Earlier that day, Max had arranged a press conference to officially announce their relationship, following the photos of their date that had circulated online. He kept his promise to show her off to the world, which filled Chloe with a sense of pride and contentment.Chloe lifted her gaze to Ollie. "I have a feeling they will absolutely love it."Ollie shared the same confidence.

The news was hard to process, and the more she thought about it, the more the mixed feelings of rage and shock grew.What had Ollie just told her?Ollie was still fidgety from the news.

"They were my first work, and I really wanted my parents to be proud of me."Chloe took her hand. "Ollie…Ollie. Look at me." She looked into the teenager's dancing eyes.

He also knew how much the upcoming fashion display meant to her; she had been talking about it nonstop. He felt her pain and knew how heartbroken and devastated she must be feeling right now.Max held her tight as she cried, enveloping her in his strong arms. He didn't need words to convey his support and love for her. He just held her, feeling her tears on his shoulder and hoping that his presence was enough to ease her pain."I've always loved Emma," Chloe said between sobs. "We used to be inseparable. I don't know what happened or why she hates me so much."Max ran his fingers through her hair in a gentle manner. "Have you thought about taking legal action? What Emma did is a form of theft, and you have a case against her," he suggested.Chloe sat up, her face still damp with tears. "I don't have any legal claims on those designs, Max. We were going to f
