“I already explained last night,” Carmen said. “I was looking for Zahra to double-check the list for Grandpa’s birthday. I couldn’t find her, so I brought people over to the side wing.”

“Have you asked who saw Zahra last?” Caitlin asked coldly.

“How would I know?”

“Since you don’t, then gather everyone in the Yuncey household. We need to find out. The longer this drags on, the more it’ll affect Timothy’s birthday celebration.”

Though she was the prime suspect, Caitlin carried herself with authority and the confidence of someone in charge.

Carmen didn’t want to take orders from her.

Caitlin didn’t expect her to. She went straight to Rachel. “Rachel, you’re the matriarch of the Yuncey family. Please give the order—have everyone gather in the main hall. I have a way to find the killer.”

Rachel gave her a sharp glance but said nothing. Randall stepped in, “Grandma, if Caitlin says she has a method, let’s give it a try. Getting to the bottom of this quickly is in everyone’s best interest.”

  • Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her   518: She Refuses to Accept the Result

    “If you hadn’t tampered with the results, how could I possibly be in third place?”Zora finally voiced her dissatisfaction. Caitlin gave her a faint smile and responded, “Do you think every judge scores like you do—based on favoritism? Today’s judging was purely about the design. The audience isn’t blind, and neither are the judges.”Her words weren’t polite, and the implication was clear: just because Zora had manipulated the scores at the piano competition didn’t mean everyone else did too.“Oh, right. You say it was about design. But what about that second-place designer? In what world does his work deserve to outrank mine? My designs are clearly superior in every aspect. Unless you bribed the judges, how else would you and that guy land first and second?”Zora wasn’t giving up.Onstage, to the audie

    The more Zora watched, the more anxious she became.Caitlin’s collection featured a seamless blend of whites and blues. What truly caught the eye was the uniqueness of each design—delicate embroidery in silver thread added just enough detail without overwhelming the minimalist elegance.In a desperate move to sabotage Caitlin’s chances of winning, Zora poured water from her bottle onto the runway as a model passed nearby, using the misty atmosphere as cover. A wet runway would become dangerously slick, increasing the risk of a model slipping.But once again, her plan failed.Every model passed over that section with perfect poise—no slips, no faltering steps.Zora clenched her fists in frustration. Not a single stumble?She had counted on a disaster, yet the models only seemed more graceful.What Zora

    Zora's hand froze mid-air. She turned her head and was stunned to see who had grabbed her wrist—it was none other than Thomas.Her expression shifted quickly as she pulled her hand back and forced a smile. “Mr. Quick! I didn’t know you’d be coming!”Thomas held a bouquet of flowers in one hand, his voice cool and even. “If I didn’t come, how else would I witness such a lovely scene? Quite the temper, Miss Harris.”“Heh... no, no, it’s just a misunderstanding. I was just trying to give the models some direction. They didn’t follow instructions and made mistakes during the show…”Zora hurried to explain, trying to salvage her image. She then looked at the flowers in his hand with feigned delight. “Oh—are those for me?”She reached out for them, but Thomas didn't hand them over. “T

    “Get lost!”Wendy was beyond words at this point. She shot her brother a desperate look. “Simon! Do something! He’s driving me crazy!”Simon turned to Benjamin. “Why are you still bothering my sister? Didn’t you say she wasn’t your type? That even if someone gave her to you, you wouldn’t take her?”Benjamin immediately regretted ever saying that. He threw his arm around Simon and leaned his head against his shoulder like a clingy child.“Bro, don’t be so mean! Yeah, I said she wasn’t my type… but what I meant to say was—she’s my sweet tooth! My cotton candy! I can’t go a day without her!”Simon: “...”Wendy: “...”Both siblings were thoroughly grossed out by Benjamin’s over-the-top behavior.&nb

    The two women locked eyes in the thick tension of rivalry, neither willing to back down. They entered the venue through separate entrances.Caitlin headed straight to her assigned dressing room. Inside, Molly was already directing the models' makeup and prep. The garments had arrived, and the models were starting to change.“Thank you for everything, Molly,” Caitlin said with heartfelt gratitude. None of her shows would be this flawless without Molly’s unwavering support.“Thank me? Please. Helping you is helping myself,” Molly replied, pulling Caitlin over. “Come check the makeup. Tell me if we need to adjust anything.”The two women got to work, deep in the flow of last-minute preparations.Meanwhile, in Main Hall 7—the largest hall in the exhibition center—guests were pouring in. Reporters from every major fashion magazine

    Zeke stared Samir down, eyes burning, but said nothing. Samir turned his head, his voice low and icy."Zeke, listen carefully," he said."The boss has known from the start that you're not his biological son. He knew before you were even born.I am his real son. His blood runs in my veins.Well? Shocking enough for you?"A twisted, triumphant smile spread across Samir’s face.Zeke’s eyes widened in disbelief. Then he shook his head furiously. "That’s impossible! Who are you trying to fool?""Why would I lie to you?" Samir scoffed. "Do you know how long I’ve waited for this day? I’ve lived my life in the shadows as the illegitimate son. Only after the boss completely gave up on you could I finally rise."Zeke’s eyes flickered. Now that Samir had said it out loud, he could no longer ignore the resemblance. Samir’s featur
