Chapter 383 That’s It?
Jenny’s smile soured just the slightest as doubt crept into her mind. Yes, the Faust Group hadn’t been up
to much lately, so why had Alec been so busy? He didn’t even have time to grab a quick lunch with her.
Something was wrong.
Jenny quickly stopped those thoughts from spreading. She decided to make a trip to the Faust Group
after tonight to finally get an honest answer from Alec.
As Jade ended her speech and applause followed, their shop officially opened. The crowd flocked in,
and Jenny, alongside her staff, tended to the customers.
Their prices raised several gasps and hushed whispers, being on par with several international luxury
brands.

Jenny went up to the woman who had spoken up. “Would you like to hear about what materials we use
for our clothing?”
“No, actually. I just want to know why you’d dare price your items as high as the Shanelle across from
here.”
Obviously, this woman was rich. But still, she didn’t want to waste her money.
“We use the finest silkworm cocoons to spin our threads for our clothing,” Jenny explained with a smile.
“Every piece is woven by hand, too, so the price must be equivalent to the craftsmanship.” The woman
sneered, “That’s it?”
“La Vie Jen Rose Designs mains in haute couture. Our country should have its own luxury brand, too,
no?” Jenny wasn’t upset. She had prepared for this sort of confrontation.
The woman continued sternly, “You think you can just make haute couture as you like? Do you have the
centuries of blood, sweat, and tears the other brands have put in?”
“Is our culture’s five millennia worth of hard work and perseverance enough?” Jenny continued to smile.
All her designs were based on traditional techniques and inspiration, no less high-end than all the foreign
brands.
“Hmph!” The woman was at a loss for words and turned away to continue shopping.
Those who could afford to walk into the shop today had enough excess to spend on what caught their
eye, so money was not an issue. That’s why La Vie Jen Rose Designs soon got its first purchase-two
silken robes, light and airy.
Just as Jenny thought things were going swell, someone said, “Hey, your items look similar to the ones
from that other shop that opened the other day.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yeah, I thought so too,” another responded.
The woman who had purchased the robes stopped and grumbled upon hearing that. “What’s the
meaning of this? You better give me a good explanation, or I’m not wearing this.”
Jenny and Jade went up to them. “Which shop are you referring to, miss?”
“The one opposite yours. Dream Vonne Designs.”
Dream Vonne? Wasn’t that La Vie Jen Rose Designs’ previous name?
Was Yvonne up to something?
Just then, Yvonne walked into the store, sneering as she glanced at the available clothing. “I can’t
believe you’d mimic my designs, Ms. Walter. Here I thought you were capable enough to make your own.
Give me a proper explanation, or I’m afraid I’ll have to take this matter to court.”
