Chapter 332: But She’s So Pretty!
Was that really help? It seemed more like a curse to Julia Sanders, especially now that her most embarrassing side had been witnessed by Frederick Vanderbilt.
“Julia, where does it hurt?”
Frederick Vanderbilt squatted down, his gaze intensely serious and probing as he looked at Julia Sanders‘ bare feet. His scrutiny made Julia’s toes curl up in embarrassment.
Julia immediately curled up her legs, covering her feet with her hands. “It’s nothing… just a minor injury, hehe…” She finished speaking and then buried her face in her knees, her lips pouting in frustration.
Mr. Vanderbilt, staring at someone’s feet like that, in ancient times, you would have had to marry them!
However, Frederick Vanderbilt seemed oblivious to such implications. Seeing Julia hiding her feet, he shook his head and, without any hesitation, pulled her feet out into view.
The moment his cool fingers touched her foot, Julia’s back tensed up, and she lifted her face, her eyes filled with shock and embarrassment, staring intently at Frederick Vanderbilt.
How could he so casually and unabashedly touch her feet like that?
Ah… it was just too embarrassing!
Feeling her gaze, Frederick Vanderbilt didn’t show the slightest embarrassment. At his age. thin– skinned wasn’t an option. However, Julia’s shy look made him frown slightly, his voice a bit colder, “It’s
red, and you say it’s nothing?”
“I… I…” Julia stuttered, biting her lip. She tried to subtly withdraw her foot from Frederick’s
grasp, but the moment she moved, he gripped it tighter. The sudden movement aggravated the injury on her ankle, sending a sharp pain radiating through it.
“Ah! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!”
She immediately covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes wide with fear as she looked at Frederick

She hoped her sudden outburst hadn’t frightened Mr. Vanderbilt.
Frederick Vanderbilt looked into her eyes, seemingly about to laugh but holding it back. He then
lowered his gaze to the swollen and reddened area on Julia’s ankle. The swelling wasn’t too severe,
just a bit red, probably not too serious, and definitely not a bone injury. He breathed a sigh of
relief.
Such an injury would heal with some ointment.
After placing Julia’s foot down, Frederick Vanderbilt stood up and then extended his hand towards
her.
Julia stared blankly at his large palm, her heart suddenly racing.
She had never even touched Mr. Vanderbilt’s hand before, and now she could? She glanced up at Frederick Vanderbilt, seeing his calm demeanor, devoid of any unusual emotion. Julia slowly reached
out her hand, trying to suppress her rapidly beating heart.
The moment their fingers touched, it was as if a current passed through her. Julia’s heart raced uncontrollably. Fearing Frederick would notice, she tried to pull back but was caught firmly in his grasp. With a strong pull, he lifted her up from the ground.
“Ah!” she exclaimed, losing her balance and falling into a warm embrace.
Frederick Vanderbilt, ever the gentleman, quickly wrapped an arm around Julia’s lower back. preventing her from falling again. With his other hand, he steadied her arm, effortlessly helping her
maintain her balance.
Julia could sense the girl’s rapid breathing due to nervousness, and even the evasive look in her eyes. Frederick Vanderbilt merely smiled gently and, with graceful ease, released his hands.
“It looks like you can’t walk.”
Previously, Claire Donovan had been supporting her, and Julia Sanders was too stubborn to let Sasha Felix see her in distress. She had endured the pain and walked that far, but now it seemed impossible
for her to walk any further.
She looked at Frederick Vanderbilt somewhat despondently, but in the next moment, she saw him.

After Claire Donovan and Sean Vanderbilt left, they returned to the hotel.
Since Julia Sanders was injured, Claire would not let her work.
Originally, they planned to let Julia Sanders tidy up the documents after their fun, but now Claire
had to do it herself.
Sean Vanderbilt, unwilling to let Claire work alone, sat down beside her and helped her sort through
the paperwork.
“The necklace needs to be taken to the organizers for verification tomorrow. Before the exhibition
starts, the organizers will keep the information about the jewelry confidential. After the
verification, the jewelry will be under the organizers‘ care. After all this, we need to submit the
company’s documents. You know, usually, Julia does all these things. Doing them myself, I realize how
cumbersome it is.”
Sean Vanderbilt’s expression also darkened, wishing he had brought Logan along. He had thought Julia
Sanders could handle everything alone, but now it seemed he had burdened his Claire.
“No worries, I’ll accompany you.”
Claire Donovan hummed nonchalantly, “Did you think I’d go alone?”
Sean Vanderbilt chuckled, then curiously looked at Claire Donovan, “By the way, which necklace did you bring this time?”
“Well…” Claire Donovan playfully winked at Sean Vanderbilt, “You’ll find out on the day of the exhibition!”
Sean laughed helplessly, tapping her forehead gently, “You and your secrets!”
“Me and my secrets…”
The tap wasn’t painful, and Claire Donovan, feeling even more smug, shook her head and stretched languidly, “Ah… Suzanne should be arriving in a couple of days, right?”
“Suzanne?”

At Sean Vanderbilt’s puzzled look, Claire Donovan generously enlightened him, “There’s a fashion show on the day of the exhibition. I’ve got some connections, so I’ve arranged for Suzanne to help out. Just imagine, while other brands will have ordinary models, I’ll have one of the top actresses in our country walking for me. Just thinking about it feels prestigious.”
Hearing this, Sean Vanderbilt wasn’t as optimistic, “Suzanne Jenkins might be famous back home, but here, not many people know her.”
He paused, frowning slightly, “And aren’t models usually very tall? Even female models around six feet are common, and Suzanne Jenkins is just five feet eight. She’s fine as an actress, but for the runway, that’s hardly an advantage.”
“Pfft…”
Claire Donovan rolled her eyes in exasperation, “Do you think this is some international mega stage? Six–foot–tall models are everywhere? I’ve heard that the models invited by the organizers are from this country, mostly around five feet nine. Sure, there are some over six feet, but not many. Suzanne might not have the height advantage, but she’s so pretty!”
