Chapter 152 A Sordid Affair

Kate stood on the stage, looking directly at Ruth with a straightforward gaze. Her voice conveyed mockery as she said, “Ruth, do you have anything else to say now?”

Ruth clenched her fists tightly. She felt that the people around her looked at her with mockery and disgust. However, she took a deep breath and said in a muffled voice, “Kate, I have nothing to say.”

Her eyes reddened, and she choked, “I … I know I can’t compare to you in anything. Whether it’s family background or connections, I can’t compare to you.

“Let’s just say… I plagiarised, I stole your design draft.”

Ruth’s voice was filled with extreme grievance. She collapsed into her seat with a wretched smile, two streams of clear tears running down her face.

On stage, Kate raised her eyebrows. She looked coldly at Ruth, the mockery in her heart growing

even stronger.

It seems that Ruth still has a trick up her sleeve. I wonder what it could be. Hmph … No matter what it is, I can handle it!

“Contestant No. 9, what do you mean by that? What do you mean, ‘Let’s just say I stole your design draft‘? What’s yours is yours!”

A middle–aged man on the judging panel furrowed his brows and spoke up. His cold and authoritative gaze first landed on Kate and then on Ruth. With a firm and powerful voice, he said, “If there is any hidden truth, feel free to reveal it!”

At this moment, a designer looked at Kate, furrowing his brows as he spoke, “Are you Kate? The young lady of the Lowe Group, the wife of Eric, the CEO of Davison Group, Kate Lowe?”

Kate looked calmly at the people below the stage and nodded. “That’s right, I am Kate Lowe. What? Do you think I’m using my status to suppress and overpower Ruth?”

“Isn’t that what you’re doing?”

Suddenly, a reporter in the audience spoke up excitedly, holding a camera in his hand. His eyes were full of coldness and disdain as he looked at Kate. “Ms. Lowe, isn’t it true that you can drop into the final of the International Design Competition all because of Miles? Huh!”

His gaze then turned to Eric, his voice cold and heavily tinged with mockery. “I wonder if Mr. Davison knows the sordid affair between you and Miles!”

This statement directly attacked Kate, Eric, and Miles.

Kate’s gaze turned suddenly cold, her voice icy and her sharp gaze directly fixed on the reporter. She asked, “What do you mean?”

said firmly. “This is slander! You need evidence to speak. What do you mean by a sordid affair? Explain yourself!”

Eric’s cold gaze instantly locked onto the reporter, his voice carrying an icy chill. He said, “Baseless accusations deserve severe consequences. I wouldn’t mind having your tongue cut out if you continue to speak without evidence.”

The reporter was chilled by these three icy, sharp gazes, especially Eric’s. However, he took a deep breath and raised the camera in his hand, declaring loudly, “The photos inside this camera are the evidence!”

He disregarded everyone’s objections and made his way to the stage, then inserted the memory card from his camera into a USB drive. He closed the design draft of Kate’s and opened photo after photo from his camera.

Those photos …

They were all photos of Kate and Miles together!

There were still photos of them together but in different locations.

There were photos of them together in the office, in a restaurant, on the street, at the seaside, and even … in bed!

He displayed each photo on the big screen, showing Miles and Kate in intimate and ambiguous

poses.
