The incident at the Fashion Week garnered considerable media attention. Given that it was

a prestigious worldwide event, the International Federation had to intervene and

investigate the matter. The organization was efficient and was able to learn the ins and

outs of the episode within a day. After cross checking against the recording evidence

provided by Leah, they were certain that Becky was the main culprit. As punishment, she

was informed that her Fashion Week competition results would be canceled and that she

would be barred from participating in any fashion competition for the next ten years. It

was a career-ending move as she could not partake in any events relating to fashion.

This incident has had a far-reaching impact; not only did Becky become infamous, but it

had also boosted Leah’s popularity. Everyone on social media was expressing their

admiration for the latter.

“Is this Cindy, the famous and mysterious designer? She’s so beautiful and elegant.”

“Of course! She’s Mr. Crawford’s granddaughter after all. She comes from a prestigious

family.”

“And she also has a sense of justice. If it’s not for her, Emma would have been wronged by

Becky.”

“Cindy is extremely beautiful and powerful. I adore her so much!”

“Are you aware that she’s about to release a new set of jewelry? After hearing the news,

many prominent ladies approached her to pre-order.”

“If only I could be her, my life would be wonderful.”

Leah, who was envied by all, was currently nestled on the sofa. She sighed dejectedly as

she held her version of the design draft that had been changed dozens of times.

Serena walked over with a cup of coffee in her hand and sat herself opposite Leah. “Why

are you still amending it, Leah? This set of designs is awesome! The public is getting

anxious and frustrated at the long wait. When do you intend to unveil your new designs?”

Leah sighed and muttered, “I don’t think it’s good enough.”

Serena rolled her eyes and scoffed, “Stop nit-picking! I’m going to go crazy from their

incessant questioning if you refuse to unveil it soon.”

“I’m sorry,” Leah replied half-heartedly.

Serena decided not to harp on the matter any longer. Instead, she shifted the conversation

to another subject. “I’m still interested in the volunteer teaching opportunity that your

fiancée mentioned previously. How’s it going?”

“Why would a person born to a privileged background like you be interested in volunteer

teaching?” Leah asked causally.

Serena shook her head and explained, “I have always read about such opportunities in the

newspaper. I wish to experience it for myself. Moreover, my dad is constantly nagging me

to return home and marry. I refuse to return, so I need to keep myself occupied.”

Leah nodded her head in agreement. She knew that Serena was a mixed-blood and her

father was a real estate tycoon from Melville. Although the Colemans were a wealthy

family, they were lacking in power. As a result, Serena’s father planned for her to marry a

politician’s son. The two families were favorable to the marriage, but Serena refused as

she had someone else in mind. In addition, she was not one to give up her desires to

please her father.

Suddenly, a phone call from Ian cut into the duo’s conversation.

“Sarah, I’ll come over to get you guys later for a meal with Sunny. There will also be other

volunteer teachers present too,” Ian informed.

Leah replied, “All right.” After hanging up the call, she said to Serena, “What a

coincidence! Ian called to ask us to join them for a meal tonight.”

“I shall get dressed up then!” Serena said excitedly.

Leah rested her chin on her palm and said helplessly, “Please restrain a little. Unlike you,

those people are conservative.” After Leah’s repeated persuasion, Serena reluctantly gave

up wearing her sexy top and hot pants in favor of a figure-hugging dress.

The evening soon arrived and the vehicle pulled up outside the restaurant. Leah was

wearing a shoulder-baring top and a black wide-leg pants. Coupled with her stiletto heels,

she looked elegant yet classy. Many patrons could not help but to steal a glance the

moment the ladies entered the restaurant. Ian hurriedly ushered Leah and Serena to their

seats, where Sunny and the other volunteer teachers were already seated.

“I’m sorry for being late. The traffic was bad.” Ian smiled apologetically.

Sunny and the five volunteer teachers seated at the table turned their attention to the

newly arrived guests. The division between the two groups was obvious. The two female

volunteer teachers wore light makeup and dressed simply, while the three male teachers

had a down-to-earth demeanor. Leah and Serena’s appearance made Sunny and the gang

felt uneasy. They hastily stood up and waved their hands. “It’s all right. We just arrived.”

The waiter served the food after noticing that all of the guests had arrived. It was a four-

star restaurant that specialized in spicy numbing food. When Ian took Leah to the

restaurant previously, she thoroughly enjoyed the food. Most of the volunteer teachers,

however, were nervous because it was their first time visiting such a high-end restaurant.

“It has been two years since we last met, Ms. White. You were already so awesome

previously. I was a little surprised to learn that you are Cindy when I saw the news report.”

Sunny shifted his glasses and grinned at Leah.

The woman shook her head and replied abashedly, “I was just lucky.”

“It’s a strength to have luck on your side.” One of the male volunteer teachers

interrupted. “I was thinking about how envious I was of you yesterday. Little did I know

that we will meet in person today. Hello, Ms. Cindy. I’m Bryan Foster, a Doctoral Candidate

from Hudson University. I’m participating in this round of volunteer teaching.”

“Hi everyone, I’m Sarah White,” Leah said politely.

“Sarah White? You belong to the White family? Two years ago, they…” One of the female

volunteers frowned and asked.

Sunny quickly interjected, “It’s been so long, let’s not talk about it.”

The woman bit her lip and tried to control her anger as she was annoyed by Sunny’s

interruption. However, she noticed that Leah looked a little forlorn at the mention of the

White family’s incident.

After a round of introduction, Sunny and the rest of the volunteers started sharing about

their past expedition trips. Serena was amazed by their experiences and fielded many

questions.

“Are you interested in joining us?” Bryan smiled and asked Serena. The woman nodded

enthusiastically and replied, “Yes, I’m coming with her!”

“Well…” Sunny turned to Ian and asked after a moment of hesitation, “What about you

Ian? Are you coming along?”

Everyone’s attention was focused on Ian as they waited for his reply.
