Chapter 842 The Designer Visits
Lola felt uncomfortable, but still replied: [I've already deleted it.]
Maria: [That's good. Don't leave any leverage. Easter is coming up, so we need to be extra careful.] Knowing Lola had deleted her comments, Maria finally felt relieved.
Maria: [Words like those insults, it's fine to say them in your heart. Mr. Medici and Mrs. Medici can't open up your heart to see, but once you post them, it's like handing a knife to someone else. You never know when they'll stab you or how they'll do it. It's like a ticking time bomb; you don't know when it will explode and affect you.]
Lola: [It was my oversight.] Lola admitted. She hadn't expected Maria to be so thorough. Now she regretted it a bit because she had only insulted Abella a few dozen times, but Abella's fans had insulted her nearly a thousand times. After exhausting herself in a long argument with them, she realized it had only brought her more frustration and did nothing to improve her situation.
Abella returned to Long Island Manor, and Lauren greeted her with a loving smile. "Ms. Medici, you arrived just in time. The designers just got here, and you came right after!"
Abella gave her a slight smile, "Where are they?"
"They're already inside."
At that moment, Beckett saw Abella returning through the surveillance and rushed out to greet her.
Kimberly also came out running, linking arms with Abella as they walked inside. "Abella, did you see the news? Those people are just jealous. Don't be anxious."
Beckett quickly added, "Exactly, it's because you sing so well that they're jealous and spreading rumors about you! They can't reach your level, so they say you can't either. They even slander that your past songs weren't original."
Kimberly continued, "Those songs are clearly in your style! I can tell just by listening! Abella, I heard your manager is suing all of them. If you're still upset, I can have someone secretly teach them a lesson!"
"One lesson isn't enough. They slandered my daughter without any evidence, affecting her mood. They deserve at least two lessons!" Beckett said angrily.
"Don't worry about them," Abella said with a calm smile. She never had time to bother with such insignificant people. If she got angry with each one, she would have been driven mad long ago. Besides, Kiki had already stepped in to handle it, and the incident had brought her considerable attention. Her previous songs were once again topping the charts on music apps.
In other words, it had made her a lot of money.
"Fame comes with trouble. If it were Blake being slandered, I wouldn't be this angry. But you're different; you're the family's treasure." Beckett said.
Hearing this, Abella couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for Blake.
At this moment, the designers in the living room saw them and stood up to greet them.
"Let me introduce you. This is my biological daughter, Abella."
The designers' eyes all turned to Abella.
"Ms. Medici has inherited all the best qualities of Mr. and Mrs. Medici. It's truly an honor to meet you. I'm Alan Evans, a designer from BT. It's a pleasure to meet you," Alan said, bowing to Abella out of respect, without directly shaking her hand.
"Hello, I've heard a lot about you," Abella nodded slightly in return.
She had heard of Alan's reputation.
The luxury brands that the public usually saw, like LV and Dior, were just ordinary luxury goods. True luxury lay in haute couture.
Haute couture was typically only affordable for royalty, top billionaires, superstars, and the wives and daughters of political elites.
Because haute couture was the most special and professional, its prices were also the highest.
Brands like BT, where Alan worked, specialize in men's haute couture and originate from Britonia. It was an internationally renowned brand, consistently ranking in the top five in evaluations by the world's top luxury research institutions. Political elited and celebrities from around the world favor this brand.
BT's custom-made suits made them look more tasteful, unique, and charismatic.
So, this brand was deeply loved by them.
Abella herself was also in fashion design, so she knew that these haute couture brands weren't just about money. The brand would consider the family's reputation in the local area and then invite qualified customers. If a customer was invited to become a haute couture client, the designers would come to take their measurements and tailor the clothes. Each year, the customer needed to spend between one to six million dollars to maintain their client status.
So, with at least seven or eight brand designers here, the family spended at least twenty million dollars a year on haute couture.
"Hello, Ms. Medici. I'm Hannah Myers, the chief designer of CR. It's a pleasure to meet you," Hannah said, shaking hands with Abella while marveling at her beauty.
Her aura was different from those of top-tier heiresses, with a pure and cold elegance, as if winter snowflakes had melted in her eyes, making her beauty captivating.
"Hello," Abella shook her hand.
The CR brand originated from Italiara and had a hundred-year history, specializing in women's haute couture. Many wealthy wives and daughters, royal women, and socialites loved this brand because the clothes it designed represented the highest and most fashionable taste, making them look like works of art.
"Ms. Medici, I'm Jewel Farley, the creative director and chief designer of the high-end jewelry brand EV."
"Hello, Jewel. Your reputation precedes you. It's a pleasure to meet you," Abella said, shaking her hand.
The remaining designers introduced their brands and positions, and Abella greeted each of them and exchanged contact information. Kimberly then had afternoon tea and snacks brought in so they could chat while eating.
Hannah, the designer from the women's haute couture brand CR, earnestly asked Abella about her usual clothing preferences, requirements for new clothes, and desired styles and fabrics.
Another women's haute couture brand, QZ, also listened attentively to Abella's thoughts.
Although QZ didn't have a long history, its popularity in haute couture has even surpassed luxury brands like Burberry. Since its debut, it had conquered many in high society. Later, it partnered with Italiara's top haute couture brand EZ, firmly capturing the hearts of the most elite consumers.
Other designers were asking Beckett and Kimberly for their opinions, sketching clothing designs on their tablets, adding colors, and asking if they were satisfied with the styles and what needed to be modified.
