They saw a stylish young man sitting in the middle of the venue with his legs crossed.
His fair complexion, heavy makeup, and how he carried himself exuded an air of arrogance.
Shockingly, seated beside him was Barbara, who had been fired by Stella just a month ago.
Maggie could not help but curl her fingers as she gazed at the two individuals in the audience.
The unexpected accusation at the event stirred a commotion among the guests.
"who said that?" "I think it's Chad Benson, the design manager from Grandeur Gallery." “They'recompetitors, huh?" "A lot of guests here are from the same industry.
The Velvet has been aggressive with its marketing campaign, and everyone came intending to learnand congratulate them.
My company also sent me to be here.
I was not expecting to stumble upon such shocking news." “What news?" "The Velvet's designer,Maggie Hart, used to work for Grandeur Gallery.
A few years back, the Chief Designer of Grandeur Gallery was exposed for plagiarism, and Maggiewas the whistleblower.
She openly revealed that Grandeur Gallery published her design under someone else's name and gotinto a lawsuit with her former employer." “What happened after that? Did she win?" “Win what? Bothsides suffered losses.novelbin
Grandeur Gallery faced massive losses when the scandal broke out.
However, Maggie did not have it good either.
She backstabbed her former employer, and no company would want to hire such a troublemaker likeher.
Surprisingly, she's working for The Velvet now, and the flagship product is being accused of plagiarismby her former employer.

Its design concept was unique, so it got many people talking about it.
At that time, no one knew who designed it.
They all thought it was a renowned industry expert newly recruited by The Velvet.
It was not until today's event that they discovered it was actually Maggie, the person who everycompany in the industry had blacklisted.
The fact that someone who exposed her superior for plagiarism had now been accused of it herself byher former employer made things very dramatic for everyone.
The Velvet's product launch event was organized on a grand scale.
Not only had they invited their existing customers, but also many media representatives and fellowindustry professionals.
