“That’s not possible! This is my work and I have no reason to steal anyone’s work,” Lora said, her eyebrows creasing at the accusation that one of the employees made. She had spent a lot of time on her design for someone to claim she copied someone’s work.“Miss Davis, we thought you’re good at designing, so why are you claiming Miss Williams’ work is yours? It would be great if you admitted your crime and begged Miss Williams for forgiveness,” one of the colleagues said. “There’s no way Miss Davis would copy someone’s work! Do you know who she is? She’s the-”“Hannah,” Lora said, stopping Hannah Collins’ words. “But Miss, they-”“It’s ok. I’ll defend my work. This is my sweat and blood. I don’t know how it ended up being Miss Williams’ work but I’m not changing my statement. I designed this work,” Lora said with an air of confidence. “Stop trying to act high and mighty! This is Miss Williams’ design! See for yourself!” One of the employees, Bella Smith, said. Bella wanted to get

[Lora Davis, new CEO of Davis & Co. in a plagiarism scandal.][Ivy Williams and Lora Davis to compete in a week. Who will emerge as the real GOAT?][Lora Davis steals Ivy Williams' design idea.]The news about Lora’s plagiarism spread through the city like a wild forest fire and the internet was blowing up with headlines about the matter. Lora was passing through the main office when she heard the employees talking about the news. “This scandal won’t be good for our company. I’ve already noticed that the stocks are dropping,” someone remarked. “Yeah… I can’t believe they both came up with the same design. One of them is definitely lying.” “Who do you think will win the competition? Miss Lora seemed confident in the meeting room.” “Of course, it’s Miss Williams. We all know Miss Williams is a famous designer but Miss Davis is a nobody who got rich overnight after her parents rescued her from poverty. There’s no way she would win,” Bella Smith uttered. “I don’t think it’s right for

“Miss Davis is so popular,” Lawrence remarked as he waited for Ryan to sign the documents he had brought for him. “I thought she would be depressed about the scandal but it turns out she has a lot of people who have her back."Ryan’s hand that was signing paused when he heard that. He glanced at his assistant and asked, “What do you mean?”“Well, not only do her employees support her, but also, there’s a man who brought her flowers just now. They seemed pretty close-”“It seems you have a lot of time on your hands since you had time to see Miss Davis get flowers. Do you want me to give you more work?” Ryan said through gritted teeth. Hearing that a man brought flowers for Lora made him angry for some reason. He clenched his hands into fists and a flash of anger flickered through his eyes. Lawrence was taken aback by Ryan’s reaction. He cleared his throat and replied, “I have a lot on my plate already, Sir.” 'What did I do to make him so angry?' Lawrence asked in his mind. He had not

Lora had just pulled an all-nighter when her phone rang early in the morning. When she saw who was calling, her eyes lit up as she picked up the call, “Uncle!” “Good morning, Lora, I came back last night,” the man said on the phone. “That’s great, Uncle! Are you here for good or…?” Lora asked. The man chuckled on the phone. He answered, “Let’s talk in person. How about I treat my dear niece to lunch today?” Lora sighed. She asked, “Uncle, do you still not want to go home? We can have lunch at home. Dad misses you a lot.” There was a pause on the other side of the phone before a response came. “I miss my brother too but I’ll be nagged the moment I step foot there… you know I gave up the family jewelry business and your father wasn’t happy about it. So, for now, let’s just say I’m scared of his wrath… save your dear uncle, ok?” Lora laughed in amusement. She nodded even though he couldn’t see her through the phone before saying, “Ok, I’ll meet you in the afternoon for lunch, Uncle.

Days came and went… Finally, the deadline for the competition had arrived and everyone was looking forward to seeing the new designs of the two women. In the last week, the competition between the famous designer and the daughter of two famous designers was all that was being talked about in the entertainment and business news, so everyone wanted to know the outcome. That morning, when Lora arrived at the company, she bumped into Ivy Williams. She rolled her eyes as she thought, 'Just my luck to meet this troublesome woman as soon as I get to work.'Ivy didn't miss an opportunity to provoke Lora. She stopped her wheelchair in Lora's way and said in a taunting voice, “Miss Davis, I’ll give you a chance to forfeit the match before we go to the conference room. It would be embarrassing if you made a fool of yourself by copying my design and showing it to everybody once again."“Why are you so anxious on my behalf, Miss Williams? Don’t worry, I’m very confident in my work,” Lora respond

