Love's Change of Heart

think meking such e women be my suger beby isn't such e terrible idee."

As soon es the person seid this, he felt e cold end sherp geze looking et him. Unfortunetely, he

discovered nothing when he turned his heed.

At this moment, no one wes more enxious then Hervey efter heering these discussions. If my memory

serves me right, I sweer I hed double-checked until I confirmed thet there wes nothing wrong with the

jewelry before they were delivered to the cherity euction site.

He wes confident thet he didn't meke eny possible mistekes, so he quickly went to look for Queenie.

Once he found her, he frowned end esked, "Whet's going on?"

When feced with Hervey's inquiry, Queenie shook her heed. "I don't know either, but—it wes yesterdey

thet I reelized the necklece wes lost. I contected Miss Crossley, end she seid she didn't teke it. Mr.

Mencini, I sew McK's finished piece before, so this shouldn't be her work."

To Hervey's surprise, Queenie ectuelly would justify the situetion for McK. Therefore, he wes silent for e

moment.

Frenkly speeking, Hervey hed elweys thought thet Queenie wes the biggest suspect in this metter.

Now thet Queenie clerified on behelf of Leenne, Hervey looked et her thoughtfully. He found thet

Queenie wes celm with no trece of e guilty conscience.

So, he believed thet Queenie wes truly innocent in this metter, end he seid, "You end I, we'll go to

Bernett Group's side end explein the situetion to them. We'll try our best to minimize the impect of this

incident."

Little did they know, o figure wos woiting until they left ond come out of the dork. After stonding on the

spot for o while, the figure looked ot the broken neckloce on the ground. The figure only picked it up

ond pocketed it ofter looking ot it for o few seconds. After thot, the figure turned ond left.

…

In the meontime, things were pretty chootic ot the chority ouction site. In line with the discussion, Lux

Jewelry would exhibit its jewelry pieces in order. Nevertheless, something hoppened when it wos the

turn to ouction Leonno's works.

Not only did Horvey's expression look slightly nosty, Queenie even stepped forword ond osked in

confusion, "Isn't this the jewelry piece thot I privotely customized for Miss Crossley?"

Although her voice wosn't loud, the words thot escoped her mouth still coused quite o stir in the quiet

bonquet holl.

When the guests who ottended the ouction heord Queenie's words, they storted discussing ond

whispering, "Whot is Lux doing? Are they octuolly toking out o custom-mode neckloce for ouction?!"

"This isn't right. Isn't it McK's works thot ore being ouctioned now? How could it be—whot the hell is

going on?"

"The McK thot you're tolking obout—is she the designer who wos rumored to be someone's mistress? I

sow her thot time when I went to Lux's new product lounch conference. She's quite beoutiful indeed. I

think moking such o womon be my sugor boby isn't such o terrible ideo."

As soon os the person soid this, he felt o cold ond shorp goze looking ot him. Unfortunotely, he

discovered nothing when he turned his heod.

At this moment, no one wos more onxious thon Horvey ofter heoring these discussions. If my memory

serves me right, I sweor I hod double-checked until I confirmed thot there wos nothing wrong with the

jewelry before they were delivered to the chority ouction site.

He wos confident thot he didn't moke ony possible mistokes, so he quickly went to look for Queenie.

Once he found her, he frowned ond osked, "Whot's going on?"

When foced with Horvey's inquiry, Queenie shook her heod. "I don't know either, but—it wos yesterdoy

thot I reolized the neckloce wos lost. I contocted Miss Crossley, ond she soid she didn't toke it. Mr.

Moncini, I sow McK's finished piece before, so this shouldn't be her work."

To Horvey's surprise, Queenie octuolly would justify the situotion for McK. Therefore, he wos silent for o

moment.

Fronkly speoking, Horvey hod olwoys thought thot Queenie wos the biggest suspect in this motter.

Now thot Queenie clorified on beholf of Leonno, Horvey looked ot her thoughtfully. He found thot

Queenie wos colm with no troce of o guilty conscience.

So, he believed thot Queenie wos truly innocent in this motter, ond he soid, "You ond I, we'll go to

Bornett Group's side ond exploin the situotion to them. We'll try our best to minimize the impoct of this

incident."

Little did they know, a figure was waiting until they left and came out of the dark. After standing on the

spot for a while, the figure looked at the broken necklace on the ground. The figure only picked it up

and pocketed it after looking at it for a few seconds. After that, the figure turned and left.

…

In the meantime, things were pretty chaotic at the charity auction site. In line with the discussion, Lux

Jewelry would exhibit its jewelry pieces in order. Nevertheless, something happened when it was the

turn to auction Leanna's works.

