Luna only found their laughter harsh and stomped her foot in exasperation, "Enough, no more laughter,
who's shameless?"
"Whoever is responding." Linda spoke coldly.
"You ......"
"Enough." Pennie scolded Luna in a stern voice, "Don’t you feel shameless? If you continue to make a
scene like this, don't go to the international competition with me, I will immediately send you back and
choose a new model."
Luna went pale on her face and became speechless.
Pennie then looked at Violet, "Miss Hunt, sorry."
Violet ruffled her hair, "I wonder why you choose Luna as your partner."
Pennie's eyes flickered slightly, and then she replied with a smile, "She's pretty."
"You should go and have your eyes checked." Jessie muttered.
Pennie froze and then smiled again, "Well, Miss Hunt, we have to go pick up our boarding passes, let's
catch up when we get to the competition venue."
"Okay." Violet nodded.
Pennie and Luna walked away.
Linda looked at the two's backs and felt strange, "Pennie’s walking is so stiff."
"Stiff?" Violet and Jessie looked at Pennie's leg.
"Why didn't I see it?" Jessie asked.
Linda had a serious expression, "It's really stiff, it's normal you don’t see it. I'm a model and I have
been trained, so I can tell at a glance that Pennie has a problem with her walking posture, it's very stiff,
especially the bending of her knees is very unnatural."
"Probably she was born that way." replied Jessie.
Linda nodded, "Maybe, it's the first time I've seen that. What's that?"
She looked over to where Pennie had stood before, where a small notebook was placed.
Violet was the closest to the notebook, so she bent down to pick it up, "It should be left by Pennie, let's
return it to her when we get to the competition venue."
"Let's see what's inside first." Jessie said.
Violet was about to refuse.
However the notebook was snatched by Jessie.
Jessie flipped it open and cocked her head, "It is strange."
"What's wrong?" Violet asked, looking at her.
Jessie handed the notebook over, "It's full of clothing designs, but it looks so ordinary and it doesn't
look like it was done by Pennie."
Pennie, like Violet, was regarded as one of the most talented young designers.
Pennie's design, which she had seen before, was as good as Violet's, but the design on the notebook
clearly didn't match Pennie's talent.
"It is true." Linda nodded, "These designs are so ordinary, they're similar to the popular models on the
market, not at all enough for a premium level."
Violet didn't answer, wrinkling her brow as she continued to look through the designs at the back, and
as expected, they were all quite ordinary.
It did not look like Pennie designed them.
What the hell was going on here?
Just as she was thinking about it, the airport announced that it was time to board.
Violet closed the notebook, "Maybe it's from a designer under Pennie."
"Who carries the design of his subordinates? Not me anyway." Jessie muttered.
Linda nodded, "Neither will I."
Violet smiled, "Others will. Jessie, please take care of the company during the months I'm away."
"Don't worry." Jessie patted her chest.
Violet looked to Linda, "Let's go."
Linda nodded and joined her pulling her suitcase towards the ticket gate.
Ten hours later, the plane landed.
Violet got off the plane and as she had just stepped out of the airport, someone arranged by Stanley
came to pick her up.
Stanley had a manor over here that was close to the competition hall, so Violet wouldn't have to stay in
a hotel.
Linda walked into the manor and looked around excitedly like a country bumpkin, "Violet, isn't it
wonderful? This villa is so beautiful."
Violet had to admit that the villa did look good.
"Mr. Murphy is so rich." Linda exclaimed.
Violet smiled, "Then take your time and enjoy it, I'll go and make a call."
"Ok, go ahead." Linda waved her hand.
Violet put down her suitcase and went to the balcony.
By this time it was 8:00 p.m. in the country.
Violet dialed Stanley's number, but it came Arya's voice, "Mommy ......"
The little girl sobbed, as if she had been crying.
Violet asked nervously, "What's wrong, baby?"
"I miss you, Mommy." Arya sniffled and answered in a sweet voice.
Violet first froze, and then smiled, but in her heart, she felt sour, "I miss you too, but I am talking to you
now."
"But you are not around." Arya's eyes grew red.
Violet had an impulse to go back home and hold her daughter in her arms for comfort.
But no, she could only coax her more gently, "Baby, I have to work and you promised me you wouldn't
cry, so why are you still crying?"
"I'm sorry, Mommy." Arya blinked eyes, "I'm just crying because you will not be around for a long time."
Hearing that, Violet felt upset.
Because she had never left two children for months since they were born.
Therefore the little girl was so insecure.
"Baby, don't cry, call me when you miss me, and when daddy is free, he will bring you to me, okay?"
Violet coaxed her daughter.
Arya sobbed, "Okay."
"Good girl." Violet smiled, "Where's brother and daddy?"
"On my side."
"Give the phone to your brother so he can talk to me too, okay?"
Arya nodded and gave the phone to Calvin.
Although Calvin also missed Violet, he wasn't like Arya, who couldn't leave her, so naturally he would
not cry.
Violet was relieved but melancholy.
After all, kids who know were mature made it easy for parents to lose fun of coaxing them.
Calvin talked with Violet for a while before returning the phone to Stanley.
Stanley put the phone to his ear, "How long has it been since you arrived?"
Violet leaned her back on the balcony railing, "I called you as soon as I arrived. How's that, I care about
you, right?"
Stanley laughed out, "Yes."
"Your answer is simple." Violet rolled her eyes.
Stanley was silent for a moment for he replied, "What should I say?"
"Never mind, you are not suitable for those words." Violet laughed.
Stanley changed the subject, "By the way, Ivy has moved out."
"When?" Violet stood up physically.
"In the afternoon, Henry came over to help her move out." Stanley answered.
The corners of Violet's mouth curled up slightly, she said with happiness, "Good, but I don't think Miss
Ellis wants to move out, did you see what she looked like?"
"No, I wasn't there." Stanley shook his head slightly.
"It's a pity." Violet sighed softly.
She wanted him to talk about the look on Ivy's face at that moment, it must have been
wonderful.
Stanley put the phone to his ear, "How long has it been since you arrived?"
Violet leaned her back on the balcony railing, "I called you as soon as | arrived. How's that, | care about
you, right?"
Stanley laughed out, "Yes."
"Your answer is simple." Violet rolled her eyes.
Stanley was silent for a moment for he replied, "What should | say?"
"Never mind, you are not suitable for those words." Violet laughed.
