The President’s Mistake A Tale of Love and Regret novel Chapter 436

Despite Daphne’s beauty and talent, she was nothing more than a plaything for the aging Michael, who had recently been preoccupied with his own troubles and thus spared her from his usual torment.

This constant competition between people was so aggravating. Why did it have to be this way?

With these thoughts in mind, Daphne cast an increasingly disdainful look at Frey and raised her voice deliberately, “I didn’t expect Ms. Frey to be so inspired after her release from prison. The designs today are impressive, but the concept isn’t groundbreaking—just a bit novel.”

Her laughter was loud and cutting. She continued, “Ms. Frey, did you find any inspiration during your time in prison?”

Frey’s frown deepened. Wasn’t this clearly an attempt to provoke her?

Her case had stirred up a significant fuss in Saeville, but Nathaniel’s courtroom testimony had exposed Abigail’s scandals, revealing Frey’s unjust imprisonment.

Despite this exposure, many people in Saeville knew about her wrongful conviction.

Recently, Frey had been focused on finishing her work, applying for state compensation, and clearing her name.

However, many people abroad were unaware of the disputes between her, Nathaniel, and Abigail, and they were even less aware of her wrongful accusations.

Daphne exploited this information gap, repeatedly highlighting Frey’s past imprisonment to undermine her reputation.

The attendees of the dinner were all high-society figures who valued prestige over money.

They were interested in more than just the design; the quality and symbolism of the jewelry were also important.

Daphne’s comments caused the expressions of the ladies to shift. Especially those who had just made deals with Sawyer. They were shocked to learn that the exquisite jewelry came from a woman with a criminal record.
