Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Chapter 1535

Chapter 1535 That person's words immediately drew the crowd's attention as everyone shifted their gaze to him.

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're competitors, 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 learn and 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 Maggie was the whistleblower.

She openly revealed that Grandeur Gallery published her design under someone else's name and got into a lawsuit with her former employer." "What happened after that? Did she win?" "Win what? Both sides suffered losses.

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 like her.

Surprisingly, she's working for The Velvet now, and the flagship product is being accused of plagiarism by her former employer.

What a twist of fate." A few days ago, the commemorative gift, "Rebirth," was delivered to The Velvet's existing customers.

As Stella had expected, the design was well-received, and the existing customers shared photos of it on their social media accounts.

A lot of people saw the design, and it gained plenty of attention within the jewelry design community.

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 every company in the industry had blacklisted.

The fact that someone who exposed her superior for plagiarism had now been accused of it herself by her 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 fellow industry professionals.

So, everything happening at the venue was being live-streamed by the media.

The security guards immediately tried to escort Chad out to maintain order for the event.

Chad stood up and shrugged off the security guards who tried to take him away.

He gazed at Maggie, who was standing on the stage, and said, "Is The Velvet just going to take the person seeking justice away instead of addressing the issue? I can't believe this is how The Velvet deals with its problems.

They have no respect for originality at all." The media immediately directed their cameras toward Chad.

Matters concerning plagiarism always garnered the most attention, so the reporters were determined not to miss this opportunity.

Chris scolded the security guards with a stern expression, "Why are you just standing there? Escort him out! He's clearly causing trouble!" Felicity asked, "Why does he want to kick him out instead of clarifying things? Is he an idiot?" Stella was about to stand up, but Keegan held her hand.

She turned to him and said, "It's going to be fine." So, Keegan let go of her hand.

Then, Stella took the microphone she was handed to and spoke, "Please let go of this gentleman." "Ms.

Hall," Chris came down from the stage anxiously, "We should talk about this privately with him.

This is a big matter.

We might have to end the launch event here." Stella looked at him indifferently, "Why should we?
