Chapter 1806


    Thssa was thunderstruck; the recorded conversation was an outright setup to frame her!


    The voices were familiar, too familiar. Thssa was certain she knew them both.


    She turned to Zoey, her eyes zing with disbelief and rage.


    The man''s voice... it hit her. It was Lance, Zoey''s boyfriend!


    She had only met Lance once at their graduation party, heard him speak just that one time, but Thssa could never forget Lance''s voice, especially when he was with Zoey. There was no mistaking it!


    Zoey, under Thssa''s usatory gaze, lowered her head, her eyes darting everywhere, clearly panicked.


    Her hands clenched, her thoughts a tangled mess.


    What was Lance thinking? Hadn''t he promised there would be no trace, that nobody would ever find out?


    Why was there a recording?


    The tension in the room was palpable as the recording continued to y.

    At that moment, Zoey genuinely hesitated about going through with their n.


    Lance replied, "Zoey, haven''t you


    always wanted to make a name for yourself? You''ve been designing for years, but you''re still unknown. Thispetition is your chance to shine. It''s being broadcast live, covered by media nationwide, spotlighting the winner. If you win, not only will the Whole country recognize your name, but you could also make waves internationally. This is your shot at fame!"


    Zoey protested, "But why can''t I dream of winning on my own merits?"


    Lance countered, "I''ve already

    Zoey was torn, her passion for design shing with the harsh reality of her situation.


    Thispetition represented a golden opportunity for recognition.


    Missing it could mean waiting indefinitely for another chance to emerge from obscurity.


    Lance was right. Thssa had the support of the Sinir Group and Lysander, a once-dominant powerhouse in the industry.


    How could Zoeypete against Thssa''s connections, especially when she hadn''t even secured the top spot in the semifinals? After a brief pause, Zoey made up her mind, “Okay, I''ll start working on it right away. Make sure I win tomorrow."


    Zoey had her own design ready, and she had the means to produce jewelry. Replicating a set of jewels was no big deal for her.


    Lance reassured her, "Just follow

    world-renowned jewelry designer."


    That assurance sealed the deal for Zoey, and she went on to replicate the jewelry Lance had provided her.


    As the recording ended, all eyes in the room turned to Zoey.
