The double doors of the exhibition hall were opened, and two bodyguards escorted a woman of about fifty years old inside.
Zoey looked at Ariana, who tried to appear calm but panic was already evident in her eyes.
She smiled and asked, “Were you nervous?”
Ariana immediately retorted, raising her voice, “How is that possible! I didn’t even know this woman, what does she have to do with me!”
Zoey sighed, “You really don’t know this woman, after all, it was Mrs. Harmon who personally contacted her.”
Ariana clenched the skirt by her side, “Don’t talk nonsense! Don’t falsely accuse my mother of crimes she didn’t commit! Zoey, we are sisters after all, why are you lying with a clear conscience and trying to frame our mother?”
Zoey shrugged, “Did I lie? Accuse? If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it!”
The bodyguard escorted the woman onto the stage.
The woman looked up and saw a sea of people below.
Zoey’s face darkened, “To tell you the truth, if you ever tell even the slightest lie, I will personally sue you to the fullest extent on behalf of Galaxy Studio!”

In the originally bustling exhibition hall, there was suddenly silence.
The woman spoke, her voice echoing in the hall.
“I used to work as a janitor at Galaxy Studio. A week ago, a man wearing a duckbill cap and a mask approached me and asked me to take pictures of Ms. Harmon’s sketches. He promised to pay me 800,000 if I succeeded. I was in desperate need of money, so I agreed. That night, the power went out, so I went to Ms. Harmon’s office to take photos and later sent them to the man. The next day, I resigned due to feeling unwell, and in the afternoon, I was escorted out of Woodmerrow. I never expected to be arrested and brought back just two days later. I’m telling the truth!”
Ariana seemed relieved, “This doesn’t prove anything. The person who hired her is a man. What does that have to do with my mom?”
“What a great question,” Zoey applauded, “Now, let’s welcome the man with the duckbill cap to the stage.”
The crowd’s gaze turned towards the entrance of the hall again, as two bodyguards escorted two men wearing duckbill caps and masks onto the stage.
Zoey asked the woman, “Was it him who met you at that time?”
The woman looked carefully and nodded repeatedly, “It’s him, because he has a mole at the position of his Adam’s apple, not many people have moles in that area.”
The bodyguard pulled off the man’s hat and mask, revealing his face.

This is Korbin Sherman, the son of the Harmon family’s butler.
Korbin saw Ariana, with a bitter expression on his face. “Ms. Harmon, please help me. I have been working for the lady, and you have been ignoring me!”
Ariana pursed her lips and said, “I didn’t know you!”
“I was the butler’s son of the Harmon family! How could you possibly not recognize me!”
Ariana shook her head, “No, it must have been Zoey who bribed you!”
Korbin said, “I have chat records with Madam, photos of
sketches, and transfer records in my phone, and the dates on them can serve as evidence!”
The bodyguard handed his phone to Zoey, who registered the departing accounts on her laptop and displayed all the evidence.
Everyone sighed with regret.
“It was all clear at a glance!”
“He repeatedly claimed to be the original creator of tonight’s work, and even said that the design director and design team collaborated together! The entire staff of Born Beauty Clothing are all liars!”
“Moreover, Zoey was being aggressive and did such despicable things, yet she wouldn’t allow others to speak up? Truly
shameless!”
“It was enough for Zoey to have her own sister, her biological

mother, teaming up against her! Otherwise, Zoey would have cut ties with the Harmon family!”
“I finally understood what Zoey said off the field. The thief had developed a habit of stealing, and it was only a matter of time before he was exposed. It turns out she had a hidden meaning, it seems she had already known all the twists and turns in this, and was just waiting to give him a big slap in the face!”
“Yes, Ariana claimed that she meticulously created the sketches herself. When people questioned her creative process, suggesting that she came up with the ideas while in a mental hospital, she even said that she worked on them day and night. She really has a lot of nerve, stealing someone else’s hard work!”
“People were made to be silent, and their artwork was stolen, so all those sketches from Born Beauty that were previously attributed to Ariana were actually drawn by Zoey!”
“That’s for sure! Ariana would definitely plagiarize and cheat, what else can she do?”
“She used to do photo editing! In some dramas, when she couldn’t be there in person, she would do photo editing. It’s like they think everyone is a fool!”
***
Ariana glared fiercely at Zoey, her eyes filled with hatred.
Zoey smirked and said, “Do you still want to explain anything?”
Áriana whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Zoey, did you disregard Grandpa?”

