Applause rattled through the hall as the contestant before me stepped down.

I walked to the center of the platform.

The screen behind me buzzed once, then flared to life.

White light burned at the edge of my vision.

My palms were dry; I'd made sure of it.

I hadn't come all this way and worked weeks on four hours' sleep a night just to flinch now.

I gripped the mic in one hand, the laser pointer in the other.

I began.

"Good afternoon, judges, guests. I'm Mirabelle Vance."

I paused just long enough to make them look up.

"The theme: Evening Gala. Gemstones. Composure. I designed a four-piece set intended for high-profile, high-visibility events. Met-tier, red carpet-ready. But every clasp, hinge, and suspension curve is engineered for full comfort. Nothing that requires styling glue or double-sided tape to sit right."

I clicked the pointer.

The ring rotated on the screen.

"Let's start with the ring. Cushion-cut Ceylon sapphire, 7.8 carats, zero thermal treatment. Cradled in a platinum cl

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 195 Spiked Drink

    "Do I?" Daniel ran a hand over his face. "The bar's crowded. I had to elbow a couple of guys to get my orders heard."On stage, Cade strummed his last note and gave a quick bow.The crowd erupted."One more!" someone shouted.Others echoed it, louder and louder, but Cade didn't stop.He walked off with his guitar.A few voices groaned as the lights shifted back to dim red and amber."Do you come to this kind of place often?" Priya asked."What, you mean a bar? No, not really." Daniel shook his head. "I'm more of an indoor cat.""I find that hard to believe," I put in.Priya nodded her agreement."Why?" Daniel asked."Because you've got a tan and you've got muscles," I pointed out."Both could be obtained indoors.""Didn't peg you as the type to use a tanning bed."Daniel gave an awkward laugh. "Okay, enough about me. What about you, Mirabelle, Priya? What do you girls do when you're not hunched over a sketchpad?"A server approached our table with a tray."Sherry cobbler." He set down

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 194 Team Outing

    I'd been glued to my laptop so long my lower back had started protesting.I finally dragged myself downstairs for water, stretched my neck, and nearly bumped into Daniel as he rushed in."You didn't share the photos I sent you, did you?" he asked quickly."No. Why?"He let out a relieved breath, then leaned in like he had a secret to share. "Rowan's people reached out to her fanbase. Told them not to repost anything. She says the guy in the photo's just a friend. Dinner and nothing more. Blaming the angle."I set my glass on the counter. "Maybe she wasn't lying then."He didn't catch that, just kept talking. "Apparently, she gave the heads-up yesterday, but I only found out this morning. Good thing you kept it to yourself.""I didn't leak anything," I said. "Relax."Daniel nodded, then sighed like he was personally invested. "I really thought she'd landed someone serious. Judging by that guy's clothes, he looked like the kind of man with stupid money. Could've helped her career. Shame

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 193 Ashton’s POV: Fake Will

    "I didn't bribe anyone! It's a legal document. You can verify it at the notary's office! I—"Franklin choked on his own words.A rough cough cut him off.His neck flushed red, and sweat clung to the edge of his hairline.Ashton said nothing.His eyes moved slowly over Franklin, as if he was waiting for the performance to continue.Franklin tried again, repeating the same defense, then again, rearranging the sentences.Ashton stopped listening."That's enough," he said flatly. "Looks like you didn't listen to a single word during our last conversation."Franklin blinked. "Wh-what do you mean?""I mean I had someone watching you. And your wife. Your nephew. Your niece. That fake lawyer you dragged in whose license was pulled last year. The accountant moving your assets offshore. All of them." He tapped his phone. "Would you like the photos or the audio first?"Franklin froze.Then he started shaking.His lips parted but nothing came out.Ashton's mood lifted—slightly.He gave it a few s

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 192 Ashton’s POV: Damn It

    By the time Ashton woke up the next morning, she was gone.He sat alone at the table, reading through the CroftTech acquisition contract while finishing the last of the eggs.They were cooked to perfection—Carmen's usual standard.His phone rang."Mr. Laurent, I just sent over the footage," Dominic said.It was security footage, timestamped last night, just after eight, right outside The Atlas Room.The clip showed the whole group walking in.Rowan was two people away from Ashton. Clear distance. Nothing remotely intimate."Took you long enough."Mirabelle believed him.Watching it now barely mattered.Dominic apologized. "Took me some time to track down the manager. Next time, I'll get it to you faster.""Someone caught a misangled shot of me and Rowan Hale last night. I want the original source. Who took it. Where they were standing. Everything." His voice dropped lower. "Especially whether Rowan had anything to do with setting it up.""Understood.""And check if she's been making c

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 191 Biggest Winner

    "So whoever took that photo wanted people to think something was going on between you and her," I said."Exactly." He let out a breath, grabbed my other hand, and pulled me closer. "So you believe me?""I do."I didn't know which of us felt more relieved, me or him.His shoulders relaxed.The stabbing pain in my chest eased.I leaned back to look at him. "Whoever took that shot cropped it deliberately and pushed it online. What were they aiming for?"His mouth set hard. "Whoever it was knew I wasn't with her. They posted that frame to stir things up on purpose.""It didn't take off," I said. "There's nothing online. No trending tags, no press on Rowan today."He frowned. "Then how did you see it?""Her fans. Someone shared it with me."We stared at each other.No one said it, but we were thinking the same thing.If someone had traced Ashton's identity and noticed Rowan hanging around him, she could spin it.Leverage the connection, raise her profile.The biggest winner here would be R

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 190 Explanations

    I said, "Got it," and ended the call.The dining table was set. Cutlery straight, wine cold, plates steaming.I stood there for a second, then dropped into the chair and started eating.Three bites in, I gave up.Everything tasted flat.I left the rest, grabbed the remote, and collapsed on the couch.Thirty minutes passed.I couldn't remember a single thing I'd watched.When I looked up, Tom and Jerry was playing on mute.I let out a short laugh. Nothing was really funny.I got up, brought out the cake, and set it on the table.I took a small spoon from the drawer and dug in.The sponge was soft, not overly sweet, with a tart glaze that cut through the richness.Better than anything I'd cooked tonight.After a few bites, I flipped to some new drama people had been shouting about online.Ten minutes in, I still couldn't tell you what the plot was.The wall clock ticked past nine.Ashton still hadn't shown.I thought about going upstairs.But that photo kept flashing through my head.I
