Chapter 235 Fake Jewelry
As Todd looked at the man on the ground, his face turned dark and it was unlike his usual demeanor. Todd squinted and stared coldly at the man on the floor.
“Kevin Carter,” Todd coldly called out Kevin’s name.
A trace of cold sweat appeared on Kevin’s forehead, and he hurriedly begged for mercy. “Mr. Freeman, please let me go.”
Queenie suddenly felt something was wrong. She looked at Kevin on the ground with a dark expression and muttered, “Mr. Carter, what are you doing? Please get up.”
However, Kevin ignored Queenie. He could not afford to offend Triton Studio, as they worked with the foreign royal families.
After Kevin was fired by Triton Studio, he relied on Triton Studio’s name as an ex-designer to get some work. However, as time went by, he gradually lost his reputation.
Later, he created some imitations of Triton Studio’s jewelry to rent out to earn a little money. Then, he was found by Queenie. The price she gave was very high, so he agreed to it out of greed.
Triton Studio never rented jewelry in this country, so Kevin was relieved, thinking he would immediately escape after earning money to avoid getting caught.
However, Todd was now here.
Kevin knew he had been caught red-handed.
Todd looked down at the person on the ground with a dark expression, and his voice was cold as he growled, “You have been fired by Triton Studio but now, you are using the studio’s name to swindle money? You’re smearing the studio’s reputation!”
Kevin did not dare to make a sound. Although he had on a suit, he crawled on the floor and was utterly timid.
Queenie was no fool. She guessed the truth through this exchange, and her face suddenly went pale.
Kevin’s jewelry is fake!
Queenie felt her blood flowing backward, gushing up from the soles of her feet to her head.
“T-The jewelry I rented is fake?!”
Queenie looked at the man on the ground. She forcefully repressed her anger as Anna was present and stared straight at the man below.
However, Kevin couldn’t spare time to talk to Queenie as he begged Todd for mercy.
Todd turned his eyes away and said coldly, “Since you have done it, stop acting all pitiful. I will sue you in the name of Triton Studio. You are on your own now.”
Anna knew the severity of this matter. Looking at Todd’s unkind expression, she waved to signal the bodyguards to take Kevin away.
Looking at this scene, Queenie almost fell to the ground. She was stunned for a long time before she could react. When she did, she hurriedly walked up to Anna and said, “Mrs. Gardner, Wendy, I-I didn’t know that the jewelry is fake. When I rented it, I-I heard he is indeed a designer in Triton Studio. However, I didn’t expect him to be f-fired…”
Anna squinted. She knew Queenie didn’t do it on purpose. After all, if Wendy really wore the fake jewelry, Queenie wouldn’t be able to handle such a responsibility.
However, Anna was still unhappy when she thought about the consequences of Wendy wearing the necklace.
She didn’t look directly at Queenie, but she coldly said, “I know you didn’t mean it. Fortunately, Nicole brought Mr. Freeman over. Otherwise, the Gardner Family would’ve been mocked.”
Queenie was utterly pale at that point. She raised her eyes and looked at Nicole with a false smile while sitting. Then, she gritted her teeth and said to Nicole, “Of course, it’s all thanks to my dear sister. It’s my fault for not investigating clearly beforehand and almost shaming Wendy.”
Seeing Queenie’s unwillingness, Nicole sneered but did not expose her.
“You’re welcome. You don’t have to address me as your sister. I am not a part of the Anderson Family since William has disowned me.”
However, Queenie had to suck up to Nicole as the latter had helped solve Queenie’s blundeer.
And so, Queenie forced out a laugh and said, “Father was a fool to do that. No matter what, you’re my sister.”
