Chapter 90
"Arthur,you backed my reality show, but I didn't expect to run into such a phony. I'm so upset. Ms. Worry-Free is a fraud, andI this person is no better."
Ava stormed up to Arthur, laying it all out.
It looked like Ella was just a stand-in and a fake.
She knew she had to put on her best face for the cameras, so even when she cried, she made sure to look pitiful and delicate, always aware of her expressions.
But she didn't notice Arthur's face darkening.
His eyes locked onto Ella. "Got anything to say about this?"
"Nothing to say. If someone makes a claim, they need to back it up with evidence! I don't need to prove myself. I am Ms. Worry-Free!"
Ella's shot statement was strong and confident, with no hint of guilt.
Arthur's eyes flashed. "You're good!"
Their eyes met.
Ella didn't look away. "If you want me out, you need to prove I'm not Ms.Worry-Free, or you owe me an apology. Also, if the show goes on, I want a new model!"
Alan, one of the show's investors, didn't dare make a decision and looked at Arthur.
"We need to look into this! Stop the live broadcast, and we'll give everyone a satisfactory answer."
With that, Arthur turned and left, leaving everyone confused.
Ava was stunned for a moment, full of indignation. "Just wait and see!"
Everyone left, leaving the studio empty.
Lily was so mad she felt like hitting someone. "These people are talking nonsense, daring to slander us!"
"Alright, don't be angry. We just need to prepare for the worst!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"If I'm not mistaken, this was probably orchestrated by Ava, and Andy is just a scapegoat!"
Ava seemed weak and gentle on the surface, but she was actually very cunning and always hid behind others when doing bad things.
Lily nodded in agreement. "Then let's expose them!"
"But Arthur won't let anything happen to Ava!"
"I'm not afraid. At worst, we'll start over. I support you, no matter what you want to do!"
Lily and Ella had been friends for many years and understood each other deeply.
Ella sat at her desk, already prepared for the worst.
Meanwhile, Arthur placed the previously investigated materials in front of him and slammed his fist on the table. Alan was startled. "What are you doing? You scared me!"
"How dare she hide this from me!"
"What happened?"
Alan, not understanding, leaned in to look. The name Worry-Free was particularly prominent.
The materials aIso included many of Worry-Free's previous designs.
The styles were innovative and unique, particularly eye-catching.
When he saw the handwriting, his eyes lit up. "You've always said Ella was a stand-in, but it turns out she is indeed Ms. Worry-Free!"
As soon as he said that, he felt a chill down his neck and shrank back."You didn't know, did you?"
Arthur snorted coldly, his chiseled face covered in a layer of frost.
Alan laughed heartily. "You didn't even know about such a big thing!"
Arthur shot him a cold look, his eyes darkening. "Stop talking nonsense!"
The two had been married for many years. Why did Ella hide this? How much more was she hiding from him?
He irritably lit a cigarette. "How's the investigation going?"
"The other party is very cunning. We found the whistleblower. According to them, someone anonymously sent them that information along with a large sum of money!"
Talking about serious matters, Alan's playful expression turned serious.
He placed the investigation results on the table.
"They used foreign accounts, and the accounts were deleted right after posting. But actions always leave traces. Andy has a foreign background."
The evidence was conclusive.
Andy was the mastermind behind it all. Seeing the amount of money involved, Arthur pressed his temples. "Handle it this way! Have Andy issue an apology statement immediately! This will minimize the impact!"
"Alright, I'll do it right away."
Alan left, and Arthur held Ella's work in his hand, his eyes darkening."Lied to me?"
He put on his coat and turned to leave.
In the studio.
Ella was calculating her personal assets when the door suddenly opened.
Arthur stood at the door, exuding an imposing and aloof presence.
Ella's heart trembled. "I didn't lie! I won't allow anyone to slander Ms.
Worry-Free. I assure you those works were all designed by her!"
As she spoke, she took off her sunglasses.
Their gazes met.
Arthur lowered his head, quickly walked up, and lifted her chin. "Don't you have anything to say?"
Noticing Lily nearby, his eyes darkened as he looked over. "Please leave!" "Alright!"
Sensing the unusual atmosphere, Lily quickly ran out.
The studio was left with just the two of them, and Arthur kissed her forcefully.
The kiss was aggressive, as if he wanted to devour Ella.
As the air in her lungs diminished, Ella struggled, but his strength was overwhelming.
Arthur held her head with one hand, making it impossible to break free.
Just when she thought she was about to suffocate, Arthur reluctantly let her go. "Do you have anything to say now? I hate being lied to the mnost."
His large hand moved to her pussy, his expression playful."Lying comes with a price!"
Arthur slowly leaned in, whispering in her ear.
He licked her ear with his tongue.
The tingling sensation made her body go weak, nearly eliciting a moan from her lips.
"Have you thought it through?"
Arthur's deep, husky voice was filled with endless temptation.
Her body was about to lose control, and Ella panted as she spoke, "What do you want me to say? Ms. Worry-Free is innocent. I can assure you. Don't you believe me?" "I believe you!"
His fingers lightly traced her cheek, while his other hand felt her wetness,his smile deepening. "But right now, in my eyes, you're just a little liar."
The last sentence was spoken slowly, as if hinting at something.
Ella's eyes widened,her petite body enveloped in his shadow.
At some point, their bodies were tightly pressed together with his hands,one on her chest and the other on her pussy.
'If I say the wrong word now, would he take the opportunity to have sex with me?
She took a deep breath. "We must prove Ms. Worry-Free's innocence! And what about your investigation, this matter..."
"This matter was all Andy's doing. I've already had her issue an apology letter.It's over!"
"And what about changing the model?"
"The show's preview has already been released, why bother? I promise to change the model for the next episode!"
The outcome just as expected, Ella's lips curled into a sarcastic smile. "Fine.
I'll attendthe afternoon's runway show on time!"
