Chapter 631:
The assistant nodded sharply. “Understood p>
He’d barely turned to leave when Kolton’s fingers drummed once against the desk. The sound stopped him cold. He spun back around, hunching forward expectantly.
Kolton’s eyes became slits of ice. “Arrange for some influential figures to stir the pot p>
He motioned the man closer, leaning in to murmur his instructions. The assistant’s face went pale as he absorbed each detail. Sweat broke out across his forehead.
Even after working for Kolton all this time, Kolton’s ruthless methods still caught him off guard. The head of Cooper Group hadn’t gotten where he was by playing nice. He nodded quickly. “Understood. I’ll get right on it p>
Once the assistant disappeared from view, Kolton’s mouth curved into a predatory smile. He was curious to see how Maia would handle the storm heading her way.
Within hours, various hands began stoking the flames. Media outlets caught wind of the scandal and pounced, hungry for clicks and views. Independent bloggers and influencers jumped on the bandwagon, each desperate for their slice of viral attention.
The frenzy intensified when supposed witnesses crawled out of the woodwork, claiming they’d spotted similar designs overseas and had long suspected MCN of creative theft.
Social media exploded with opinions. “MCN’s star designer Eileen has always bragged about being completely original. Who knew her work might be accused of plagiarism? Is Maia’s genius reputation about to come crashing down p>
“This is insane! Just saw Maia’s birthday party trending online, and now this hits. Someone’s definitely got it out for her p>
“Where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire. Honestly, I’ve heard whispers about Eileen for a while now. Think about it! How can one person master every style and never run out of ideas? She’s either the rarest talent alive or a complete fake p>
“I actually saw designs like this when I was traveling abroad. Didn’t think much of it then, but now I’m realizing that dress looked exactly like something from MCN’s collection last year p>
The accusations kept flooding in, each anonymous tip adding fuel to the growing inferno.
“You’ve all been deceived. Don’t forget Eileen’s real identity is Maia, who was behind bars for four years. What, did she pick up fashion design skills in her prison cell? I’m staking my entire career on this: Maia is guilty as sin p>
“Speaking as someone in the industry, Eileen’s work has always been remarkably polished, every element carefully crafted, every detail intentional. I used to worship her talent, but discovering she’s nothing but a common thief? It’s crushing p>

“This whole thing is beyond absurd. I always assumed she was some prodigy who’d spent decades perfecting her craft under legendary mentors. That’s the only way someone could create work like Eileen’s! But reality? She’s a dropout with a criminal record. Finding out the truth felt like the universe was mocking me personally p>
“Maia’s delusional fans keep calling this ‘inspiration’ or ‘borrowing.’ Give me a break! The evidence is staring us in the face. What’s left to defend? As someone who’s been designing for so many years, let me be crystal clear: Maia is a fraud, a thief, and an embarrassment to our entire profession p>
“Honestly? I’m not even shocked. Her rap sheet speaks for itself. After all, she went to prison for stealing! She’s poison to everything we stand for as designers. Everyone needs to blacklist MCN and Eileen immediately p>
