Zoey glanced in Russell's direction, and at that moment, the man was being surrounded by a group of big shots.She felt that the timing was perfect. If Russell had discovered something, the person behind the scenes would not dare to act recklessly. How could they obediently come to light?She got up with Leanna and the two of them walked towards the direction of the restroom, their steps slightly floating.Leanna felt a bit stronger and not as hot.She said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Zoey, how did I do with these few steps?"Zoey chuckled, "It was convincing enough to be mistaken for real.""I was a bit excited, when were we caught?"Zoey had not replied yet when four men approached from behind. They each grabbed hold of their arms and pulled them into the lounge, locking the door behind them.Zoey and Leanna were dumped on the couch, while four men stood in front of the couch, starting to unbuckle their belts and uttering vulgar words.Zoey sniffed her nose, an
Zoey looked at Ariana's astonished expression, her eyebrows slightly raised. "I shouldn't be here, I should be there, right?"Ariana's lips twitched, "No, no, I thought...""You thought that woman was me," Zoey tightened the grip on the hand resting on her shoulder, "Where did you get so many assumptions from?"Ariana let out a painful "ah" and said, "Zoey, you hurt me."Livia accused Zoey, "You should let go of Ariana, she came to find you because she was also worried about you."Zoey not only did not let go of Ariana, but she also tightened her grip, "You're worried about me, so you brought so many people to witness this spectacle. Is this to protect me or to ruin my reputation?"Ariana didn't expect Zoey's hand to be so strong. She felt a sharp pain on her forehead, and beads of sweat started to form. "Zoey, I'm really worried about you!""You were worried about me, shouldn't you have immediately found Russell to save me? What makes you think your fancy footwork can save me? Huh?"
Russell looked at the girl with flushed cheeks and a dazed look in her eyes. He lifted her chin with his fingertips and said, "I didn't see."Zoey raised an eyebrow, "Is she pretty or am I pretty?"Russell chuckled, "I didn't see, how would I know what she looked like?"Zoey thought that this man was particularly cunning and would not fall for any questions.She squinted at him and asked, "Am I good-looking?"The two of them were breathing close to each other, the girl's fragrance mixed with the rich aroma of red wine wafting into the man's nostrils.Russell's Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he croaked, "Good-looking."Zoey hooked her fingertip around the buttons of the man's shirt, and if she got just a little bit closer, their lips would touch."Who were you to Roland?"Zoey's eyes flickered, "Roland, he was my little brother, responsible for running errands."Russell finally let go of his worries and said, "Zoey, in the future, can you please let me know if you have something go
Ariana returned home angrily and took out her blocking medicine from her bag, screaming like crazy.Dahlia pushed the door open and saw Ariana had swept all the cosmetics on the dressing table onto the floor."Baby daughter, what happened to you?"Ariana broke down and cried, her makeup was all smudged, and she looked extremely disheveled. "Mom, how could Zoey do this? I was worried about her safety, so I went to find her. Not only did she publicly abandon me, but she also manipulated Moriah into believing that I orchestrated the whole thing. She deliberately provoked Moriah and caused her to scratch me. Moriah has AIDS. I have to take antiretroviral medication now, or else I will contract HIV!"Dahlia heard it and her mind buzzed."That damn bitch! If I had known this would happen, I should have killed her back then!" Dahlia tightly held Ariana's hand with concern. "Ariana, don't cry. You won't get it, and if you do, Mom will make that bitch accompany you in death! Stop crying, your
When Zoey put on the dress yesterday, she felt a little loose, but she didn't think much of it.After all, Z&L Design did not have any issues, and this renowned styling studio did not encounter any low-level problems.When she and Leanna were sitting on the couch eating dessert, they noticed that something was wrong.After they brought Moriah into the lounge, Zoey's dress was about to burst, but luckily Zoey used a silver needle she carried with her to make a loop and managed to control it.Then Russell said it was when the maid helped her change her dress that it broke down.However, she did not find the silver needle, perhaps it was picked up by the servant.She didn't ask much either, after all, she was embarrassingly drunk.Zoey now comes to demand an explanation, making the guilty Lilah refuse to admit, "There was absolutely no way such a problem could have occurred in our styling room."Zoey raised an eyebrow, "So you mean there was a problem with the brand? Do you know who was
Russell, upon seeing the situation, instinctively wanted to rush out.Troy was afraid that he would act impulsively, slamming the door shut and charging towards the man.However, he was still a step too late.Zoey had lifted her foot and kicked the person away, causing the glass bottle to shatter into pieces on the ground, making a sizzling sound.Some of it splashed onto the man's hands, and he cried out in pain.Zoey stepped on the man's hand and crushed it fiercely, "Tell me, who sent you?""No one sent me! Ah..."Troy looked at Zoey's cold and piercing eyes, as if he saw Russell. Indeed, blood is thicker than water."Mrs. Maddox, let me handle it," Troy said respectfully.Zoey already had a few candidates in mind. "Lilah from the styling room, Ariana, or Nelson, none of these three are innocent."Troy nodded, "Mrs. Maddox, you go back to the car first, I will call the police."After all, since this incident occurred in public, it was more appropriate to report it to the police.Zo
