Skipped at the altar, Taken by his uncle Novel

Chapter 240 Chapter 240 THA When Joanne got home, she saw her grandfather's face was stormy. St Ductle "Well, I really misjudged that old man. His grandson is a total mess, a playboy! Joanne, don't worry. There's no way I'll ever let you marry someone like that!" "Block his number right now! And don't ever talk to him again." Joanne was speechless. "Grandpa, calm down. He was just a blind date. We only had two meals together, nothing serious," Joanne said. "Grandpa, I didn't like him anyway, so it's not like I lost anything.

You don't have to go so hard on him." Joanne felt kind of bad for Elton. She was the one who had changed her mind first. Now he was getting roasted by his own folks and her grandpa, so she figured she'd defend him a little. But her grandpa took her words seriously. He pulled her father aside, looking anxious. "Did I mess up by making her go on the blind date? Joanne's only met that Walker boy a few times, and she's already defending him." Her dad let out a sigh. "Doesn't matter if she stands up for him.

That Walker boy just isn't someone she should count on." Her grandpa felt guilty and started thinking about how he could make it up to her After comparing the two, he suddenly found himself warming up to Oliver a lot more. 'Oliver's a generous young man,' he thought to himself. ***** Joanne finally had some peace and quiet for a while, and her shop's grand opening was set for the end of the month. During this stretch, there was no sign of Oliver or Elton. She was so swamped that she barely remembered those two were even a thing.

Joanne got to know some ladies from the high society circle at the last party, and her mom spread the word about her on social media. Even her usually quiet brother Jason put in a good word with his friends. So when Joanne's new shop opened, the place was absolutely buzzing. They only put out three of each style, all handcrafted and custom pieces. By midday, half the stock was already gone. "Joanne, you're amazing!" one of the ladies exclaimed. Joanne smiled and said, "Oh, it's not really me. I think everyone showed up today out of respect for my family.

Who knows, maybe business won't always be this booming." Oliver showed up too. Joanne barely glanced his way and just waved a staff member over to receive him. Oliver didn't know much about women's fashion, so he grabbed a few pieces that looked more sophisticated, figuring they might be good for his mom. M 3153 Chapter 240 65 vouchers Joanne's business partner thought Oliver was a friend of hers and was about to give him the 20% grand opening discount, but Joanne stopped her right away. "Full price. He doesn't get a discount," Joanne said flatly. Both of them froze for a second. "Oh, okay.

Sorry, sir, my mistake about the discount," her partner stammered. Oliver gave a wry smile. He knew this was just Joanne being herself, so he didn't hesitate and paid up. It wasn't until he'd paid that Joanne finally gave him a faint smile and said her first words to him all day. "Thank you for your purchase. Hope to see you again." Meanwhile, Elton just stayed in his car, not going inside. It really wasn't the right time for him to show up. The Falls family were seriously not fans of him right now. "Out so soon? Didn't even try to chat her up?" Elton asked, raising his eyebrows.

Oliver lit a cigarette, gazing at Joanne through the shop window from across the street. "Do you really think she looks like she wants to talk to me?" he said quietly. Elton smirked. "Man, you're hopeless. You've been hanging around here for two months and still nothing to show for it." 'Even my own reputation's taken a hit because of this, Elton thought, feeling a bit bitter. "What a pain!' he grumbled to himself. Oliver smirked. "It's fine. I've got all the time in the world.". "Come on, I'm starving. Let's go grab something to eat," he said.

At five in the afternoon, Joanne was getting ready to close up shop. As she was tidying up the flowers, she noticed one from Oliver. It came with a card. [To my love.] She let out a snort, pulled out the card, and tossed it aside. After the big opening day, things slowed down a lot. Since the second day and for the next couple of weeks, the shop was pretty much dead. Most of the high-society ladies, even if the clothes were amazing quality, would still rather go for designer labels. They'd shell out even more for stuff that didn't even look that good.

