Jilted Ex-wife Billionaire Heiress

Chapter 98 Laughingstock

After the initial shock wore off, Felicia was starting to get used to the idea of seeing Darya as a model.

It meant the woman had to work for a living, Felicia thought.

She examined the dress Darya wore and couldn't wait to get her hands on it. 'Where's your boss? I want to talk

to her.'

Bianca pointed to the door. 'You are not allowed to be here. Leave before I ask security to throw you out.'

Felicia ignored Regina's quiet pleading. 'Why should I leave? I'm a client. You and your friend work for the designer. The designer works for paying clients like me. Therefore, I outrank you."

Bianca shook her head, incredulous.

She turned to Darya, 'Does she always talk like that? Like she's the centre of the universe and everyone mustnoveldrama

bow down before her.'

Darya shrugged.

Bianca sighed, 'How you survived three years of living under the same roof as her, I can never imagine."

Darya smiled. 'I mostly just tune her out. It's like white noise.'

"Hey! I'm talking to you!' Felicia tapped a foot, impatient. 'Where's the designer? Get her her

time.'

'And you can stop wasting mine,' Harley pushed the door open and strode in. 'Who are you?'

Stop wasting.

She knew there was trouble as soon as she saw the two women follow Darya and Bianca into the dressing room,

but she had to extricate herself from the horde of reporters first.

Felicia recognised the designer and went straight to the point. 'The moon goddess dress. I'd like to place an

order, but I want to make sure it's one of a kind. I need alterations to be made to the-

'Hold on.' Harley raised a hand to stop her. 'Who allowed you to come backstage? It's restricted access.'

Felicia raised her chin. 'I was invited to the show.'

Harley frowned. 'I don't recall giving out an invitation to you. I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to leave. This area is for employees only.'

Regina spoke up, "The invitation cards are with me. We came together. This is Miss Felicia Cavanaugh. Her brother is Micah Cavanaugh.'

Harley gave her a look of haughty disdain. 'Never heard of the name before.'

'What?' Felicia's eyes widened. 'Have you been living under a rock? My brother owns one of the largest companies in Hagen. He's the president of-

I don't care if he's the president of the entire frigging universe, Harley cut her off.

This is my show. This is my stage. And I'd like you both to leave."

She stared at Regina 7 want the name of the person who gave you the invitations."

Um whe

So I can put his name on a blacklist. He'll be banned from all my future ents. So will the two of you

Regina bit her lower lip.

Though she wasn't there when Harley announced Darya was her business

partner, she could tell the designer

was friends with Micah's ex-wife.

Harley's cold shoulder was deliberate.

Regina looked to Felicia for help.

She knew Felicia would take the insult harder than her.

As expected, Felicia flew into a rage. I'm banned? What kind of bullshit is that?

Do you know who I am? I'm going to call my brother and ask him-

I know you are about to be thrown out on your ass if you keep talking like that,' Harley smirked. There are at least twenty reporters outside. With cameras. Do you think your brother can get here before the reporters?"

Felicia was red in the face. 'Fine! I don't want to buy your stupid dress anyway! I'm telling all my friends about your lousy brand and asking them to boycott it. Your store's going to shut down in a matter of weeks! Just so

you wait?

Harley made a gesture of invitation. 'Be my guest.'

If all of Felicia's friends were like her, Harley didn't want them as her customers anyway.

Regina was eager to leave.

She wanted to go look for Micah.

But Felicia just didn't know when to quit.

If she did, she wouldn't have lost millions of dollars as well as her father's jade

ring at the casino.

She pointed to Darya. 'What about her? How come she gets to stay?

'She's my friend,' Harley said. 'And the star of the show.'

Felicia snorted. 'An amateur designer who hires amateur models. You two are perfect for each other.'

"Who says she's only a model?' Harley grinned. 'She also happens to own one- third of the business."

'What? Felicia shook her head. 'No way.'

'Come on,' Regina grabbed Felicia's hand and whispered. 'Let's just go."

She wanted to get out of here before Felicia could further embarrass herself. Within a matter of months, Micah's younger sister had turned herself into a laughingstock in Hagen-stealing

one retail establishment due to her outrageous behaviour.

Regina wouldn't have touched her with a bargepole if not for Micah.

There were many pros of marrying into the Cavanaugh family, but becoming sisters-in-law with Felicia definitely belonged in the 'cons' column.

Taking another deep sigh, Regina practically dragged Felicia, still fuming, out of the room.

'You didn't let me finish! Felicia shook her fist. 'I was insulted by some two-bit designer who doesn't have enough money to hire a professional model! I've got to tell all my friends about this."

'Or, you could tell your brother,' Regina suggested.

She scanned the packed room for Micah. 'One word from him, the brand will go belly up in days."

'You are right!' Felicia's eyes lit up. 'Let's go find him.'

But it proved to be a challenging task.

The after-party was attended by models, designers, fashion bloggers, socialites

as well as a host of other guests.

None of them was in a hurry to leave, especially when they heard Callan was coming.

Waitstaff in tuxedos glided through the crowd, keeping the guests hydrated with mineral water and cocktails.

Micah had a flute of champagne in one hand but had yet to take a sip.

There was only one thing on his mind.
