Chapter 210
Just as expected, Mr. Grey’s expression turned icy. “Did Lena really say that?” he asked.
“If she hadn’t, I wouldn’t be this upset, to be honest. Lena thinks she’s untouchable now that she’s got Mr. Green on her side,” Nora said, trying to keep her composure.
There was an eerie silence on the other end of the line.
Nora waited impatiently for a response from Mr. Grey, feeling increasingly uncertain.
“Mr. Grey…”
Before she could finish, Mr. Grey interrupted with a tone of restrained fury, “Don’t worry, Michael can’t blacklist you. Does he really think I’m afraid of him? Wait for my instructions.”
Nora’s face lit up. “Yes, of course!”
But before she could say anything else, the call ended abruptly.
“Mr. Grey, do you really believe what Nora said?” A sultry woman beside him asked, looking up at him with seductive eyes.
Mr. Grey raised an eyebrow. “Why wouldn’t I? Whether Lena spoke ill of me isn’t the point. The important thing is that Evergreen Global clearly trusts her.”
They even gave Lena a long–term partnership.
That’s why he couldn’t believe Judson had truly vanished. This couldn’t be Neil’s decision alone.
Judson must be orchestrating everything from the shadows, directing Neil’s actions.
The woman hesitated, about to speak again when Mr. Grey rose from the bed, her voice tinged with disappointment. “Mr. Grey…”
But he cut her off with a warning glance. “Silence.”
His cold eyes held no warmth.
The woman fell silent immediately, not daring to say another word.
Mr. Grey picked up his robe, wrapped it around himself, and lit a cigarette with a click. As he exhaled a plume of smoke, he dialed a number.
“Sarah, you wanted my help against Lena, right? I’m in, but I want to choose the lead model. Don’t worry; Evergreen Global’s PR won’t interfere this time.”
He was eager to see Lena’s downfall and whether Judson would show up.
“Miss Penny, here’s the second edition of Miss Lena’s finale gown!” Potter handed over the sketches Nancy had prepared.
Penny took them eagerly, and Deanna leaned in for a look too.
“Wow, it’s stunning! It’s like it was made just for you, Penny,” Deanna exclaimed.
Nancy chuckled softly. “Exactly, it was designed with Penny in mind.”
Otherwise, why would she bother with a second version?
Penny blushed a little. “Lena, you put so much effort into this for me. Aren’t you worried your man will get jealous?”
As soon as she mentioned it, Judson gave Penny a mock look of jealousy.

“If you can make this collection a hit, why would Judson be jealous?” Nancy said with a laugh.
Judson beamed, planting a quick kiss on Nancy’s cheek. “Nancy, you’re amazing!”
Penny sighed. She realized something: Lena must be a dog whisperer or something, to have Judson so well–trained.
“Let’s get the other models suited up and ready for a walk–through,” Potter suggested, clearly tired of Nancy and Judson’s public displays of affection.
Nancy nodded slightly, and even Judson was eager to begin.
“Let’s get started,” he urged. The sooner the show started, the sooner it would be over.
The models and actors quickly got to work, moving into action.
Nancy followed them into the dressing room.
Penny, not needing to try on anything, glanced at Michael and Judson sitting together, and casually pulled up a
chair next to them, speaking quietly enough for only them to hear. “So, Evergreen Global, since when did you become Lena’s
“So, Evergreen Global, since when did you become Lena’s husband?”
