Vicky scowled. “I think Anthony does have feelings for Jennifer, and he…doesn’t seem head over heels for Lily
either, so why is he struggling to settle this love triangle?”
“It’s because something is wrong with his mind,” replied Cece and pointed at her head. “I’m not insulting him. He is
actually sick in the head, and the way he thinks is different from others. I heard from Jennifer that Anthony’s
mother went into a coma to save him. His dad is deeply in love with his mother and almost went crazy because of
that. Anthony was taught that true love means giving your life to a person. When he was kidnapped and Lily risked
her life to save him, he mistook that for true love.”
She shrugged. “A person’s values and beliefs form from their childhood, and it’s impossible for Anthony to change
now. All things aside, Anthony does treat Jennifer well. They grew up together, after all. However, with Lily in the
picture, Jennifer will always come second… More precisely speaking, Anthony only has eyes for Lily, so to him,

The lights went out, and the fashion show started.
Vicky and Cece quieted down and watched the show.
Two hours later, the show ended, and the lights were turned on once again.
There were designs for both men and women on this show.
The international fashion show was hosted once a year and guided the direction of the fashion industry. Being a
fashion designer, Vicky must make sure that she was up to date with the latest trend and would travel overseas for
shows like this if she had to.
In the event hall, she spotted quite a few people she knew. After exchanging pleasantries with her acquaintances,
she brought Cece to the event hall next door.
“Vicky, where are we going?” Cece asked.
“The international fashion show is more than just a catwalk,” Vicky said with a smile. “The display hall next door will
showcase designs that didn’t make it to the stage. This is a place for fashion designers to exchange ideas and also
for them to sell their products. There are plenty of wealthy people who come here to buy their clothes here.”
“I see,” Cece said. “They all want to be the first to wear the best designs.”
Vicky nodded.
The two arrived at the display hall and chatted all along the way when suddenly, a sharp pain shot up Vicky’s foot.
She lowered her gaze and noticed that she had been stepped on by a heel.
“I’m sorry,” a melodious voice said. “I’ve accidentally stepped on you.”
Vicky looked up.
The woman wore a white shirt and a black coat on top, paired with black skinny pants on the bottom. Her feet were
adorned with a pair of tall black boots, accentuating her slender legs.

allure and confidence.
Her wavy cascading hair, in a deep shade of burgundy, flowed lazily around her, while her dark red eyeshadow
added a touch of allure and mystery to her appearance.
From head to toe, she emitted a captivating and dangerous aura.
“She’s so pretty!” Cece exclaimed. “Is she one of the models?”
The woman glanced at Cece with a smile. “I’m not, little girl.”
Vicky stared at the heel that was still on her foot and looked up at the woman, who was smiling, and said, “Miss,
you’re stepping on my foot.”
The woman seemed confused. “Haven’t I already apologized for that?”
Vicky frowned. “You’re still stepping on my foot.”
The heel was tall with a sharp edge, so it felt as though she had been stepped on by a knife.
Realization dawned on the woman. “Oh, I see.”
Instead of moving her foot, the woman stepped on Vicky even harder
