Chapter 4

I caught up to the two people in front of me and grabbed Claire by the arm, pointing at the display board near the entrance.

I didn’t even care that there were guests everywhere coming to the exhibition, and I asked her directly,

“Don’t you have anything to explain?”

“Why are the sketches I designed myself being displayed publicly, and why have they become Logan’s work?”

During this time, Logan’s name had been getting bigger and bigger under the packaging of Claire’s company.

And today’s exhibit launch had been specially arranged by the company for him.

Even before this, the media had been hyping up that Logan would reveal a peerless jewelry set to everyone today.

In the industry, there were very few people who could truly deserve the title of peerless design.

Back then, only works made by a gifted designer like me had ever been praised by the public as peerless jewelry.

Thinking of that, my eyes reddened slightly, and I stared hard at Claire’s face.

But she glared at me impatiently and answered with complete confidence.

“You couldn’t even keep your own design sketches safe. Why are you coming after me?”

My fingers tightened around her arm little by little, and I even felt like a big hand had clamped around my throat, making it hard to breathe.

Only she and I knew the password to the safe at home.

If not her, then who else?

Seeing the curious looks from the surrounding guests, Claire didn’t want to make a scene either. She curled her lip.

“Logan’s design drafts were lost, but you know the show tonight couldn’t be delayed, so we just borrowed your designs for now. Why are you being so petty?”

“Anyway, you’re already a useless cripple. Did you really think you could use those design drafts to make a comeback?”

“Instead of letting them sit in your safe as decoration, it’s better to give them to someone who actually needs them!”

I looked at her with her righteous tone and, after my brief shock, only found it laughable.

How could she say all that so shamelessly?

I didn’t see a trace of guilt on her face at all, and I took out my phone without mercy.

Seeing this, Claire tried to snatch my phone.

“What are you doing? Mason, I’m warning you, don’t do anything stupid!”

What else could I be doing? Of course I was calling the police!

From this moment on, I wasn’t going to leave Claire any face at all.

Seeing the two of us struggling, Logan rushed over to help too. Just then, gasps erupted from the crowd nearby.

“Watch out!”

Before I could even react, I only felt a huge shadow cover the top of my head.

For some reason, the sheet metal that had been supporting the display board above us came crashing down.

In that split second, Claire forcefully yanked Logan’s arm.

With a loud clang, I was too slow to dodge and got pinned under the metal board.

The sharp pain in my back made me cry out, and a thick, bloody taste spread in my mouth.

The scene descended into chaos, and someone called the police.

But when the emergency medics rushed toward me, Claire stopped them.

“Wait!”

“Logan’s palm got scraped by that metal sheet just now. Check his wound first.”

“He’s a designer. If something happens to him, you can’t afford that responsibility!”

As soon as she said that, the doctor froze in place too, looking hesitantly at me, trapped under the metal board and on the verge of death.

“But his condition is more serious.”

Claire didn’t change expression. She only said coldly, “I’m his wife. I can sign the liability waiver. If something happens, you don’t need to be responsible for anything.”

“Now just listen to me. Ignore him and check Logan’s injury first.”
