Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 468

Chapter 468 A Moment Is An Eternity

The window glass was being repeatedly slammed by the cold wind. Leah felt a little chilly when she heard the whistling sound. She buried her head once more in the cozy quilt. She looked bewildered as she kept scrolling through the comments on her phone.

"How is that person so brave? Fergie shouldn't steal the trophy from Ms. Charming even though she is a member of the Ritch family, right?"

"Does she not realize that Mr. Hendrik is watching out for our Ms. Charming? Be careful! Ritch family might be in great danger."

Leah murmured, "This doesn’t feel right. They used to chastise me on the internet, didn't they? They rarely defend me in public."

Leah quickly discovered the reason when her assistant sent her a text message.

"Ms. White, our PR department has already taken the initiative to direct fans' comments on various news media platforms regarding online public opinion."

Leah found the situation both funny and embarrassing as she put away her phone. She was happy for nothing.

Some of her company's positive reviews and exposure had disappeared as word of her losing the competition spread across the nation.

"I see. Thank you."

Leah was depressed after she received another call from a government official informing her that Dream Designs had not been included in the Top 50 Who's Who rankings for new and influential companies.

She kept examining her own work and Fergie's because she was unwilling to accept her defeat.

While Fergie's work was flawless, as Susan had stated, it was still inferior to hers. It was obvious that she should have been the champion.

Leah was unwilling to endure her suffering in silence. She called the organizers to inquire about the competition results. When she raised her doubts, the organizers dismissed her concerns and mocked her.


"Are you implying that a novice designer like you is more competent than all of us experts? Never assume that depending on Mr. Hendrik will be enough for you to prevail. Don't you realize what you're capable of? How could you possibly have ever imagined competing against Ms. Ritch? You are remarkably bold. Accept the fact that you lost to her. All of this chatter is just a bitter loser whining, right?"

This speech made Leah the one at fault.

Her eyes became icy in appearance. She pursed her lips and rebuked, "How could you verbally attack me when I'm just bringing up logical doubts? It doesn't seem right, does it? Is this the true nature of the organizers of such internationally renowned events? People from the outside world would likely be very disappointed if they learned about this. This competition will lose its credibility!"

Leah might not be upset if they had been more professional in pointing out her shortcomings in comparison to Fergie. They attacked her as soon as she opened her mouth, which really made her furious.

The staff became upset after hearing Leah's direct and firm reply.

He berated her, "Do you consider me to be easily intimidated? Do you believe you can oppose us, the planners of an international event, given your status as someone who rose up the social ladder through a man? It was somehow flattering to award you the title of runner-up, how dare you covet Ms. Ritch's title? You don't know what’s good for you!"

The organizers started to hurl abuse and insults at Leah.

Leah was not angry. She simply pressed the recording button on her phone.

Han just so happened to hear the insults coming from the phone because Leah had set it on the table when he walked into the room. His charming face abruptly turned gloomy. His body radiated an icy and murderous aura.

Leah had stood up and taken his hand before he could do anything about it. She motioned for him not to speak.

Leah held her tongue until she felt she had gathered sufficient proof a short while later. She said, "No matter how the competition turns out, you have insulted me today. I'll see you in court."

After she hung up the phone, Han's deep and icy voice sounded immediately, "Did they cheat you out of your championship?"

Han was shown the creations by Leah and Fergie. She explained, "It would appear so. Her work contains some details and lines that aren't as well-managed as mine."

Han pulled out his phone. He didn't even bother to look at Fergie's creations. His gloomy expression showed a sign of disdain, "What a bunch of fools!"

…

He could not bear the thought of Leah being wronged by anyone other than himself.

Leah noticed Han’s meaningful gaze, and she asked in confusion, "Are you preparing to take action? Don't worry, I'll sue the organizers and take them to court."

Han chuckled, "There's no need for that. A competition organizer that loses its fairness doesn't need to exist."

Outside the window, the chilly wind persisted.

Leah's heart warmed at this frank defense, but other people found this speech to be a little inhuman.

"Then, I'll leave it to you."
