Chapter 202 Did Anna Offend Someone?
Instead, Anna was the one who was horribly insulted by netizens.
Having found nothing, Olivia decided to let it go. Since they all wanted to protect her, there was no reason for her to feel upset.
When she arrived at the studio, her employees had already arrived.
They had to catch up on designing, patterning, and production this week because there were still a lot of products that needed to be customized. After all, they had promised to deliver the products as soon as possible on top of making new samples. The thought that they would be sold out just hours after the grand opening had never even crossed their minds. In hindsight, they should have prepared more products.
After Olivia arrived at the studio, she held a meeting and told everyone to increase their speed, but not at the expense of quality.
Olivia herself also worked overtime to design according to their customers’ requirements.
Actually, she had recruited a few talented designers, but their skills were not as good as hers. They had designs in their heads, but they were not skilled enough to deliver on paper and fabric.
Hence, she had to monitor them all the time. The silver lining was that they were smart and got the hang of things quickly.
They often said that the work that passed through her scrutiny seemed to have been given life.
Despite the hectic schedule, the whole studio worked in a harmonious and organized way.
During the noon break, Sophia mentioned to Olivia casually, “Miss Maxwell, that Anna Fashion Studio opposite us was closed down by authorities.”
Only then did Olivia notice this matter. “Looks like it. What went wrong with the inspection?”
Sophia answered, “This morning, I heard a street cleaner say that the fire prevention equipment in the studio did not pass inspection.”
Olivia commented, “Our studio is fine, though. If there is any problematic equipment or wiring, just replace them in time. Also, we have to make sure everything is neat and orderly; any mess would just make us look particularly unprofessional!”
“I got it. Rest assured; everything is new here since we’ve just opened. There won’t be any problem!” Sophia stated.
Olivia nodded but couldn’t help overthinking a little in her heart.
Their fire prevention equipment did not pass inspection? This reason is too vague.
Besides, even if it’s true, it can be rectified easily. Why does the entire studio need to be closed down?
Did Anna offend someone?
…
The next day.
Anna returned to the Maxwell Residence. Although she had changed her clothes and her hair had been neatly combed, her sluggishness was still obvious.
When Amy saw Anna, she initially wanted to scold her, but then she noticed Anna looking rather strange. Hence, she hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Then, she saw the traces of bruising on Anna’s neck. Suddenly, fury coursed through Amy’s veins at the thought of Anna still having the mood to get into bed with someone when the Internet was in an uproar about her. “What did you do last night?”
Anna was really exhausted. When she woke up today, she was still in that god-forsaken place, but the beggars were gone.
She was tormented all night and didn’t sleep at all. At this moment, she could barely keep her eyes open.
“Mom, stop asking questions. Let me sleep for a while!”
Amy frowned. “How are you still in the mood to sleep? Your dad has been looking for you! W-What’s the matter with you? Why are you making trouble on the Internet again? Your poor dad was completely humiliated by your actions! Tell me—why are you behaving worse the older you become?”
Anna didn’t listen to her mother’s scolding and went straight into her room before slamming the door shut. It was an effective way to isolate herself from Amy’s nagging voice.
She collapsed on the bed at once.
As she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with the scenes of her desperate yet futile calls for help last night. There were so many of those long rods and so many disgusting men surrounding her. The dirty hands that lustfully rubbed over her body were too many to count.
Dirty! I feel so dirty. Not only am I dirty, I’m also sleazy!
She got up suddenly and went straight into the bathroom to turn on the shower. Then, she rubbed herself mechanically over and over again until her skin turned red.
Nevertheless, she didn’t even feel the pain.
She used to be the second young lady of the Maxwell Family, the young madam of Gray Group, and a well-known fashion designer. Before Olivia returned to the country, Anna was highly regarded by all.
Why is it that I’ve been reduced to nothing after her return?
