Chapter 215:
Annabel faced the doubtful eyes of her colleagues with a relaxed expression. “Is that all, Bernice? If there’s nothing else, you should go back to work. This madness isn’t welcome p>
“What? I’m not crazy! I can’t believe you dare to even suggest it.” Bernice was furious.
Annabel was still calm. “Did I say that? You’re the one who said crazy p>
“You bitch!” Bernice was so angry that her facial muscles were twitching. She took a few deep breaths and told herself to calm down. After all, her goal was to publicly expose Annabel’s plagiarism.
With her mind refocused, Bernice snorted and asked, “What’s with your attitude? Do you feel it’s reasonable to plagiarize? If my memory serves me right, Ice and Fire will be launched in two days at a press conference. Are you planning to create a scandal p>
“Don’t worry, Bernice. The design department isn’t expected to get involved with the press conference. If you have time to spare, see about improving your department,” Annabel said sarcastically.
Bernice’s expression became even more twisted with rage. “I have never known someone so shameless. Everyone can see that you’re guilty of plagiarism, and you don’t even have the decency to admit it. I’m going to inform Mr. Benton of the situation and ask him to”
“Cancel the press conference p>
“Rupert gave me full authority over the press conference,” Annabel said with restrained delight.
“Impossible.” Bernice sneered.
She didn’t believe that Rupert could have missed the news about Love Jewelry. As soon as he saw it, he would know that Annabel was a plagiarist. There was no way he would let the press conference continue, let alone give Annabel authority over it.
“Believe it or don’t, but it’s the truth.” Annabel was growing exhausted with Bernice and her petty rivalry. There was a lot of work to be done in preparation for the press conference, and she wanted to get started. Bernice was simply wasting her time.
Your next journey starts at gⱯlnσν𝓮ℓs․𝒸o𝗺
There was obvious hostility in Bernice’s tone as she said, “You think too highly of yourself, Annabel. Why would Mr. Benton give authority to a proven thief p>
Annabel frowned and was about to respond when a familiar male voice said, “I left the press conference to Annabel. Do you have a problem with my decision p>
Annabel turned and saw Rupert approaching.
“Shouldn’t you people be working?” Rupert said coldly to the crowd that had gathered around Bernice and Annabel.
The startled employees quickly ceased their chatter and returned to their desks.
“Mr. Benton,” Bernice said, stepping closer to Rupert. “Haven’t you seen the news about Love Jewelry’s new collection? Their design is identical to Annabel’s p>
“So what?” Rupert asked with a frown.
So what?
Bernice was stunned by his response.
Annabel was clearly a plagiarist. Why hadn’t she been fired?
