Chapter 409
After a week, Leanna and Lewis signed the contract. The exclusive show would be held in September,which was six months away. Therefore, she had ample time to get prepared.
After that, Lewis walked her to the door with what appeared to be remorse. "I never expected so manythings to happen during the competition. As for the two judges… If you need any help in the future, feelfree to contact me, McK."
Although they were fully aware that the two judges were not impartial, they were unable to replace anyevidence to prove that the latter had accepted bribes. Hence, the case remained unsettled.
Leanna put on a smile. "Thanks. Anyway, I should thank you for giving me this chance."
"I didn't give you this chance. You deserved it."
After they chatted for a while more, Leanna left the place. Lewis watched her leave with a look ofapproval on his face.
Not long after Leanna returned to the studio, an unwelcome guest arrived.
Elliot's head was still covered in bandages, but that didn't stop him from looking around greedily. Whenhe saw Leanna, he quickly put on a smile. "I'm here to ask what you're going to do about Queenie."
Leanna shot him a dispassionate glance. Without telling anyone to get him a cup of water, shequestioned, "What do you mean?"
Elliot leaned against the seat and placed his hands on the back of the couch. "Well, we're in the sameboat now. Queenie has hurt you terribly. Are you going to let her off just like that?"
"Whether I'll let her off the hook, it's got nothing to do with you."
Faced with her impoliteness, Elliot didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he smiled confidently. "It hassomething to do with me, of course. I've fallen into such a state because of her. Since we have acommon enemy now, why don't we join forces and discuss how to deal with her to make sure that she'llnever get back on her feet again?"
"You've been blacklisted by the fashion industry, but you're more concerned about dealing withQueenie?" Anyone would be amazed by Elliot's irrational suggestions.
"Well." Elliot waved his hand nonchalantly. "That doesn't matter. So what if they've blacklisted me?Many people are willing to pay me to work for them. Why would I even care about being blocked since Idon't have to worry about money?"
"It seems you've earned a lot of money through this incident."
Elliot guffawed. "That's for sure. Why would anyone do something that would destroy their futurewithout enough money?" Then, he examined Leanna's studio. "This is a nice place. I've been mullingover the prospect of building my studio. Do you have any advice for me? Why don't we make it afranchise or something? Don't worry. You'll get the money you deserve."
Leanna stared at him coldly. "It seems that Violet has been generous."
"That's—" Elliot caught himself as his expression changed slightly. He coughed. "What did you justsay?"
Calmed and composed, Leanna spoke with poise. "Violet. Have you forgotten about her so soon?"
"M-Miss Kramer, right? I remember her, of course. She's one of the special judges of the competition."
Leanna smiled without delving into the topic. "I still have work to do. See you."
"Don't chase me away yet," Elliot called out desperately. "I'm serious about the franchise business.Why don't you think it over? Let's exchange contact numbers. We can talk about the details onWhatsApp later."
"There's no need for that." Then, Leanna got to her feet and entered the office directly.
Elliot squinted his eyes and watched her leave. This woman is beautiful, clever, and charismatic. Moreimportantly, she's Aidan's woman. If I can get her, I'm sure she'll prove to be more interesting thanQueenie.
After leaving the studio, he got into his car and was ready to head home. Suddenly thinking ofsomething, he grinned and entered an address on the navigation system in the vehicle.
…
Queenie had shut herself in the house for several days. All of them—Robert, Georgina, and Violet—had abandoned her. She couldn't even contact Ron. That's it! This is the end of me! While in a groggy
state, she heard the doorbell ringing. She lifted her listless gaze in the darkness and glanced at thedoor. The doorbell was still ringing, so it wasn't a hallucination.
She quickly got to her feet and opened the door, saying, "I knew you wouldn't give up on me, Ron. I—"
Before she could finish her words, she realized it was someone else outside the house.
Her pupils dilated as an unconscious response to anxiety. With all that was left in her, she attempted toclose the door in a hurry. However, before she could do that, Elliot barged into the house and graspedher hair before he dragged her to the bedroom.
Queenie screamed, but the man soon clenched her neck, causing her face to flush.
Elliot glared at her with a hideous expression. It wasn't until she almost blacked out that he releasedher. Before Queenie could gasp for air, he slapped her forcefully and cursed, "What a b*tch! How dareyou get someone to deal with me? Who do you think you are? Since I've survived, I'll make life a livinghell for you!"
He stuffed something into her mouth and bound her hands with duct tape. Then, he violently ripped herclothes apart and tortured her without mercy.
She could only glare at the man, but she couldn't even let out a sound as her tears slid down her face.
When the ordeal was over, Elliot tossed her to the ground and entered the room directly.
Queenie came to her senses and struggled to her feet. "What are you trying to do? Get lost! You—"
Before she could finish her sentence, the man slapped her in the face again, which caused her to fall tothe ground. Then, he walked around the room recklessly and threw all the trophies and award-winningworks she had always treasured to the floor before trampling on them.
Soon, all the valuable items in her bedroom had been crushed into pieces.
She glared at Elliot and cursed, "You'll get your retribution one day!"
After venting his fury, Elliot squatted in front of her and showed her a video on his phone. He barked,"Do you think you've destroyed everything? There's still a copy with me."
When Queenie saw herself in the video, she let out a high-pitched shriek.
Seeing that, Elliot guffawed smugly.
All of a sudden, Queenie jumped to her feet and pounced on him like a mad person. However, she wasno match for him. He shoved her to the ground and strode over her body before spitting on her. "Go tohell!"
A long time after Elliot was gone, Queenie remained paralyzed on the floor. She looked at the front withan expressionless face, and her eyes were completely out of focus.
