Edgar and His Destined Wife
Chapter 120

Chapter 120 Model

The fact that Jean Eyer was an unusual replacement for Sky Wilton to attend the big VK show was quickly leaked to the media by MON & Co. Staff.

For a moment, this news spread with an uproar around the fashion circle. Some said that since Jean Eyer was the only daughter of the Eyer family and studied design, this turnaround was only bound to happen.

Some also said that someone was helping Jean Eyer behind the scenes. On top of how there were rumors of her and Edgar Royden at the photoshoot, some even felt that there was a possibility that they might get back together.

This news made its way to Gigi Reece, and she nearly exploded with anger. She asked around, but she still couldn't get an invitation to the big VK show.

"Is it really difficult? A place where Jean Eyer can be a designer, but I can't get in?" Gigi Reece kicked away the make-up artist who was giving her a manicure. She shouted into her phone, "If you can't get the invitation, don't bother showing up."

She hung up immediately after that. Even after being kicked away, the make-up artist had to paste a smile on her face. "Ms. Reece, would you like to continue?"

"Obviously! Do you want me to leave like this?"

She gritted her teeth. Edgar Royden really didn't contact her these few days. The calls she made to him were also rejected without exception. Even Miles wasn't picking up her calls.

Gigi Reece had never been treated like this in her life! Even Winnie Campbell, she didn't know what was going on with her. Every time Gigi Reece mentioned Jean Eyer, it was like Winnie Campbell had seen a ghost.

Gigi Reece's chest heaved up and down. She had to do something about this anger. If she couldn't enter that circle as a small celebrity from the entertainment industry, she could do so as a rich wife, right? Thinking about this, she made a call to Farra Emilio.

On the day of the big VK show, Jean Eyer was in charge of the coordination for ten bracelet models. It was just a small part of the opening, and it wasn't easy to make mistakes. She reached early and confirmed each detail again.

"Ms. Eyer, you're so attentive. This bracelet is gorgeous." A model said with surprise.

Jean Eyer not only showcased the bracelet's original style, but also added in her own interpretation of the show. The theme was stars, so the models' outfits were darker.

In such a situation, the bracelets needed to be dazzling enough.

But there wasn't too much light on stage, so the model's wrist had to be matched to video coordination in order to highlight the jewels and gems on the bracelet.

She changed each of their styles slightly according to the models' outfits.

This was something that she discussed beforehand with the fashion designer.

"Thank you, I hope tonight goes well." Jean Eyer settled the last model and was about to clean up when she heard noise outside.

"Oh no, Ms. Eyer. Ariana sprained her leg. She can't attend the show tonight."

Jean Eyer was stunned for a moment. "Is there a replacement?"

"No... We've contacted the modelling agency, but there's difficulty in getting someone to come at the last minute." The staff was extremely anxious. "There's ten minutes to go before we start, and the part with the bracelets is in the first half. What should we do!"

Everyone looked at Jean Eyer.

"Why don't you replace her?"

Jean Eyer wrinkled her brow. The wound on her neck hadn't healed.

"I'll think of something!"

There were many people at the big VK show, and maybe there was someone who could...

But she looked at the invited guests outside and was totally dumbfounded.

That wasn't a circle that any ordinary person could enter. It was an extremely wealthy circle made up of the rich and powerful families of Yorktown. Back then, even those from the Eyer family had to stoop down when walking around a place like this.

What more, the current Jean Eyer.

She had to be utterly overconfident to ask these affluent wives to be a model.

Jean Eyer wasn't afraid of rejection but she was running out of time!

Her heart was beating faster, and she held on to the barrier. Were her hopes about to be ruined here?

There was suddenly a soft chuckle behind her. "Huh, isn't this Jean Eyer? Why, did MON & Co. send you here to clean up?"

Jean Eyer turned around and saw Gigi Reece standing at the corner of the stairs with a mocking expression on her face.

"Oh, I was passing by backstage, and I heard that a model sprained her leg. Tsk tsk, how unfortunate! Or should I say, your life is unfortunate. You had a narrow escape, and now you're..."

"Shut your mouth. You're dressed like a strutting peacock, do you think you're very pretty?"

Jean Eyer glared at her, then walked around her to the hall.

"Jean Eyer, there's no use. You're bound to humiliate yourself today because you never deserved to be here." Gigi Reece ground her teeth in anger. "If only there wasn't a wound on your neck, you could replace her yourself. Now where are you going to replace someone!"

Jean Eyer's footsteps stopped.

She turned around slowly and looked directly at Gigi Reece's gorgeous face.

"I still remember what happened in the parking lot. I'm not laying a hand on you because of Edgar Royden. Don't think I won't dare to." Jean Eyer raised a finger and pointed to her wound covered by a scarf. "Mess with me again, and you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

At that moment, her gaze was utterly terrifying.

Gigi Reece's body stiffened, and she bit the corner of her lips.

Edgar Royden knew about this?

Even the thick make-up on her face couldn't hide her pale face. In an instant, her haughty manner vanished.

"I heard someone is looking for a model?" A sensual, magnetic voice rang through.

Jean Eyer and Gigi Reece looked over at the same time, slightly confused, trying to get a good look at the face.

Melody Chance blinked. "Did I mishear?"

"No, you didn't!" Jean Eyer rushed over. "Ms. Chance, I sincerely beg you to be my model, please? Anything you require is alright..."

"We're running out of time." Melody Chance pointed to her watch, and her smile deepened.

"Thank you!"

Jean Eyer pulled her inside and kept thanking her along the way.

Melody Chance put on the bracelet herself.

They were running out of time, but the evening gown that Melody Chance was wearing was on theme. Other than Jean Eyer running about, the other models looked straight at her. They actually had the chance to walk down the runway with Melody Chance!

All their eyes were shining with anticipation.

"I thought I was just here to make up the numbers and model a bracelet. I never thought that I could be on the same stage with Ms. Chance."

"She's so much prettier in person than on screen. She's so tall and elegant!"

"Yes, you're right. And she's so fair."

Melody Chance had heard this all too many times. There was no reaction on her face.

Jean Eyer was immersed in modifying the bracelet. There were areas that needed her to be meticulous, so she had to adjust it personally. "Is it tight?" Melody Chance raised her hand to try it out.

"A little."

"Just a moment, let me take a look." There was a little sweat on Jean Eyer's forehead.

At last, just a few moments before the models went out, Melody Chance's bracelet was done. It was a bracelet with diamonds and gems and was very captivating.

On her hand, it really looked like the stars in the sky.

Melody Chance was the last model to come out. Once she appeared, almost the whole audience went wild.

"Melody Chance would never walk in this kind of show. She was actually invited? Who's the designer of this bracelet that's so capable!"

"I think it's Jean Eyer."
