Chapter 430 The Fearsome President Morgan
Melanie and Annie followed Linda’s right–hand man backstage.
Adam had his makeup on, and had changed into his outfit for the runway. A yellow diamond larger
than the size of a pigeon’s eggs hung before his bare chest.
The yellow diamond looked exquisitely cut and was surrounded by pave diamonds which looked like stars accentuating the beauty of the moon, yet not stealing the limelight of the yellow
diamond featured in the middle.
The Sun and Moon collection was indeed dazzling and mesmerizing.
“I see that you’ve found it!” Melanie exclaimed.
Linda smiled. “I did, all thanks to you!”
“I had my men secretly follow Mr. Wright who, as we suspected, wanted to flee with the diamonds. He even had plane tickets booked. We restrained his wife and child and lay in wait for him at his house. It was a breeze finding the Sun and Moon collection after that!”
Linda’s right–hand man looked admiringly at Melanie.
“Our men all praised Miss Melanie for her brilliant idea, which saved us from much blood and
sweat!”
“Why not have Ms. Yancey hire me as the leader of the security team? That way, we can be colleagues!” Melanie joked.
After the Sun and Moon series were restored, the atmosphere backstage lightened up.
Linda laughed out loud, “It’s a waste of talent making you the leader of the security team! You
were the one who found the Sun and Moon collection. I would’ve been willing to give it to you if it weren’t that significant to my family.”
“Please don’t. I’m afraid that owning that priceless collection would make me slack off and not
find gainful employment for myself,” Melanie chuckled.
“I’m a woman who prizes loyalty. I can’t give the collection to you, but I will take none of the profits from the co–branding of my “Moon” series and your perfume. I’ll give them all to you!”
Linda insisted.
“Ms. Yancey, I helped you find the stolen jewelry collection so the Jones and the Yanceys can
become true friends from this episode. Please don’t be so formal.”

Melanie expressed her innermost thoughts, and Linda’s eyes shone.
“I really, really like you a lot!
“I never care for the background of partners I choose to work with, only their trustworthiness,
Jones Enterprise has long been a partner that I’ve regarded highly. I see us as equals.
“What’s more, I’ve waited for three years for the show tonight. It’s very important to me. I owe you one, so if you ever need my help in the future, feel free to come to me.”
Linda reached her hand out with a smile, and Melanie grabbed it. A round of applause sounded amongst the audience.
Two hours later, Linda’s jewelry show started without any hiccups.
Adam’s appearance at the finale segment, and the glamor of the Sun and Moon yellow diamond collection, brought Linda Yancey’s reputation in the fashion world to a whole new awe–inspiring level.
Subsequent media reports and promotional efforts were done very well, too.
The next day, Linda engaged a well–known photographer to shoot Adam and Melanie.
The photographer proposed two sets of photo series designs, and sought Melanie and Adam’s
approval before the two of them walked on the pure white platform and started the photo shoot.
Before they managed to get a third shot, a commotion broke out below the stage and behind the studio lights.
Linda’s subordinate came over to report the situation.
“Ms. Yancey, President Morgan from Morgan Group is here.”
Linda smiled, and glanced back. Jeffrey had already walked near, and she looked at him without standing up, “President Morgan, did you just barge in uninvited?”
“I heard Ms. Yancey’s jewelry show was a huge success, and came specially to congratulate you,” Jeffrey said with a half-smile.
“Hah!” Linda laughed, and stretched out a hand to signal him to take a seat. “President Morgan, do you have a habit of congratulating others empty–handed?”
“Of course not,” Jeffrey shot back without missing a beat. “I heard that this batch of jewelry series that you newly designed will be launched in Medonia very soon before entering the local market.

your collection, Ms. Yancey.”
“That’s great!” Linda’s eyes lit up, and her entire face was bearing. “By offer, do you mean that you won’t take a single cent of profit?”
“I’ll leave that entirely up to you. You are my senior, and I am willing to do as you please,” Jeffrey said charmingly.
Linda turned around and surveyed Jeffrey from head to toe, her eyes shining.
“I’ve only ever seen you in media reports. Although I believe our families might be related, 1 believe this is our first time meeting, isn’t it?”
“That’s right.”
“You look rather friendly,” Linda said as the smile faded from her face. “You’re smart, too. No wonder Morgan Group has been unstoppable over the years. You’re known to be fearsome.”
“Someone known to be fearsome wouldn’t look friendly,” Jeffrey said.
“Haha!” Linda chuckled. “Although that’s true, I still find you friendly. You do look like a member of the Yancey family!”
Jeffrey’s eyes glinted, and he said with a smile, “Ms. Yancey, I heard the outline of this photoshoot. Is this for your Sun and Moon collection?
“Yes, it is.” Melanie nodded coyly, looking open to share more.
“The Sun and Moon collection features a series of opposites. Since you have one male and one female model, why are you making them pose together? They should be separated and on opposing ends. That would better reflect how gloriously the sun and the moon complement each other while not interfering with each other,” Jeffrey explained gruffly.
“I didn’t expect President Morgan to be so well–versed in artistic promotion!“.
Linda chuckled, and rested her chin on her hand.
“You’re a generous man, President Morgan. I love working with generous people. That settles it, then. We’ll work together for the better in entering the domestic market.”
“For the better, indeed.”
Jeffrey echoed in agreement. His brows furrowed slightly, and after a moment’s pause, he asked, ” But what do you mean by me being generous?”
“You came here personally to congratulate me, and even offered me such a valuable gift for the

Linda laughed again, and crooked a finger at her subordinate standing behind her. “Tell the
photographer to stop. We need a proper discussion to address President Morgan’s suggestion!”
