Anastasia could’ve had the chance to further her studies in college and eam her degree. Even if she might not have been top of the class, at least she wouldn’t have been stuck with just a high school diploma, facing constant rejection at job interviews novelbin

The things Selena did back then hurt Anastasia How could she possibly let her off the hook so easily? Not everyone deserved forgiveness. Sometimes, being too kind and soft hearted could turn into a weapon others could use to hurt you

Selena couldn’t believe it. The onginal creator she had plagiarized from was standing right before her eyes

After she did it, she was restless for a long time and always felt guilty She was afraid of getting caught and scared that someone

would find out

Years went by, and Selena gradually forgot about it. But fate brought Anastasia back into her life when she started working at her company They met again.

Everyone in the design department was shocked. They used to look down on Anastasia for only having a high school diploma. Little did they know it was all Selena’s fault.

People couldn’t stop talking.

“How could she do that? She basically ruined Anastasia’s life.”

“It’s so hard to get into college. Plagiarism is a stain on a designer’s career.”

“If Anastasia had been able to continue her studies, shed probably be a renowned designer by now!

“Ms. Jewell is really talented in jewelry design. I loved the designs she presented. Cant wait to see the actual pieces.”

“God bless, talented people like Ms. Jewell are destined for good things”

“Selena is such a menace.”

“She’s finally getting what she deserves.”

Hearing the whispers around her, Selena turned even paler. This was without a doubt her most embarrassing moment. She wished she could just crawl into a hole.

Lauren, knowing that Selena was the reason Anastasia couldn’t finish her studies, was furious. “Selena, I cant believe you’ve been plagiarizing since then. As a jewelry designer, aren’t you ashamed?”

Selena felt a chill run through her. She blamed it all on Anastasia. She glared at Anastasia. “We’ll meet again.” No matter who was backing Anastasia, she swore to get back at her for the humiliation she suffered today. After saying her piece. Selena packed her things

and left.

Within minutes, news of Selena’s resignation spread throughout the company. Even her assistant, May, was fired due to misconduct.

Anastasia finally had her revenge and didn’t regret her decision. She wouldn’t hurt anyone without a reason, but if someone hurt her, she could let it go once but not over and over again.

After work, Lauren dragged Anastasia to a high-end boutique to pick out a dress and get her makeup done.

Anastasia took one look at the dress Lauren picked out for her and quickly waved it off. “It’s too fancy. What if I ruin it? And it’s too revealing. I’d rather just wear the dress I have on.”

Lauren had picked out a stunning deep blue starry dress, which any woman would fall for at first sight.

Lauren said, “You’re so beautiful and have such a great figure. What are you afraid of? If I had your looks and figure, I’d flaunt it without a second thought

Anastasia laughed. To not that bold. If my husband found out, he’d be jealous. I think the dress I have on is fine. I’m just there to look around. It wouldn’t be appropriate if I dressed too fancy.”

“Well, if the CEO of Elysian Technologies took a liking to you, that would be troublesome. You’re a married woman.” Lauren joked. “If you weren’t married, I would’ve introduced you to my dream guy. If I can’t have him, at least you could. Then I could admire you two every day.”

Anastasia laughed. “What kind of logic is that? You’d give me your man?”

“If it was a guy I was already dating, I wouldn’t. But my dream guy is hard to get. He’s not really my man’. We all have the right to pursue love,” Lauren casually said. “I’m actually just attracted to his looks and his body. I want to see if he really has abs.”

Hearing the word “abs”, Anastasia couldn’t help but think of Herman’s physique and her ears turned red.

Lauren asked curiously, “Anastasia, does your husband have abs?”
