Lucca was on the verge of losing her mind.
After the plagiarism scandal broke, not only was she flooded with online abuse and vicious attacks, but two design projects she had previously signed were also suspended. When she went to work at the company today, many employees at Channing Group looked at her with open contempt. She was so furious that she nearly smashed up her office.
Lucca had calculated everything—except that Bert would strike her from the shadows. What she didn't know was that when it came to ruthless, underhanded tactics, Bert was an absolute master.
She cried and begged Channing to plead on her behalf, but when he returned, he told her there was no room left for recovery.
She was desperate. And she was furious.
For so many years, she had schemed and plotted to trample Catherine beneath her feet. Yet in the end, she was the one crushed most brutally—and with no chance of ever turning things around.
