BuzzNovelBoth women turned to look at the screen at the stime, their attention quickly followed by everyone else in
the room. Yet for sreason, a wave of unease
washed over Sienna.
She glanced at Queenie, only to find Queenie already watching her. Queenie’s lips curled into a faint smile, and
Sienna felt a cold sweat break out down her back as she hurriedly averted her eyes.
There was no way. That assistant had been sent out of the country overnight-it was impossible, absolutely
impossible!
The entire hall was plunged into darkness, save for the glow of the big screen.
Awe Studios’ logo appeared, the unmistakable emblem of Queenie’s company.
Music swelled, and the promotional video for the Tree of Life Collection began to play.
As the audience noticed the similar color palettes and the almost identical collection names, a murmur of
speculation rippled through the crowd. People leaned in to whisper to their neighbors, while more than a few
reporters, sensing scandal in the air, trained their cameras directly on Queenie seated in the very las
row.
“Whose showcase is this?” Fortune whispered, a sinking feeling in her gut. But
Sienna had no tfor doubts now.
“Turn it off! Shut it down, now!” Panic crept into Sienna’s voice as she yanked the power cord from the computer,
shutting it off. But the screen remained unchanged-the video kept playing as if nothing had happened.
“What are you all standing around for? Shut it off!” Sienna shouted. Only then did her staff snap out of their

Unfortunately, they flailed like headless chickens, unable to do anything about the screen. Meanwhile, in the
control room, Stella lounged back with her legs crossed, calmly munching on an apple as she watched the chaos
unfold on the security
monitors.
“Useless idiots,” Sienna’s voice echoed through the hall, drawing irritated frowns from more than a few guests.
“Get a grip! Are you trying to make things worse?” Fortune hissed, gripping her arm. Sienna shook her off with a
furious glare.

She was used to having her way-no one ever dared defy her. Now, humiliated in front of everyone at her own
event, how could she possibly keep her composure?
Thankfully, the promo video finally ended, but before either of them could breathe a sigh of relief, a new video-
this one heavily censored-flashed onto the screen.
A woman sat nervously, fidgeting with her hands. Her face was blurred, but her voice remained clear and
unmistakable.
Sienna’s eyes went wide with shock. “No... it can’t be. She’s supposed to be out of the country! How did Queenie
find her? This is impossible!”
She lunged toward the screen, so fast that Fortune couldn't hold her back.

“Who are you?” appeared on the screen.
“I'm one of the designers at Awe Studios,” the blurred woman replied.
“What did you do?” Each question popped up before the last could be fully answered.
“I... I...” The woman stammered, anxiously picking at her fingers, her unease painfully obvious.
“Why did you leak the design drafts to a competitor?”
