Chapter 482
Hearing that, Lena immediately became anxious.
Evangeline’s expression also turned grim.
Juliana’s wedding was a public event, with major media outlets from all over invited.

If she blamed everything on their studio in front of the press, ever if they issued a clarification later, they wouldn’t be able to undo the damage. The negative first impression would make it nearly impossible for them to expand into overseas markets afterward.
“Nat…” Evangeline looked at Anathea with a troubled expression
But Anathea still wore a composed, polite smile. She gently tried to soothe Juliana. “Ms. Doyle, please rest assured. We will make sure you’re satisfied with the outcome.”
“You’d better!” Juliana huffed coldly, then walked away without looking back.
Emory, who was supposed to leave with her, stopped in his tracks. He looked at Anathea as if wanting to say something but hesitating.
Anathea looked at him as well. “Mr. Smith, don’t you think you owe us an

explanation?”
Emory let out a breath and said apologetically, “I’m sorry. Because of me, your studio has taken the fall for something this serious. I really did say white roses. You didn’t mishear me.”
“What?” Lena looked bewildered. “Then,
why…”
Why was Juliana insisting on pink roses
“I don’t know either.” Emory was just as confused.
“I’ve been with Juliana for so many years. I know her preferences. She’s always loved white roses. In fact, she never really cared much for pink ones.”
As he spoke, Emory took out his phone and showed them a series of photos of Juliana. In every picture, Juliana was holding a bouquet of white roses, smiling radiantly.
“So, I went and made the decision myself to order white roses from you. I wanted to surprise her.”
But he hadn’t expected that Juliana wanted pink roses.
“I’m really sorry,” Emory said, full of remorse. “I’ve caused you a lot of trouble. But I love Juliana, and I don’t want her to have any regrets about the wedding. So, please change all the white roses to pink ones. We’ll cover the extra cost.”
Evangeline shook her head. “This isn’t just a matter of money. The wedding is tomorrow. Even setting aside the need to redo the entire venue, there isn’t a single florist company out there that can source 200 thousand pink roses in such a short amount
of time.”
“But you promised that you could ensure a perfect wedding!” Emory frowned, his tone growing irritated. “We trusted Olivia and chose your studio because of that. Otherwise, we could’ve just chosen any other florist!
“I don’t care. The invitations have already been sent out. If we cancel at the last minute, who knows what the media will write about Juliana? I won’t allow that to happen. If you can’t do it, don’t blame me for what happens next!”
“Mr. Smith, please calm down-”
Before Anathea could finish speaking, Evangeline pulled her back by the hand. “Nat, don’t bother. In all my years in this industry, I’ve never seen such an unreasonable, shameless client. He made the mistake himself and now expects us to clean it up. In his dreams!”

“Y–You…“Emory pointed at them angrily. “I don’t care. Figure it out!”
With that, he turned and stormed off without looking back.
“What is wrong with that guy? It’s clearly his own fault, and now he wants us to fix it!” Evangeline fumed.
“Take it easy, Evangeline.” Anathea patted her on the shoulder.

Evangeline grabbed her hand, dead serious. “I’ve decided. I won’t let us be treated like this, even if we lose this project-”
“Evangeline,” Anathea cut Evangeline off gently, shaking her head. “You’re caught in the heat of the moment, but don’t say things like that.”
“But-

“Ms. Jacobson.” Olivia’s voice rang out.
Anathea turned her head and saw Olivia standing there, guilt written all over her face.
