Chapter 1608
Chloe nodded and effortlessly cast a video from her phone to the larger screen, and one of the trending 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 crowd of journalists
speechless.
Chloe’s intervention was a breath of fresh air, garnering appreciation from all those present. But what was the
issue with the video anyway?
It wasn’t until Chloe descended from the upper floor, her rolled–up documents prodding Addie’s chin, 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, she was empty–
handed. Now, she held something that was surprisingly stealing the limelight Considering 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 need to 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?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe journalist scoffed, “Ms Summers, you entered Harper’s Mansion empty–handed. As we all know from the video,
you didn’t greet anyone from the Harper family when you arrived. You could say 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 to your office.
Instead, you immediately held a press conference and unveiled the content of the documents. 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–up documents 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 on Ms. 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 just waiting 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 was amiss.
“Ms. Summers, correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Elizabeth born into a family renowned for their embroidery 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 design world. The
crowd immediately erupted into a cacophony of whispers and murmurs. The journalist stood amidst the chaos,
basking in his triumph.
People loved to see those who were successful fall, and Chloe had learned this lesson from her past dealings with
Keira.
Understanding human nature and one’s temperament made it easy to control the narrative Most people 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 he made from this
expose. You must have proof to back your words, my dear journalist friend.” Chloe responded 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 old servant who was
expeiled ser witness”
Chloe cut in “Does she have eyes in the back of her head or something? She was on the ground floor, so how could
she see what i was doing upstairs?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe 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 get involved.
“Mr Robin had access to the second floor surveilance footage from Harper’s Mansion, which clearly showed Chloe
entering Elizabethis room and leaving with documents He confirmed that many of the design drafts, which had
been in the possession of Elizabeth for years, were missing i have video evidence 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 for all to see. The video mirrored
Chloe’s actions precisely as the reporter had just described. There was even a personal video clip from Robin. In the
video, he was dressed to the nines in a sharp suit, 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 mean you can do as you please anywhere, anytime. Gatecrashing Harper’s Mansion is hardly polite, and
managing 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 beyond comprehension.”