What they were really buying was just the prestige of the brand. "Joanne, what are we going to do? Are my designs just not good enough?" her business partner asked, her voice full of worry. Her business partner was really starting to doubt herself. "No, it's not that. Maybe we just need to wait for a good break," Joanne said gently, trying to reassure her partner. 17:00 Thu, Jan 1 MA Chapter 240 When a blonde woman with blue eyes walked in. Joanne's eyes lit up. "Hi, wait, are you... Daniel Shelley?" Joanne gasped, completely floored. She couldn't believe her eyes.

'Holy crap, is that Daniel Shelley, the international movie star?' Joanne thought, her mind still reeling. 53 55 vouchers "Hey, that's me. A friend recommended your custom pieces, and I've got a red carpet event next week. Could you design something special for me?" Daniel said, flashing a warm, star-quality smile. Joanne gave her partner Sue a quick pat on the shoulder. "Sue, get ready, we've got work to do!" Joanne was screaming for a whole minute in her heart before she finally managed to chill out.

She asked Daniel detailed questions about the nature of the red carpet event, the style she was hoping for, and even looked up her previous red carpet looks to get a sense of her preferences. Sue carefully took her measurements. "How about something bright and playful? Does that sound good to you?" Joanne asked, glancing up from her sketchbook. Daniel flashed an easy smile. "Go wild. I'm good with anything. I totally trust you guys." Even after Daniel left, they both still felt like they were dreaming. "Joanne, pinch me, will you?" Sue said, her voice trembling with excitement.

Joanne reached over and pinched her arm. "Does that hurt?" Sue nodded hard. "It really does!" "Good, that means we're not dreaming!" Joanne said, grinning from ear to ear. The two girls suddenly started squealing and hugging, spinning each other around in excitement. "Alright, Sue, these next few days are going to be tough on you. Do you think you can have the design ready by tomorrow night?" Joanne asked, her eyes sparkling. Sue gave a wry smile. "That's a bit of a rush. I can have the sample ready by the night after tomorrow!" "Awesome! The night after tomorrow, then.

Sorry for making you work so hard!" Joanne grinned. Joanne's heart skipped a beat. If Daniel Shelley really wore their AZAEI design on the red carpet, this could be their big break. "Mr. Falls, I heard there's a new coffee house in town. It's got a real vintage vibe, and the coffee they serve are supposed to be rare and premium," the butler said. Mr. Falls, always a coffee enthusiast, raised his eyebrows. "Oh, really? Maybe I should give it a try one of these days. "Nothing going on this afternoon, so why not go take a look?" he said, not missing a beat.

He was all action, no hesitation at all. Mr. Falls took a stroll around the first floor, but honestly, he thought the hype was way overblown. 'Rare and premium? Please. These are just basic coffees you can find anywhere back home,' he scoffed to himself. Jan Mau 43053 Chapter 240 The manager noticed Mr. Falls wasn't impressed and offered, "Sir, would you like to take a look upstairs? The second floor is usually reserved for VIP guests, but today I can give you a special tour." Once Mr. Falls stepped onto the second floor, he realized he'd jumped to conclusions too soon.

There was a lounge for meetings, a Go room, and a well-equipped painting area. The whole space radiated a refined, antique charm. On the shelves, rows of rare collectibles, each piece valued in the millions. Mr. Falls couldn't help but think, The owner of this place must be crazy. "Let me meet your boss. I want to see who's running this place," Mr. Falls said, suddenly interested. When a man stepped out from behind the door, Mr. Falls squinted in recognition. "Well, look who it is." Mini Theater Oliver begged, "Come on, Grandpa, lend me a few more of your treasures!

I'm trying to woo my future wife." His Grandpa said, "You little brat, stop hauling off my collection! These are my life's work. Maybe you're better off single. Your future wife is bleeding me dry!" B AD Comment Send gift No Ads hu, Jan admin
