Chapter 1642

Just as the live stream was about to end, Stella and Matthew appeared together in front of the camera.

Stella was the first to speak, calmly explaining herself, “I would like to apologize for the recent events which have been quite controversial online.

I believe that the details that I’ve put into the irises series are proof that I’ve been working on it for quite a while now.

My original intention had been to debut them at my wedding, but so as to clear my name, I had no option but to release them now.

”

Stella paused for a moment to clear her throat before continuing in a more serious voice, “For those still in doubt about the originality of my works despite clear proofs that I didn’t plagiarize anyone and that my works are one hundred percent mine, I will urge you to be careful with the way you express yourself.

If anyone should insult me, my relatives, and friends again, we will stop at nothing to ensure that the offending individual faces the full wrath of the law.

”

As she spoke, the viewers flooded the comment section with supportive messages and emojis.

When she was done speaking, Matthew smiled softly and said, “Prosperity Group would like everyone to know that we are fully supportive of Stella and all her decisions.

”

With that, the live stream ended and Stella, seeing the supportive comments, let out a sigh of relief.

Matthew hugged her and whispered, “Thanks for all the hard work and dedication that you’ve put in these past few days.

”

When he released her, Stella stood on tiptoe, ki*sed him on the cheek, and said, “I should be the one thanking you for standing by me this time.

I believe we’ve solved this trouble fully, right?”

Matthew nodded as he narrowed his eyes and asked, “Well then, what’s your plan regarding Devyn now that everything’s settled?”

Hearing Devyn’s name, Stella sighed softly and lowered her head.

After a few seconds of silence, she looked back up and said, “Let’s be patient for some time, okay? Once Bella displays the work of the winner, everyone will be aware of the truth and we’ll then decide what our next move should be.

”

Matthew nodded in agreement and said, “Alright then, we’ll wait for the work to be re

leased and for your innocence to become clear to anyone still in doubt about you.

”

At that moment, a call came in on Stella’s phone.

She frowned at Matthew suspiciously and then took out her phone from her pocket.

Seeing that her caller was none other than Bella, Stella widened her eyes in surprise as she quickly answered the call and called out, “Bella!”

Stella, all friendly-like, greeted Bella but felt jittery right after.

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

Bella, being straight up, confessed, “I caught your live show.

Your new series is pretty darn good.

I changed my mind on that design you submitted.

”

Stella’s heart did a happy dance hearing that.

Worried she might be getting the wrong vibe, Stella cautiously prodded, “So, uh, you mean?”

Bella cut to the chase.

“I want to Zoom with you and Devyn.

I want to hear your thoughts straight from the horse’s mouth.

”

Stella agreed, “Sure thing! Thanks for giving me another shot.

”

Bella didn’t say more.

She hung up and rang Devyn, filling her in on the plan.

But after the call, Devyn freaked out big time.

She paced at home, clueless about Bella’s sudden move.