Lora’s laughter resonated around the conference room, making the employees stare at her as though she had grown an extra head. Was she pretending to have lost her mind to avoid the repercussions of her actions? They couldn't help but wonder. Ryan frowned and asked again, “Miss Davis?” The room fell silent as they waited for Lora’s response, still confused by her reaction. Why would she laugh happily in such a dire situation?Lora calmly stepped forward, her eyes gleaming with confidence. She smiled at everyone and said, “Miss Williams presented her design and now it's my turn. This was a competition and I have a right to present my design too before y’all jump to conclusions.” She gestured to Hannah, who went to the front of the room to help Lora display her work. Once the work was revealed, gasps echoed around the room. Their eyes grew and almost popped out of their sockets as they stared at Lora’s design. The design was so beautiful that it left everything’s mouth gaping in sh

“Miss L? The mysterious world-renowned designer?” Ryan furrowed his eyebrows and asked, his voice barely hiding his disbelief. The tension in the room was so thick that one could cut through it with a knife. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Lora, awaiting her response. At the same time, Lora was calm, her face devoid of any emotions. No one could tell what she was thinking. Seeing Ryan glance at Lora with so much interest in his eyes, Ivy gritted her teeth and clutched the arms of her wheelchair tightly, her heart racing. Something told her she wouldn’t like the outcome of this meeting. Sure enough, Lora took in a deep breath and finally admitted, “Yes. I am Miss L.” Gasps, followed by whispers erupted in the room among the employees. Others had dropped their jaws to the floor and their eyes widened in shock. Who knew that the woman they had accused of plagiarising was the mysterious world-famous designer whose work had taken the fashion world by storm? “What?” Ryan stared at Lora

Ryan narrowed his eyes at Jason. He asked, “Did Celeste tell you about the kidnapping? Or you did a background check on me?”“I found out about it myself. I’m offering my help only because I don’t want the culprit to keep hurting people for her own gains,” Jason replied.“Her?” Ryan remarked, arching an eyebrow. “You know the culprit?”Jason clenched his hands into fists. He said, “Trust me, I wish I didn’t.”“Who is it?” Ryan asked although he already had an inkling.Jason’s troubled expression told him it was someone close to him. If so, was Jason really going to help him catch the culprit? Or did he want to get involved to protect the culprit?“I can’t tell you right now. I need to find proof first. Once I do and it’s proven that the culprit kidnapped you and attempted murder, I’ll lead the police to capture them myself,” Jason proclaimed.Ryan studied Jason’s face again. His brows were furrowed, his jaw tight and his fists clenched.Arching an eyebrow again, Ryan asked, “Are you s

Celeste’s triumphant smile froze, her eyes widening in shock as Jason’s rejection echoed around the conference room. “What do you mean you’re not interested?” She yelled, her voice a mixture of panic and anger. “This is your chance to take control of the company, Jason!”“You mean it’s your chance to gain power?” Jason asked, looking at his mother. “I know what you’re up to, Mother, but it won’t work. I’ve never been interested in the company anyway. I only tried to fight for it to please you!” The room fell silent after that. Shareholders exchanged confused glances, their earlier relief now replaced with growing concern. “That’s nonsense! I only wanted you to take over for your sake. It’s your birthright as a Kingsley! You deserve the position. Do you want Ryan to take everything away from you? He already took your father away from you… you had to grow up away from us because of him,” Celeste yelled, no longer concerned with pretending to be a kind person. Jason pushed his chair b
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 151~ His answer
"I'm resigning as the CEO from now onwards and Jason will be the new CEO of the Kingsley Group," Ryan announced. Ryan Kingsley had been planning on how to step down from his position as the CEO of the Kingsley Group. Jason had not confirmed if he would take over as CEO, however, Ryan still announced it, hoping Jason was for the idea. A murmur swept over the room after Ryan announced that he would be stepping down. He looked at the shareholders’ stunned faces and asked, “Why the shocked faces? Isn’t this what you were all expecting?” Lora glanced at Ryan, confusion creeping into her. She didn’t know Ryan was going to hand over his position to Jason just like that.Why did he do that and when did he plan all this?Ryan sensed her gaze. He looked at her and gave her a small smile before he mouthed that he would explain later. Lora nodded, swallowing the lump in her throat. Deep down, she knew why he did that but she didn't want to accept it. For her, there was still hope for Ryan to

[Ryan Kingsley is in his last days and the future of the Kingsley Group remains uncertain.][The Kingsley Group’s stocks keep dropping following Ryan’s declining health. Could this be the end of the Kingsley Group?] [The Kingsley Group is on the verge of collapse as Ryan Kingsley approaches his end.] The news of Ryan’s deteriorating health spread through the city like an angry wildfire. Ryan was going through his phone, reading the headlines when Lora grabbed his phone from him. He was better now but to avoid getting another infection, he still stayed in the isolation ward. Lora was there for her daily visit when the internet went crazy with the news of Ryan’s condition. “I don’t think you should read the news. It will just stress you,” Lora remarked as she put the phone away. “It’s funny how quickly these reporters get wind of information about me. I’m guessing this is Celeste’s doing,” Ryan replied, his eyes turning cold at the thought. “She just won’t let this go until I make a

