NovelBookQueenie frowned, but Alessia didn’t seem the least bit surprised.
“You're allowed to bring a plus-one to these events. With Sienna’s family background, it’s no wonder she
managed to get in.”
“But what exactly happened with her?”
“We were both chosen by our professor to represent the school in the upcoming showcase. You know, our college
is famous for producing top jewelry designers, so the event attracts a lot of industry professionals. Our professor
had high hopes. for both of us, but then a well-known designer accused Sienna of plagiarizing one of his early
pieces.”
Alessia raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “And?”
“Well, you can imagine how it went. She was forced to withdraw from the showcase, got slapped with a lawsuit,
and the professor's attitude toward her changed overnight. Add in all the snide remarks from our classmates,
and her pride just couldn't take it. So she dropped out.”
“What's any of that got to do with you?”
Well, it wasn’t entirely unrelated. After all, Queenie had tipped off the designer. But all she did was quietly drop a
hint. If Sienna hadn't tried to cut corners or tried to sabotage Queenie by copying that designer's old debut
piece-none of this would've happened.
Of course, Queenie kept these thoughts to herself.

really do anything, but | did end up benefiting the most from the whole mess.”
Queenie shrugged, feigning innocence.
Alessia didn’t press further. She nodded, finally understanding why Sienna harbored so much resentment toward
Queenie. It was jealousy, plain and simple.
“Let's not talk about her anymore,” Queenie said, waving it off.
Then she grinned and nudged Alessia playfully. “So, how did | do today? Pretty good, right?”
“You were fantastic,” Alessia replied, ruffling Queenie’s hair with genuine affection. Her voice was warm,
brimming with approval.

“But it’s getting late, | should head out. Don’t stay up too long, okay? I'll swing by the clinic later and mix up
smedicine for you-make sure you drink it,” Alessia added, almost out of habit. She gently took Queenie’s
wrist, checking her pulse. Satisfied there was nothing amiss, she still couldn't resist nagging a bit.
Queenie was used to it by now. Far from being annoyed, she just laughed and agreed, teasing Alessia with a pout
and a grin to cheer her up.
They chatted a little longer about nothing in particular before finally parting ways. When Alessia stepped outside,
she found Liam waiting at the door. He'd swapped his tailored suit for a casual hoodie, pulled a cap low over his
face, and wore a mask-doing his best to keep a low profile.
He wasn’t the sunknown singer stuck performing in bars anymore. These days, he was a bonafide star with
millions of fans.
With talent, smart PR moves, and the mystery of his early days when he kept his face hidden, it was no surprise
to Alessia that he’d becsuch a sensation.
“Let's go,” Liam said, ruffling her hair as she approached.
“Where's Lillian?”
