Chapter 71

Nellie's words sure stirred up a storm.

Benjamin felt utterly embarrassed and fuming. He jabbed a finger at Nellie. "And who the heck are you? I don't even know you! You're obviously not some fashion world hotshot. Got any proof that Nathan's outfit is made from Jasmine's fabrics?" Paige jumped in quickly, "Exactly-where'd you pop up from? We definitely didn't invite someone as unknown as you."

Nathan stepped up, his tall figure shielding Nellie protectively. "She's my guest. Got a problem with that?"

Paige's expression soured. After all, it was Nathan's big day, and it was totally normal for him to have a few friends over.

"Nathan, you're young, and you don't know some stuff. Be careful who you hang out with. How could this young girl possibly tell if something was made from international, exclusive luxury fabric? Don't mistake some shady faker for a fashion world heavyweight." Paige's crew started whispering among themselves, "Is this girl someone Mr. Nathan brought in for support? Were those words all planned?"

Watching Paige and her son desperately trying to save face, Nellie decided to make them eat their words. She pulled out her business card from her purse and handed it to Benjamin. "I'm Jasmine's top disciple, and my code's Hyacinthus."
