"Ms. Moore, there have been allegations that you intentionally deceived Cameron Jones, a renowned designer at Allure Designs, by using his designs extensively without his consent. This has severely tarnished his reputation. "It has also been revealed that Allure Designs established counterfeit factories and authorized these factories to reproduce Mr. Jones' limited-edition designs for the sake of profit, violating his rights. How do you respond to these allegations?"Chelsea's questions were sharp and straight to the point, leaving no room for excuses. However, Allyson seemed well-prepared and lowered her head to take a deep breath, wearing a mournful expression. "Ms. Wight, both Allure Designs and I have been framed."Her pitiful voice sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it. However, she seemed oblivious to how unsettling her voice was and continued while wiping her tears, "Our cooperation with Cameron started as an accident. I believe everyone knows that Cameron a
The comments section of the livestream erupted once again.When the handsome police officer appeared, the audience mocked Allyson for embarrassing herself.Allyson's smile vanished and she stepped forward awkwardly. "Officer, there might be some kind of misunderstanding. We—""It doesn't matter if this is a misunderstanding. You'll have to come with us to the station," the officer insisted, leaving no room for arguments. Allyson's expression darkened. "Officer, as you can see, we are on livestream now. Since you claim that Allure Designs violated copyrights, please explain to the audience whose rights we violated. I don't mind giving our audience a proper explanation."The officer adjusted his hat and sneered. "Ms. Moore, we've gathered enough evidence to prove that Allure Designs is indeed involved. Are you sure you want to expose it all to the internet without your superior's approval?"Allyson froze. She had thought that the police officers were called here by Cameron or th
Cedric had been in meetings all day and it was already ten at night by the time he was done for the day. "Boss, Ms. Moore is still waiting in your office," Mason said helplessly with his head bowed. He had told her multiple times that Cedric was busy and asked her to leave, but she was extremely stubborn, and this wait had lasted for more than two hours. Given the woman's status, Mason couldn't simply ask her to leave, and it was quite exhausting for him.Cedric's expression darkened. "I won't see her."With that, he turned and walked into his office without looking back."Cedric ..." The woman was already leaving his office as he was entering.Seeing Cedric make his way inside, her eyes reddened. She looked at him pitifully. "Are you really going to be this heartless?"Cedric's expression darkened further, but he remained silent."Even if you don't care about the relationship we've had since childhood, can you really ignore the things my cousin cared about? You can ignore
The office, which was already quiet, became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Astrid bit her lip and stared at Cedric stubbornly, her eyes filled with despair and anxiety. She was truly at her wit's end and wouldn't have dared to mention this name in front of Cedric otherwise. This name was taboo in front of Cedric, and no one had ever mentioned her ever since the day Cynthia passed away. She remembered one time when one of Cedric's friends mentioned it while he was drunk and he beat that friend until they had to be sent to the hospital.The Libra family constantly used Cynthia's name to seek Cedric's help and they all suffered for it, with the worst case being one of Cynthia's uncles, who went missing one day. At that time, Cedric made it clear that no one should ever mention this name again in the future, or they would bear unimaginable consequences. From then on, everyone obediently sealed their lips and avoided mentioning Cynthia's name. The Moore family and the
By the time Cedric returned home, it was past midnight. Faye had already washed up and gone to bed. He took a shower and went into the room. Watching the woman asleep in bed, he kissed her on the cheek and sighed, wondering if she truly trusted him or if she simply didn't care enough. Someone went to her with photos of him with another woman, yet all she did was forward the photos to him. Did she not care what was happening in those photos?Everything that happened in the past was merely a misunderstanding, and he simply didn't explain himself because he was too lazy to do so. On top of that, years had passed and he felt that silence was the only way he could show respect to the deceased. However, if this would be used as a weapon against him, he didn't mind breaking the peaceful silence. That night, he had a hard time sleeping and woke up the next morning at the same time as Faye. "Morning." Faye rubbed her eyes, her voice hoarse and endearing. He planted a kiss on