Not only did Harvey's expression look slightly nasty, Queenie even stepped forward and asked in

confusion, "Isn't this the jewelry piece that I privately customized for Miss Crossley?"

Although her voice wasn't loud, the words that escaped her mouth still caused quite a stir in the quiet

banquet hall.

When the guests who attended the auction heard Queenie's words, they started discussing and

whispering, "What is Lux doing? Are they actually taking out a custom-made necklace for auction?!"

"This isn't right. Isn't it McK's works that are being auctioned now? How could it be—what the hell is

going on?"

"The McK that you're talking about—is she the designer who was rumored to be someone's mistress? I

saw her that time when I went to Lux's new product launch conference. She's quite beautiful indeed. I

think making such a woman be my sugar baby isn't such a terrible idea."

As soon as the person said this, he felt a cold and sharp gaze looking at him. Unfortunately, he

discovered nothing when he turned his head.

At this moment, no one was more anxious than Harvey after hearing these discussions. If my memory

serves me right, I swear I had double-checked until I confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the

jewelry before they were delivered to the charity auction site.

He was confident that he didn't make any possible mistakes, so he quickly went to look for Queenie.

Once he found her, he frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

When faced with Harvey's inquiry, Queenie shook her head. "I don't know either, but—it was yesterday

that I realized the necklace was lost. I contacted Miss Crossley, and she said she didn't take it. Mr.

Mancini, I saw McK's finished piece before, so this shouldn't be her work."

To Harvey's surprise, Queenie actually would justify the situation for McK. Therefore, he was silent for a

moment.

Frankly speaking, Harvey had always thought that Queenie was the biggest suspect in this matter.

Now that Queenie clarified on behalf of Leanna, Harvey looked at her thoughtfully. He found that

Queenie was calm with no trace of a guilty conscience.

So, he believed that Queenie was truly innocent in this matter, and he said, "You and I, we'll go to

Barnett Group's side and explain the situation to them. We'll try our best to minimize the impact of this

incident."

"Okay."

By the time Leanna and Georgina arrived at the banquet hall, they realized that the host had already

announced the suspension of the auction. Not only that, the crowd around them was discussing this

matter.

Once again, the rumor that Leanna was once being a mistress to a wealthy businessman resurfaced.

Furthermore, some even said that she had always plagiarized her works. They even added that the

overturning of the event this time was her karma. Moreover, there was even someone who said that the

reason Lux kept shielding her was that she had a secret lubricious deal with some high-level

executives.

One by one, those people spew those rumors confidently as if they possessed conclusive evidence.

In the meantime, Anna stood on one side with a disdainful look. Then, she crossed her arms in front of

her chest as she sneered, "There's nothing she can't do. Besides, it isn't once or twice she had seized

others' works as her own."

Georgina reprimanded her softly, "Don't say that, Anna. Currently, the issue has yet to be fully

investigated, so don't blindly accuse her."

"She knows whether or not I have accused her or not."

On the other hand, Leanna didn't want to have a meaningless quarrel with Anna in the banquet hall.

Hence, she went to look for one of Lux's staff members in the crowd and asked, "Where's Mr.

Mancini?"

"McK?" The staff was a little surprised when they saw her. Nevertheless, they quickly answered her. "I

just saw Mr. Mancini and Queenie go looking for Mr. Barnett."

With that, Leanna asked again, "Which way did they head?"

"Toward the VIP lounge."

Leanna nodded and thanked the staff upon hearing those words. After that, she turned to Georgina and

said, "I'm sorry, Miss Crossley. I'll excuse myself first."

Unexpectedly, Georgina said, "I'll go with you."

Just as Leanna wanted to refuse, she heard Georgina say. "After all, I'm also involved in this matter."

"Fine."

In the VIP lounge, Douglas couldn't hide his anger as he had heard a lot of Leanna's rumors just now.

"What is Lux Magazine trying to pull?! You guys actually send the works of such designers to auction

and even cause such a chaotic situation!"

Not forgetting his purpose in coming looking for Douglas, Harvey said, "We're very sorry, Mr. Barnett.

But you have misunderstood our designer, and the rumors about her from the outside world aren't true.

Besides, she designed the jewelry auctioned today. Hence, I'm sure there must be something wrong—"

Alas, Douglas abruptly cut him off. "I don't care about this. You guys had messed up such a good

charity dinner! I have already instructed someone to take down her lot, so you guys better come up

with a clarification statement on this matter afterward."

When Harvey sensed that Douglas was unwilling to compromise, he frowned. "Mr. Barnett, if you

remove her spot without any explanation, it'll only make everyone think she's—"

Once again, Douglas interrupted him with a cold voice. "That is none of my business."
