NovelEnglishChapter 1094: "I'm inclined to believe Abram. A stuthat's reached this level of success can't possibly be run by amateurs." "But Ms. Clarke's technique in brooch repair earlier was extraordinary. That was no simple task — it was far more complex than designing leather shoes." “I think both of them are lying. Maybe the design belongs to someone else, and they're just bickering over it." "Actually, there could be a misunderstanding. Neither of them seems like the type to engage in something like this." From the sidelines, Melany watched the unfold with a deep sense of satisfaction. She feigned a look of profound disappointment and turned to Colton. "Colton, today is Mr. Morgan's birthday. What Allison is doing right now is probably going to upset him." Melany attempted to grasp Colton's arm, but he swiftly shook her off, his impatience evident. Swallowing her frustration, she continued, "The key issue is that Abram designed our gift. If something happens to him..." She let the sentence hang in the air, knowing that Colton would catch her meaning.

At this point, regardless of whether Abram was the one in the wrong, the scandal needed to be contained. If it wasn't, the Stevens Group would risk being painted with the sbrush as the cartoonist Onyx's scandal from a few months prior.

Colton exhaled deeply, his mind racing. As the person who had presented the gift, he couldn't afford to let any scandal stain his nor his company's.
He turned back to Allison, his tone soft but firm. "Allison, no matter what, I believe you. But with the phone records as evidence, it's hard to refute the accusations.” He fought to keep his emotions in check.
"Still, I have to say, this doesn't mean I think you're guilty of plagiarism. As Mr. Morgan pointed out, your ability to design such a remarkable brooch speaks for your talent." He spoke carefully, trying to de-escalate the growing tension. "It seems like misunderstandings have clouded the situation on both sides. Let's consider it as if nothing ever happened, so that we-" Before he could finish, Kellan's voice cut through the room with a sharp, derisive laugh. “As if nothing ever happened?" His gaze was cold as ice, his words cutting through the tension like a blade.

Allison was momentarily taken aback. From the moment Colton had spoken, she had known he wouldh ultimately choose the the company's interests over hers. It was always the swith him — no matter what happened, he just wanted her to endure it and act as if it hadn't affected her.
But now, for the first time, someone stood before her and said, If Allison didn't do it, then she didn't do it.”
