Chapter 656

Elizabeth rushed home and quickly climbed into bed, tossing her bag and slippers aside. She took a deep breath and then turned, staring at the ceiling, rubbing her cheeks. Winter had arrived, and it was getting colder and colder, and the snow outside continued to fall. Elizabeth took a hot shower, but even after her skincare routine, she couldn’t fall asleep. It was past ten at night.

Suddenly, she thought of something. She went to her study and turned on her long-unused computer. Elizabeth logged into the Base M system; her inbox was overflowing with emails. Many people had emailed her, hoping she would return and participate in more activities. But she hated showing her face most of all.

Reality was reality, and Base M was like a virtual world. You paid me; I did the job. But asking her to show her face? It was impossible. Because Elizabeth never showed her face, there were all sorts of rumors about her. Some said she was too shy to face the world; others said she was divorced with kids; and some even claimed she was a bald, overweight, middle-aged man. In short, there was a lot of talk.

On the forum, many people were discussing Ivan’s recent jewelry exhibition. Elizabeth was surprised by it. When she clicked in, she found that most of the comments were complaints. Those who praised it—did they even know Kennedy Hope? Kennedy was born for jewelry! Kennedy is the best!

Elizabeth raised an eyebrow. As she scrolled down, the discussion was all about Kennedy. She chuckled. She looked at her long list of professions and casually clicked on the “Jewelry Design” category. In the jewelry design section, there was a newly sent invitation:

[Hello, I am Magnolia, the founder of Opulent Crest Jewelry, which will be holding a jewelry exhibition this Saturday. We hope you can honor us with your presence and guidance.]

Magnolia was inviting the famous jewelry designer, Kennedy. Elizabeth was the long-hidden Kennedy. In the top right corner, the name Kennedy gleamed in gold—a golden tag that belonged only to Kennedy.

At fifteen or sixteen, Elizabeth, in her naivety, designed some pieces she thought were beautiful and posted them online immediately. Many people criticized her designs, but she didn’t care. After all, she was young. Later, a set of her jewelry designs became a sensation online. Elizabeth signed with a company and became the renowned Kennedy. The company packaged and promoted Elizabeth, and she worked hard. Once Kennedy’s name was out, she instantly became a representative of blockbuster jewelry. In just half a year, she solidified her title as a genius designer, becoming a hot and mysterious designer.

At twenty, when Elizabeth was at the peak of her popularity, she left the design world to be with Alexander. But no one ever forgot Kennedy. Whenever a new set of jewelry emerged, people would bring up her old designs to criticize them. Elizabeth’s later jewelry designs were even more impressive, each set more popular than the last. So much so that after she went into hiding, everyone went crazy, sending her private messages, begging her to reconsider.

Elizabeth hadn’t logged into this account for three years, and logging into the account would trigger a notification. A golden banner gradually appeared at the top of the forum: [Jewelry Designer Kennedy is online.] In an instant, countless people flooded into the jewelry section, and everyone started posting. Elizabeth didn’t refresh for just ten seconds, and there were already countless new posts. She hadn’t expected that after three years, she would still have such influence.

Felix quickly sent a message: [Boss, how could you log into the base forum without giving me a heads-up? I need to get Oliver to reinforce the server! Damn it, the design team’s server is about to crash!]
