VICTORIA'S POV...
I looked up at my fiancee. He smiled at me, his eyes filled with adoration and pride. He leaned forward a little and kissed my head.
His head turned to the people, standing before us and his mood changed immediately from soft to cold.
"I want justice for my wife. If you can't, then I will take my way to do it." His cold tone rolled out of his mouth and if I wasn't on his good side, I would have been shivered by the sight and threat of him.
The CEO of Adornet tried to stay forward. "Sir, we understand what you are saying..."
Aless raised his hand toward them. "The designer belongs to Smith Industries, and this matter is unknown to them, I don't believe it." His vrow raised dangerously.
Well, Aless is a cunning man and he is definitely aware of the dirty politics these people could play.
"Mr Devonte is right. The culprit should be punished. This is a huge scam!" One audience shouted from the side.
"Yes, Miss Edwards should get her justice! What sort of competition is this!? Isn't this exhibition held by the great Rossis? Would they accept this!?"
"That designer should be banished from the industry and so do people behind him!"
"That woman worked her in her work and at the end some scammer will steal her work?! This is ridiculous!"
Once again people talked and this time they are on my side.
It feels good to be honest.
Soon, one bodyguard of ours dragged the designer toward us. "He was trying to escape, sir, ma'am." He bowed to us.
The CEO of Adornet stepped close to the guy, whose face turned pale now. He seemed so scared.
"Mr John, would you please explain your action? We all are waiting." The CEO said coldly.
However, John did not look up but kept his head lowered.
"Mr John, please speak. Why did you do this? If this was a mistake, why didn't you say it?" He asked again, but the guy remained silent.
I highly doubt if this man is even a designer. I realised that he would not talk like this.
"I don't think, it will work like this. Let the police come first and take him away. I am sure, under their punishment, he will open his mouth." I brought out my phone to dial, when,
"No! please! Don't do this!" The guy pleaded with teary eyes and with a smile I lowered my hand.
"Then speak the truth."
He is scared. His face is pale. His eyes were directed to someone as he gulped.
I walked before him, hiding the certain people behind me he is looking at.
"Speak the truth, that might help you to release. If you help those people, they won't suffer, but you." I said indifferently.
