"This must be a joke." Claudia could not hide her anger as she glared at her sister. She should have never trusted her instinct too much, she knew Harlow was an evil person but this was another level of evil.
"Yes, Mrs diamond Queen, it’s clear the Blackwood’s collection was the best. Do you have some grudge against your family?" Lia said.
"That’s true." Someone said.
"Harlow, I know I and your father have wronged you in the past. But do you have to do this? Why do you keep tarnishing our image like this." Elisa cried out sympathetically and murmurs started again.
"I think she was bribed, so-called diamond queen my foot." Lia tried to ridicule and downplay Harlow before everyone.
"I hear your complaints and I know sometimes it’s normal to be a sore loser." Harlow started, her voice calm and low almost soothing to the ears. Yes, she has mastered dealing with these people, and since they want to victimize themselves all the time, she will show them she can also be a victim.
"I know everyone expects me to give my family the win because they are my family, but that would discredit me." She said.
"I’m not saying giving them the win is a bad thing. But what good is that when there are better diamond jewels here?" She asked.
"Stop being biased Harlow, you’re just jealous the Blackwood’s company can stand on its own without you."
"Say it, Harlow. Tell everyone you’re jealous Claudia is a better diamond maker than you. Why do you keep trying to steal your sister’s shine?" Lia said.
"You got bribed didn’t you?" Claudia asked. "Eternal Blossom bribed you didn’t they?" Claudia asked convincing the people there that Harlow had accepted a bribe from the other company to make them win.
Since Harlow didn’t give them the winx she will strip her diamond queen status and discredit her so that people would doubt her from now on.
"That’s a strong accusation Miss Blackwood I hope you’re ready to show evidence." The CEO of Eternal Blossom said.
"Oh please." Claudia waved him off and turned to her sister, "How much did he pay you, Harlow? Is money better than your own family?" She asked and the murmurs got loud as a few people were already cursing Harlow out.
"Why accuse other people of a crime you committed yourself?" Harlow asked. "You have no self-worth and your diamonds have no originality," Harlow said.
"You claim to handcraft your collections yourself but they’re all repeated pieces from the old collections you have already made. You have nothing new to create yet want me to give you the crown as the best diamond maker without even putting in any effort." Claudia’s lips twitched.
"You accuse me of collecting bribes when you were the only person sending bribes to me without a knowledge I was the diamond queen." Gasp filled the air as everyone frowned at Claudia.
She had dared accuse their precious dia and queen of being biased and collecting bribes when in fact she was the one trying to bribe her.
"I... I Did nothing like that. What proof do you have to accuse me? I can sue you for defamation of character." Harlow laughed with Grace.
"Sue me?" She asked. "Did you have proof when you accused me of collecting bribe from Eternal Blossom?" Harlow asked. She was easily turning the audience against Claudia one after another.
She wasn’t the same person that would let them do whatever they wanted with her.
"Since you asked for evidence, I have them in abundance." Harlow smiled. She had one plan tonight, and that was ruining her family. She would gradually strip them of everything they thought they owned. That is the only way she could expose Elisa and her daughter for who they truly are to her father.
He may hate her now for her decisions, but she knows he would love her later.
A man immediately walked over with familiar gift boxes in his hands and Claudia’s eyes went wide. Harlow truly was the diamond queen. If she wasn’t she would have never received any of the gift boxes she sent to her.
"Allow me to read the penned written later to me." She mused.
"Dear lady diamond, I’m Audis Blackwood a girl who has looked up to you since a child. My company just signed up for your diamond competition. I would love it if we can hang out a little." Harlow started reading.
She dropped the little note and moved to the next one. "I sent you a gift last week and waited for your response and got nothing, so today, I decided to be straightforward with you." Harlow read.
"How much do you need to make me win the competition? One million, two, contact me. I’m Claudia Blackwood." Harlow tossed the next letter aside with the gift box.
"I can go one if you want." She said. Elisa frowned, before her eyes she was watching the daughter of that useless woman win over her daughter. History was repeating itself again but in the opposite form.
"You liar!" Elisa spat. "In other to frame my daughter you decided to go overboard. Claudia cannot send those things, she’s honest and doesn’t bribe people." Elisa said proudly.
"All of her accolades and accomplishments are gotten from hard work." Elisa continued and Harlow nodded. Of course, the mother hen standing up for the chick. But can they escape her wrath, because tonight, she had more than enough evidence to ruin them completely?
"You still think I’m lying?" Harlow asked. "These are the messages sent to our social platforms demanding they see me so that we can come to an agreement." Harlow showed the text messages on the screen to hear more gasp flying from one corner to another.
"Is this what the Blackwood’s diamond company is about, you bribe people and steal their ideas?" Came Harlow’s words.
"People like you do not deserve to even be in the diamond market. You have no authenticity, unlike the others." She declared.
"Please, take the Eternal Blossom piece of the next room for the auction," Harlow ordered the men there did as asked.
