Chapter 1805


    "I''m telling you, I heard it!" Daryl insisted, his tone brooking no argument.


    "Oh, so you must''ve been bribed by Wyatt, then!" Thssa shot back, her words dripping with sarcasm.


    "I''m going to call the cops right now and tell them you''re framing me!" Daryl threatened, whipping out his smartphone as if to dial.


    "Go ahead, make my day," Thssa retorted, unfazed.


    "Enough!" Payton suddenly intervened, his tone firm and serious. "Thssa, in front of all these witnesses, you continue to dodge the truth. Admit your mistake, and I might go easy on you."


    "She doesn''t need your leniency!" From the entrance, a voice rang out, stopping everyone in their tracks.


    They all turned to see a tall, distinguished-looking man walking in, a smile ying around his lips.


    It was Callum!


    Thssa felt a jolt in her heart upon seeing him.


    She remembered overhearing his conversation with Susan outside the interrogation room at the police station. The things they discussed shook her to the core, challenging everything she thought she knew.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    Her breathing became erratic, her body tensed up in defense.


    Callum was not the gentleman he appeared to be on the surface.


    Everyone thought he was a good guy, but in reality, he was a wolf in sheep''s clothing, a heartbreaker!


    What was he doing here now?


    Thssa red at Callum, her bodynguage screaming wariness.


    Lysander, noticing Thssa''s reaction, was taken aback. Even if Thssa hadn''t reciprocated Callum''s affections, shouldn''t they at least be friends? Seeing Callum, why would she react like this?


    "Mr. Gordon, do you have something important to say?" Thssa asked, her voiceced with caution and cold detachment.


    Callum, however, kept his gentle smile, softly saying, "I''m here to reveal the truth."


    With that, Callum took out his phone, opened a recording app, and yed a conversation.


    A male voice said, "This is contestant number three, Thssa''s design. You must replicate it exactly for today."


    A female voice asked, "Why?"


    The man exined, "You''re


    contestant number two. Your model walks the runway first tomorrow. If you use Thssa''s design for the opening, when Thssa''s original pieee follows, it will look like a copy."


    The woman, frustrated, asked, "But why use her design? My work is just as good. Can''t my design beat hers?"


    The man replied, "You saw what


    happened in the semifinals. Thest vote decided everything. Thssa has connections, Rosalind is her


    e


    sister, Lysander is her ex. Thatst vote, no matter what, would go to her Lysander is also attending the finals. Don''t you see?"


    "But this time it''s the audience voting!" the woman protested.


    The man''s voice hardened, "Just do as you''re told. Thises straight from the top investor. It''s not about who wins or loses; it''s abouto ensuring Thssa''s downfall."
