Chapter 142

Calvin didn't even realize how he managed to walk out of the banquet hall. He was extremely regretful. He regretted agreeing to Judy's request to impersonate Shauna. He even regretted leaving Elvira. He didn't dare imagine what would happen if Elvira sued him and Judy. If Judy's impersonation and plagiarism became known, Kennedy Group's jewelry would remain unsold.

Judy wasn't having a good time either. All she wanted to do was go home and talk to Amber so Amber could help her navigate the crisis.

In the car, Calvin suddenly turned to Judy and asked, "Did you plagiarize Elvira's work?"

"Of course not. I… I designed those works. My sister set me up!" Judy refused to admit she had used those sketches instead of finishing her own designs.

Since she still wasn't telling him the truth at this critical moment, Calvin was furious. "The truth has been revealed, but you're still quibbling! I'm in deep trouble because of you! Kennedy Group is finished because of you!"

"Calvin, don't believe my sister. I'm really innocent! Those sketches…" Judy grabbed his hand and tried to defend herself.

"Shut up! You've really ruined me this time!" Calvin hugged his head in pain. He felt terrified thinking about what he would face next.

Judy tried to say something. "Calvin…"

"Do you know the biggest difference between you and Elvira? Elvira has never lied! You lie through your teeth. You're a liar who never tells the truth!" Calvin finally realized the truth, unfortunately, too late.

Judy looked at him in shock. "Calvin, how can you say that about me? Besides, I had your permission to pretend to be Shauna! If you hadn't agreed, I wouldn't have done it!"

Calvin was already annoyed and furious. When he heard her shift the blame, he became even angrier. "Yes, I agreed, but you didn't tell me you didn't draw your drafts. I saw that your work was very similar to Elvira's, so… You've ruined my family!"

Calvin was like a trapped beast. His eyes were red. He never expected Judy to be so immoral. Not only did she impersonate Shauna, but she also used Elvira's discarded drafts.

"Calvin, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong. Don't blame me. Let's think of a way to get through this crisis together." Judy was flustered. She knew the situation was serious. If her impersonation and plagiarism were exposed, she would be doomed.

Judy still wanted to fight. Her reputation was already severely damaged. Now that she had finally relied on this design to make a name for herself, her reputation couldn't withstand any more torment.

"How can we get through this? Our family is completely doomed now!" Calvin was discouraged. He thought he could only complete the products by borrowing money. If the impersonation and plagiarism were exposed, those products would be worthless.

He knew he was to blame for this situation because he was too stupid and blind. Judy had clearly lied repeatedly and even used a baby she had abandoned to frame Elvira. Calvin didn't know why he believed she was just muddle-headed and could change. It was clearly her nature; she was a liar and could never change.

Calvin was filled with hatred and helplessness. He felt like crying as he didn't know how to salvage the situation.

"No, Calvin. Let's go and beg Elvira to let us off. With your relationship with her, she'll definitely agree," Judy said, grabbing his hand.

Calvin forcefully retracted his hand. He looked at the chauffeur and said, "Stop the car."

Judy saw that Calvin had listened to her and thought she still had a chance, so she said, "Calvin, are you going to beg Elvira now? Let's wait outside for her to come out. Even if I have to kneel to her, I will ask her not to destroy us."

The car stopped. Calvin opened the door and got out. He was no longer willing to ride in the same car as Judy. He said, "Elvira never wanted to destroy you and me. We're in the wrong, but you never admitted it. Instead, you kept blaming her. Let's break up! I can't marry you."

Calvin closed the car door and walked away.

Judy couldn't believe what she was hearing. She immediately wanted to open the door and get out of the car, but the chauffeur had already driven off.

"Stop the car now!" Judy shouted. She was scared. She didn't want to break up with Calvin. Even if she had deceived everyone, she truly liked him.

The chauffeur stopped the car. Judy opened the door and wanted to chase after Calvin, but she was knocked to the ground by a speeding scooter. The scooter rider also fell. Judy's hands and knees were scraped, and she cried. When she looked up again, Calvin was gone.

When Calvin returned to the hotel, he stood there for a long time. He saw Elvira and Charles walking out, chatting and laughing. She was dressed in a red dress and looked bright and confident. She was like a ball of fire that attracted everyone's attention.

It was only now that Calvin realized that Elvira had really changed. She was no longer the submissive little girl from the Willis family. She was no longer the suppressed girl, nor the woman who had wooed him and begged him to marry her.

Now, Elvira was confident, calm, and generous. There was light in her eyes. She was like a phoenix reborn from the flames. She was exceptionally dazzling.

Calvin's heart suddenly ached. The beautiful memories he had with Elvira overwhelmed him, making him almost unable to breathe.

Elvira and Charles said goodbye and got into the car. As Cole drove, he said, "Calvin has been watching you from over there."

Elvira glanced at Calvin aloofly and said, "Ignore him."

Everything that happened to Kennedy Group today was caused by Calvin's wrong choice. Elvira had already reminded him not to invest in the scam designed by Judy.

Elvira didn't expect Calvin to take on high-interest loans to make a comeback. Now that Judy's impersonation and plagiarism were exposed, his investment would be lost, and Kennedy Group would face bankruptcy.

When Judy returned home, Amber saw that her daughter, who had clearly gone to the banquet in high spirits, had returned injured. Amber was distressed. She screamed, "Judy, what happened to you? How did you get injured? Where are the servants? Hurry up and get the first aid kit!"
