Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 122

Meanwhile, at Lux Magazine, the workers in charge of sending the jewelry to the charity dinner had just left when Queenie stepped out of the shadows as she made a call. "They're just about to head over."

"Got it," a man's voice uttered from the other end of the line.

"Remember what I told you. You have to deal with this before they bring it into the jewelry display area. Otherwise, it's more likely for you to get caught," Queenie reminded him.

The line was silent for a while after that. "Are you sure you want to do this, Queenie?" the man uttered. His words seemed to have triggered a switch in her. "Do you think I want to do this?" she scoffed sarcastically. "I put in all my effort in The Emerging Designer Competition three years ago, yet I only got second place. How could that be? I should've been the one who won the trip to Paris, yet in the end, it seemed like I just got something that she threw out like trash." She took a deep breath before continuing. "I'm just trying to get rid of a passerby blocking my way. What's wrong with that? She has to disappear for my dreams and hopes to come true. I don't want to continue being looked down upon by others. You're going to help me, aren't you, Ron?"

"I'll bear all the responsibilities if anyone ever finds out about this, Queenie. I won't get you involved," he replied.

"Just do as I say, and you're not going to get caught," she reminded him before ending the call. Then, she tightened her fists before turning around and leaving. I will ensure that Leanna leaves the design industry once and for all!

…

Louis poured a glass of milk for Leanna in the café. "How did you find the time to come over?" he asked as he sat opposite her. She held the glass with both hands and took a sip of the milk before responding. "I'm on break today, so I don't have much to do."

"Zoe told me that you're going for a charity dinner tonight," Louis uttered after a short pause. Leanna was speechless. I can't believe Zoe already told Louis about this event. "Well, something came up, so I'm not going anymore," she said with a rather stiff smile.
