Chapter 631 He recognized Her
This time, Olivia had made a mistake.
The only mistake was for such an important matter, and Kelly's anger always needed an outlet. "The promotion opportunity you were promised before is gone!" she snarled.
Olivia was stunned. It was as if she had been dealt a heavy blow. She quickly dropped to their knees and moved forward a couple of steps, looking at Kelly with a pleading expression.
"Ms. Harriette, I can make amends and do other tasks. Just tell me what you need, and I promise to do my best. I only ask that you don't lose faith in me, and please don't cancel my promotion," Olivia pleaded desperately.
Kelly felt an illusionary sense of control, as if she could dictate everything about the person in front of her.
No. It wasn't an illusion.
She currently held 69% of the shares in Young Group, which made her the largest shareholder. Eventually, the entire Young Group would also belong to her, giving her the authority to make all decisions for Young Group's employees.
This great sense of satisfaction finally eased some of the anger Kelly felt.noveldrama
"Oh, so eager for a promotion?" Kelly raised an eyebrow and smiled, looking at Olivia as if looking at an ant on the ground.
Olivia quickly nodded. "I want to succeed. Please give me a chance, Ms. Harriette."
"I've already given you a chance. Giving you another one isn't out of the question, but if you mess things up for me again this time, I'll make sure you can't stay in Regalia. No, in fact, you won't have a place in the entire jewelry industry."
She now had this capability!
Olivia finally felt hopeful. "Thank you, Ms. Harriette. This time, I'll definitely do my best to make sure you're satisfied."
After she finished speaking, she waited for Kelly's instructions.
Kelly seemed to think of something, and a sly smile appeared on her face. The woman in the red dress... Didn't Kelly want to rip off the mask from her face and the gown from her body?
She had to openly snatch the mask, but as for the red dress... She would just leave that to Olivia.
She originally thought that was enough, but then the woman said, "Be careful in the future". The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became.
Ripping off the gown wasn't enough-she also wanted...
The malice on Kelly's face was becoming more intense. She beckoned Olivia with a finger, and Olivia immediately kneeled down and leaned in to listen.
Kelly leaned in and whispered softly in Olivia's ear.
Each sentence became increasingly malicious, and Olivia's expression changed as she listened.
After she was done speaking, Kelly glanced at her. "What? Can't do it?"
Olivia snapped back to attention and said, "I can do it. I can do it."
"Ha! You're smart. I knew you could do it, and you'll do it well."
Kelly's lips curled into a slight smile, sending shivers down Olivia's spine.
The two of them understood each other without needing to say it out loud-if this matter couldn't be resolved, the consequences for Olivia would go beyond just missing out on a promotion.
Olivia knew that if she didn't go along with Kelly's "malice", things wouldn't end well.
Kelly knew that Olivia was both intelligent and practical, so she wasn't worried about her revealing any information.
And just now, the woman in the red dress... Kelly let out a soft laugh as if she had just decided the woman's fate.
She also still wanted to grab the mask off the woman's face herself.
"That mask with the black gown... that'll work too," Kelly said, as she glanced
sadly at the red gown with white paint splatters on it.
There was no choice-only the black gown was left...
"Whatever. I'll just wear this one then. It's black, so it shows respect for the deceased Rose, and it's nice to receive some compliments from people," Kelly compromised with herself.
She changed into the black gown.
The black dress without any other embellishments looked really dull and uninteresting.
Kelly usually didn't like the color black, but today she was making an exception.
While in the room, Kelly redid her makeup. Since she wasn't satisfied with the gown, her makeup had to be flawless and striking.
...
At that moment, Gabriel, who was eavesdropping outside the room, had become visibly upset.
That Harriette...
It turned out things aren't as bright and sunny as they seemed on the outside. Just hearing her slap the assistant twice was enough to make anyone feel disgusted.
Based on what Gabriel just heard, changing the gown was part of her plan.
Earlier outside, she deliberately tried to dirty her gown. But even though she managed to do so, something unexpected happened when she tried to enact her plan.
Did she not get the one she wanted?
Gabriel had a hint of disdain in his
eyes. He had encountered countless
people especially women, and
suddenly he realized that this
Harriette seemed to resemble
someone he knew. '
She was another woman full of schemes and plans, putting on a good act and making it hard for people to like her.
However, that person... had already passed away. The news was that he passed away in a car accident.
Gabriel snapped back to attention when he heard someone inside about to come out. He quickly stepped aside, hiding himself completely in a dark corner.
"Do a good job." When Kelly left, she made sure to give Olivia a specific instruction.
Gabriel listened in, and his eyebrows furrowed again.
Earlier, he didn't hear what Harriette instructed the assistant to do, but he was certain it wasn't anything good. He was worried that someone might be in trouble again.
And that person... The image of the woman in the red dress inexplicably appeared in Gabriel's mind. Was she Harriette's target?
Gabriel was lost in his thoughts. He initially planned to go to the rooftop to find some peace and quiet, but he suddenly changed his mind.
When there was no one around, he emerged from the shadows and then went downstairs. He followed the assistant to whenever she was going.
In the darkness, there was no one around.
The assistant made a phone call, but she spoke so softly that he couldn't make out what she was saying. After a while, the assistant hung up and came back.
Gabriel quickly moved out of her way. He was frowning deeply.
He guessed that the assistant was probably off carrying out the task that Harriettehad given her.
Gabriel still didn't know exactly what needed to be done. However, what did it have to do with him? At tonight's dinner party, he was just an observer.
Gabriel thought about it for a moment, but then he let out a bitter laugh. Regardless, he just couldn't stand by and do nothing.
After a moment of thought, Gabriel
arrived at the villa's garden. He
walked into the crowd and casually
picked up a glass of alcohol. He
subtly moved toward a certain
figure.
"If something comes up, come home early," Gabriel whispered softly when there
was no one beside the woman in the red dress.
The two of them were standing back to back.
Rose turned around in surprise. Just from seeing his side profile, she recognized
it was Gabriel. Even with a mask on, she recognized him.
"Are you... talking to me?" Rose asked, somewhat unsure. She altered her voice
so the other person wouldn't recognize her.
Gabriel didn't look back. He tilted his head back, sipping the alcohol in his glass. His eyes focused on the figure
in black, making sure that Harriette wasn't paying attention to them, and he continued speaking.
"This dinner party isn't all that fun. It's getting dark, and it's not safe for a girl to be
out alone. Better to head home early."
Rose felt his kind intentions. Was he worried that something might happen to her?
But... everyone outside believed she was dead, and she was certain that Gabriel was not among those who knew the truth about her faked death.
Did he recognize her?
