Evelyn Clayton nodded: "No problem at all, we’re just starting out, so it’s only right to be humble."
Yara Reagan agreed: "Indeed. But going forward, we should think about the next step for the Xiaong fashion show, and what project to undertake. Collaborating with other companies is just for maintaining revenue flow; at the end of the day, we still have to establish our own brand."
Evelyn Clayton’s eyes sparkled with hope: "I’ve thought about that too. However, the liquid assets we currently have aren’t much, aside from the earnings from the auction after the last exhibition and the share from the project collaboration with Franklin Ford, which sums up to about three million in total..."
"It’s enough for us to register a fashion brand company." Yara Reagan could hardly contain her excitent, "If we nail this collaboration, we’ll have ample standby funds, let’s take it one step at a ti!"
Evelyn Clayton pondered: "Let think it over again. Starting our own brand is a certainty, but it also needs the right timing. Before that, let’s clear out so risks first..."
Once the discussion ended, Evelyn Clayton contacted Franklin Ford.
After discussing the investigation results from Iris Lockwood’s side, Evelyn Clayton wasn’t hesitant, "I hope Director Ford can help look into Matthew Sullivan’s recent whereabouts, and the evidence regarding his rumor spreading, if it’s not too much trouble."
Evelyn Clayton had collaborated with The Ford Group before; when her reputation was damaged, The Ford Group’s na didn’t sound very good either, so Franklin Ford naturally wouldn’t refuse.
Franklin Ford agreed to investigate Matthew Sullivan, then asked Evelyn Clayton about her future plans.
Exchanging a glance with Yara Reagan, Evelyn Clayton didn’t hesitate, and shared the idea of starting a brand with Franklin Ford.
Franklin Ford chuckled lightly, seemingly unsurprised: "You’re not one to stay ordinary, I figured you’d go on to create your own brand. I just wonder, am I fortunate enough to have a share in it?"
That implied he’d like to partner up, quite an unexpected pleasure.
Originally thought that Franklin Ford, with his large-scale family business, wouldn’t be interested in their small profits, but now it seems Franklin Ford truly considered moving in this direction.
Yara Reagan heard it from the side and imdiately displayed a look of excitent, vigorously nodding to signal Evelyn Clayton.
Evelyn Clayton naturally wouldn’t get overly excited herself, cald down, and first asked Franklin Ford for his reasoning: "Director Ford, if you want to create a fashion brand, it wouldn’t be difficult."
"That’s true, but right now I’m eager to separate from Sumr Monroe. I believe you absolutely wouldn’t have any dealings with Sumr Monroe, not even acquaintanceship. I’d naturally choose you." Franklin Ford spoke candidly, then laughed again, "Moreover, I have soone who wants to et you, when do you have ti to make an appearance?"
Evelyn Clayton was stunned: "Who?"
Franklin Ford didn’t hold back, chuckling: "It’s my eldest sister."
The Ford Family’s eldest sister? Violet Ford?
Evelyn Clayton was even more puzzled.
By now, Violet Ford should have returned to the country a few days ago, yet there’s been no word from The Ford Family, and the outside world has remained silent.
But now, Violet Ford actually wants to see her? What’s going on?
Seeming to sense Evelyn Clayton’s confusion, Franklin Ford explained with a light chuckle.
"Forgot to tell you, my older sister has another na, Ivy, and she’s also a fashion designer."
Evelyn Clayton couldn’t believe her ears.
Ivy, is it the Ivy she thinks it is?
"Yes, the Italian designer Ivy who won an international award!" Evelyn Clayton continued to be stunned.
Franklin Ford nodded with a smile, "Few people know, my sister has been traveling abroad for years, and she’s finally back, plans to reside permanently. She has seen your work and is very impressed, saying she would be honored if she had the chance to be a partner."
