Lilah was truly impressive. Phoebe could not help but sigh dreamily.

Gerard draped an arm over Lilah's shoulders before facing the audience. "I have an announcement to make, everyone. Lilah is my fiancée.

"Holy cow!"

Everyone was taken aback by the shocking turn of events.

A silence descended across the venue, and it lasted for what seemed like an eternity.

Gerard's announcement had Bernard feeling like he had been slapped in the face by a brick.

If Lilah were truly Gerard's fiancée, then there was no way she would have any interest in Bernard. However, the latter had just claimed that she had tried to seduce him.

It was even more improbable that she would use her body to win a competition.

As the future wife of a wealthy man, she was already living a high life.

Lilah was surprised that Gerard made such an announcement, but she knew he was trying to help her.

She did not need him to do so, but she was not complaining.

“Cat got your tongue, Mr. Stein?" Lilah asked with a mocking smile.

Bernard stared at Gerard in disbelief while the latter fixed him with a menacing look. He felt like his life was about to end at any moment.

“I... I'm sorry, Mr. Harris. I just made that all up!"

Suddenly, Bernard dropped to his knees before Gerard.

Lilah arched her brow.

The man was not a worthy opponent at all.

She had a recording of the whole conversation, but Bernard admitted to his wrongdoing before she could play it.

In the end, Lilah chose to share the recording with everyone. "I'll play the recording of our previous conversation so that Mr. Stein won't accuse us of abusing our power."

“I'm the vice president of the Fauwille Design Association now. I could offer you tips, but..." Soon, Bernard's suggestive tone as he spoke was echoing in the venue.

“You're audacious."

“I've always enjoyed your feistiness..."

The recording stripped away Bernard's last shred of dignity.

The Fauwille Design Association immediately announced Bernard's expulsion, and Lilah wasted no time reporting him to the police, who promptly took him into custody.
