Chapter 1608

Chloe nodded and effortlessly cast a video from her phone to the larger screen, and one of thetrending footage from a few days ago materialized before the crowd.

The video showed Addie, treating the servants in her home with disdain, a sight that left the crowdof journalists speechless.

Chloe’s intervention was a breath of fresh air, garnering appreciation from all those present. Butwhat was the issue with the video anyway?

It wasn’t until Chloe descended from the upper floor, her rolled–up documents prodding Addie’schin, that a journalist called out, “Stop!”

Chloe smirked and paused the video as requested c2

“May I ask, Ms. Summers, what is it that you’re holding right now?”

Everyone curiously focused on the object in Chloe’s hand When she had first entered the room, shewas empty–handed. Now, she held something that was surprisingly stealing the limelightConsidering the recent events, the crowd began to speculate. Could it possibly mean. ?

Facing the journalist’s question, Chloe raised an eyebrow. “Just some documents, nothing you needto concern yourself with.”

“But you did go upstairs in the video. What were you doing there?”

Chloe’s face hardened a bit. “Do I need to report to you every time I eat or use the restroom?”

The journalist scoffed, “Ms Summers, you entered Harper’s Mansion empty–handed. As we allknow from the video, you didn’t greet anyone from the Harper family when you arrived. You couldsay you barged in. And then you took something from the house. Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”

Chloe responded with a light smile.

The journalist continued. “Upon leaving Harper’s Mansion, you neither went home nor returned toyour office. Instead, you immediately held a press conference and unveiled the content of thedocuments. If I’m not mistaken, Ms. Summers, the design you made public is the one on Ms.Watson’s dress, which you took from the Harper family, isn’t it?”

The crowd gasped collectively, looking at the screen with a newfound realization. The rolled–updocuments and the later–revealed design seemed too coincidental The conclusion was inevitable.Chloe’s design originated from a less than honorable source.

“I used to live in Harper’s Mansion Isn’t it only natural for me to take a few things?” Chloe retorted.

The journalist smirked, a look of Ive got you figured out‘ plastered across his face.

“Ms Summers, since you’re so forthcoming, why don’t you tell us who designed the embroidery onMs. Watson’s dress, which you’ve proudly displayed to the public?”

Everyone’s gaze landed on Chloe. Even if she didn’t say it, they all knew the answer. They were justwaiting for her to admit it. Her admission would be very different from their speculation.

Chloe remained silent, the smile gradually fading from her face. Crysti also realized something wasamiss.

“Ms. Summers, correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Elizabeth born into a family renowned for theirembroidery in the South?” The journalist continued to press on as Chloe remained tight–lipped.

“Even if you are close to Damon and Elizabeth, using her design without her permission is theft,plagiarism, or perhaps you’ve simply appropriated someone else’s design?”

Theft, plagiarism, appropriating someone else’s design, these terms were intolerable in the designworld. The crowd immediately erupted into a cacophony of whispers and murmurs. The journaliststood amidst the chaos, basking in his triumph.

People loved to see those who were successful fall, and Chloe had learned this lesson from herpast dealings with Keira.

Understanding human nature and one’s temperament made it easy to control the narrative Mostpeople couldn’t stand seeing others do better

than them

Facing the triumphant journalist, Chloe knew that his satisfaction wasn’t solely due to the money hemade from this expose. You must have proof to back your words, my dear journalist friend.” Chloeresponded calmly, despite the accuracy of his accusations

But then again, she did have a grander plan

1 wouldn’t make such accusations without evidence Besides the video you just played, the oldservant who was expeiled ser witness”

Chloe cut in “Does she have eyes in the back of her head or something? She was on the groundfloor, so how could she see what i was doing upstairs?”

The journalist scoffed, knew Ms Summers would be quick with her words, but I have more evidence.Mr. Robin of the Harper Group can testify!”

A glimmer of satisfaction Rashed in Chloe’s eyes

Perfect

The crowd gasped at the mention of Mr Robin as a witness They hadn’t expected him to getinvolved.

“Mr Robin had access to the second floor surveilance footage from Harper’s Mansion, which clearlyshowed Chloe entering Elizabethis room and leaving with documents He confirmed that many of thedesign drafts, which had been in the possession of Elizabeth for years, were missing i have videoevidence as well as an audio recording of Mr Robin’s testimony

The journalist held up his phone, indicating that he had all the evidence at his fingertips.

Chloe flashed a sly grin, letting the reporter rush the stage. Under the flash of the assembled press,the screen of her smartphone came to life, displaying the video evidence she held in her hands forall to see. The video mirrored Chloe’s actions precisely as the reporter had just described. Therewas even a personal video clip from Robin. In the video, he was dressed to the nines in a sharpsuit, his face devoid of the warm, genteel smile he usually wore. It was bland, emotionless. “Ms.Summers, there’s a limit to everything,” he said. “Damon might indulge you, but that doesn’t meanyou can do as you please anywhere, anytime. Gatecrashing Harper’s Mansion is hardly polite, andmanaging the household staff is not within your purview. Moreover, you took away my sister–in–law’s cherished design sketches without a word, using them for commercial purposes. It’s beyondcomprehension.”