The situation with Allure Designs had finally come to an end. Chelsea's interviews with Cameron and Astrid, coupled with the police station investigation involving Allyson and Astrid, affirmed that Allure Designs had been infringing on the rights of its designers and deceiving consumers.At the same time, the allegations of Light Moon Designs and Cameron plotting to frame Allure Designs were cleared. Over the past two days, the rumors and scandals had caused Faye's Facebook account to gain millions of new followers, while Light Moon Designs' official account had gained tens of millions more. The comment section that was initially extremely critical transformed into a chorus of apologies and praises. Light Moon Designs generously forgave all the fans and announced their new product launch in three days' time. Light Moon Designs had been preparing for a long time for this product launch and had delayed it due to various reasons. Fans were dying to view the new launch and the a
Kendall responded, "Why is it not a good thing? If I were Cameron, I would choose to leave Allure Designs and come to Light Moon Designs for a better future as well. "It's unfortunate that an outstanding designer like Cameron got involved with a company as heartless as Allure Designs. Light Moon Design is better, after all."Tracy replied. "No, Kendall. Cameron leaving Allure Designs and choosing Light Moon Designs would have been fine if this happened any other time. However, he has just exposed Allure Designs and before the lawsuit concluded, he went ahead and signed an agreement with Light Moon Designs. How do you think people will view Cameron and Light Moon Designs if they find out?""Do you mean people will suspect that we conspired with Cameron to bring Allure Designs down?" Kendall typed. Tracy replied, "Exactly. Don't you find it suspicious? Cameron has been cooperating with Allure Designs for years, so why didn't he expose them earlier? Why did he choose to do it right
Upon hearing Astrid's name, Kendall's expression instantly darkened."No, it can't be! He's already married, so he can't possibly have feelings for that woman anymore," Kendall said hysterically, her eyes bloodshot. Gilbert was her senior in high school, and she had secretly been in love with him since then. During those days, he was exceptionally charismatic and talented, while she was nothing special and lacked the courage to get close to him.Kendall had no choice but to study hard. Gilbert pursued a design major in college, and she followed him to the same university, studying the same major. After graduating, Gilbert secured a position at Allure Designs as a senior designer with his own skills. On the other hand, Kendall applied to the same company but failed due to her lack of proficiency in designing gowns. She ended up at Light Moon Designs, which had just started its domestic operations and was in need of staff.However, Light Moon Designs wasn't short of talented
Official Hart was well aware that if he indeed went to Pembrook, he couldn't successfully assume the role of the leader without the support of the security team. It wasn't that he underestimated himself, but Pembrook was a peculiar city. Ordinary officials who went there could only be puppets. Even those who thought they had some capabilities, like the previous mayor who attempted to overthrow the security team, faced a tremendously tragic fate. His attempt to gain full control over Pembrook doomed his political career and might even cost him his life. Official Hart didn't want to be a puppet, and he certainly didn't want to lose his life. Going to Pembrook was about enhancing his qualifications to open up more opportunities. In simpler terms, it was about building his portfolio.To go to Pembrook, he must have a good relationship with the security team. Now that the captain of the Pembrook Security team had actively approached him, he had nothing to lose. However, Official
Faye had made arrangements for Jeorgia, while Cedric started an investigation into what the Anderson and Garcia families were doing. Faye knew that this was a trap and that nothing happened by coincidence. However, she didn't know what the culprit's motive was. She didn't have to wait for long because she received a phone call from Tracy later that afternoon. "Faye, you could've come at me if you were upset. Why did you target Grandma? She treated you well, yet you killed her over such trivial matters. Are you even human?"Faye smirked. "Since when do you care about her, Tracy?""What are you talking about? That's our grandmother. You did this, didn't you?""Would you believe me if I said I didn't do it?" Faye sneered. "Don't think that you can do anything you want just because you married someone rich. Faye, don't even dream of getting your murderer of a mother out! I won't let you. You better come back to Jeorgia, or this won't ever be over."With that, Tracy hung up.
