Although Eleanor felt relieved, she couldnât shake off her frustration.
âWhat about Lucinda? Are we just going to let her get away with this? Sheâs only going to become more arrogant!â
Melody spoke with assurance.
âDonât worry.
Since we canât do anything out in the open, weâll have to be sneaky about it.
â
Eleanor listened carefully to Melodyâs proposal and eventually consented.
She looked at herself in the mirror with a malicious grin and said, âExcellent.
I canât wait to see that bitch suffer.

Meanwhile, in the office of the CEO of the Roberts Group, Nathanielâs eyes were fixated on a video of Lucinda dancing.
Nathaniel gazed intently at his phone, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
âBoss.
â
A sudden knock on the door interrupted his thoughts and Flynn walked in.
Nathaniel quickly put his phone away, grabbed his coffee, and took a sip.
âWhatâs up?â
Flynn hesitated for a moment before speaking up.
âI found out that the dress was indeed bought by the Turners and they paid Miss Z 30 million dollars.
But I donât understand how Lucinda got her hands on the authentic one.
â
He paused for a moment and then added, âThereâs probably been a misunderstanding?â
Nathaniel said nothing in response.

Flynn peeked at him curiously and saw his deep eyes.
But he couldnât tell what Nathaniel was thinking.
Flynn continued to explain, âRegardless, I donât think this matter has anything to do with Miss Turner.
Sheâs too innocent to be involved in this mess.
I think someone is deliberately messing with her, and thatâs why sheâs been having such a tough time.
â
âInnocent?â
Nathaniel furrowed his brow.
Flynn defended his statement, âYes, Miss Turner is innocent and kind.
Youâve known her for years.
Havenât you thought the same?â
Nathaniel shot him a glare, causing Flynn to quickly lower his head.
The room fell into an awkward silence.
