Howard sighed and was about to say something else, but Aaron suddenly exclaimed, "Howard, you're mistaken! Lilah did find a supplier, and all the jewelry has been produced. Our exhibition has already begun!"

Howard couldn't believe what he had just heard. "What did you just say?" he asked in shock.

Even after Aaron repeated himself, Howard still couldn't believe it.

He left his work and immediately headed to the exhibition venue.

The Phillips Jewelry Design Exhibition started at 9 a.m. prompt. Many people were already inside, admiring the items and taking photos.

When Howard arrived, he saw the hall filled with beautiful jewelry, and he nearly fainted from shock.

What on earth was going on?

Wasn't Lilah supposed to be unable to find a supplier?

Oh, now he'd gotten it. She had probably just managed to buy enough gems and materials needed for the display items and nothing more. But they were not custom-designed jewelry pieces. Most of the items would have to be sold in bulk. Without a steady supplier, their design sector would be out of business in the near future. As far as Howard was concerned, what Lilah had done was to invite disaster!

"Miss Phillips!" he called when he finally spotted Lilah in the crowd.

She was introducing her designs, particularly a beautiful, sparkling red necklace that looked exquisite. Even through the glass, it exuded an air of opulence.

When Lilah turned and saw that it was Howard calling her, she asked him, "Mr. Brown, you're not at the office? Why are you here?"

"I came to find you because there's something I need to discuss with you," Howard replied. "I understand that you've managed to find the materials needed for these pieces, which is quite an accomplishment.

But what if the people here like them and want to buy them? If we can't deliver the goods, what do we do? Your actions might cause serious disappointment for potential customers."

He spoke so earnestly that people nearby were puzzled and some of them even began to confront him. “What do you mean?"

“Lilah didn't say that there was no supply. She actually told us that there's plenty of stock."

Howard sneered in response to these statements. He never expected that Lilah would deceive her customers so blatantly. Women, indeed, had a short-sighted view!

“Miss Phillips," he said to her, looking embarrassed and slightly guilty, “deceiving customers isn't good for business. I think we should be honest with them. If there's no supply, we should admit it.

We shouldn't Let people get their hopes up in vain.”

When he said this, people around began to look displeased. No one wanted to be deceived.

“What's going on, Lilah? How could you deceive people like this?"

“I wanted to buy several of these, and now, I'm hearing that there's no stock? Why would you open an exhibition then?"

“Doesn't this count as fraud? Thanks to their company's Deputy CEO that has exposed the whole thing."

As people began to criticize Lilah, even though Howard had a guilty look on his face, he felt secretly delighted that Lilah's actions had put her on a path to self-destruction.
