Chapter 111 Recording Pen

Tomorrow marked the debut of the first runway show.To prevent any mishaps, Joey brought her dress to her room for a quick inspection. However, upon opening the door, she was startled to find Zachary seated inside.Zachary had returned to the company the day before, and Joey thought he would only be back tomorrow. His sudden appearance in her room added to her nervous mood."Didn't expect to see me?" Zachary set down her usual scribbles.Joey had sketched some random fashion designs on those notes. She did not think Zachary, who was usually indifferent, would suddenly be checking them out."I heard you're back at the office, so finding you in my room was quite unexpected," Joey mentioned, throwing in an excuse. Holding her dress, she walked into the room and casually shut the door. Zachary's gaze shifted to the dress. "Isn't Selena in charge of dress inspections? Why's she passing it on to you?""She's been busy all day, and her eyes are tired. She asked me to help with the d

Chapter 112 She Is Chloe

At 6:00 a.m., Zachary got his hands on everything Henry had gathered these past few days. He went through pictures of Joey's scribbles he took last night and laid out the design drafts Henry had compiled.Joey's scribbles featured various small patterns, and Zachary meticulously compared them to the ones on Chloe's previous design drafts.When he came across the identical crane illustration, Zachary placed his phone on the design draft and scrutinized it closely.Joey's play with light and shadow on the crane was a dead match for Chloe's version in her old design drafts.The play of light and shadow served as a significant indicator of one's artistic talent. It would be impossible for Joey to quickly emulate the essence of Chloe's design, no matter how gifted she may be.Zachary squinted and continued flipping through the design drafts, searching for similarities. As time passed, he continued the comparative analysis.Zachary picked up the last design draft and compared it with J

Chapter 113 Not Into You

Kent felt Zachary's question was oddly weird. They were a married couple, and for his wife to practically consider him dead, didn't that just mean he was as useless to her as a deceased person?In other words, it was like being a widower without the actual funeral. Or perhaps it was just the whole messy thing with Julia.So, Kent looked at him and went, "You and Julia, uh, share a bed regularly or something?""Are you nuts?" Zachary shot him a glare. Kent quickly straightened up. "I can see Joey holds some resentment toward you. She didn't even tell you that she's Chloe. Your role as a husband seems quite negligent, don't you think?"Zachary's gaze turned icy, and he grumbled, "Oh, stellar job as a husband, no doubt. In her world, I'd probably miss my funeral and still be clueless about it."Kent shivered from the coldness around Zachary. Hesitatingly, he asked, "Zachary, what do we do now? "She won't reveal her true profession, and it's not wise for us to confront her dir

Chapter 114 Master Copycat

Henry passed the phone to Zachary. Kent was a bit annoyed. He wondered why he didn't get to watch the video when he was right next to Henry.As Henry approached Zachary, the video started playing. Kent quickly crowded in to get a better view. The video had a sensational title."Shocking! Big-shot designer caught being a master copycat! Design and clothes? All faked with an assistant's hand!"In the video, Joey came out of Selena's room holding partially finished garments. However, the garments she secretly took back to Selena's room the next day had magically turned into complete outfits.It happened for three days straight. As the video wrapped up with a dark screen, the hum of a sewing machine filled the air. When the sewing machine fell silent, Joey's voice emerged from the same spot."There's still a lot of details to finish up. I'll take these back to the room and work a bit more. You should get some rest.""It's quite late already, and there are still two days left. Why the

Chapter 115 Stepping In

Selena sneered, "As my fan, you accused me last time of getting the competition theme early through my assistant. "Now, with video and audio recordings, you're trying to make me admit plagiarism. You're quite the devoted fan, huh?"Allie retorted, "I'm not entirely convinced the last incident wasn't true. After all, you do have a pretty impressive assistant." She finished with a meaningful glance at Joey.Joey calmly responded, "Why don't you tell everyone how impressive I am, to the point of predicting competition themes in advance?"Allie didn't dare to continue and just smiled knowingly. "For those in the know, well, they know.""Ms. Porter, by throwing these accusations around, if the truth comes out, maybe it's time to rethink your career in design. And Ms. Fisher, after twice spreading rumors about Chloe, shouldn't you think about offering a sincere apology?" Joey shot back, her tone laid-back but with an underlying intensity.Julia sneered, "What's your deal, being ju

