Chapter 74

Ch. 74 / 281 Apr 07, 2026

Bradley said in a gentle tone, "Lynn, show your work to Natasha tomorrow. She also knows your mother. Back then, the clothes designed by your mother were also very popular with the younger generation. Natasha also learned from her a lot."

When Marilyn heard this, she looked at Bradley in surprise. Because her mother had never said this to her.

However...

Marilyn looked at Bradley and smiled guiltily. "Bradley, I've been too busy lately. I haven't had any new works yet."

"Bradley, who are you talking about? She sounds so mysterious," Natasha asked with a frown.

Upon hearing Bradley's name, Debbie's expression changed.

He was actually the famous real estate tycoon, Bradley! He didn't like to attend the banquet, and very few people had seen him in person. Tonight, however, he had come here.

"Natasha, you will know in the future. However, if you miss Lynn, you will never find a suitable student," Bradley said with a meaningful smile.

Natasha frowned slightly. Her gaze was fixed on Marilyn. Marilyn was a clever girl. Natasha liked her eyes, which were especially bright and seemed to be able to see through people's hearts!

Natasha smiled and said, "The more you say, the more I am interested in the little girl. Ms. Chapman, if you don't mind, I will give you a theme, and you need to give me a design draft. I'll give you three days! You can also give me your design a few months later as long as your work satisfies me."

Upon hearing this, Marilyn nodded. "Thank you for giving me this opportunity. Then I will give it a try." Designing depended entirely on inspiration, and she was not sure if she could do it well.

Although it was a great opportunity, Marilyn didn't want to make a promise too early.

"Alright, I'll go back later and send you a Line message. Come here. Let's add each other on Line!" Natasha looked at Marilyn. Marilyn was graceful and her smile was dazzling. If such a beautiful and intelligent girl could design a work that satisfied her, Natasha would have to accept her as a student.

"Alright!" Marilyn smiled and nodded.

When Malcolm saw this, he quickly made way for Marilyn.

When Debbie saw this, her face turned extremely cold. She asked Velma to take out her mobile phone.

Debbie smiled and said, "Natasha, in that case, you can let Velma and Ms. Chapman compete with each other."

"Sure!" Natasha smiled and nodded.

She only wanted to see good works.

So, she would give Velma a chance.

The three of them added each other on Line. Marilyn looked at the elegant profile picture of Marilyn and smiled slightly. She thought, "Perhaps, it is the right choice to come tonight."

Bradley also smiled when he saw Marilyn's happy smile. "Lynn, I am in Fielddell. If you have any difficulties, you can always go to me for help. Otherwise, your mother will blame me for not taking good care of you."

"Alright! If I encounter any difficulties, I will definitely go to you for help," Marilyn said with a smile.

"Alright! Have fun! If Roland doesn't come to pick you up, I will let someone send you back." Bradley smiled gently. If he took good care of this girl, he also had benefits.

"There's no need. Roland will pick me up." Marilyn smiled.

"Alright!"

Bradley looked at Natasha and said, "Let's go. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's find a quiet place to chat."

"Okay, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I think the last time we met was last year." Natasha took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray and left with Bradley.

When Malcolm heard that Roland was coming to pick Marilyn up, his handsome face instantly darkened, and a cold aura spread around him.

Mrs. Remington, however, glared at Marilyn and mocked, "Ms. Chapman, I haven't expected that you even know the real estate tycoon, Bradley. I really underestimated you. It turns out that you also have a backer!"

Marilyn did not care about her words. She looked at Mrs. Remington and smiled. "Bradley is my mother's friend. Does Mrs. Remington also think he has a problem?"

"Then you may not have a father, right?" Mrs. Remington said mockingly and looked at her contemptuously.

Marilyn's face instantly turned pale. Her clear and beautiful eyes were filled with anger.

Was it not enough to insult her and her mother? Mrs. Remington also wanted to insult her father!

Marilyn clenched her fists tightly, but she still held a decent smile. "Mrs. Remington, I don't have a father, but I heard that Mrs. Remington has always been the most knowledgeable and admirable one among the noble ladies in the upper class. I didn't expect you to say such words."

When Mrs. Remington heard this, she thought, "What a sharp-tongued woman! But I will not let her go."

"I guessed so. You use your appearance to seduce men everywhere. Your mother is naturally just like you. Malcolm, you'd better stay away from this kind of woman."

Malcolm smiled coldly and said, "Mrs. Remington, don't go too far. One day, you will regret what you have said."

After saying that, Malcolm turned around, held Marilyn's hand, and walked to the other side.

Mrs. Remington did not understand Malcolm's words. She frowned and looked at the backs of Malcolm and Marilyn. She became more and more furious.

The light illuminated Velma's angry and twisted face.

She thought, "Malcolm, you will not be able to escape tonight."

She glanced at Yvonne, who was not far away, and Yvonne nodded at her.

She was secretly delighted and said, "Mom, I will go and say hello to Mrs. Lowe!"

"Alright!" Mrs. Remington responded sullenly, feeling that Malcolm's words had some deep meaning.

Julian glanced at Velma and signaled the waiter he had arranged.

The waiter understood and walked towards Velma.

Sergio looked at Julian and smiled strangely. He asked, "Julian, tell me, why is Malcolm so lucky today? He can even eavesdrop on others trying to scheme against him."

Julian smiled evilly.

"He was really lucky. Sometimes, when someone does too many bad things, he or she will also suffer retribution sooner or later.

"Malcolm had been bullied by Mrs. Lowe and her children for many years. It was not easy for him to come out and establish his own company. They still did not let him go. Once there was a chance, they would scheme against him.

"Tonight, let's just wait for a good show!"

"That's true!" Sergio nodded in agreement.

He turned around and looked not far away. His eyes were filled with doubts. When he saw Malcolm and Marilyn standing by the pool and chatting, he frowned slightly. How could Malcolm be interested in a married woman?
