Chapter 72

in the vast exhibition hall, the audience became excited. They all wanted to see the three people stowing in their own juices

Douglas locked at Stephanie and said, “You’re so malicious Flore has already fainted. Why won’t you let her go?”

“Fainted?” Stephanie snorted. She slowly stood up, took out an iron box from her handbag, and took out a thin and long silver needle. “I’m particularly skilled at treating this kind of illness at critical moments. Giovannil”

Glovanni understood instantly and pushed Douglas to the ground with his knee.

Squatting next to Florence, Stephanie said, “Did you know that p**g the head or neck with a silver needle can wake you up? Where would you like to be p**d?”

Stephanie smiled sinisterly as she slowly aimed at the spot between Florence’s eyebrows.

Florence’s breathing quickened as she felt something approaching. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and shouted, “Nol”

Stephanie laughed and withdrew the needle. “If you didn’t pretend to be unconscious, I wouldn’t have had to test you.”

Stephanic stood up and glared coldly at Florence. “Come on, don’t keep everyone waiting. You must fulfill your promise, even if you cry!”

Florence crawled and knelt in front of her “Stephie

Stephanie tapped her fingers impatiently while sitting in a chair, stating, “I don’t have such a shameless sister! My patience is limited!”

At this moment, Stephanie’s phone vibrated. She picked it up and saw that it was Matilda’s number. She didn’t remember it intentionally, but it was because of her excellent memory.

Stephanie tapped the speaker as she answered the call and heard Matilda’s sarcastic voice.

“B**h, how dare you ask my daughter to kneel in front of you! Don’t you want to see that old geezer? Do you believe that I’ll end him now? Confess that you plagiarized Flore’s work and bow down to her thirty times, or I’ll ensure that old geezer won’t live to see tomorrow! Do you hear me?”

Florence was terrified. She didn’t expect Stephanie to put Matilda on speaker. Matilda was consumed by anger and spoke without thinking

“Mom, please don’t” Before Florence could finish her words, Stephanie hung up.

Stephanie looked at Florence and said, “Finish it quickly and remind your mother not to do anything foolish.”

Worried that Matilda would do something bad to Austin, Florence began to bow.

“With more respect, please,” Stephanie sarcastically said. Florence gnashed her teeth in hatred and began to bow.

At the same time, in the villa of the Hayes manor, an enraged Matilda yelled, “D**n it! How dare she ask my daughter to bow to her? I’m going to end hert Where is that old geezer? I’m going to end him to make that b**h suffer!”

Horace had gone to the bathroom, but when he returned, he saw Matilda acting strangely. “What happened?” asked Horace.

Pointing at the TV, Matilda yelled, “Look at that b**h! How dare she a

ask Flore to bow to her! I’m going to end her!”

Seeing Florence bowing to Stephanie on the screen, Horace felt uneasy.

“Withough Florence plagiarized and even made a bet, couldn’t Stephanie show some mercy? Why does she have to embarrass her in public? This is excessive!’ he thought

Matilda grabbed his arms and said, “I’m going to avenge Floret Horace, that b**h cares about the old geezer the most! Let’s teach Stephanie a lesson now and let her know how powerful we fel

After all, Austint was the Horace’s father. He couldn’t bring himself to harm him.

low about we wait a little longer and discuss with Stephanie if we can hold a press conference to clarify the facts about Flore?” asked Horace.

Matilda angrily hit Horace. “impossiblet My daughter has been bullied to this extent, and you still want to discuss things with Stephanie?”

Horace sighed, “Go easy on him, then.”

As Matilda angrily went upstairs, there was a knock on the door. “Police, open the door!”

Matilda and Horace were shocked, wondering why the police were there.

After the housekeeper opened the door, ten policemen filed in

With a search warrant in hand, the captain said, “Someone reported that you’re mistreating the elderly. Relevant incidents have occurred before, so we have to check their condition now.”

Horace took a deep breath, “We’d never mistreat the elderly. My father is in his room. I’ll take you to see him.”

