Skipped at the altar, Taken by his uncle Novel

Chapter 241 Chapter 241 Mr. Falls squinted as he saw Oliver walk out. He wasn't very surprised. "Oliver, you're really pulling out all the stops," Mr. Falls said. Mr. Falls didn't believe for a second that Oliver was doing all this just to win Joanne over. Oliver smiled. "Mr. Falls, I didn't expect to see you here again." "Is this coffee house yours? Your grandfather must be freaking out back home," Mr. Falls teased. B 55 youchers Oliver raised his eyebrows, and said with a faint smile,"Not really. This is just the tip of the iceberg of my grandfather's collection." Mr.

Falls felt a little jealous. After all, they were abroad, and these auction treasures were just too far away to snag in time. Besides, the really good stuff probably never even made it to the auction houses. It went straight to the Grant family. "Oh, I really envy your grandfather," Mr. Falls sighed, and he meant it. "I saw you you painting earlier," Mr. Falls remarked. Oliver grinned. "Just having some fun with it." Mr. Falls strolled over, hands clasped behind his back, and leaned in for a closer look. "That's some impressive painting!" He couldn't help but compliment Oliver.

"Well, I never would've guessed you could pull oil painting off," Mr. Falls said. Oliver was obviously very good at it. Oil painting wasn't something one could just pick up. One needed to put in serious work to get it right. Mr. Falls was seriously impressed by Oliver now. No way he got this good overnight, he must've started young. "Not bad!" Mr. Falls said. He was giving props not just for the painting, but for all the effort and discipline Oliver had put in. Oliver gave a relaxed smile. "Thanks for the compliment, Mr. Falls." "Care for some coffee, Mr. Falls?" Oliver offered.

With just a glance from Oliver, the manager hurried off to get the coffee ready himself.Oliver Grant Mr. Falls glanced around and spotted the chess set on the table. "Do you know how to play chess?" he asked. "I know a bit," Oliver replied. They sat down. "How about a round then?" Mr. Falls suggested. 17:01 Thu, Jan 1 MA Chapter 241 With good coffee and gentle music, the two went back and forth over the board, each move met with a counter. Mr. Falls hadn't had this much fun in ages. "Not bad at all!" Mr. Falls said. He thought to himself, 'Yeah, Joanne really knows how to pick a man.

Oliver's got something special "Alright, that's it for today. Next time, I'll come back for another round. Time to head home," Mr. Falls said. Oliver didn't fuss over him, and just walked him to the door and left it at that. "See you soon, Mr. Falls," Oliver said. As the black car drove off, Oliver smiled in satisfaction. 'I bet I racked up at least 80 points with Mr. Falls today,' he thought to himself. Buchers Joanne had no idea Oliver was over there working his own strategy game. She and Sue carefully prepared. Three days later, they caught up with Daniel Shelley again.

The dress was crafted from velvet in deep red, low-key at first glance, but with a mysterious allure that drew others in. The hem was decorated with hand-embroidered golden branches and leaves. Sue pulled together a team of three embroiderers who worked nonstop for three days and nights just to get it done. Every detail looked like nature itself had painted it, so vivid, and almost enchanting. The tiered tulle skirt layered over the velvet, paired with a faux two-piece design, keeping the whole look light and elegant.

When Daniel tried it on and walked out, she looked just like a fairy stepping out from the heart of the forest. Daniel was thrilled. "It's gorgeous. I love it." Joanne styled Daniel's look and smiled. "Add some gold earrings, and they'll really tie in with the golden branches and leaves on the velvet dress." Daniel gave Joanne a gentle hug. "Thank you both. I'm really happy with it." "Looks like my friend was spot on with the recommendation," Daniel added. The other day, Joanne was so thrilled that she totally forgot to ask who had recommended her.

tell me the name of the friend who recommended you?" Joanne asked. Daniel smiled. "Mr. Grant," Joanne froze for a second. 'So it was Oliver, she realized. After Daniel left, Joanne stared at her block list for ages, wondering if she should unblock him. But then she thought, 'He did send some business my way. Maybe it's a little cold to keep him blocked after all that. The moment Joanne unblocked him, he sent over a single period. [.] Chapter 241 [Thanks for introducing Daniel Shelley to us.] She texted.

She stared at the chat window, watching for two minutes straight before he finally sent a reply. [You're welcome.] 53 Ch.65 vouchers Daniel Shelley's red carpet photos blew up online. When everyone started asking which couture house made her dress, she publicly credited Joanne and Sue's studio to the press. Watching Daniel dazzle on the news, Joanne thought to herself, 'Wow, it really feels like we're about to hit the jackpot. As expected, orders started pouring in. It was more than Sue could handle alone, so they hired two design assistants to help out.

Joanne finally had some real results to show for all her hard work, and even the breeze outside felt refreshing. But then, a client showed up at the shop. Back when business was slow, Joanne's second aunt had never missed a chance to snark at her in private. Most of the time, Joanne just let it slide and tried to keep the peace. Her second uncle and third uncle were always nice to her, but her second aunt was always running her mouth and forever on the hunt for a freebie. Joanne just couldn't understand.

Her second uncle wasn't stingy at all, but her second aunt just had this thing for snagging freebies whenever she could. Sure enough, she stormed in with three ladies in tow, acting like raiders on a loot run. "Joanne, my friend Mrs. Hughes's got her eye on this green evening dress," her second Aunt called out. "And this gold one's not bad either. Looks really high-end," another lady,chimed in. "And this one, and that one, and that one too. Just pack up all six for us, will you?" her aunt added. Sue and Joanne exchanged a look. "Thanks for liking these dresses, ladies.

Will that be card or cash?" Joanne asked. Her second aunt's face darkened right away. "Joanne, we're family! Why are you even bringing up money?" she complained. "Mrs. Hughes and the others are my friends, and my friends are your friends too, aren't they? Don't be so petty, or people will think you're cheap," her second aunt insisted. When the shop first opened, Joanne had already gifted her second aunt five dresses, It'd only been two weeks and she was back again. Joanne was done putting up with it. "Aunt, we're a luxury custom brand.

Each piece is handmade, and we never make more than three of any design. These aren't off-the-rack," Joanne said. 17:01 Thu, Jan JMU Chapter 241 "Thanks for liking them, Aunt. I'll bring the bill to your sons tonight," Joanne added. 53 Joanne had invested her own money into the shop and never asked them for a dime. Those five dresses alone would sell for over a million, serious money, not just pocket change. No way was she going to let her aunt mooch off her forever. "You! Joanne, you're being so stingy," her second aunt snapped.

Oliver walked in, arched his eyebrows as he sized up the situation. He sauntered over, one hand in his pocket, glanced at the dresses they were holding, and smirked. "Are you buying these? If not, I'll take them for my mom." Joanne flashed her second aunt a bright smile. "Aunt, are you buying? If not, this gentleman will buy them instead." "Forget it! Joanne, you've really disappointed me!" her aunt snapped. With that, she stormed out with her friends, fuming. Joanne pursed her lips, and glanced at Oliver. After a long pause. she finally said, "Thanks." Oliver grinned.

"I was actually planning to buy them." Joanne looked away. "Alright, I'll give you 20% off." Oliver teased, "Not bad. At least I'm not paying full price this time." Joanne was momentarily at a loss for words. She turned away, her face burning. 'I was just messing with him last time. Why's he still bringing that up?' she thought AD Comment Send gift No Ads admin
