Chapter 263:
âIs this enough?â
The crowd immediately checked their phones.
The Sanderson Groupâs latest post included the IP address from those slanderous posts and surveillance video from an internet café showing Adelina disguised in a hat and mask.
Despite Adelinaâs efforts to conceal her identity, her nervous behavior, such as adjusting her hat and mask, inadvertently revealed her face.
Not only that, but shortly after, major social media accounts that had previously fueled the hate began posting chat history with Adelina and real-name transfer records.
Caught in the act, Adelina was clearly guilty.
Her expression turned dark and desperate.
Dropping all pretense, she lunged at Harlee, aiming to scratch her face.
âHarlee, youâve destroyed me! Now Iâll destroy you! You deserve to die!â
Before Adelina could lay a finger on Harlee, she was swiftly knocked to the ground, and uniformed officers quickly restrained her.
Adelinaâs head slammed into the ground hard, sending a wave of dizziness and pain through her.
âGet off me, all of you! How dare you touch me? Who has the guts to touch me? My father knows your chief. Iâll have him fire every single one of youâ¦â When her threats were disregarded, Adelina switched her approach.

âYou canât arrest me! Iâm a special guest judge at Baythorn University. I need to be at the art competition at the School of Art! Let me go! Iâm telling you, my designs were personally praised by the head of Janessa Studioâ¦â
âHow do I not recall praising any of your work?â Harlee raised an eyebrow.
Adelinaâs eyes widened in terror.
âWhat⦠What did you just say? Youâre the head of Janessa Studio? No⦠That canât be! Absolutely not possibleâ¦â
Adelina covered her ears as if trying to shut out the reality.
Harlee knew she had to strike where it would hurt the most when dealing with an enemy.
She deliberately chose not to answer Adelinaâs questions, aiming to drive her to madness and leave her no way to retreat. She would never let those who dared to mess with her off the hook easily, always making their fates worse than death.
In the presence of all the onlookers, Adelina was led to a police car by the officers. Just before Adelina was out of the range of the universityâs whispers, a clear voice rang out loudly, âHarlee is actually the enigmatic head of Janessa Studio!â
Adelina widened her eyes in disbelief. That couldnât be! How could her fashion creations, ones she took pride in, pale in comparison to Harleeâs?
Struck by a wave of emotions, Adelina passed out.
Being taken away in the police car, she faced prison time, and not even the George family could bail her out.
From this moment forward, she was stripped of the chance to hear Harlee confirm being the head of that famous studio. The bet she had struck with Harlee reached its inevitable conclusion.
