As soon as Bella ended the call, she turned to see Elizabeth standing at the doorway.
With medicine and water, Elizabeth walked in and said, “It’s time for your medicine.”
Bella responded nonchalantly and looked down, completely oblivious to the malicious glare in Elizabeth’s eyes.
Elizabeth had overheard almost the entire video chat.
As Elizabeth anticipated, Devyn proved to be utterly worthless. Just a few words from Stella were all it took to shut her down completely.
Devyn was indeed a drain on her resources and time!
Moreover, Bella even planned to attend Stella’s wedding!
Elizabeth struggled to contain her anger. She placed the medicine and water on the table and asked softly, “Is everything resolved with Stella?”

Bella smiled and replied, “Yes, it’s all sorted out. I was wrong about Stella earlier. The true plagiarist is Devyn.”
Bella’s face hardened and her voice deepened. “As a designer, Devyn is clueless about her work. It’s obvious to me that she’s a plagiarist.”
Elizabeth silently cursed Devyn, and then asked, “What will you do now?”
Bella declared, “Now that I know the truth, it’s only right to announce the real winner and treat Stella fairly.”
“That’s right.” Elizabeth nodded, feeling the sharp pain of her nails digging into her palm. She was powerless to influence Bella.
It seemed she needed to find another approach.

After the video chat, Devyn collapsed on the couch, drained.
It was all over… She stood no chance.
At that moment, her phone rang.
When she saw Nikolai’s name, hope flickered within her.
There was still a possibility. If she could work with Nikolai and if Christie appreciated the wedding dress she designed, she might save her reputation!
Devyn picked up the phone instantly and asked eagerly, “Mr. Todd, has Christie agreed to sign the contract with me?”
On the other end, Nikolai’s voice was cool and detached.
“Miss Padilla, I’m calling to tell you that Christie has decided to end the collaboration with you.”
“What?” Devyn was stunned, struggling to catch her breath.
Incredulously, she responded, “But she liked the second draft I sent, didn’t she? Why has she decided against working with me so suddenly?”