Horace took the group of police upstairs and knocked on the door, but no one answered. He smiled, “Maybe he’s asleep. He’s been experiencing severe drowsiness since his brain injury. I’ll open the door for you all to have a look.

Horace pushed the door open and led the police in. Then he saw Austin lying motionless on the bed with bruises on his face.

Noticing that something was wrong, Horace immediately stepped forward to check Austin’s breathing.

There was no breathing.

Horace then placed his hand on Austin’s neck, detecting no pulse. The glanced at the policeman who said, “The man has stopped breathing. Hurry, take him to the hospital first and send everyone in the mansion to the police station!”

Before Horace figured out what was going on, he was handcuffed by the police.

Sirens blared as one car was headed for the hospital while the rest made for the police station.

After bowing thirty times, Florence stood up and was about to leave the exhibition hall.

Looking at her unhappy face, Stephanie couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re suspected of plagiarizing my work. I’ve called the police,”

Florence hated Stephanie so much. “How could you be so excessive!

“You plagiarized my work, bet to bow to me if you lost, and now you say I’m too excessive?” Stephanie’s expression darkened. “You’re despicably shameless!”

Florence frowned. “What do you mean!!

Giovanni laughed. “She said you’re despicably shameless!”

Florence was so infuriated that she wanted to leave but was stopped by the bodyguards.

Giovanni forced Douglas up and said, “Mr. Fletcher, as the old saying goes, “one shall uphold their promises. It’s time for you to fulfill the bell”

Naturally, Douglas didn’t want to bow, so Giovanni had to force him

do it alone later,”

Turning to Alicia, Stephanie said, “Come on, you can’t escape.

Bow

now while everyone’s attention is still on Douglas. It will be more embarrassing if you

Alicia cried while bowing

Chapter 72

Stephanie knew that someone would ask her to be easy on them. However, she knew what was right. After all, one couldn’t preach kindness if one didn’t understand the struggles others have faced.

In her previous life, she died a tragic death, her grandfather died miserably, and Vincent also died for her.

In this life, Douglas still intended to harm Vincent. Why did these people deserve to live a better life? She was no saint, so she must take revengel

Douglas was dizzy but still managed to glare at Stephanie.

Alicia also looked at Stephanie and said, “I’m done.”

“Ms. Jekins. I’ve been counting. You’ve one more to go.” Stephanie reminded.

Alicia finished the last bow. “We’re still colleagues. Can’t you spare me

and not

sue me for infringement?”

Stephanie chuckled, “I’m sorry, but I never forgive anyone who betrays or hurts me.”

Her phone vibrated. After seeing that it was Vincent, she answered it immediately. “Vincent.”

Hearing the news, Stephanie’s expression darkened. She hung up the phone and looked at her coldly. “Grandpa passed away, all because of your parents. Florence, you’ll rot in jail with your parents and atone for your sins!”

Florence shook her head in disbelief. “It’s impossible! Absolutely impossible!”

Giovanni snorted. “Everyone in the hall just heard that your mother was going to kill Austin. They’re all witnesses.”

Florence s**d back and fell to the ground. Douglas was soberer now. He was also surprised that Horace and Matilda harmed Austin.

Glaring at Florence, Stephanie left with Giovanni

At the same time, six policemen arrived quickly. “Fantasy Boutique is suspected of infringement. The complainant has filed a case against you. You three and your design team need to go to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.”

Soon, the police took the involved individuals away.

The host, Dason, stepped onto the stage, forced a smile, and said, “I didn’t expect such an incident to happen at this year’s product launch, but the competition isn’t over yet. We still need to select the top two brands to represent our country in the international competition”

“Wait a minute!” said Julianna,

Dason asked, “Ms. Saunders, is there anything I may i

y assist

t you with?”

Julianna took the microphone and announced, “As expected, Florence’s plagiarism was not our most satisfactory work. Now, let’s welcome our models to showcase the new products of Starlight Design Studio.”

On the other end, Stephanie and Giovanni drove to the hospital. After twenty minutes, they saw Austin’s body in the morgue.
