Chapter 1100
No.1
"See for yourselves."
The surveillance footage she'd just pulled up glared back at them.
As the timestamp advanced, their expressions morphed from eager anticipation to shock, then deflation.
"Those chat logs are obvious fabrications," Evelyn stated calmly. "They claim I stole designs from Isabella Winslow last night, but the footage proves I never went there."
Horizon Media's obtained styling drafts were incomplete from the start.
The爆料博主 had insisted "Evelyn Sinclair" confessed to stealing them from Isabella.
Yet the surveillance showed no trace of Evelyn near Isabella's hotel room door.
No.2
Only one person's comings and goings stood out starkly.
A man.
For five full hours.
......
"Chief Editor, are we really publishing this?" Iris's voice trembled.
Evelyn's lips curved slightly. "Naturally."
"Didn't Alexander Kingsley sue me for spreading rumors about him and Isabella?" Her fingers flew across the keyboard editing the video. "This evidence serves both as counterattack and vindication. Why wouldn't I use it?"
No.3
Iris hesitated.
The entire film crew had noticed Lord Alex's special attention toward Evelyn.
Those endless crimson roses seemed like a grand romantic gesture to anyone who saw them.
Yet this surveillance footage slapped them all across the face.
What stunned Iris most was Evelyn's composure.
Most women would be overjoyed to climb into Alexander Kingsley's orbit.
With his backing, who'd dare bully her?
No.4
Would Melissa Lee still scheme against her at every turn?
Why did she remain so indifferent?
For the first time, genuine respect welled up in Iris's heart.
......
Horizon Media's replacement team had arrived.
Leading them was Daniel Young, the Team Two chief editor who clashed constantly with Martha Nash.
"Management says the hotel's only booked until noon tomorrow," Daniel announced arrogantly. "Hand over all materials for transfer immediately."
No.5
This marked Team Two's second time stealing credit.
Evelyn smirked. "Who stays and who goes isn't decided yet, Chief Editor Daniel. Perhaps have HR extend the booking first?"
Daniel laughed uproariously. "Did Martha only teach you how to bluff?"
His team erupted in mocking laughter behind him.
Charlie and Iris shook with rage.
"Care to wager?" Evelyn crossed her arms. "Whoever gets fired by noon tomorrow calls the other 'Daddy.'"
"Such a beautiful daughter would be my gain." Daniel leered, reaching to tilt Evelyn's chin up. "I love hearing pretty girls call me Daddy—"
No.6
SMACK!
Evelyn slapped his grubby hand away.
A former paparazzo recruited by Victoria Henn through tabloid scoops, he'd always been insufferably arrogant.
To him, Evelyn was just a花瓶 who slept her way up.
Rumors said upper management already planned to axe her soon.
What harm in feeling up a soon-to-be powerless woman?
With this reasoning, he actually went for Evelyn's chest.
No.7
"AAARGH—"
A pig-like squeal echoed down the hallway.
Daniel's face drained of color, sweat pouring as he clutched his dislocated arm. "You're dead!"
"Workplace sexual harassment?" Evelyn's gaze turned glacial. "You're the one committing career suicide."
That he dared assault her under surveillance cameras proved how brazen he usually was.
