Chapter 410

After Elliot left the studio, Zoe entered the office with a confused frown. "Was that the guy who fell out with Queenie?"

Leanna nodded slowly.

"Wait a minute." Zoe pulled a chair toward herself and sat down beside the woman. "Why was he here? Did you see how smug he looked? If I had no idea what had happened, I'd have thought he had been honored instead of getting blacklisted by the fashion industry."

Leanna replied, "Perhaps he's trying to add fire to the fuel since I'm ready to deal with Queenie."

Zoe couldn't help but click her tongue. "Although Queenie deserves karma, Elliot is also a terrible guy. Whenever I recall how smug he looked, I have goosebumps all over my body. I'm disgusted."

After giving it some thought, she asked, "Didn't you meet Lewis today? How is he going to deal with the two judges?"

Leanna leaned against the chair and replied calmly, "We don't have any solid evidence now, so we can only let them off."

"What?! They're not going to be punished for their wrongdoings?"

Leanna smiled. "Don't worry. As long as they're guilty, their wrongdoings will be exposed sooner or later."

Zoe nodded in agreement. "You have a point."

Leanna stretched her back. "Alright, let's get to work now."

"I'll go back to work now. Call out to me if you need me."

"Alright."

Zoe then left the place. Just as Leanna was ready to start working on her draft, her phone on the table buzzed. She picked it up and realized it was a junk message. Then, she put the phone down and slightly pressed the space between her brows.

Two hours later, she heard a knock at the door, so she lifted her head. "Please come in."

Zoe pushed the door open and entered the office with boxes of accessories. As she laid them down on the table, she uttered, "These are the accessories that the factory has just produced, Nana. Please take a look and tell me if there's a problem. If there's none, I'll contact the customers to pick them up."


Hearing that, Leanna put down her pen and opened the boxes one by one. After examining all of them, she said, "There's no problem. You can start contacting the customers."

"Alright."

Just as Zoe was about to leave, a staff member rushed into the office with a box. "There was one more box in the car, Zoe."

Zoe patted her head. "Oh, I've forgotten about it!" She took the box from the staff member and passed it to Leanna. "Have a look at it as well."

When Leanna opened the box and saw the necklace, she fell into a dazed state for a moment.

Seeing that, Zoe asked in a hushed voice, "What's wrong, Nana? Is there a problem with it?"

"No." Leanna shook her head with a smile. "It was one of my works. I sent the draft paper to the factory previously."

As Zoe glanced at the necklace, she recalled something and asked probingly, "It looks like the lost necklace you'd prepared for the charity gala dinner the other day."

Leanna replied, "It's based on that necklace. I'd made some modifications during the competition."

Upon learning that, Zoe said, "It's no wonder I find the necklace familiar. It looks gorgeous. Did you get the inspiration from the pocket watch?"

Leanna pressed her lips into a line and nodded.

Seeing that, Zoe stopped asking further. A moment later, she asked, "Why don't we have dinner later, Nana?"

"Huh?"

"It's to celebrate that you've won the competition and secured an exclusive show. Also, Georgina's true colors have been exposed, and Queenie and Elliot are now fighting with each other."

After pondering on it for a moment, Leanna nodded. "Alright, then. Have you invited anyone else?"

Zoe winked at her cheekily. "Don't worry. I've invited President Pearson."

Leanna's ears reddened as she coughed. "Stop saying nonsense. He's just a friend…"

"Right, right, right. Your friend." After a pause, Zoe added, "By the way, I've also invited Louis and Daphne. Is there anyone else you'd like to invite?"

Leanna replied, "Tell Daniel to come over as well."

This time, it was Zoe's turn to blush as she refuted meekly, "Why are you inviting him?"

Leanna chuckled. "Doesn't he send you home every day now? It's not like today will be an exception."

"But—"

"It's fine. Just tell him to come over. He's helped me a lot."

Zoe cleared her throat. "Alright. However, I don't think he's in the piano room now. I'll call him later."

"Alright."

After the door was closed, Leanna pulled out the lowest drawer at her desk and opened a box. Then, she picked up a pocket watch and placed it on her table.

Previously, she had found Lloyd through the pocket watch, but the man turned out to be a sham; her biological father passed away a long time ago.

This pocket watch was probably the last thing he had left behind in this world.
