Chapter 214:
Annabel smiled. “If you trust me, don’t postpone the press conference p>
Again, Rupert replied without hesitation, “Then you will be in charge of the press conference p>
“No problem,” Annabel said, pressing her lips together in determination.
The moment she left the CEO’s office, she saw Bernice striding toward her with an aggressive expression.
“Annabel, you plagiarized?” Bernice snapped.
“Did you witness this?” Annabel asked coldly.
Bernice slammed a newspaper onto the nearest table. “Look. Your Ice and Fire is a copy of Marilyn’s design p>
Annabel glanced at the headline and skimmed the text. It was the same story she had already read on her phone.
Even Bernice thought she was the one who had plagiarized.
“I didn’t plagiarize,” Annabel said.
“Annabel, the truth is right in front of you. Why are you still arguing? Do you understand how much trouble you’ve brought this company?” Bernice raised her voice, hoping more people would hear and spread the word.

“Exactly what I said,” Annabel responded with casual indifference.
“Stop denying it. It’s a fact that you plagiarized.” Bernice raised her voice, wishing the whole world could hear and know that Annabel was a fraud. In the beginning, only a few people were privy to the design for Ice and Fire. Now, everyone in the secretarial department heard Bernice.
They began looking doubtfully at Annabel.
Marilyn was famous for her designs, and Annabel was just an unknown secretary who came from the countryside. How could she know jewelry design? She must have taken the risk to get herself promoted.
