If anyone ever asked her who her arch-nemesis in showbiz was, hands down, it was Effie. Ever since she entered the scene, she'd been trying to outdo Maggie at every turn!

Maggie was on the other side of the venue from Effie. They didn't bump into each other, as Effie made a swift exit.

Curious, Maggie replayed the livestream to check out Effie's attire.

Her eyes landed on a strikingly familiar jewelry set.

"This... is it?" Maggie stuttered.

Her assistant treaded lightly. "That's the design from Aurora Jewelers. The one you passed on. Effie's flaunting it.”

Maggie's head spun, and she gripped the table for support. It was crystal clear that the design was a showstopper. “What's the buzz online?"

"About that..." her assistant trailed off.

Losing patience, Maggie grabbed her iPad. The online world was losing its mind.

"Maggie throws shade at Aurora Jewelers!"

"Guess what? Effie's bling is by Aurora Jewelers."

"Who knew Aurora Jewelers had it in them!"

"Why's Maggie trying to make Lilah look bad?"

Her hands shook as she tapped on the trending news. The hate poured in.

“Hold up. Maggie called this design ‘trash'? Seriously?"

"Looks like Maggie's playing games. Lilah's design is miles ahead of hers!"

“No brainer. Maggie's in cahoots with Adaline and they're sidelining Lilah."

“I thought Maggie was the wronged party. Boy, was I duped."

"Thank heavens for Effie. Without her, Aurora Jewelers would've been thrown under the bus."

"Does Maggie realize she could've tanked a business?"

"Man, Maggie's mean streak's showing."

Maggie's good name was taking a nosedive. She felt like the rug was pulled out from under her.

Effie and Lilah!

They must've plotted this together!
