Contracted Bride Is Trapped By Her Husband - Chapter 124

Chapter 124 Nice Words Lie

Carina was still generous with her praise. After all, praise cost nothing.

She could tell Emily whatever she wanted to hear.

Seeing that Emily really believed her, and that she was so excited that her face was red and her eyes were sparkling, Carina thought to herself, “You idiot.”

If it wasn’t for the fact that she wanted to get information about Jocelyn from her, Carina wouldn’t have praised her like that.

Talent? Ability? What did such a thing have to do with Emily? If she really was talented and able, why would Anna make her serve clients with Jocelyn?

Talent was a fortune that every boss had to grasp. No one was stupid enough to throw away the gold that they had earned.

Unfortunately, Emily did not understand this logic.

Carina looked at Emily and smiled charmingly.

“However, although I believe in your talent and ability, you know, competitions are always manipulated by capitalists.”

“There were already beginners who lost their chances because they didn’t have capitalists to protect them. They didn’t even make it to the preliminary round.”

“So for your own sake, I think you need to get Jocelyn to help you.” Carina first said nice things to Eliza to make her believe that she could stand out in the designer competition. Then, she voiced out her worries and created a panic for Emily.

As expected, Emily looked panicked and at a loss.

“But what’s the point of me asking Jocelyn for help? She’s just an intern.”

Emily had started to think along the lines of what Carina had said. Before she knew it, she was talking about Jocelyn with Carina.

There was an imperceptible smile and smugness in Carina’s eyes.

As long as Carina wanted to, she could know anything she wanted to know. This was her talent..

Carina couldn’t help but puff up her chest, making her look radiant like a warrior waiting to wear a medal.

“That’s right, Jocelyn is just an intern, but have you forgotten her fiancé? He is Aren, a famous figure in New York. As long as such a figure speaks up for you during the competition, you are sure to win a place.” “You love fashion designing and put in so much effort for your work. Don’t you want to get what you deserve?” What Carina said tempted Emily.

Carina was right.

Moreover, she had never begged Jocelyn for anything. In fact, because of Jocelyn, she was chased out by Anna and stood for the entire morning.

Besides, she and Jocelyn were friends, right?

Then, Jocelyn would probably agree to this simple request, right?

After all, she didn’t want much. She just wanted a fair treatment.

Emily tried to convince herself again and again. Looking at Emily, who was lost in thought because of what she said, Carina couldn’t hide the smugness in her eyes. “You’re right. I’ll consider what you said seriously.” Emily looked at Carina and said, At this moment, in Emily’s eyes, Carina was no longer the vicious person she was a while ago. In Emily’s eyes, Kerina had already become her confidant who could understand her dream and appreciate her work.

Maybe Carina wasn’t as bad as everyone said. It was just that no one else had walked into her heart and found out about her goodness.

“Carina, I’m sorry for misunderstanding you. You’re a very good person. If you don’t mind, we can probably be good friends.”

Emily grabbed Carina’s hand with a sincere expression.

She only wanted to get information about Jocelyn, but she didn’t expect Emily to fall into her trap. This was a pleasant surprise.

Fighting back the physical disgust, Carina grabbed Emily’s hand. “It’s alright, darling. I forgive you. After all, I’m not a cash cow. It’s impossible to make everyone like me. I’m very happy that you’re willing to be friends with

me.”

“Since we’re already friends, I don’t know if I should tell you something.” Carina hesitated. She knew what to do to arouse people’s curiosity.

As expected, Emily fell for it.
