Chloe's hand was still raised. Madilyn flinched, terrified she would be the next one slapped. "How dare you, Chloe! Do you even know who you just hit? That's Arthur, the CEO of Myers Group! You laid hands on him in public! Just wait for our lawyers," Madilyn spat, her voice shaking with rage. "Everyone here is a witness. You threw the first punch." "I hit a cheating scumbag and a scheming bitch. What you do in private is your business, but don't bring your disgusting act out in public." Chloe's cold gaze swept over Arthur and Jennifer. "Try this again, and a slap will be the least of your worries." Hearing this, Jennifer trembled and hid further behind Arthur. "Don't you get cocky! I'll have Myers Group's legal team send you a letter right now. I'll make sure you pay for this. I'll ruin you!" Madilyn's face was bright red. She pointed a shaking finger at Chloe. "Don't think having some powerful backer means you can do whatever you want! The law applies to everyone. You can't escape it. Everyone saw you hit him!" "Sue her? So funny." Leo stepped forward with a calm smile, his eyes settling on Madilyn. "Mrs. Myers, your public slander against our designer, Mirabelle, has been recorded by every camera here. LOVELESS will be filing a lawsuit against you." "What? Sue me? That's a joke!" Madilyn's voice rose to a shrill pitch. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Sue her? She had only spoken the truth about Chloe! What did she say that was wrong? That little tramp must have seduced that Leo. She clung to that rich man, got wealthy, and that was why she suddenly demanded a divorce from Arthur! Otherwise, what could a nobody from some fishing village possibly achieve? Charles must have lost his mind back then, always saying Arthur had found a treasure and should treat her well. Please! This kind of trash? Arthur didn't need her. He could find better women in a heartbeat. Charles must have been fooled by her sweet talk. "Tell me I'm wrong!" The more Madilyn thought about it, the angrier she got. She put her hands on her hips and sneered, "Just what is Chloe, anyway? She's been with countless men. You're her boss, of course you defend her. I think you two have an improper relationship. What's wrong with saying that? A country girl suddenly has the backing of LOVELESS—an international giant. Who wouldn't be suspicious? Am I right?" Madilyn turned to the crowd of reporters behind her, raising her voice so everyone could hear. So Chloe was Mirabelle now, a star designer. But even the best designer wouldn't have the head of a whole corporation stepping out to protect her like this. First, Landon from Cosmos Group, and now LOVELESS? Who was next? All these powerful men around Chloe... there had to be something shady going on.Leo listened to Madilyn's rant and actually laughed. "With that level of thinking, you think you're qualified to know who our Mirabelle truly is?" He gestured toward Chloe, then addressed the media. "Allow me to formally introduce Ms. Chloe Lewis—the founder of LOVELESS." Silence. Absolute, stunned silence fell over the entire venue. Leo was the acting CEO of LOVELESS. The brand had exploded globally over the years—it was everywhere, a true icon. In the fashion world, everyone knew Leo. But LOVELESS had never revealed its true owner. Leo had always managed operations as the public face—never the actual founder. And now, right in front of everyone, he dropped the bombshell. Chloe was the founder of LOVELESS.Being the top designer Mirabelle was impressive enough. But she was also the real owner of the LOVELESS empire? This was far more surprising. Whatever debates were happening in the live stream chats didn't matter now. The reporters and industry peers on-site were too shocked to speak. Madilyn stared blankly at Leo, her mind struggling to process his words. "You mean she..." How was that even possible? LOVELESS was a top-tier luxury brand—it had been a massive success for years, not some new startup. And its founder was Chloe? If Chloe really created LOVELESS, that meant she had founded it before she even married into the Myers family.
