On the other hand, Nathaniel had a serious look on his face that seemed to say she was the one who instigated him to do it, causing whatever-good impression Julia had of her to fly out the window.
Nathaniel grabbed her hand and walked the other way once he was finished speaking.
Julia felt humiliated as she watched the couple leave.
Her son showed her no mercy at all. He just had to reject all the other women because Christina says she doesn’t like it. What a vicious woman she is!
Many wives of wealthy families arrived at the banquet one after another, and most of them had brought their daughters along.
They went to greet Julia upon their arrival, and the women couldn’t help but give her praises when they saw her unique evening gown.
“What an extraordinary dress you have on, Mrs. Hadley. Which designer designed it?” one of the guests asked.
“You look stunning tonight, Mrs. Hadley.”
“That’s right!”
Julia smiled, feeling embarra**ed by their complimenis. The dress was definitely worth its price since so many people had acknowledged it.
Someone walked up to get a closer look at the dress. love embroidery. This designer must be a master designer who has been working for decades, fight?”
Julia had no idea that Ada was so skilled in embroidery that she would be seen as a master designer.
Smiling, she answered, “Ms. Ada was the one who designed my dress. She’s really good at her craft.”
Many knew who Julia was talking about, but they were also aware that Ada rarely accepted commissions and how difficult it was to get an appointment with her.
“You actually managed to get an appointment with M. Ada? It seems like the two of you are quite close. Ms. Ada never shows her face, and that’s something everyone knows.”
“If only we can meet up with her just once,” one of the guests exclaimed.
The other guests shared their sentiments on how it was difficult to meet Ada when a woman’s voice suddenly sounded from the crowd. “I know where Ada is!”
Madison’s voice was like a light lit up in a pitch-black area, attracting everyone’s attention to her.
“Do you know who Ms. Ada is, Madison?” Julia asked, her voice full of doubt.
Madison emerged from the crowd and answered confidently, “Of course. In fact, Ms. Ada is currently

right here with us.”
Whoosh!
What is this? How could the mysterious designer be here at the banquet?

The guests instantly scanned the crowd, trying to find this special someone. Unfortunately, none of them had any idea what Ada looked like, so there was no way they could do that.
Feeling anxious, a few of the wealthy guests urged. “Stop acting so mysterious, Ms. Taggart. Hurry up and tell us who Ms. Ada is. Let us get to know each other, all right?”
They wanted to become acquainted to Ada and have her design their clothes too.
Of course, Madison was silently feeling jealous that Ala was so popular. Her lips curled into a cold. smirk as she kept her eyes on the red figure among the guests.
Without a moment’s hesitation, she walked toward Christina and pulled her to the center of the venue.
“This is Ms. Ada, the one all of you had been looking for. Isn’t that true, Christina?”
Christina was shocked by Madison’s actions. She had been pulled to the center before she could event react and was forced to admit her identity under everyone’s gazes.
Her cheeks burned and flushed red, and she glared at the smug face that was waiting for her to embarra** herself.
Julia was shocked to see Christina at first. Then, a doubtful look took its place on her face. “How can you prove this is Ms. Ada, Madison? From what I know, Christina graduated from a third-rate design academy. She probably doesn’t even know how to embroider.”
Seeing how disgusted and disbelieving Julia was in Christina’s identity made Madison extremely happy.
Yes, that’s it! Don’t become fond of her, and don’t you dare admit you’re Ada!
“That’s enough! Stop fooling around!” Nathaniel emerged from the crowd and stood in front of the woman he loved in a defensive manner.
He looked absolutely captivating in his dark red suit. The air in the room turned cold as he stood. before everyone, looking like a majestic ruler of a land.
Everyone held their breaths, afraid that they would interrupt the air of mysteriousness.
Madison panicked. She was upset to see the menacing look on Nathaniel’s face.
The woman didn’t want to be the bad guy, but she didn’t want Christina to leave a good impression on Julia either.
Frowning, Madison said in an aggrieved tone, “I’m not lying. Come on, Christina. Just admit it. Mrs. Hadley likes your work so much. Why would you hide it from her?”
Her choked-up voice made everyone else think that it was pretentious of Christina to hide her identity.
Why wouldn’t you admit to it if you’re such a famous designer? Did you think it would elevate your status by being
mysterious?
Right then, Madison’s gaze fell on the crowd once again.
Christina felt her heart skip a beat. Madison had set her up again. She watched as Julia’s face turned darker by the second, and a sense of foreboding rose within her.
Admitting her identity was not the solution, nor could she continue to hide the truth.
Nathaniel could feel that Christina’s hand was covered in sweat, and he said quietly, “It’s okay. I’m here.”
He took her hand and turned to leave.
However, a middle-aged woman wearing a white suit stepped forward right then. It was Hannah.
She announced to everyone present, “I am the boss of a studio, and I can prove that Ms. Christina Steele is Ms. Ada. All these years, Ms. Ada had only accepted work after we were done negotiating the prices.”
Now that the boss of a studio had stepped forward, Christina had no choice but to admit she was Ms. Ada.
Julia’s eyes trembled when she heard that. She walked over to Christina and asked furiously, “Are you really Ada?”
At that moment, the latter wanted nothing else but to dig a hole and bury herself in it. Her face. burned, and her hands sweated profusely.
She couldn’t deny the fact any longer in such a situation and finally admitted, “Yes. It’s me, Mrs. Hadley.”
Julia felt her chest ache, and her fingers trembled. Her furious voice rang out. “So you’ve been lying to me all this time?”
The older woman absolutely hated being lied to.
All those who lie to me should go to h*ll!
H
“How dare you fool me, you brat! Do you think you’re all that just because you know how to embroider? Am I a joke to you? What a vicious brat you are!”
She moved closer to Christina, her eyes burning with fury.
The latter stepped backward. Noticing the pool behind Christina, Julia reached out and pushed the younger woman in without any hesitation.
Splash! The defenseless Christina fell right in just like that.
