Chapter 246 Behind The

Rumors

“Got it.” Nanette nodded and left the office.

Sadie leaned back in her chair, her brows knitted as her mind raced with endless possibilities.

Then a name suddenly popped up in her head- Kyla.

She couldn’t think of anyone else devious and determined enough to ruin her life.

“I’ll see what you’re really up to!” Sadie muttered.

She grabbed her phone and made a call. “Hello, Leif. I need you to help me with something…”

Sadie recounted everything to Leif and asked him to trace the source of all the rumors as quickly as he possibly could.

Shortly after she hung up, her phone rang. It was Eva.

“Sadie? I heard there’s been trouble with your studio. Is that true?” Eva’s voice was filled with concern.

“Yeah,” Sadie said with a small sigh.

“Don’t worry! I’ve already had someone investigate the matter,” Eva reassured her. “I’m sure we’ll have answers soon.”

“Thank you,” Sadie said sincerely.

Eva just chuckled and brushed it off. “Please, don’t mention it. By the way, we can’t have any room for mistakes during the Starlight Gala. This mysterious person you’re meeting is a big shot in the design industry. You’ll get your chance to show

off your skills.”

“I understand,” Sadie murmured.

When she ended the call, her heart felt heavier.

Meanwhile, in another part of the city, Kyla was sitting in a cafe across from Percy.

“How is everything going?”

“Everything is going accordingly, Miss Wade. I’ve spread the word far and wide in the world of jewelry. The reputation of

Sadie’s studio has plummeted, and most of her partners have already cancelled their impending collaborations.” Percy’s lips were curled into a cunning smile.

“Good.” Kyla nodded in satisfaction.

“All that’s left for us to do is continue pressuring her from all sides. We must make sure that she never recovers from this.”

“No problem,” Percy replied readily. “I will follow your lead.”

Kyla picked up her cup and took a sip of her coffee. Her eyes glinted with malice as she stared off into the distance. “This

time, Sadie, I will see to it that you disappear for good!”

It didn’t take long for Leif to report back to Sadie. “I’ve found the culprit, Miss Hudson. The person behind the rumors is named Percy Webster. He bribed several journalists to publish slanderous articles about your studio.“.

“Percy…” Sadie’s eyes flashed. “Just as I thought.”

She took a deep breath and tapped her finger lightly against her desk. “Forward his report to the police.”

Nanette turned to her in surprise. “But…”

“With solid evidence on hand, the police will have no reason not to go after Percy,” Sadie said firmly. “They should be able. to deal with him. Our priority right now is finding the Starlight Stone and fixing the Dewy Hibiscus.”

Nanette nodded and immediately contacted the authorities, while Sadie opened her computer and began to look for

information on Starlight Stone.

She was browsing on a certain website when a message popped up on the screen. A private auction was happening in three

days at the Cloud Summit Club, and one of the items up for bidding was the Starlight Stone.

A flicker of hope sparked in Sadie’s chest, but it died out almost instantly.

The Cloud Summit Club was a famous private club frequented by the elites. No one could get in without an invitation.

“Starlight Stone…” Sadie muttered to herself as she tried to work around this new setback.

Just then, the door to the studio opened, and Alex sauntered in.

“Hey, Sadie. What are you working on?” Traces of concern lined his face.

“I’m looking for the Starlight Stone,” Sadie replied with a faint smile.

“Starlight Stone? That’s a rare gem, isn’t it? It would be hard to get your hands on it.” Alex walked around her desk and

glanced at the auction details that were still on her screen. “Cloud Summit Club… That place isn’t easy to get into, either.”

Sadie let out a defeated sigh. “Yeah, I know. But apart from this auction, I don’t know where to find the Starlight Stone.”

Alex gazed down at her troubled face for a moment, his face slowly breaking into a mysterious smile. “As it happens, I’m

going to attend the auction at the Cloud Summit Club.”
