Chapter 74: A Perfect Opportunity
To everyone's astonishment, Jane grabbed the dress and skillfully removed all the buttons from theback using a pair of scissors. People were baffled by her actions. Was she ruining the dress? Whywas she taking off all the buttons? Jane then efficiently repositioned the buttons into a pattern thatrequired one less, and her dexterity left everyone in awe.
Patrick's gaze remained fixed on Jane. He was surprised once again by her capabilities, consideringher rural background. How could she boldly make alterations to such an expensive piece of clothingif she didn't have the skills? After all, the dress was a product of Loe Studio.
In just five minutes, Jane had rearranged the nine buttons, leaving no evidence of her alterations.The dress appeared as though it had been designed that way from the beginning.
"Done," Jane announced, putting away her needle and thread.
Patrick approached her, lowering his voice to speak privately. "You know how to do this too?"
Jane met his gaze with a smile. "Have you forgotten that I came from the countryside? How can Imake a living if I don't learn new skills and improve my old ones?"
Ignoring Patrick, Jane handed the dress to Maria, instructing her to try it on.
Maria took the dress into the fitting room. When she emerged, she looked even more stunning inthe dress than Annie had.
She left, uncaring that Patrick's cold gaze followed her.
Lately, Florence had been growing increasingly annoyed. She had intended to use Annie to dealwith Jane, but Annie had proven to be incompetent. Additionally, she couldn't fathom Jane'sconsistent streak of good luck in turning situations around
Florence was preparing to go shopping with Erica when the butler informed her that someonenamed Miss Betsy was waiting outside.
"Miss Betsy? I don't want to see her," Florence dismissed with a wave of her hand.
"Understood," the butler replied and left.
Once the butler was gone, Florence finalized her plans with Erica to go shopping. She was about toleave when a figure suddenly rushed in front of her car.
Florence was forced to brake abruptly to avoid an accident, nearly being thrown into the windshielcShe stepped out of the car, seething with anger. "Psycho!"
She cursed the reckless individual responsible for this near mishap. It was Monica, the person whohad nearly caused the accident.
"What are you doing?" Florence frowned. "Are you crazy? Why did you jump in front of my car?""Miss Doyle, please help me,” Monica implored, looking somewhat embarrassed. She had beenstruggling to replace a job since her expulsion from Pansy Group and was running out of money. In hetdesperation, she remembered that Florence had once tried to recruit her.
"Help you? We have unsettled matters between us,” Florence responded angrily. "You stabbedPatrick, after all."
“It was an accident! I was aiming for Jane. I didn't expect Patrick to shield her. It's all Jane's fault. If itweren't for her, I wouldn't have been fired. Now I can't replace a job anywhere!"
"As you said yourself," Florence replied, "Jane is the one who put you in this situation. So, why donyou seek revenge against her instead of bothering me?"
"I wanted to,” Monica clenched her fists. "But I can’t get near her, let alone get even with her. Jane ialways either at the company or at Patrick's house.”
"I see," Florence said after a moment of consideration. "I heard that Jane is shooting an ad at LoverLake tomorrow. Many people drown there every year. If something were to happen to Jane, say, anaccident..."
"Yes, an accident!"
Monica's eyes gleamed with sinister intent. Tomorrow seemed like the perfect opportunity.
