Chapter 286 

Susan burst into the office, her chest still heaving slightly from her rush, clearly anxious. 

Anyone could see at a glance how much she cared for her daughter, Dorothy. 

It was like she was protecting her most precious treasure. 

Upon seeing her pillar of support arrive, Dorothy pouted, looking on the verge of tears, “Mom, I felt bad for her because she just got divorced. I came to help out with her business, and she teams up with her friend to call me a dog!” 

Susan’s brows furrowed, her eyes narrowing in anger as she tumed to me, ‘Jane, don’t push your luck! Apologize to my daughter!” 

“It’s clear the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” 

Christine couldn’t stand it any longer, “What do you mean, bite the hand that feeds‘ her? Who begged your daughter to patronize our business? I told her we didn’t want her order, but she wouldn’t leave us alone! 

“And who are you to speak to me?” Susan said disdainfully, her gaze landing on me with a threatening air, “Jane, I let it slide last time for your sake, but if she can’t keep her mouth shut today, I’ll make sure she disappears from RiverCity” 

Christine, who doesn’t take well to threats, flared up even more. “You think you’re all that…?” 

“Chris!” I cut her off sharply, reluctantly speaking up, “Stop, just go back to the office and wait for me!” 

I wasn’t worried about myself, but I feared for Christine’s safety. 

The Myers mother–daughter duo, they weren’t the most cunning, but certainly vicious, their words made me dare not gamble with Christine’s safety. 

Christine resisted, “Ill stay here with you…” 

“Go wait for me!” 

Dorothy had come looking for trouble, and now with Susan joining in, the two of them loved to throw their weight around. 

If Christine stayed, she surely wouldn’t be able to hold her tongue and would explode 

I forcibly pushed her into the office, despite her protests. 

Jane, they’ll bully you!” 

“Let them have their monent of fun. It won’t cost me a limb” 

Before our brand made a name for itself, we’d always be the ones seeking out clients, 

There might be even more difficult customers in the future. 

If we were not prepared for that, then there was no point in me doing bespoke designs. 

For now, it was just practice. 

I smiled reassuringly at her, “Just watch from there. If they try anything, you can come out, and I won’t stop you” 

“But you…” Reluctantly, Christine nodded as she added, “Just keep your distance from–them, in case they try something and I can’t stop them in time” 

“Will do,” I agreed without hesitation. 

Taking a deep breath, I closed the office door behind her. 

I settled back into my seat, looking at Dorothy. “Ms. Myers, can we now discuss what you’re looking for in your design?” 

“Apologize to Dorothy first!” Susan demanded fiercely, belittling me, “She graciously offered to help your business, and you can’t even recognize your place. What, do you think you’re Mrs. Ferguson or something?” 

“Mrs. Myers.” I smiled thinly, “Actually, I don’t need your daughter’s ‘generosity‘ to help my business. So, how about you leave? 

“That’s the thanks | get!” 

Susan stood up abruptly, pulling Dorothy by the arm, “Dorothy, let’s go! A person like her, what good design can she come up with? (10 contact a top international designer for you… 

That was exactly what I wanted. 

However, a look of surprise flashed across Dorothy’s face as she hesitated, then said in a coy voice, “Mom, I just wanted her to design it, you know? Then Bryant will see how kind I am to his ex–wife, and he’ll treat me even better.