Chapter 116 Still Backing Her

Jerome shot a glance at Uriah before speaking."According to Ms. Fisher and Ms. Porter, we should collaborate to remove individuals like Ms. Linton and Ms. Sanders, who deceive the public from the program team."His words left no room for doubt about where he stood with Selena and Joey. Zachary's gaze landed on Selena. "What do you have to say?""I want to stress that the video content is entirely false. Mr. Gray should be able to verify that, right? "And let's not forget, I wasn't keen on joining in the first place, but you coerced me into signing a contract. Now, you're damaging my reputation. I need an explanation," Selena asserted, chin lifted and eyes piercing.Zachary narrowed his eyes. Despite knowing Chloe was a part of this program team, Selena's attitude seemed too bold. Could it be that she and Joey had seen this coming?Zachary asked, "What's your take on this?"Selena looked at Joey. Joey stepped forward, her gaze as calm as a still lake. "I'll be speaking on b

Chapter 117 Suddenly Knew How to Placate People

Zachary noticed the change in her gaze and recalled Kent saying that she disliked him. His brows furrowed instantly. Joey's gaze went from cold to indifferent. "If she doesn't apologize online for what happened this time, don't expect us to design any clothes for her. Believe it or not, I can cut all the finished clothes into pieces!" "Why do you have to go against her? I'll—"She interrupted him sharply. "I don't want to hear this from you! Emmen relied on Chloe's name to get started. What she did today sabotaged my livelihood. That's no different from killing someone's parents, do you understand?!" "Are you deliberately targeting her because you're angry that I protected her?" he asked."Zachary, even if you spread the word that you are sleeping with her right now, I wouldn't be angry." Her expression was indifferent. He took a deep breath at her words. He stared at her. "So you're allowed to say anything you want if she doesn't apologize? Emmen is that important to yo

Chapter 118 Clear Her Name

Joey was in a bad mood as she returned to Selena's room. She saw her spacing out on the couch. Upon hearing the sound of the door closing, Selena snapped out of her reverie. She immediately looked at Joey. "What did he say?""He said he'll have Julia apologize. We'll carry on as planned, but I don't want to let it go like this." Joey sat by Selena's side. There was a coldness in her blue eyes. Selena looked at her. Her gaze slowly grew cold too. "You want to go against Julia? Won't Zachary take his anger out on Emmen?""Selena, don't you think that we're manipulated by Zachary and Julia because we've been afraid of this situation all along? There's no point in constantly tolerating this. It wouldn't solve anything," Joey said calmly.Selena slowly calmed down. She said softly, "You're right.""Let's wait for the results from the production team. Once it's out, we'll start the next phase of the plan, but you'll have to be prepared to lose your money."Upon hearing this,

Chapter 119 Everything Has Been Arranged

In the end, the most liked comment was as follows:"Chloe must design on a live stream to prove her mettle so everyone will believe her. Otherwise, Chloe doesn't deserve the prize at all!"Upon seeing that netizens were still arguing, the director sought Kent's opinion.After hearing the director's words, Kent, measuring a pair of women's shoes, answered in a bland tone, "Let them bicker. The 2:00 pm runway will continue. For now, you guys have a good lunch. Have the models quickly put on their makeup? Don't delay it."The director glanced at the time. It was almost 1:00 pm … He wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Mr. Simons, if we continue, we'll be criticized on the trending page.""If I tell you to arrange it, then arrange it. There's no need for so much nonsense! Oh, by the way, don't have Allie get ready."He put the ruler down, took the damp towel by his side, and wiped his hands. The director left the room with a world-weary look on his face.After Joey and Selena had ea

Chapter 120 Public Challenge

Zachary walked in. He first glanced at Joey. He then turned to face Julia who was behind him and said, "Speak."Julia stepped out from behind him. She looked at Joey and then at Selena, and yelled, "Selena, I'm very sorry! I honestly didn't know what Ms. Porter had done. When I talked about this bag, she seemed to like it a lot so I sold it to her at a lower price. I never thought that she would resell it at its original price …"Allie bit her lip and said nothing. Joey guessed that she probably wanted to take the blame on her own."Well, I quite like the watch on your wrist too. Will you sell it to me at a lower price?" Selena asked suddenly as she laughed.The watch was a birthday gift from Zachary. There was no way she would sell it. Julia bit her lip. Tears fell from her eyes immediately. They stained her face, painting a pitiful picture. "Selena, I got anxious and angry this morning because I like you. I apologize for what I said this morning, but I promise that I didn't
