Chapter 72 The Old Man Passed Away
In the spacious exhibition hall, all the audience members became excited.
They all wanted to see these three people entangle themselves and reap what they had sown.
Nelson looked up at Zoey and said, “Zoey, you are truly
malicious. Ariana has already fainted, why haven’t you let her go?”
“Fainted?” Zoey chuckled lightly, slowly getting up from her seat and retrieving an iron box from her handbag. From it, she took out a thin and long silver needle. “I am particularly skilled at treating illnesses where people faint at critical moments. Roland!”
Roland instantly understood and pinned Nelson to the ground, pressing his knee firmly against him.
Zoey squatted beside Ariana and said, “Ariana, silver needles can be used to wake someone up when they are inserted into the head or neck. Where do you want to be pricked?”
Zoey’s lips curled into a wicked smile as she slowly stabbed towards her brow with a sinister intention.
Ariana felt something approaching, her breathing started to. quicken, and she suddenly opened her eyes and shouted, “No!”
Zoey smiled and took the needle, “If you don’t play dead, I won’t have to test you.”

She stood up and coldly stared at Ariana, “Come on, don’t make me wait, and don’t make everyone else wait. You said it yourself, even if you have to cry, you have to finish it!”
Ariana got up and knelt in front of Zoey, “Zoey…”
Zoey sat on the chair, tapping her fingers lightly, “I did not have
such shameless sister! My patience was limited!”
At that moment, Zoey’s phone vibrated.
She picked it up and saw that it was Dahlia’s number.
She didn’t really mean to remember, blame it on her good
memory.
Her fingertips glided lightly as she simultaneously clicked on the speaker, and Dahlia’s sharp and sarcastic voice came through.
“You scum, how dare you make my daughter kneel to you! Do you not want to see your grandfather, that old bastard, alive anymore? Do you believe that I can kill him right now? You better confess that you plagiarized Ariana and kneel before her with thirty kowtows, or else I will make sure that old bastard doesn’t see the sun tomorrow! Do you hear what I’m saying…”
Ariana was extremely terrified when Zoey unexpectedly blurted out, and Dahlia, still upset from the previous scene, spoke without thinking.
“Mom, don’t…”
Ariana had not finished speaking the words she wanted to remind Dahlia of when Zoey hung up the phone.
She looked at Ariana and said, “Finish it quickly and then remind

your mom not to do anything foolish.”
Ariana was very worried that Dahlia would really harm the old man, so she started kowtowing.
“No response?”
Ariana was so furious that her teeth itched. She started banging her head repeatedly.
Meanwhile, the Harmon’s villa.
Dahlia, who had already gone mad, screamed, “This damn bitch, why doesn’t she just die! How dare she make my daughter kowtow to her? I’m going to kill her! And that old bastard? I’ll make him suffer and kill him!”
Jordan went to the bathroom, but to his surprise, when he came back, he saw Dahlia acting crazy.
“What happened? What is this?”
Dahlia pointed at the TV and said, “Look, that bitch Zoey actually made Ariana kowtow to her, ahhhh! I can’t take it anymore, I want to kill her!”
Jordan watched as Ariana repeatedly knocked her head against Zoey’s screen, feeling uneasy in his heart.
Although his daughter plagiarized and made a bet, Zoey couldn’t just turn a blind eye and had to embarrass her publicly?
It was absolutely outrageous!
Dahlia grabbed Jordan’s arm with both hands and said, “I want to vent my anger on Ariana! Jordan, that bitch Zoey cares the

most about that old man! Let’s go teach him a lesson right now and make that dead bitch Zoey know how powerful we are!”
After all, the old man is Jordan’s father, so unless absolutely necessary, he really couldn’t bring himself to do it.
“Shall we wait a bit longer and consult with Zoey to see if we can hold a press conference to clarify Ariana?”
Dahlia angrily pounded the man, “What has my daughter been bullied into? No way!”
Jordan sighed, “Then please be gentle when you hit.”
Just as Dahlia angrily climbed up the stairs, there came a knocking at the door.
“Police, open the door!”
Dahlia and Jordan were shocked, how could the police have
come.
After the servant opened the door, ten policemen entered in single file.
Captain Kade Wilcox of the Criminal Police Team held a search warrant and said, “Someone has reported that you have been abusing the elderly. There have been previous incidents related to this, so we now need to examine the condition of the elderly.”
Jordan took a deep breath and said, “How could we possibly abuse the elderly? Absolutely not! My father is in his own room, I’ll take you to see.”
He led a group of police officers up the stairs.

He knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.
He smiled and said, “Maybe he fell asleep. Ever since he suffered a brain injury, he has been excessively sleepy. Let me open the door for you to have a look.”
He pushed open the door, walked in with the police, and then saw the old man lying motionless on the bed with a pale face.
Kade sensed something was wrong and immediately
approached, raising his hand to the old man’s nose.
No breath!
He reached out and felt the old man’s neck, but there was no pulse.
He looked at the police behind him and said, “The old man is not breathing. Hurry up and take him to the hospital first, and bring everyone in the villa back to the police station!”
Jordan was handcuffed by the police before he could figure out the situation.
The police sirens sounded, and a car drove towards the hospital, while the rest of the cars drove towards the police station.
Exhibition Hall.
After Ariana finished knocking her head thirty times, she stood up and left.
Zoey looked at her red forehead and couldn’t help but chuckle, “You are suspected of plagiarizing my work, and I have already reported it to the police.”

Ariana hated Zoey so much, “Zoey, how could you be so rude!”
“Was I excessive? Copying my work and then betting with me to apologize if you lost? Zoey’s face turned serious. “Ariana, you really are an old lady relying on others for survival!”
Ariana frowned and asked, “What does that mean?”
Roland laughed and said, “How despicable and shameless!”
Ariana was furious and wanted to leave, but she was stopped by the bodyguard.
Roland lifted Nelson and said, “Mr. Maddox, there is a saying that goes, ‘Once a man’s words are spoken, it is difficult to go back on them. It’s time for you to fulfill the bet!”
Nelson naturally refused to kowtow, so Roland held him down and knocked his head against the ground, making a particularly loud sound.
Zoey looked at Jayleen and said, “Come on, you can’t run away.
If
you do it now, everyone’s attention will still be focused on Nelson. But if you do it alone later, it will look even worse.”
Jayleen knelt down and kowtowed while crying.
Zoey knew for sure that there would be people jumping out to say that she didn’t know what it meant to be forgiving and merciful.
However, she didn’t need anyone to teach her how to be a
person.
After all, without experiencing hardships oneself, one cannot advise others to do good.

Nelson was dazed and confused from the blow, but he didn’t forget to glare fiercely at Zoey.
Jayleen finished and looked at Zoey, “I finished.”
Zoey reminded, “Ms. Neal, I was checking, and there is still one missing.”
Jayleen cried and sobbed after finishing the last one, “Zoey, at least we were colleagues once, can you spare me and not sue me for copyright infringement?”
Zoey chuckled lightly and said, “Sorry, but in my dictionary, there has never been the word ‘forgiveness‘ for betrayers or those who hurt me!”
Zoey’s phone vibrated, and when she saw that it was Russell, she quickly answered.
“Russell.”
After hearing the other person’s words, Zoey’s face instantly darkened. She hung up the phone and looked at Ariana with. cold eyes, “Grandpa is gone, and it’s your parents who killed him! Ariana, go to jail with your parents to atone for their sins!”
Ariana shook her head in astonishment, “Impossible, absolutely

impossible!”
Roland snorted, “Just now, everyone in the hall heard your mother say she wanted to kill the old man. They are all witnesses!”
Ariana stumbled backwards and fell to the ground.
Nelson was also much more sober at the moment, and he was also surprised. He didn’t expect that the Harmon couple would actually go after the old man.
Zoey glared at Ariana and quickly left with Roland.
At the same time, six police officers walked briskly. “Born Beauty is suspected of infringement, and the complainant has already filed a lawsuit against you. The three of you and the design team need to go to the police station to cooperate with the investigation!”
Soon, the police took the suspects away.
Host Leandro stepped onto the stage and tugged at the corner of his mouth. “I didn’t expect such an incident to happen at this year’s new product launch event, but the competition is not over yet. We still need to select the top two brand representatives from our country to participate in the international
competition…”
“Wait a moment!” Leanna walked up to the stage.
Leandro asked, “Ms. Spence, do you have any further instructions?”
Leanna took the microphone and said, “The Ariana plagiarism

incident was within our expectations. In fact, that collection of works was not our most satisfactory. Now, please allow our models to showcase the new products brought by Galaxy Studio.”
On the other side, Zoey and Roland drove to the hospital.
Twenty minutes later, they saw the old man’s body in the
morgue.
