Chapter 225:
“But as far as I know, Let Yourself Go was only announced in the media two days ago. How can you prove that Benton Group copied your work?” the reporter inquired further.
Marilyn waved the magazine in her hand and said, “As I said earlier, my design was published in a fashion magazine just days after I was done with it. I recently signed a contract with Love Jewelry, so Let Yourself Go was realized just two days ago p>
Annabel watched as Marilyn and the reporter echoed each other.
Her suspicion was confirmed; Love Jewelry had sent their minions to cause a disruption here and sabotage the success of Benton Group’s new series. Marilyn had also shown up, bringing her so-called evidence to prove that Benton Group had plagiarized.
Annabel was going to allow her to enjoy the attention for a while.
While all this was happening, Heather was smiling from ear to ear.
The plan she had made was supposed to be set in motion during the celebration dinner in the evening. However, it was thrilling to watch things go downhill for Annabel during the press conference.
Her greatest enemy was being disgraced at such a crucial moment.
This was sure to cause a lot of trouble for Benton Group.
Heather believed that Rupert wouldn’t tolerate such a huge mistake. After all, he valued the business more than anything.
He would fire Annabel at the very least.
Heather still had a big surprise for Annabel up her sleeve. She was confident that she would be able to get rid of her tonight.
Heather chuckled as she watched the exciting live drama.
The reporter asked Marilyn respectfully, “Can you show us this fashion magazine p>
“Of course!” Marilyn smiled.
She opened the fashion magazine for all to see.

It was called Storm. Annabel had never heard of it before.
There was indeed a publication of a design similar to Let Yourself Go. It was also stated that it could change colors under different lighting in the environment.
“There you have it, guys! Ice and Fire is a copy of my design!” Marilyn’s eyes turned cold as she looked at Annabel provocatively. “It’s a criminal offense to steal someone else’s idea. I demand that Benton Group apologize, destroy all the Ice and Fire products, and also pay me fifty million dollars as compensation p>
A tumult of surprised shouts broke out in the room immediately.
Fifty million wasn’t a big deal for a company like Benton Group, but public image was.
For many decades, the company had enjoyed a good reputation. It had never been accused of even slight misappropriation, let alone something as serious as plagiarism.
However, to the guests and reporters here, the situation seemed indisputable.
The magazine Marilyn presented appeared to prove beyond reasonable doubt that her design had come out before Ice and Fire was conceived.
Annabel couldn’t help but look at the platform.
Rupert was seated there with his legs crossed leisurely, as if he wasn’t disturbed by the drama going on at all.
