Sophia frowned. “40 thousand dollars? Are you kidding me? It’s highway robbery!”
To the Fuller family, 40 thousand dollars might not be a lot, but she would donate it to people in need rather than be ripped off by this awful old guy.
The old guy lay on the ground and acted shamelessly. He grabbed Sophia's arm and raised his voice to attract more attention. “She hit me with her car. Oh, my leg is broken!”
Sophia couldn't be more pis sed, realizing she had bumped into a scammer!
Her face darkened. “Fine. Since you said that your leg was broken, I'll call the ambulance now. If the doctors can’t find out the injury at the hospital, I'll sue you for scamming!”
After Sophia finished speaking, she planned to call Megan and ask her to help take the design drafts to Violet.
After all, other than Megan, she couldn't entrust anyone else to do that.
As for the scam, she would not let go of it. By no means would she want to be ripped off with 40 thousand dollars!
However, just as she took out her phone, she heard a careless and casual voice. “If | had. 40 thousand dollars, | wouldn't give it to such a disgusting scammer even if | had to make it rain from the top floor!”
Sophia was taken aback. Only then did she see a car parked beside her. A handsome man was leaning against the car with a cynical look.
Sophia’s expression changed. “I didn’t say | would give the money to him. | was planning to send him to the hospital for a checkup. Let's see how he can scam me!”
The old guy couldn’t accept it. He shouted at the top of his lungs, “You evil girl, who are you talking about? How dare you say I’m scamming you after you hit me with your car? Do you have any conscience? | want justice!”
More and more people surrounded them as if they were criticizing Sophia and the
man.
“How can these two young people treat an old gentleman like this?”
“Yeah. Even if she didn’t hit him, she should send him to the hospital for a checkup. What's the big deal?”

“The old gentleman can’t even move, but she insists on saying he’s scamming. Does she even have a heart?”
Robert ignored these discussions, and a trace of disdain flashed across his eyes. “Old man, you’re talking about justice. Have you ever thought of justice’ when you planned. on the scam? Did this girl hit you with her car or not? My dashcam has recorded the whole thing from the very beginning. Let’s not waste our breath. Call the police! Let the police come and see what’s going on!”
Robert was initially here for Megan, but as soon as he reached Foreverie Jewelry, he happened to see this.
He watched the scene for two minutes and wanted to see what this old guy wanted to do.
Sure enough, he turned out to be another bad old guy!Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
The old guy covered his leg and instantly put on a long face. “Young man, you must be with her. Jesus! You two ganged up to bully an old man like me!”
Sophia saw everyone around was on the old guy’s side and looked a little hesitant.
Robert directly took out his phone and called the ambulance. “Hello. I’m calling from the underground parking lot of Foreverie Jewelry’s office building in Summerwood City. Some old guy is trying to scam a girl here. | have a clear surveillance video. The old
guy fell to the ground without colliding with the girl’s car and insisted on pestering the girl for 40 thousand dollars. Please come and look into it!”
After Robert made the call, the expressions of the surrounding people changed.
The old guy sitting on the ground did not expect Robert to be so ruthless as to have called the police without hesitation.
His face changed a few times. At last, he suddenly stood up from the ground and wheeled his bicycle away in everyone’s shocked gazes!
Only then did everyone realize that Robert and Sophia were right. This old guy was here for the scam!
Everyone sighed. The people who had criticized Sophia and Robert had left dejectedly.
Sophia looked at Robert gratefully. “Thank you. But I think you must quickly cancel the police report now!”
Robert smiled and turned the phone in his hand. “Don’t worry. | didn’t call the police. | was only scaring that old scammer. If he couldn't figure out what was good for him, | would call the police for sure. Anyway, | do have surveillance footage here!”

Thinking of Robert's righteous action and looking at his handsome face in the sunlight as if it were glowing, Sophia’s heart raced. “Ah, | sec. No matter what, thanks a lot. | owe you big time. By the way, sir, may | know your name? | must thank you again some other time!”
Although Robert often visited Foreverie Jewelry to see Patrick, he usually took the CEO’s exclusive elevator. When he went for Megan, he mostly stayed at the Information Technology Department. That was why Sophia had never met Robert before. Moreover, although the Fuller family was also a member of the upper class, Sophia was introverted and a homebody. She did not like to attend all those banquets. It was the first time Sophia had met Robert.
Robert curled his lips and smiled. “My name is Mr. Good Man. You don’t have to thank me again. It’s no big deal!”
With that, Robert turned around, opened the car door, and started the car.
Sophia was a little confused. She did not expect that he did not tell her his name.
She looked disappointed, but when she remembered that she had something important. to do, she quickly got into the car and ran the errand for Violet.
Sophia left right after she brought the design drafts to the production team of Beauty Lovers Gang.
Violet looked at the guests of the production team and felt dizzy.
She finally understood why her right eyelid was twitching so severely this morning. It turned out that she was in bad luck!
The guests of the production team had arrived one after another.
There were five groups of guests, and each group had two people.
It was already upsetting to see her archenemy Veronica there, but what made it worse. was that Violet’s partner was Rose. Not only that, but Cynthia, who had previously participated in Azure City’s competition and was at odds with her, was also among the guests. As soon as Cynthia appeared, she glared at Violet disdainfully!
What made Violet even more devastated was that Riley was also in this show!
Riley was the most famous star in the show. The production team flattered her in all sorts of ways.

Violet could not help but smile bitterly. The production team did know how to choose the guests. Was this a big gathering for her arch-enemies?
If she had known earlier, she would not have participated in this show. However, now. that the contract had been signed, it was too late to regret it!
The filming started, and the host gave his opening speech on stage.
The intention of the jewelry design for this episode was mountains and rivers. The guests began to design based on this concept.
Violet thought that during the filming process, she would not have to communicate with anyone except Rose.
But Violet hadn’t imagined that Rose would have made her almost unable to finish the design draft.
The filming consisted of close shots of the two group members interacting, how the designers had been working on the design drafts; and the scenes of the celebrities talking about their ideas.
Whenever the camera zoomed in, Rose would instantly start giving Violet various suggestions and sn atching the camera. Violet could understand all of this. After all, celebrities had to fight to stand in the center position. They paid more attention to their every move under the camera than ordinary people.
Rose’s situation was like acting and adding scenes for herself. Violet could tolerate it.
But what drove Violet crazy was that Rose kept talking nonsense even though she knew nothing about jewelry design.
The camera zoomed in again and began to film them.
Rose immediately said in a very soft voice, “Violet, why not add a water droplet pendant here? After all, we design based on the concept of mountains and rivers!”
Violet was straightforward and did not know how to hide her emotions under the
camera.
She could no longer stand Rose for having acted like a know-it-all and been so dramatic in front of the camera! Sometime earlier, Rose had asked Violet to add the shape of a mountain, but right at this time, she told Violet to add a water droplet. Could this bet called a design? It was a little kid drawing literally according to the words ‘mountain and river!
