show.

As for Naz, she heard that she had sprained her ankle during a show recently and was currently recuperating.

Apart from these three people, no one was more suitable for this event than her.

Since the organizers have rejected her, she finds it hard to accept.

"Mr. Yang, could you please put in a good word for me? I can't afford to lose this opportunity."

Lucy's voice was extremely humble, devoid of the previous sweet tone.

Mr. Yang helplessly replied, "I'm sorry, I've done all I can!"

With that, the call was cut off.

Lucy stood still, feeling at a loss.

She was unwilling to give up like this, so she immediately called Madam Shawn again.

Regardless, she was determined to become the star of the fashion show, no matter the cost!