“Threaten me?” Zoey blinked her eyes, “I was so scared!”
Ariana said, “As long as you deny this matter, grandpa will be fine. Otherwise, don’t expect to see him again!”
Zoey squinted at her.
The audience below focused their gaze on the two individuals.
Eyes filled with intense anger and hatred.
A lazy playfulness, full of disdain in the eyes.
At this moment, the air was unusually quiet.
A loud bang.
Ariana’s face was hit by Zoey.
She looked at Zoey in disbelief, and then she became angry and raised her hand to slap Zoey’s face.
I saw Zoey grab his wrist and then deliver a loud slap on the other side of his face.
Slap, slap, slap, slap, four more slaps.
The audience below the stage were all bewildered.
Madeleine’s assistant opened her mouth and said, “This is, too cool! It feels so refreshing!”
Madeleine curved her lips and said, “Ariana is the kind of person who deserves to be punched!”
Nelson couldn’t stand it anymore, but not because Zoey hit

Ariana, but because of the previous bet.
He wanted to slip away quietly, but he was unexpectedly stopped by Zoey.
“Mr. Maddox was just on the red carpet, but he made a bet with Ariana and Jayleen. If they lost to me, each of them would have to kowtow to me thirty times. Now it’s time to fulfill the bet!”
Nelson’s eyes were fierce, and he gritted his teeth hard. “Zoey, you shouldn’t push your luck!”
Zoey sneered, “Do I have to take advantage of the situation? Wasn’t it you who said that the loser should kowtow thirty times? Now you’re not admitting it? All the reporters, media, and friends outside the field have captured it, and it was also
broadcasted live. The vast majority of netizens also know that you said those words.”
Ariana covered her face with both hands, her eyes filled with a mixture of hatred and timidity, “It was just a joke back then.”
Jayleen in the audience also chimed in, “Yeah, but it’s just a joke. Who would actually make someone kowtow!”
Zoey crossed her arms over her chest and said, “If I had lost today, the ones who would be smugly watching me bow down right now would be you three! I’m not a saint, I don’t have time to listen to you guys blabbering here. Roland!”
Roland carried a chair onto the stage and said, “Zoey, please sit!”
Zoey sat down, crossed her legs, placed her hands on the armrests, and said, “Let’s knock!”

Roland lifted his foot and kicked Ariana in the knee pit, causing her to kneel down in pain.
Zoey was like a queen looking down on ants, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
Ariana teary–eyed, “Zoey, did you really have to push me like this? After all, we came from the same womb!”
“Don’t play emotional cards here. Since the day I cut ties with the Harmon family, there has been no relationship between you and me!”
Ariana sobbed as she looked at the audience below, all
watching the commotion, not a single person stepping forward to speak up for her.
She broke down and cried heavily, and then she passed out.
Nelson’s eyes rolled, and he rushed to the stage, crouching down to embrace Ariana. He accused Zoey, “Who can claim to be without fault? How narrow–minded are you, insisting on seeing your own blood sister kneel before you just so you can feel at ease?”
Jayleen also agreed, “Yeah, Ariana also said that if Zoey lost, she would cancel that bet.”
Zoey chuckled, “Do you want to morally blackmail me? Sorry, I have no morals, no one can morally blackmail me! And Jayleen, you said Ariana assumed that I would cancel the bet if I lost, where does she get the nerve to say I would lose! Plagiarism dogs can’t escape today! Today you all have to knock, whether you like it or not!”
