Chapter 407

Leanna knew that she couldn't reason with Queenie, so she commented dispassionately, "You're right. A lot of people hate me, and I can't make everyone like me. However, I'm not the one who is supposed to worry about getting the backlash for what I've done."

Then, she got into her car and left. On her way back, she received a call from Aidan.

The man's masculine voice was heard over the phone. "At what time are you getting off work today?"

Leanna replied, "I have no idea. I'm outside."

"Where have you been?"

"There was something I had to deal with."

A moment later, Aidan said, "Wait for me in the studio after you get off work."

"Hmm. Got it."

After putting down her phone, she caught a glimpse of a friend request on WhatsApp. The person's name was Elliot.

Seeing that, she knitted her brows and directly dismissed it. That guy is obviously up to no good. He claims that he needs a second chance to be a better person, but he has never considered donating the money given to him by Queenie to the charity.

When she stopped her car at the sight of the red light, her phone buzzed. She connected the call and realized it was a scam call this time.

"Congratulations! There's a lucky draw going on, and you're—"

Leanna hung up before the person could finish his words. While gazing at the phone, she fell into her thoughts. A moment later, she drove her car forward at the sight of the green light and passed through the crossroads before pulling the vehicle over on the roadside. Then, she found the unfamiliar number from two days ago and called, only to find that the other party's phone wasn't turned on.


She lowered her phone and let out a breath. Perhaps I've been overthinking things. If it was Ron, he would contact me again.



Since the police didn't have evidence to prove that Queenie had hired someone to attack Elliot, and Ron's face wasn't shown in the surveillance footage, the strife between Queenie and Elliot came to an end.

On the other hand, the organizer of the competition soon announced that Queenie's results would be revoked. Additionally, she and Elliot would never be allowed to take part in any designers' competitions or fashion events.

In other words, they had been shut out from the fashion world.

Following the announcement, the organizer posted another tweet showcasing Leanna's work during the preliminary round, the semi-final, and the final. They also revealed her score.

There was no denying that she deserved to be the winner.

After the tweet was posted, a lot of people left their comments.

'McK's name has finally been cleared. I've said that she should've been the winner, given her talent. Some people had spread rumors that President Pearson helped her shoot to fame. Are they blind or something?'

'Those who spread rumors are really something. They're risking their lives by slandering the Pearson Group. I admire their courage.'

'Based on what has happened so far, it's not hard to figure out the people who have been spreading rumors.'

'Hahaha. There's no need for any speculation. I had just visited Elliot's page. He's posted a new tweet and accused Queenie of her wrongdoings.'

'So, everything started because Queenie's jealous of McK. She made Elliot side with her and bribed the judges. However, she didn't live up to her fame, so the exclusive show that was supposed to be hers was given to McK instead. Therefore, she became furious and sought Elliot's help. That was when the conversation was recorded.'

'Gosh, the previous comment is spot on! Queenie and McK have been on bad terms since their tenure at Lux. My friend is a staff member from Lux, so she has shared some secret information with me.'

'What secret information?'

'Please share it with us as well.'

'Please DM me with the secret information.'

'Second that.'

'Anyway, I don't think Queenie is powerful enough to do such things. Although Elliot is deplorable, he's pretty famous in the fashion world. It would require a lot of money for Queenie to make him help with the cheating. Does she have so much money? Moreover, the judges are important figures in the fashion industry. Could they be bribed so easily?'

'Queenie is a nobody compared to them, but she has a mentor. It wouldn't be hard for Robert to bribe those people.'

'I can't believe Robert is that kind of person. That's gross.'
