Chapter 1278

"I'll go take a look outside," Oliver said, already moving toward the doors.

People dreamed of working with Oliver-just getting a meeting with him was next to impossible. Now, actually seeing him in the flesh? It was the chance of a lifetime. No one cared about the fashion show anymore; a few words with Oliver suddenly mattered so much more.

As Oliver stepped in to calm things down, the Harrison family's team started to move. The mood in the room flipped almost instantly.

Forget the runway—everyone's eyes were on Oliver. He was the main event now.

The fashion show had turned into a full-on business mixer.

Off to the side, Cole and Makiko stood together, champagne in hand, whispering quietly.

"Looks like something big just went down," Cole murmured.

Makiko sighed. “Yeah, this is a total mess."

Cole smirked. "Josefina always knows what to do. Just when things look like a disaster, she finds a way to turn it around."

Makiko nodded. "With Oliver here, honestly, anything's possible."

They exchanged a look and came to the same conclusion: Josefina and Oliver together were a force to be reckoned with. No one could beat them when they

teamed up.

Josefina went straight to the hospital with the models. Percy was already there, waiting for them, ready to take over.

She handed things off to Percy as soon as they arrived, letting him deal with everything from there.

Deanna and Alex trailed behind Josefina, the tension between them almost painful.

Alex wanted to say something, but the words just wouldn't come. He knew he'd messed up.

Deanna looked pale as she spoke, her voice trembling. "Ms. Josefina, this was my fault. If anyone needs to take the blame, it should be me

new here if I take the fall, it here—if I

protect the company."

Alex stared at her, stunned. He realized Deanna was doing all this for him.

He didn't know how he could ever repay her.

Lynn chimed in, her tone sharp. "Deanna, you really care about Alex. That's some loyalty."

Deanna shook her head. "Lynn, the bridal show was my responsibility. I didn't do my job. This is on me."

Alex finally found his voice. "I'm at fault too. I should've been on top of things. Whatever's on me, I'll own it."

Deanna looked at him, her voice soft

wrong. You're the creative director

but firm. "Alex, you did nothing

was handling everything behind

the

scenes If something went wrong it's my responsibility. You've got a great career ahead of you don't let this ruin it."

Alex pressed his lips together, looking completely defeated.

Josefina spoke up, breaking the silence. "I'm calling the police."

Things had gotten too serious to handle quietly. She needed to clear the company's name, and everyone had to see it happen.

No more secrets, no more sweeping things under the rug. People needed to know they were the victims here, not the villains.

Alex looked up. “Ms. Josefina, I'll cooperate with the investigation."

Deanna nodded. "Me too. I'll do whatever they need."

Lynn stood there, her thoughts racing. Who would do something like this to the company? If the company went under, she'd be out of a job too.

She clenched her fists, furious. Right now, she just wanted to hit something.

Just then, Josefina's phone rang.

She stepped away to answer,

pressing the phone to her ear. Kale's

panicked voice came through, "MS

Josefina, the bridal show disaster is

blowing up online. It looks like

someone planned this from

this from

start."

The very