The next day, Russell and Zoey had breakfast and were getting ready to leave when they were unexpectedly stopped by Jordan and Dahlia.Although Russell was dissatisfied with the two people's attitude towards Zoey, he still invited them in out of courtesy.The servant served the tea and then left.Jordan picked up the teacup and blew on it gently, but Dahlia glared at him. He then placed the teacup back on the coffee table.He cleared his throat and said, "We came here today to ask if Zoey would come back with us."Russell said in a cold voice, "Zoey was my wife, she should have lived in Serene Manor."Jordan said, "The crucial outsiders were unaware of Zoey's identity. If this matter had been exposed, Zoey's reputation would have been questioned."Russell squinted his eyes and said, "Weren't you all accusing Zoey of plagiarizing Ariana without any evidence before? Why do you suddenly care about her reputation now?"Jordan choked, "At that time, we thought that since Zoey had only been
Russell's eyes had a cold temperature, and the Harmon family's attitude towards Zoey was simply terrible.The purpose of this trip was not at all to have Zoey return to the Harmon family, but to ask for dowry money."How much do you think Zoey was worth?"The man's voice was indifferent, distant, and aloof.Jordan's eyes lit up. "You are the head of the Maddox family, and getting married is something you can't miss out on. After all, it wouldn't be respectable if it got out."Dahlia nodded, "Indeed, that's true, and Zoey is top-notch in both appearance and intelligence."Zoey sneered, "So, can you tell me now what major I studied?"Dahlia awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, "Anyway, it's a really great profession. You are now an S-level designer at Galaxy Studio, earning billions of dollars a year. Regardless of your family background, how many socialites can compare to you? Russell, it's Zoey's fortune to marry you, and it's also fortunate for you to marry Zoey. We
In the spacious exhibition hall, all the audience members became excited.They all wanted to see these three people entangle themselves and reap what they had sown.Nelson looked up at Zoey and said, "Zoey, you are truly malicious. Ariana has already fainted, why haven't you let her go?""Fainted?" Zoey chuckled lightly, slowly getting up from her seat and retrieving an iron box from her handbag. From it, she took out a thin and long silver needle. "I am particularly skilled at treating illnesses where people faint at critical moments. Roland!"Roland instantly understood and pinned Nelson to the ground, pressing his knee firmly against him.Zoey squatted beside Ariana and said, "Ariana, silver needles can be used to wake someone up when they are inserted into the head or neck. Where do you want to be pricked?"Zoey's lips curled into a wicked smile as she slowly stabbed towards her brow with a sinister intention.Ariana felt something approaching,
The double doors of the exhibition hall were opened, and two bodyguards escorted a woman of about fifty years old inside.Zoey looked at Ariana, who tried to appear calm but panic was already evident in her eyes.She smiled and asked, "Were you nervous?"Ariana immediately retorted, raising her voice, "How is that possible! I didn't even know this woman, what does she have to do with me!"Zoey sighed, "You really don't know this woman, after all, it was Mrs. Harmon who personally contacted her."Ariana clenched the skirt by her side, "Don't talk nonsense! Don't falsely accuse my mother of crimes she didn't commit! Zoey, we are sisters after all, why are you lying with a clear conscience and trying to frame our mother?"Zoey shrugged, "Did I lie? Accuse? If you don't want others to know, don't do it!"The bodyguard escorted the woman onto the stage.The woman looked up and saw a sea of people below.Zoey's face darkened, "To tell you the t
The host, Leandro, took the stage and took a deep breath before forcing a difficult smile."Unexpectedly, today's product launch event gave birth to twin works, and they were even created by twin designers. So now, let's invite the two designers to take the stage!"In the lounge.Leanna patted Zoey's shoulder and said, "Good luck! I'll go find the best shooting angle now, and wait for Ariana, Jayleen, and Nelson to give you thirty bows."Zoey nodded, "Please shoot in high definition."Leanna made an OK gesture.As soon as Zoey left, the rest of the designers crowded around, "Ms. Spence, you know the inside story, right? Tell us first, please? We're all dying of impatience!""Yeah, Ms. Spence, stop beating around the bush. What's the matter after all?"Leanna pointed at the big screen and said, "Why rush? It's great to watch a movie for free."The crowd: "..."Zoey was about to step onto the stage from the waiting area behind the runw
