Unaware of the looming threat, Aveline continued focusing on the Bloom and Grace center and searching for clients while designing her floral art for the exhibit.
Meanwhile, the evidence against Damien for forgery and falsification stood solid. His status changed from detainment for interrogation to custody, and he was formally charged under the law.
Scarlett's boyfriend, Nathaniel Rousseau aka Nate, who had been working in the shadows, completed another major corporate espionage operation.