Clark's words only enraged Flora. Eleanor abused Faye when she was a child, which led to Faye getting sick repeatedly. She even allowed Lizzie to go into their home to poison Faye while Flora was at work. Faye suffered through so much hardship at the time and came close to dying. She was already poisoned when she was pregnant with Faye, which meant Faye was born with poison in her body. Though Flora tried her best to counter the poison, Faye was still more frail than ordinary children. Eleanor knew that Faye wasn't Clint's child, so she had always been displeased with her. "Had I known that she's the kind of person who can harm a child, I would never leave Faye with her." Rage filled Flora's eyes. Just as she was about to leave, Eleanor started coughing on the bed. Clark shouted and ran outside to get the doctor. Until the doctor arrived, there were two minutes when Flora was alone with Eleanor. It wasn't until the doctor arrived that Flora found out Clark didn't even
Lizzie and Clint were momentarily stunned, confused by Tracy's words. "I just received a call from Uncle. He said that Grandma passed away and we need to go home."Clint jolted and collapsed onto the ground. "What?"Tracy smirked. "They can't reach you or Mom, so he called me instead. We need to go home right now.""Ha! So what if she's dead? She doesn't see us as family, so why should we go back?" Lizzie scoffed in contempt. Eleanor disliked her right from the start. If Eleanor didn't stop her from marrying Clint at the very beginning, Flora would have never gotten married to Clint. Though Eleanor helped get rid of Flora in the end, she continued to mistreat Lizzie when she finally married Clint. Eleanor resented Flora for being too strong-willed and disrespectful. However, she looked down on Lizzie for not being as talented as Flora and incapable of bringing more profit to the Brown family. She kept comparing Lizzie to Flora and bossed her around. Lizzie remained patie
"Damn it! Damn it! It has to be Faye! This has to be her doing. Damn it!" Tracy pushed everything on the table to the ground. Her face twisted viciously with anger. Over the past few days, scandals about her have circulated on the internet. Even information about her age when she started sleeping around and the number of men she slept with for money was released. Evidence of her plotting to steal Anthon away and bring down the Lynch family was released as well. On top of that, there was also information about her working with her mother to chase Flora out and claim Brown Corporation as their own. Every misdeed Tracy had ever committed was exposed before the public's eyes. She became the target of all condemnation. There would be different people gathering near their apartment. As soon as they stepped out of the apartment, they would get beaten. The horrible things that Clint and Lizzie did were later released onto the internet as well. The family of three couldn't even get
Monica suffered from severe depression ever since she married Ethan. She was a strong-willed woman who refused to show any weakness. Even when she was hurt, she would suffer alone and kept giving, not asking for anything in return. Ethan married her but didn't love her. On top of that, he picked on her at every turn and gave her the cold shoulder. She began to get depressed a year after marrying him. With her friend's help, she started treatment. However, the treatment process was painful. Throughout the three years she was married to Ethan, she endured his humiliation without rest, which made recovering much harder. One day, she went to the beach and came close to getting washed away. It was Brody who saved her. Brody went there to look for inspiration for his paintings. When he saw Monica, he was sitting afar and drawing. This painting won Brody countless awards. Just as he was about to leave, there was a high tide, and Monica came close to getting washed away.
Ethan sent the photos and returned to his apartment to wait while drinking. Due to the interview that took place at noon, Ethan's divorce stirred up a storm on Facebook. At the moment, he didn't need to pay to obtain attention. After Tracy declared her innocence, everyone considered Ethan a jerk who heartlessly searched for an excuse to divorce Monica. Ethan waited an hour before releasing the photos. Everyone switched from cursing at him to cursing at him and Tracy. This was not what he expected. He gritted his teeth. Just as he contemplated how to deal with this, he received a bunch of photos. Apart from the intimate photos between him and Tracy, there were ones of Tracy with other men as well. There was even proof that Tracy got an abortion when she was still a teenager. Going through everything, he finally realized how wrong he had been. He misjudged Tracy and recklessly divorced Monica. He didn't love Monica and resented her for forcing him to marry her. Howeve
"You look alright. Who would have thought you are the kind of man who would cheat on your wife?" Eleanor didn't mince her words and immediately kept her distance. Mandy smiled. "Tracy, look at what you've done to your boyfriend.""She stole Faye's boyfriend and sent Anthon's family to prison. Now, she's here destroying Mr. Garcia's family. He lost everything because of her. How interesting," Clark chimed in. He still remembered how Tracy insulted him when he tried to ask Ethan for money. He held a grudge. Tracy's expression darkened. She wanted to run, but the reporters had directed their microphones at her. "Miss, why did you choose to be a homewrecker?""Did you know that Mr. Garcia got a divorce because of you?""Do you know how he got to where he is now? It's because of the alliance he formed with the Dalding family through marriage. Without the Dalding family's help, he may have nothing. Will you still love him even if that's the case?"These questions were confrontati
Faye learned about the Brown family being taken to the police station the following morning. Just as she got up, she received a call from the police station informing her that her relatives had been detained due to a brawl. She was urged to head over to mediate the fight. Faye smiled. "I'm sorry, but they are not my relatives. Please handle it according to the law." After hanging up, she looked at Cedric, who was waiting for breakfast. She hugged him from behind and said with a smile, "Guess what interesting scene I witnessed last night?"Cedric turned his head to study the triumphant look on her face. He smiled. "Why don't you tell me?""Ethan and Tracy were caught in bed together. Didn't you know?""I knew." He pinched her face. "I was the one who asked Monica to go over."Faye rolled her eyes and pouted, losing her interest in the matter. "Why are you asking me if you already knew everything?""You saw it with your own eyes, and I'm just guessing. I prefer to hear it from
