Hector, the assistant at Ward Group was scrolling social media when he saw the news; Designer Teds was back. After two years, she had finally returned back. He hurried to Teddy’s office. "Mr. Ward. Teds is visiting the Golden jewelry store."

"Show me what you got!"

Hector handed his phone to Teddy. 

Cody, who was standing close by, bent to take an interested look. His eyes grew wide when he viewed the pattern clearly. "Have you actually located her?”

However, Teds location was still unknown.

Calmly, Teddy said, "She probably doesn't want to be found."

"Then what should we do?" Cody gave his chin a contemplative rub.

After giving it some thought, Teddy said, "on the tenth of next month is Celia’s birthday. The manager of Golden Jewellery will be among the many people I invite. Let's discuss and see what we can uncover.”

Hector nodded and left.

Cody pondered for a moment, but then he scowled as a thought occurred to him. "Look Ted, based on your recent behavior, I think you have feelings for Fay.” he wanted to explain. But he was interrupted by Teddy’s harsh stare.

"Fay and I simply got married for the sake of my grandmother. We can't tolerate one another,” Teddy said, "I don’t love her so you’re mistaking. It's better to get a quick divorce than to be stuck in a miserable marriage forever. So think twice before jumping to conclusions.”

Teddy thought back to a time before they were divorced. Fay developed a fever one day. She muttered the name of a man while she was out of it. He felt a little uncomfortable thinking about it.

Cody chuckled clumsily and replied, "Okay my mistake. I won't mention it again.”

Fay was looking up information online in the meanwhile. Abruptly, she learned about Francis outstanding performance in the Jim Project. Her cheeks lit up with a small smile of pride. She was so proud of him.

In his career, Francis had accomplished so much. Fay wanted to congratulate him by getting him a gift. However, what ought she to get him?

She stroked her chin and thought for a long time, but she was at a loss for ideas. She and Francis had everything they needed, after all.

Fay ultimately made the decision to visit a mall after work. She went to Blu City's biggest mall after she left the company. She went into the men's accessories area via the elevator.

There were ties, belts, and watches. The range of products astonished her. She pondered for a while as she stood in the mall. The need for ties was constant. She ultimately decided to get Francis a tie.

Unexpectedly, a mocking voice cut her off as she got close to the tie shop. "Miss Roy? Oh, do you also want to purchase a tie? This isn't your normal shop. After your divorce from Mr. Ward, are you still able to purchase items like this?”

Two individuals were standing behind Fay when she turned around. The first was Celia in a pink gown. Celia’s best friend, Jill D’Amelio, stood by her.

Fay thought she was crazy. With the same disdainful tone, she answered Jill’s comments, "Do I know you? Does this relate to you in any way?”

“Well, I was correct. Why don't you respond to my query?” Jill smiled in a sardonic manner.

Fay gave Jill a sidelong glance. Without a word, she entered the store right away.

Jill blocked her path before entering. "Are you afraid to respond to me, or are you deaf? I finally get why Mr. Ward divorced you for my friend , haha. You lack education and are impolite. Cel is better than you in every way.”

Fay spun around and gave her a sharp look. "A well-educated and courteous individual like you obstruct my path and bark like a stray dog in public. Congratulations! You prevailed.”

"You..."Jill wanted to dispute it because she was so furious, but Celia intervened. "Jill."

Jill gave a chilly snort when she heard Celia’s voice. She turned back to Celia and said nothing more.

With a gentle smile, Celia took a step forward. She had a soft, non-aggressive appearance. "I apologize, Miss Roy. Jill is direct. Don't be upset with her, please.”

Fay gave a small snort. "I won't dispute with her, of course. I can't bite a dog back if it attacks me, after all."

"Who are you calling a dog?" Jill nearly lost her mind.

Fay gave an uninterested shrug. "I'm you calling a dog."

"You..." Jill was so furious that she was unable to complete her sentence.

Celia comforted her by patting her hand. She continued to glance at Fay while grinning. "Miss Roy, on the tenth of next month, I would like to invite you to my birthday celebration. That day, Teddy is going to invite a lot of people. You might run into your Mr. Right if you come.”

Jill said cruelly, "Cel wants you to observe the lives of the wealthy. You ought to express gratitude to her for her generosity.”

“Hehe. Will I accept your invitation, in your opinion?” Fay thought it was absurd.

"Tsk!You're a coward! Do you find it frightening to see Mr. Ward and Cel together? Will you feel depressed about that?” Jill asked.

"I apologize for disappointing you. Whether they are together or not doesn't matter to me," Fay remarked. Suddenly, the phone she was holding vibrated with a new message. she looked at the message.

[Miss, you are invited to a banquet on the tenth of next month by Mr. Ward of the Ward Group.]

As she read the message, Fay thought, "Teddy is unaware of who I am. Thus,  he is inviting me thinking it’s Teds designer.”

Things were becoming more intriguing.

Jill provoked Fay by purposefully making fun of her. "If you're a not coward! I challenge you to attend!"

Setting the phone down, Fay looked up at Jill. "Well, I wouldn't disappoint you because you invited me. I'm coming to see the lives of the so-called rich men."

"Miss Roy, really? Then, I'll ask his assistant to send you an invitation personally."

But Fay casually remarked, "No need."

"But you can't enter the banquet without an invitation," Celia responded.

"What makes you think I don't have an invitation?" Fay sneered as she spoke.

"Just boast! When the time comes, we'll see how ashamed you are.” Jil gave a snort. She received no response from Celia. Her eyes gleamed with a hint of excitement. It occurred to her, ‘Fay fell into the trap’
