Chapter 227:
Leo?
A collective gasp sounded in the room.
Leo was a world-renowned, mysterious fashion designer.
No one had ever seen Leo’s true face or knew their gender.
Was this idea originally Leo’s?
If this was true, how did Annabel know?
“Miss Hewitt, are you saying that this idea came from Leo? Is that true?” a reporter asked eagerly.
“Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying.” Annabel’s tone was confident and calm. “If you have any questions, ask Anika Mendoza, the director of Leo Studio. She’s here today p>

“Bullshit!” Marilyn’s expression changed the second Anika spoke against her. “I came up with the idea first! I even published it two months ago! Do you have any evidence to prove that the idea was originally Leo’s p>
Anika sneered coldly. “I hate to break it to you, Marilyn, but Leo applied for a patent a year ago. It just hasn’t been made public yet p>
A patent?
How could that be possible?
Marilyn bit her lip nervously. “Prove it p>
Anika had expected such a response, so she calmly pulled a document out of her bag. “Everyone, look here. This is Leo’s patent certificate, which has already been verified by the International Patent Bureau. Originally, Leo intended to use this invention on the buttons of his next clothing line, but the patent’s scope also includes jewelry design p>
