Chapter 69
“Mr. Bamford?” Erica's eyes widened in disbelief.
Angela was also a little confused. Nevertheless, she couldn't care less about Dexter's sudden change in attitude.
“300 thousand dollars. Not a penny less.” Angela crossed her arms. A hint of mockery flashed across her gaze as
she looked at Erica.
300 thousand dollars wasn't nearly enough to compensate for the humiliation Erica had caused her in the past,
but it was enough to vent her anger.
"Mr. Bamford, | don't have that much money on hand right now..." Erica gritted her teeth in frustration. Under the
pressure from Dexter, she could only suppress her anger and shoot Angela a sharp glare.
"I'll have my sister bring the money,” Erica added, drawing out each word.
Luckily for her, Elena was just around the corner. She arrived at Villa Heights within 20 minutes.
After hearing about the situation, Elena was slightly taken aback.
"Ms. Graham, you claim that this crystal vase is worth 300 thousand dollars, but do you have any proof?" Angela
had fully expected this question. She calmly opened her laptop and pulled out a document.
The document was a detailed list of all the items in the villa, including the antiques, their origin, and their prices.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"My apologies. | seemed to have made a mistake, Ms. Carrey. The vase is actually worth 380 thousand dollars,”
Angela said, raising her chin slightly. A smirk appeared on her face.
Elena's expression instantly darkened. She turned to look at Dexter instinctively. "Dexter, what..."
She had a sweet and innocent charm about her. Her long black hair flowed down her back, perfectly framing her
delicate features. She often wore minimal makeup, letting her natural beauty shine through. Meanwhile, her
pastel-colored wardrobe further added an elegant touch to her appearance.
She exuded a gentle, almost fragile demeanor just by standing there. It was as if her mere presence invited
protection and care, making others hesitate to raise their voice, even if she had made a mistake.
Angela carefully studied Elena and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

She thought to herself that it would probably take her an entire lifetto master that delicate, innocent act.
Nevertheless, she had no intention of learning.
She refused to live by the idea of depending on men, constantly trying to win their approval, or dedicating her
entire life to them. To her, that was weak and degrading.
Dexter picked up on Elena's silent plea for help. He hesitated briefly.
To everyone's surprise, he didn't give in this time.
Instead, he said calmly, "She made it clear-300 thousand dollars, not a penny less."
Elena's face drained of color, and she seemed to have collapsed inwardly.
Before she could respond, Dexter added, “Bamford Co. will be inviting several renowned designers for our
industry training event next week. You can bring your company's designers along. Perhaps they might also want
to prepare for it beforehand."
Elena was taken aback. Nevertheless, the disappointment in her eyes vanished instantly.
Bamford Co. was a large, diversified conglomerate with many well-known subsidiaries. Nevertheless, it was most
famous for the luxury brands it carried.
Every year, the company would organize an industry training event and invite top designers from around the
world to share their expertise. Only a few talented individuals were selected to attend this prestigious event.
Simply adding participation in the event on one's résumé could be a game-changer for anyone looking to break
into the design industry.
Elena's company, which had been established with the help of her family, had only recently gained public
attention. It was merely a small design firm with little recognition.
Therefore, she knew that participation in this event would definitely raise her profile. This was an incredible
opportunity that was far more valuable than 300 thousand dollars.
With a bright smile, she quickly pulled out her phone and transferred the 300 thousand dollars to Angela. "Got
it.” Angela nodded briefly. With that, she was eager to send the two unwelcomed guest on their way. After Erica
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand Elena left, Angela began to ponder on something else.
If she could get the designers in her team to attend Bamford Co.'s industry training event, they could potentially
secure more business.
Without realizing it, her expression softened.

"What's wrong?" Dexter asked, thinking that she was upset.
Just as he was about to explain himself, a bright smile appeared on her face. He had never seen her smile like
that before. It seemed like a smile she put on whenever she needed to ask someone for a favor.
