Chapter 516 Error

“The jewelry that the Shaw Family makes is not only about the value of the gem but also about

accentuating the gem’s natural beauty with outstanding designs. Most customers choose Shaw’s

Jewelry Co. for our unique designs. However, when the Saunders Family, the family that made a

fortune in the real estate industry, entered the jewelry business, they despicably altered and improved

the designs of Shaw’s Jewelry Co. before declaring it as theirs. To make matters worse, they sold the

products at 30% lower than the market price. And just like that, Shaw’s Jewelry Co. gradually phased

out.”

The more Tom explained, the more enraged he was. He spat and continued, “Imitation and forgery are

the most loathsome means, but the Saunderses are unashamed by them. Not only that, there was a

time when they even forged a batch of jewelry and released them into the market. Everyone gradually

thought that Shaw’s Jewelry Co. sold counterfeits since most of the items had imitated the company’s

designs. Although the entire jewelry industry was affected, the Shaw Jewelry Co. has never been able

to change people’s perception about us since then.”

Elise patiently listened to his story and thoughtfully nodded. “I see. No wonder you gritted your teeth

when the Saunderses were mentioned.”

“I’m sorry, but I really resent them.” Tom collected himself and exhaled before he reminded her, “The

Saunders Family are despicable and shameless people. This time, we managed to bring back a red

jade, so they won’t just sit back and watch. If they were to pull off the same trick again, I’m afraid that

—”

She understood where he came from but still interrupted with a confident bearing, “What’s there to be

afraid of? We will deal with everything that comes. Since they like to execute shady deeds, I’ll make

sure that the market is as bright as the sun.”

“As bright as the sun? Are you going to restructure the market? I don’t think it’s something that could be

done overnight.” He voiced his reservation about the plan.

“No, no, no.” Elise wagged her index finger from side to side. “I’m not that generous; I’m only

concerned with my own business. This is why I requested you to make a signboard. We have to build

our own brand. Even if the customers are able to buy the same design, it would be a second-class

product that would embarrass them if it isn’t a product of our brand. Plus, don’t forget that we have

Frostine by our side. We will have our own brand as well as good designs—I call this double security.”

The Saunders Family may have their schemes, but I have my own strategies as well. Bring it on!

The gloom within Tom’s eyes disappeared as a flame of hope started to burn inside him. However, he

suddenly felt troubled. “Building our own brand is not a small expense, though.”

“I still hold the same opinion to that notion—problems that can be solved by money aren’t problems.”

Elise advised, “All you have to do is to focus on your task as the company director, manage the

company well, follow my instructions and supervise the progress. You may leave the rest to others.”

“Sure! Miss Sinclair, please be rest assured. Nothing will happen to the Shaw’s Jewelry Co. under my

watch!” Tom adamantly declared. Then, he paused for a moment as his gaze landed on the news on

the small screen. He couldn’t help but add, “The news on the Internet—”

“Just let it be. We should thank her for giving us free advertisement,” she responded, a slight smile on

her lips.

Tom nodded firmly before he rose to his full height to leave the screen.

“Mr. Shaw?” The man disappeared at the moment Elise blinked. “Hello? Although we are now familiar

with each other, isn’t it more polite to at least inform me that you are dropping off the call now that the

meeting has ended?”

As soon as she said that, Tom’s head popped out from a corner of her screen. “Huh? I’m still here, Miss

Sinclair.”

A speechless Elise pouted. She had to admit that a human could sometimes scare a fellow homo

sapien more effectively than a ghost could.

“What are you doing?” she asked in displeasure.

Then, she saw him dragging a log and stopping when he was two meters away from the computer.

Then, he flipped the log to show it to her. “Miss Sinclair, this is the sign that I specifically asked a

designer to make according to your request. It cost a lot of money,” he spoke in a proud tone.

However, when Elise saw the words ‘Lexis’, she wasn’t able to squeeze out a smile.

“Hmmm, the design looks great with an antique feel. I can see that the designer has spent a lot of time

and effort on it. Please redo it.”

Tom was glad to hear her compliments; he couldn’t help but touch the signboard in his hand, pleased

that he had finally done something worth complimenting. However, a few seconds later, he finally

returned to his senses and realized her last three words—’please redo it’.

“What?” He was so shocked that he craned his neck. “Why, though, Miss Sinclair? This is our sixth

design. Both Miss Murray and I find that it looks great.”

Elise narrowed her eyes. “That’s because you had the word wrong! I meant ‘Alexis’ with my boyfriend’s

name in it, not ‘Lexis’!”

“Huh? Oh, haha, I see. Alexis. Lexis. I think I may have mixed them up.” An awkward Tom scratched

his head.

“It’s not ‘may’, it’s ‘must’.” Elise, who was rendered speechless, shook her head and ended the video

call.

She sat behind the desk for a while before she gave Frostine a video call.

Frostine answered the call after 30 seconds. She found a good angle that allowed the upper part of her

body to be exposed on the camera.

She stuttered upon meeting Elise’s gaze; she seemed anxious, as if she didn’t know what she should

say.

“You don’t need to be nervous before me. All I want is to see your designs.” Elise went straight to the

point.

Frostine meekly nodded with pursed lips before she took her first drafts and displayed them before the

camera.

“All in all, you are still Clemence’s handpicked disciple. Your ability is surely outstanding.” Elise

repeatedly nodded.

A hint of sorrow flashed across Frostine’s eyes at the mention of Clemence.

“Don’t think too much; focus on the designs and ask Tom if you need anything. The jewelry exhibition is

just around the corner. I will bring you along if the timing is right. Of course, if you don’t wish to show

your face, you can—”

“No,” Frostine interrupted. “I have to go. I have to let my master see my effort. I believe that if she

knows that I have been following her teachings without slacking off, she will certainly change her mind

and return.”

Elise nodded. “Sure. Everything is possible.”

After some small talks, Elise hung up the call and switched off the computer before exhaling a deep

breath. Frostine really is not in the condition to know about Clemence’s news. I’ll keep it a secret from

her at the moment, at least until she meets Clemence.

Thereafter, she packed her things. When she was about to leave the house, an unknown number

surfaced on the phone. I shouldn’t be able to receive any spam calls since my phone has been

specially modified. I wonder who this is, she thought.

She answered the call and brought the phone to her ear. “Who is on the line?”

“Miss Anderson, we haven’t met for two days. Do you miss me?” Kenneth’s irritating voice was heard

from the other end of the line.

“How did you obtain my number?” Elise subtly asked

He chuckled “I still have this sort of capability.”.

“Stop beating around the bush,” she snapped.

“Miss Anderson, you are getting edgy, but I still adore you no matter how you behave. Truth is, it’s just

a small thing. I need a female date to accompany me for a gathering. I wonder whether you could help

me out with this, Miss Anderson.”
