Chapter 254
Lisa's voice trembled with anger and certainty. "All of this is your fault! You sabotaged me at every turn because you couldn't stand the thought of me winning the gold and bringing honor to our family. You're so self-absorbed! You're ruining Belle Époque's future just to boost your reputation and secure more shares. Chloe, you're nothing but selfish!"
Chloe shot back with a cold laugh. "Selfish? Sure, I won two major awards and barely saved Belle Époque's reputation. I registered under my own studio but credited my awards to Belle Époque. I was kicked out of the house, yet I still worked hard for Belle Époque's future and was willing to be a pawn to earn fame."
"And you? You brazenly plagiarized for your vanity. Aren't you selfish?
"Before my show, you sabotaged my model's high heels, causing her to fall and nearly ruin my work. Isn't that selfish? "When your misdeeds came to light, you dragged Belle Époque down and blamed everyone else. Isn't that selfish?"
Lisa was left speechless.
Jacob caught onto something. "Lisa, did you really sabotage Chloe and nearly caused her to miss her show?"
A flicker of guilt crossed Lisa's face, but she quickly denied it. "Dad, don't believe her! She's framing me because she's jealous and wants the Meadows family estate for herself."
Jacob saw right through her. "Shut up, Lisa. You're disgraceful!" He grabbed a glass of water from the bedside table and threw it at Lisa.
She had even thought of destroying Chloe's work.

exposed... Jacob couldn't even bear to think about the state Belle Époque would be in.
Lisa's hatred burned like a raging river, but even Leah was silent now, not uttering a word in her defense.
Leah poured Jacob a glass of water. "Alright, calm down. The doctor said you shouldn't get too worked up."
Jacob took a while to settle down. Finally, he spoke to Chloe. "Chloe, the reason I asked you here today is actually to ask a favor."
Chloe's face was expressionless, but she had already guessed what he wanted.
"Could you talk to Miss Y? Aren't you two close friends? Her cease and desist letter for Belle Époque arrived yesterday. If this goes to court, Belle Époque is truly finished."
Chloe frowned, looking troubled. "I've only met Miss Y a few times. We share similar design philosophies and got along, but we're not that close."
Jacob said, "I know it's not easy to ask her to drop the lawsuit. So, could you negotiate with her and see what her demands are? We'll agree to anything reasonable." NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Chloe remained silent.
Jacob continued, "Chloe, I've never asked you for anything before, and this time, I'm truly out of options."
Chloe didn't hesitate. "It's not a simple task, but of course, I can help. However, please fulfill your promise first and transfer Lisa's 20% shares to me."
