Chapter 36
When Stephanie put on her gown yesterday, she thought it was a little loose, but she did not delve further.
After all, Style Jazz Couture would not make any flawed pieces, and a famous styling studio like this one would not make such an amateur mistake either.
While having dessert with Julianna on the couch, Stephanie noticed something wrong.
Later, when they led Lucianna into the lounge, Stephanie’s gown nearly fell apart. Luckily, she managed to pin it together with a silver needle.
Later, Vincent said that the gown was ruined when the housekeeper changed her clothes.
However, she did not find the silver needle. The housekeeper could have picked it up, so Stephanie had not probed. After all, she was too drunk and felt a
little embarrassed.
Stephanie’s arrival to get an explanation made the guilty Coco deny it, saying, “My styling studio won’t make such mistakes.”
Stephanie raised her eyebrows as she asked, “So you mean it’s the brand’s fault? Do you know who is the person in charge of designing this gown?”
Coco said, “Is it Star?”
“It’s Ms. Saunders from Starlight Design Studio. Therefore, you were saying Ms. Saunders made a s t u d mistake,” Stephanie replied.
Coco looked embarrassed and stammered, “II…
Olivia interjected, “Nothing happened at the birthday party last night, and you got through a daunting experience without mishap. Stephanie, why not drop this matter? From now on, you can have Coco style you for free whenever you come to the styling studio.”
Stephanie raised her eyebrows
Olivia was adamant about not recognizing Stephanie as a family member previously. However, she changed how she addressed Stephanie, obviously cottoning up to the latter and wanting her to leave the matter unresolved.
However, Coco had made a big mistake. If Coco had honestly admitted her fault directly, Stephanie would have forgiven her once her mood recovered
Ultimately, Coco blamed it on Julianna. Stephanie would not permit that to happen because Julianna was her best friend.
Moreover, if a brand were rumored to have made a mistake, that would be a matter of their professional conduct. It would have a bad impact on the brand in the future.
Stephanie flashed a half smile and asked, “Dol seem poor?”
Olivia’s mouth twitched. She said, “What? Stephanie
Stephanie raised her hand to stop Olivia from continuing. She slowly stood up and said, “Any tailor could see this is a man-made mistake. It’s Irresponsible for Coco to shift the responsibility to the brand. On behalf of Style Jazz Couture, I’ll cancel the cooperation with Coco Styling Studio. I’ll make a statement on the official website later.”
Coco clenched her fists as she said, “Although you are a designer at Starlight Design Studio, you have no right to cancel the cooperation with my studio on behalf of the brand!”
Stephanie shrugged, replying, “That’s none of your business. Your s

Stephanie nodded, saying, “Let’s wait and see. Also, you and I weren’t enemies. Why did you set me up? Or who did you do it for?””
Coco gritted her teeth and said, “It was just an accident.”
Olivia managed her expression well and did not expose anything, as expected of the best actress.
Stephanie smiled faintly and replied, “Fine. How obstinate. Let’s see your end.”
Olivia pursed her lips and said, “Stephanie, Uncle Vincent should be very busy lately. It’s not good to disturb him because of such a trifle matter.”
Stephanie understood what she meant, so she answered, “Do you think I’ll use Vincent’s authority to make trouble for her? For such a trifle matter, don’t have to bother Vincent with it
Then, she turned around and left the styling studio.
Coco rushed over to say something but was stopped by Willow. Willow warried, “Do you want to fight? I can beat you up with one finger!”
Even though she was startled by the coldness in Willow’s eyes, Coco wanted to retort stubbornly. However, she was stopped by Olivia.
Willow turned around and left after snorting
Coco frowned. She asked, “Why should I be afraid of her?”
Olivia answered, “She is Joseph’s younger sister and has a black belt in kickboxing.”
Coco was speechless.
After leaving the styling studio, Stephanie and Willow went back to the design studio. Stephanie expressed her opinion to Julianna.
They happened to hold the same views and immediately announced the termination of cooperation with Coco Styling Studio on their official website. The reason and a photo of the gown’s zipper were also included in the post.
Coco Styling Studio became trending from this action. Within an hour, several big brands also made official announcements to cancel their cooperation with Coco Styling Studio.
The experts knew at a glance that the zipper was tampered with by someone with malicious intent. Since Style Jazz Couture’s reputation was smeared, they were afraid it would happen to themselves in the future. Therefore, they all terminated their contract with Coco Styling Studio.
In an instant, Coco Styling Studio became the target of cyberbullying.
Many netizens and even celebrities stood out and divulged the unfair treatment they received in this styling studio, saying that the shop manager and even the staff gave different treatment to people of various classes even though they were all clients.
Julianna sipped on her coffee and checked her wristwatch before saying, “In less than a day, all the brands that have cooperated with Coco Styling Studio terminated their contracts. It’ll close down soon enough,”
Stephanie raised her eyebrows. “Coco put herself in danger to vent Olivia’s anger, but Olivia might have blocked Coco’s phone number to cut ties with her,” she commented.
That was true. Coco wanted Olivia’s help to mediate with other brands, but she couldn’t reach Olivia.
Coco stared at the styling studio she built with painstaking effort. In one day, the styling studio had become a mere skeleton. Coco felt very reluctant.
To her, it was all Stephanie’s fault for being merciless.

Coco vowed never to let Stephanie off the h**k.
At 4 p.m., Vincent called Stephanie. He asked, “Are you at the design studio?”
“Yes,” Stephanie answered.
Vincent said, “Let Willow leave first. I’m almost there.”
She replied, “Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Stephanie called Willow and told her to leave, Willow hesitated and asked, “Won’t Coco find someone to take revenge on you? She doesn’t seem like a good person.”
“It’s fine. Vincent will fetch me,” Stephanie assured.
Willow reminded, “Okay. Call me if you need anything”
Julianna mocked. “Vincent this and that. Oh, Vincent, you’re so naughty.” She made a pretentious gesture at the end of her words.
Stephanie nearly spat out the coffee in her mouth. “That’s enough!” she scolded.
“Have you kissed Vincent?” Julianna asked curiously
Stephanie wiggled her eyebrows.
Julianna’s eyes widened. She asked, “Is he really sexually impotent?”
“I’ve never tested him,” Stephanie answered, blinking.
Julianna snapped, “Then do so!”
Stephanie cleared her throat and said, “Well, I’ll leave now. Vincent is coming!”
Julianna narrowed her eyes. She said, “Stephie, you’re keeping something from me.”
Stephanie bid her goodbye hastily and ran out of the office.
When she walked out of the design studio, she saw a black Maybachy parked on the side of the road. Zane had already opened the back door and was
waiting for her.
She ran over happily.
Just then, a man wearing a cap and a mask rushed out from behind a big tree with a bottle of liquid in hand.
