To the unaware, Katie was still Mitchel's supposed fiancée.

After all, she had gone out of her way to postpone the clarifying press conference. However, his influence did not end there. Mitchel wanted to clarify his relationship with her to the public, but she couldn't allow it.

Vicki, reveling in her own excitement, rested her head on Katie's shoulder and said happily, "Isn't that great? Our husbands are good friends, and so are we. "We can travel together to have a great time."

Katie, with her actress instincts, said nothing. Noticing Katie's unusual silence, Vicki looked towards her and that was when she saw the tears welling up in Katie's eyes.

Surprised, Vicki asked, "Katie, what's wrong with you?" Why are you crying?

Katie, as if afraid of attracting attention, quickly wiped away her tears and murmured, "It's nothing...let's go..."

After saying this, Katie turned around and was about to leave.

However, Vicki suddenly grabbed her arm and said anxiously, “What's wrong? If you don't tell me, it means you don't take me as a friend.

«Vicki, it's not that I don't take you as a friend. It's just that...

Katie hesitated. She bit her lower lip and said softly, “You better not ask…”

"No way! What if I can help you? Vicki's voice rose. «Has someone harassed you? Tell me. I will take care of that person for you.

Katie's face paled, giving her a pitiful look. "The woman on stage is actually Mitchel's ex-wife."

"That? Mitchel's ex-wife? Vicki exclaimed in shock. «How can it be?

Mitchel's ex-wife drowned, right?

But only a few knew it.

Vicki knew this because Mitchel suddenly disappeared from the public scene at the height of his career a couple of years ago. Then she was perplexed.

On one occasion when Vicki accompanied her mother to church, she ran into Mitchel. At that moment, Mitchel looked so disheveled and haggard that she barely recognized him.

Vicki later learned that Mitchel was depressed over the death of his ex-wife, which had shaken her at the time.

Knowing that Katie was the one who had stayed by Mitchel's side and helped him through his grief, Vicki admired Katie's steadfastness.

Despite Mitchel's indifference, Katie never abandoned him.

Judging by Katie's expression, Vicki speculated, "Did his ex-wife come back to get back together with him?"

Katie nodded aggrieved. «She has approached Mitchel several times..

«That bitch! "How dare you do that!" Vicki swore angrily. She felt identified because Jarrod, the man she loved, had also had an unforgettable first love. That's why he always despised ex-girlfriends and ex-wives.

Since Raegan was Mitchel's ex-wife, he hated her instantly.

Vicki looked at Katie and said resentfully, “You were with Mitchel on his worst days. When he was in the hardest moments of his life, you never left him. And now, is his ex-wife coming back to get him back? What does it mean? Do you think you can get him back because of his good looks?

Katie shook her head helplessly. "I don't know what's going to happen now..."

Vicki was upset by all the ex-girlfriends and ex-wives. He took Katie by the hand and advised her, “Mitchel is young, handsome, and successful.

Maybe that's why his ex-wife isn't willing to let him go. So you must keep an eye on him and secure your position.

Katie nodded slightly. "Yeah. But there is something else I know. I'm not sure if I should tell you..."

Vicki asked confused, “What is it? Does it have anything to do with me?

Katie said somberly, "Raegan and Jarrod's first love are best friends."

Vicki's eyes snapped open. "That? You mean Jamie?

Jarrod's previous entanglement with Jamie was common knowledge.

Oblivious to Jarrod's relationship with Nicole in their school days, Vicki assumed that Jamie was Jarrod's first love.

Shaking her head, Katie revealed, "No, not Jamie. Jarrod's first love is the daughter of the Lawrence family. "They were classmates and childhood sweethearts."

“The Lawrence family?” Vicki was even more surprised. "Are you referring to the Lawrence family that was ruined after the director's suicide?"

Katie nodded. "Yeah. Miss Lawrence has returned to Ardlens. "It seems like he's still in contact with Jarrod." Then she warned worriedly: “Vicki, you have to be careful. Those two women are clever. "Their tactics are quite formidable."

Vicki suddenly understood what Jarrod had been up to and why he kept avoiding her. He stomped his foot in anger and said viciously: “Those despicable women! I'll find someone to teach them a lesson.

When Katie saw the anger in Vicki's eyes, the corners of her lips raised slightly. He continued to advise Vicki: “Vicki, don't act rashly. If Jarrod finds out that I was the one who told you all this, it would make things difficult for me with Mitchel.

"Don't worry. I won't say anything. "I'm not that stupid," Vicki assured Katie bluntly.

Vicki looked at the stage and said bitterly, “We can't let those women get away with this. "How dare they seduce our men."

The press conference continued.

The woman, having wrongly accused Raegan under Katie's instructions, still wanted to cause trouble.

The journalists continued to ask questions unrelated to the unfounded accusation of plagiarism. The woman was unhappy that they had strayed from that topic and shouted several times for attention. However, everyone ignored her as if she did not exist.

Frustrated, the woman suddenly jumped on stage and shouted, “Even though Casey is your mother, how can you put your name on her works and claim them as your own? What is the difference between what you are doing and plagiarism?

As soon as the woman said this, there was a dead silence in the room. Everyone looked at her like she was stupid. Everyone believed that the woman's claim of being an employee of Dream Studio was nothing more than a lie. For someone in the design industry, not knowing Casey's story was unthinkable.

Undeterred, Raegan turned to the security guards and quietly ordered, “Security, please escort this lady out.”
