ra saw Mona walking out and was immediately afraid she didift know what was happening. ra hurriedly said, "Mona, Vespera cut the dress we worked so hard onl


    ra''s tone was filled with anger as she red at Vespera, unable to believe Vespera would actually destroy their dress.


    Monafortingly patted ra on the shoulder and looked at Vespera, asking, "What''s the reason?"


    Vespera met Mona''s gaze, feeling a bit scared but managing to appear calm. "There''s no reason. I''m willing to ept whatever punishment you choose."


    Before deciding to do this, she had mentally prepared herself for any consequences.


    "It''s not about punishment. I just want to know why. What''s going on?" ra shouted thest part.


    Vespera had always been the one who treated her the best in thepany. In ra''s eyes, Vespera was like her sister. So when it came to helping Mona design the dress, Vespera was the first person who came to ra''s mind. But she couldn''t understand why Vespera would ruin the dress they had all worked on together.


    There''s no reason, I just don''t like Mona. Why does she get such an opportunity when she is a green hand? I''ve worked hard for years without any chance. It''s unfair! Is it just because she''s the heiress of the Clem family? Since I can''t have this opportunity, then nobody should have it."


    Vespéra looked resentfully at the dress, but there was a hint of regret in her eyes.


    After hearing Vespera''s words, ra felt like she didn''t know Vespera at all. "Vespera, you''ve gone too far."


    "Wasn''t the fire incidentst time also rted to you?" Mona asked, crossing her arms.


    Her tone was calm, but the cold light in her eyes and her oppressive aura made Vespera shiver involuntarily. She nodded. Since she had destroyed the dress, there was no going back now. Her task was done.


    As soon as Vespera nodded, Mona pped her on the other cheek. Mona''s strength wasparable to ra''s, and in an instant. Vespera had handprints on both cheeks.


    "This is what you owe ra and me," Mona said coldly, looking ar Vespera.


    If this had happened before, ra would have felt heartbroken seeing Vespera treated like this. But now, watching the scene, she felt more anger and wanted to go up and p Vespera again Without wasting more time on Vespera, Mona directly called the police to handle the situation.


    As Vespera was taken away, Mona whispered in her ear, "If you reveal who''s been manipting you, your punishment will be much lighter."


    Of course, she knew the mastermind wasn''t Vespera. If Vespera was willing to be a scapegoat, that was her choice.


    Vespera looked at Mona in surprise, as if everything was under her control, including the ruined dress.


    But upon further reflection, Vespera realized that if she hadn''t fallen asleep in the break room, Mona would havee out to stop her from ruining the dressContent ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Vespera didn''t say anything as the police led her away, giving Mona onest nce.


    After Mona returned inside, she found ra trying to fix the dress, but it was already cut into several pieces by Vespera. It couldn''t be restored.  GT.


    Looking at ra, Mona hesitated but then steeled herself, saying "ra, stop. It''s beyond repair. Just go home and get some Test


    ra looked up, meeting Mona''s gaze, tears welling in her eyes. They had prepared for so long for this dress, only to end up with nothing. "Mona, is there really no way?" ra asked, refusing to give up.


    Mona paused before saying, "Don''t worry. We''ll face whateveres our way. It''ll be fine. Just go home for now


    With a sigh, ra seemed to ept the reality. "Okay, Mona, don''t be sad. Let''s treat this as a lesson. We''ll definitely seed next time."


    broke her heart.


    Mona nodded, looking around to make sure no one was watching. Then she leaned closer to ra and whispered, "Don''t be upset. Get a good night''s sleep. There will be a surprise tomorrow." ra looked up and met Mona''s gaze, wondering if Mona had same ns. Mona nodded in confirmation.


    For some reason, after ra saw Mona nod, the sadness that had just enveloped her faded, reced by a sense of anticipation.


    After ra left, Maxwell arrived to pick up Mona. Seeing the dress on the floor, he didn''t seem too surprised. Instead, he took her hand and silently led her out of The Designscape


    Barbara was, of course, aware of the situation. Sitting on her sofa, she smiled as she read the messages on her phone. Want topete with me, you are still too inexperienced, Barbara thought.


    Vespera''s intentional act of sabotage had already constituted a criminal offense. Although the police hadn''t issued an official statement yet, Vespera''s actions had gained some attention on social media. [It''s shocking! This person''s jealousy is off the charts!]


    And it was Mona who gave her the opportunity. Otherwise, Vespera wouldn''t even have had the chance to work on the dress. How ungrateful she is!]


    [Mona has had her fair share of bad luck. Her design draft was swapped. Otherwise, Artemis might have chosen her design outright. After all the effort she put in to get this opportunity, it''s all slipping away now. It''s heartbroken that her efforts are in vain.] [Agreed! Mona has really had a string of bad luck. She should pray for some blessings!]


    I really hope Artemis can wear the dress designed by Mona. But now it seems like there''s no chance. Artemis will definitely choose Barbara''s dress instead.]


    Mona casually nced through thements, noticing that the situation had garnered quite a bit of attention since it involved the star, Artemis.


    "Still not asleep?" Maxwell asked, seeing Mona ying on her phone in bed. He climbed in beside her.


    Mona set her phone down and smiled at him. "I''m going to sleep now."


    As soon as she spoke, she ced her phone on the bedside table, and Maxwell turned off the light, leaving only a dim glow


    in the room.


    Mona could hear Maxwell''s gentle breathing and quietly said, "Maxwell, thank you for everything this time."


    "No need to thank me, It''s what I should do, Maxwell said.