Under the runway is the audience seating area, where the ticket prices vary for each row. The closer to the front, the more expensive the tickets are.The first row, also known as the VIP area, was already being resold for one million per ticket, and tickets were extremely hard to come by.Most of them were female celebrities and heiresses.This time, even the winner of the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress, Madeleine Keller, appeared on the scene.The woman had a graceful figure, and there was a charm in her eyebrows and eyes. However, she also exuded a coldness that made people feel she was only meant to be admired from afar and not approached.Madeleine treated her assistant well and especially bought her a ticket.The assistant whispered, "This time, Galaxy Studio used a new designer's sketches. It is said that Star didn't submit any drafts, and I don't know if they were excluded. This designer's name is Zoey, and she is the fiancée of R
Ariana looked towards the sound, her eyes filled with unmistakable anger and hatred.Roland looked at her provocatively, "Has everyone forgotten Zoey and Ariana's conversation? All of Ariana's sketches were created by Zoey's hand! Perhaps this time too!"Ariana almost bit her porcelain teeth, wishing she could devour the silver-haired man in front of her.Just in public, she still had to maintain her composure.She looked pitifully, "I did stay in a mental hospital for a few days because I was really depressed. I admit that Zoey used to be my voice substitute, but I don't admit that those sketches were drawn by her. Because those sketches were all created by my hard work, day and night, I absolutely do not accept Zoey's argument. I hope to prove my strength through this new product launch, and I believe I will lead Born Beauty further and further."The design director Jayleen on the side also nodded solemnly, "I can prove that these drafts were drawn by Aria
After Russell hung up the phone, he looked at Zoey."That person was silenced."Zoey pursed her lips and said, "It seems like we will have to trace the source through Sophia's phone."Russell nodded.The two of them returned to the bedroom, and Russell began to recover the contents of his phone."The other party's card was not registered with an identity, and the location of the signal it emitted was not within the country. Nelson has been in the country all along, and there is no relevant information on his phone, so it cannot be ruled out that Sophia sent the message to an overseas code, which was then forwarded to Nelson by the other party. They communicate through virtual numbers on the internet, so the source cannot be traced."Zoey clicked her tongue and said, "Nelson has finally become smart. It doesn't matter, even the smartest fox can't escape the hunter's grasp. Since we suspect it's him, let's just keep an eye on him, he will definitely strik
In the following days, Zoey was always leaving early and coming back late, and when she returned, she would quickly take a shower and go straight to bed.Because she had prepared an alternative plan, only she and Leanna knew about this matter, so the finished clothes could only pass through their hands.Russell was unaware of her plan and only felt that Zoey had been scared that night, so she was avoiding him.That night, Zoey came back with a tired body.She lay directly on the bed, and Russell, seeing this, helped her massage her shoulders and neck. "You look very tired," he said."Um." Zoey recounted this incident to Russell.Russell finally realized that Zoey was not ignoring him, but she was really tired.Zoey noticed his thoughtful expression and quickly climbed up, sitting on his lap. "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"Russell's deep gaze fixed on her, "Were you thinking if your aunt's period had ended?"Zoey's face turne
Zoey entered Russell's room and found him standing by the French window, talking on the phone.His deep blue pajamas blended seamlessly with the curtains of the same color, and upon hearing the sound, he turned his gaze. His fair complexion appeared even cleaner and more refreshing.He hung up the phone and walked up to Zoey.Zoey lowered her gaze, her teeth lightly biting her lower lip.Russell raised her chin with his fingertips and said, "Are you afraid to look at me?"Zoey mumbled, "Where is it?"Russell took a step forward and met her toe-to-toe, "I'm sorry, I was a bit out of control today.""It's okay, I can understand. After all, you were drugged.""What if I wasn't drugged?"Zoey swallowed her saliva, and she was indeed a little scared.Russell chuckled and lifted the person horizontally, "Go to bed early, hmm?""Okay."Zoey lay in the man's arms, her nose filled with the clean and pleasant scent of the man. Howeve
At that moment, Russell's eyes were filled with crimson, and he was breathing heavily."Zoey, you helped me."Zoey bit her lower lip, made up her mind, and reached out for the man's belt.The scorching sensation made her breath almost stall, and her ears were burning.Her hands were trembling, and she closed her eyes, allowing him to fiddle with her.Russell greedily kissed her lips, not hiding his overwhelming desire.I don't know how long it took, but Russell finally stopped.Zoey moved slightly and asked, "Is it done?""Okay, it seemed good, but then it didn't."Russell looked at Zoey's watery eyes, her lips slightly parted and reddened from the kiss. The surprise in her eyes couldn't be concealed as she asked, "What does that mean?"Russell's Adam's apple rolled, "I wanted to have another go."Zoey: "?"Russell traced down along her slender neck and delicate collarbone, pushing up her T-shirt to reveal a section of fair
