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 supposedto 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'sname was Elliot.

Seeing that, she knitted her brows and directly dismissed it. That guy is obviously up to no good. Heclaims that he needs a second chance to be a better person, but he has never considered donating themoney 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 andrealized 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 herthoughts. A moment later, she drove her car forward at the sight of the green light and passed throughthe crossroads before pulling the vehicle over on the roadside. Then, she found the unfamiliar numberfrom two days ago and called, only to replace 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, hewould contact me again.

…

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

On the other hand, the organizer of the competition soon announced that Queenie's results would berevoked. Additionally, she and Elliot would never be allowed to take part in any designers' competitionsor 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 duringthe 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 orsomething?'

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

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

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

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

'Gosh, the previous comment is spot on! Queenie and McK have been on bad terms since their tenureat 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'spretty famous in the fashion world. It would require a lot of money for Queenie to make him help withthe cheating. Does she have so much money? Moreover, the judges are important figures in thefashion 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 bribethose people.'

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

'Gosh! He's one of the most influential designers. I suggest the organizer blacklist him, along withQueenie and Elliot.'

'He's such a terrible guy. It's no wonder his apprentice did such a thing.'

The blame over the internet gradually shifted from Elliot and Queenie to Robert, who promptly posted aclarification on his company's social media.

In the statement, he claimed that he wasn't aware of Queenie's wrongdoings during the competition.

Moreover, he respected the organizer's decision and felt devastated that Queenie turned out to be sucha person. He regretted taking her on to be his apprentice. From that day onward, he had nothing to dowith her anymore.

After the clarification was posted, many people doubted Robert, for Queenie wasn't capable of bribingthe judges.

Just as the discussion over the internet became increasingly heated, the organizer posted a tweet tosay that Robert had nothing to do with this incident. They would continue investigating the bribery caseand let everyone know when the outcome was ready.

At this point, the incident regarding the designers' competition was over.

As Queenie went through all the comments in her home, she went mad and swept the computer anddraft papers to the floor.

After she threw a tantrum, she caught a glimpse of an old phone lying among some miscellaneousitems. She inserted a SIM card and dialed a number in a hurry. The person on the other end asked in alanguid voice, "Who are you?"

Hearing her voice, Queenie was elated. "It's me, Miss Kramer. I'm Queenie. Have you seen all thecomments on the internet? What should I do now?"

Violet snapped, "That's your problem. What does it have to do with me?"

Queenie bit her lip. "How could it be my problem? I listened to your advice and did such a thing.Moreover, you were the one who had found Elliot and bribed the judges. I've never told anyone aboutany of those things. Can you lend me a hand? I have no idea what to do now."

"Stop spouting nonsense, will you? I just thought you were friendly and had a talk with you during thecompetition. I've never given you any advice or told you to do anything. Also, I don't know the guyyou've mentioned."

"But Miss Kramer, I—" The call ended before Queenie could finish her sentence.
