Chapter 399
She remembered losing a sketchbook that meant the world to her. The one filled with all the character designs for Cloudland Winery she and May had brainstormed together.
She’d planned to give it to May as a gift, but before she even had a chance to wrap it up, she was shipped off to St. Gabriel Reform Academy. By the time she got back, the sketchbook had vanished without a trace.
She’d been too scared to bring it up again, worried that if she did, May might end up on St. Gabriel Reform Academy’s radar too, so she decided to never mention it again.
But she never imagined that, by some twist of fate, the sketchbook would fall into Lydia’s hands and ironically become the artwork for Cloudland Winery.
That sketchbook represented her friendship with May, and she refused to let Lydia taint it. Emily had originally planned to expose Lydia’s true colors later, but because of this, she decided to act sooner than planned.
Riding the wave of Lydia’s sudden fame as the manga artist for Cloudland Winery, Emily bought her way onto the trending topics, making sure everyone knew that the genius artist Tato, once praised by Amy, was actually Lydia.
Lydia hadn’t even gotten access to Tato’s account yet, so when the news broke, her first reaction was to shoot a panicked look at Emily. But Emily just gave her a deep look without saying a word.
That reaction only made Lydia even more uneasy, leaving her nerves stretched tighter than ever. But after a few days of worrying and seeing no move from Emily, Lydia finally let her guard down. She even thought up a clever little plan.
After all, Tato had never shown her face online, and the invitation Amy had sent to Emily had already been swiped by Lydia herself.
All she had to do was insist her account had been hacked, and with her system backing her up, she had nothing to fear even if Emily tried to call her out.