Jason stepped into the private room and found Ryan seated at the table. He was in casual clothes and his slightly pale face was illuminated by the soft glow from the chandelier hanging from the ceiling. “Is it ok for you to be out like this?” Jason asked as he took a seat. It was a bit awkward to meet Ryan like this. They had never had a decent conversation and with what happened with Lora, the air around them was a bit tense. “It’s ok… but I can’t be out for long hours. I’m more likely to get sick if I receive many visitors but being in the open like this is ok,” Ryan responded. Jason’s eyebrows furrowed and a complicated feeling coursed through him. He glanced at Ryan and asked, “Why did you want to meet me?” Ryan suddenly smirked and asked, “Can’t I ask to meet my little brother?” Jason scoffed. He replied, “We both know we are not that close.” An awkward silence fell between them. After a few seconds, Ryan reached for a file that was on his lap. He placed it on the table an

Jason had been laying low the last few days after his last encounter with Lora. Even though he had told her he would never give up on her, the resolute look in her eyes showed him that she would never love him in this life. That night, his mother had invited him for dinner, claiming there was someone who wished to meet him for business. Although Jason was no longer interested in fighting Ryan for the position of CEO, he still went to see what his mother was up to. To his shock, he happened to overhear something that shocked him to the core. As he stood outside the VIP room, his heart raced as he listened to the conversation between his mother and an unknown man. “Celeste, don’t try to act innocent in this. You wanted to get rid of Ryan, so you asked for our help. Now that I have nothing else to lose, I want to destroy the Kingsleys once and for all. I want Ryan to feel the pain of losing something precious to him,” a man’s voice came. “I’m not trying to act innocent, David. You we

Ivy had a smug smile on her lips when she left Ryan’s room. Her heart was leaping with joy. Finally, she had her revenge. Ryan was dying and Lora would be alone forever with her two little bastards. “Oh, Lora, you thought you could beat me… who’s the loser now?” Ivy said to herself and giggled. She entered the elevator and pressed the button for the ground floor. Since Ryan was in a coma, she didn’t have to worry about being caught. He didn’t know she had sneaked into his ward and he would never know the truth about the past. The thought of Ryan still feeling a little guilty towards her thinking she had saved him in the past filled Ivy with joy. With a sense of satisfaction, Ivy waited for the elevator to reach the ground floor. When it finally did, she stepped out but her smile froze when she found two men in suits standing outside. Ivy was about to make a run for it when the police who were behind the men came forward and surrounded her. “Miss Williams, you are under arrest fo

“I thought I would have to work very hard to bring you down... who knew the heavens were on my side and did the job for me?” The woman said mockingly. "Look at you... who knew the great Ryan Kingsley could be so vulnerable?" The woman sneered as she looked around the ward. She wrinkled her nose at the scent of disinfectant and strong drugs. The sound of the beeping equipment irritated her to the core. "So, despite being a rich man, you couldn't save your life. Serves you right!" “I loved you, Ryan. But you chose that bitch, Lora over me. You even made me a fugitive! Now look at you! You’re a dead man! Haha! In the end, I won!”That’s right. The woman who had sneaked into Ryan's room was none other than Ivy Williams. However, she looked different from the Ivy Williams everyone knew. She had dyed her blonde hair black and she wore brown contacts to hide her green eyes. With her hair styled into a fringe, it was hard to recognise her. Especially by those who didn’t know her. Ivy had

“Mr Kingsley caught an infection,” Doctor Steve told Lora. He cleared his throat and added, “I asked if he had come into contact with someone who could have had a cold and he said yes. In his condition, he’s susceptible to infections. His immune system has been compromised and his body is struggling to fight off the infection. We will keep him isolated for now and monitor him.”Lora’s heart sank. She looked at the doctor and asked, “Does it mean I can’t stay by his side?”Doctor Steve shook his head and replied, “No, you can’t. You can see him only once per day and before you go into the ward, you need to disinfect your body and change your clothes. Your husband’s health might deteriorate if he’s exposed to more bacteria.”Lora bit her lip, worry churning her stomach. She had called for an air ambulance to pick Ryan up earlier that morning.To say the children were scared to see their father motionless is an understatement. They were horrified.It was shocking to see someone who looke
