Chapter 400
Two years later, at RiverCity International Airport.
Stepping out in my flats, dragging my suitcase behind me, | was immediately
engulfed in a massive bear hug from Christine.
“Designer Jane, you finally decided to grace us with your presence?”
“Are you trying to suffocateor what?”
| couldn’t help but laugh. “I missed you, that’s why I'm back.”
Truth be told, Christine would visitin France whenever she had the chance.
Our last meetup was just two weeks ago.
Driving home, she filled the air, “You know, when you first disappeared, Bryant went mad. He couldn't accept
that you were just gone. He nearly turned RiverCity upside down, draining lakes if he had to.”
| smiled faintly. “You've toldthis story a thousand times.”
“Well, it’s still unbelievable to me,” Christine sighed. “But Bryant and Mark kept a tight lid on the situation. Not
many people knew you were gone.”
To the world, | was still Mrs. Ferguson, living a life of luxury by Bryant's side.
Molly returned to the Ford Group shortly after Gregory's incident, fighting tooth. and nail with the bastard son to
protect what belonged to her, Mrs. Ford, and Gregory.
Looking out the car window, | saw the bustling streets of RiverCity, lively as
ever.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRiverCity hadn't changed much.
The RF Group continued to expand, halting its vendetta against the Myers family but strictly forbidding Dorothy
from meddling in business matters, threatening further crackdowns.
In Vista Town, a new force had rapidly emerged, backed by unknown powers, growing into a business legend that
even the RF Group wouldn't dare to provoke lightly.

Chapter 400
And me? | had died and cback to life in these two years.
Noticing my distant look, Christine tried to lighten the mood. “How cyou only have one suitcase? | bet it
can’t fit all your awards and trophies.”
| let out a chuckle, “Yeah, | was too lazy. Just brought the bare essentials and had my aunt ship the rest.”
Christine was curious. “How did Dave let you go this time?”
Dave was a renowned genius designer in the fashion world, a mentor to many including Mark during his studies
in France.
He only tookas his private student.
| grinned. “He said there’s nothing left he could teach me. The rest is up to
1. me.
These past two years, | had focused on honing my design skills, sweeping almost every prestigious award in the
fashion industry.
With Dave as my mentor, | had made a nfor myself in the international fashion scene.
At Janedream, | left the online sales designs to Jeff and his team, focusing only on final approvals.
Janedream had grown into an increasingly popular fashion brand.
The new apartment, purchased last year with Christine's help, was decorated in French style, exactly how |
wanted.
It was
close to Janedream, in a prlocation. The penthouse was serene, with a large terrace.
Entering the apartment, Christine flashed a smile. “So, what do you think? Satisfied?”
“I trust your judgment.”
After a long flight and dealing with jet lag, | collapsed onto the sofa. “This sofa is so comfy.”
“Of course, it is. You're rich now. | wouldn't dare buy you anything but the best.”

Christine teased before her tone turned tentative. “Still no word from
Gregory?”
| shook my head, softly saying, “Nothing.”
Staying in France was a choice driven by the need for a change and the hope of finding Gregory.
