Silvia frowned. “What’s going on?”
“Yesterday, we released a product that we designed last quarter. It sold out as soon as it becameavailable in the market. All of a sudden, there were rumors this morning that claimed we plagiarized thedesign. Eligance even sent us a letter from their lawyer!”
Dulcie believed that Eligance was just taking advantage of MY Corporation’s popularity. She had seenthe sketches for their design, and they were impossible to plagiarize!
“Send me the design that has been accused of plagiarism. Do you have pictures of Eligance’sclothing?”
“No, but they mentioned that their clothes are available in Grand Thousand Plaza. I plan to check themout right now.”
Grand Thousand Plaza was not far from MY Corporation. “The plaza isn’t open yet. Head to thecompany first and send the accused designer to my office.”
“What about the news?”
“Ignore that for now. We haven’t figured out the whole story yet. If we respond, they might turn thetables on us.‘
“Okay.”
Half an hour later, Silvia was face to face with a cautious girl in her office. She found it hard to imaginethat a reserved girl like her could design such charming clothes.
Dulcie looked at the girl and calmly said, “Don’t be nervous. I called you here to ask you something.When you designed the clothing, did you upload the original draft to your computer?”
Reva York nodded. “Yes. I drew the first draft on the 3rd of May and uploaded it to the computer. MissReed, I really didn’t copy anyone!”
“I know. Don’t be afraid. If you’re innocent, I’ll do what I can to clear your name.”
“Thank you, Miss Reed!”
“Okay, tell me the idea behind your design and your source of inspiration.”
Half an hour later, Dulcie finally finished talking to Reva. After Reva left, Dulcie made a timeline of thedesigner’s work and organized her ideas.
Once she was done, Silvia said, “It’s time. Let’s go to Eligance and take a look. I want to see howsimilar our clothes are!”
There was only one picture online, and the clothes looked identical in it.
It was easy to come to a conclusion just by looking at the picture, but there were plenty more details toconsider in real life.
“Okay.”
Dulcie sent the finalized manuscript to the PR Department’s manager before she got up and left theoffice with Silvia.

About ten minutes later, they walked into Grand Thousand Plaza.
They went straight to Eligance, but the employees stopped them when they arrived at the
entrance.
“Excuse me, Miss Reed. Our director mentioned that people from MY Corporation have been bannedfrom our shop.”
Dulcis sneered. “What do you mean by that? Are you feeling guilty about what you’ve done?”
They smiled faintly. “MY Corporation should be the one feeling guilty. We’re just afraid that you’llplagiarize our other designs as well, so please leave, Miss Reed.”
When Dulcie heard this, her face turned red with rage. “Stop trying to slander us!” she said coldly.
“Miss Reed, you know better whether we’re slandering you or not!”
Their hateful attitude made Dulcie furious. She was about to continue arguing, but Silvia stopped her.
“Forget it. Let’s go back.”
“Silvia, let go of me! I have to teach her a lesson today!”
Unfortunately, she was not as strong as Silvia, and she was pulled away from the entrance.
Silvia finally let her go once they were far away.novelbin
“Why did you stop me? Eligance has gone too far! They’re jealous of our great sales, so they’recausing a fuss to take advantage of our popularity! How annoying!”
Silvia remained calm. “Can’t you see that they’re prepared? Since they have the audacity to stop us atthe entrance and even send us a lawyer’s letter, they probably have a backup plan. We might have to
go to court.”
Dulcie frowned, and her eyes were full of anger.
“Eligance is shameless!”
Silvia patted her on the shoulder and slowly said, “Alright, let’s head back. I’ll find a way to get a pieceof that clothing.”
