Chapter 216: Chapter 216

All the models have finished their makeup.

Because the jewelry is too valuable, it is not worn before makeup is done, but only at the very end.

Now is the time to put on the jewelry.

Suddenly, Catherine Chapman realized something was amiss.

Selena Lockwood seems to be missing!

She is responsible for managing all the necklaces’ materials and production, and is one of the more important people.

It’s hard to say whether Faye Sterling is too confident, or too blind.

She didn’t have any precaution or confidence, always believing she would win, completely letting go of these matters.

After looking around and asking some people, Catherine finally accepted this bombshell.

Her face turned pale, and she kept muttering, "It’s over, it’s over! The launch is about to start, what are we going to do?"

Catherine couldn’t even muster the courage to tell Faye.

But given the situation, it had to be said, and Catherine finally bit the bullet and went to find Faye.

"Boss, there’s something I want to tell you." Get full chapters from novel•fire.net

Faye Sterling’s face was somewhat sullen, "Ready or not? If ready, start the launch immediately."

Catherine gritted her teeth and said, "Our jewelry is gone."

"What!" Faye screamed, "What do you mean, gone?"

"Selena Lockwood didn’t come." Catherine looked desperate.

Faye’s eyes turned scarlet as she screamed angrily, "Where did Selena Lockwood go?!"

Everything was ready, models had arrived on site, and now they were telling her Selena Lockwood hadn’t come!

Faye was so angry she wanted to kill someone, and eventually found the person responsible under Selena.

Finally, she received shocking news: their jewelry hadn’t been produced due to a lack of materials!

Everyone was stunned, instantly dumbfounded.

A wave of panic surged in, quite a few employees at Thea’s had also invested their money, hoping to make big bucks this time.

But isn’t it all over now?

Serena Quincy turned pale, her face exceptionally unpleasant; she had thought she could shine at Thea’s Jewelry press conference, but now was going to lose face.

On her way here, she had bragged to people in the industry, saying that after this time, her reputation would soar and she would definitely make it to the top ranks.

Since debut, Serena Quincy had been crafting a persona similar to little Hazel Langley.

For this, she had even gone through cosmetic surgery, just to resemble Hazel Langley more closely.

She had always been striving to surpass Hazel Langley, but kept getting overshadowed each time, hoping this endorsement launch would allow her to publicize through press releases.

But now with this happening, where does that leave her dignity? Plus, she had just learned that her crush, Jasper Faulkner, had gone to Celeste Jewels.

At Thea’s Jewelry, everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Catherine Chapman tried to comfort Faye Sterling, "Boss, don’t panic yet. Maybe Selena Lockwood is just running late, or overslept. I’ll call her right now."

With that, she took out her phone, dialing the number several times, but every call showed it was turned off. What was actually happening was now clear as day.

Faye knocked things off the table, nearly losing her mind in anger.

"Such a significant matter, and not a single person informed me. Are you all just freeloading?"

Only at this time, the internal staff dared to speak up.

"Boss, the suppliers kept stalling and didn’t give us the materials, so the subsequent processes couldn’t proceed. Selena Lockwood told us not to say anything, we..."

Faye violently smashed things, her face dark and angry, "Damn it! This traitor!"

Catherine ran outside to take a look, returned urgently, "Boss, what now? The reporters are here."

Despair washed over Faye’s face.

She forced herself to calm down; it wasn’t the worst outcome yet.

"Wait, I’ll now have them send over a few of my necklaces to fill in. We’ll just have to muddle through this."

Eleanor Sterling’s side might not go smoothly; she couldn’t lose her cool.

Serena Quincy is still here, she can only use her to divert others’ attention.

Finally, at the crucial moment, a servant brought over Faye Sterling’s jewelry.

The staff carefully adorned Serena Quincy.

After scrambling in the end, the press conference proceeded as scheduled without any major issues.
