Thalassa was thunderstruck; the recorded conversation was an outright setup to frame her!
The voices were familiar, too familiar. Thalassa was certain she knew them both.
She turned to Zoey, her eyes blazing 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 Thalassa could never forget Lance's voice, especially when he was with Zoey. There was no mistaking it!
Zoey, under Thalassa's accusatory 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 play.
Zoey said, “Why should we dance to the tune of the main investor? Can't we just do our own thing?”
At that moment, Zoey genuinely hesitated about going through with their plan.
How could Zoey compete against Thalassa’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 the plan, and you’ll be the champion. After tomorrow, you’ll be a 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.
