Wayne was known to be a cunning businessman. He could tell that Lucy was calm because she knew that there was something wrong with the documents he had given her.However, he was suddenly curious about something. “Looks like you’re confident that your artist is the original creator of the comic, and you have no doubts at all about it.”Lucy closed the file in front of her and looked Wayne straight in the eye. She said with conviction, “Yes, I’m confident of that. These documents aren't enough to convince me otherwise. "Every piece of evidence here points to their artist plagiarizing from an artist of ours. As for the reason for doing so, I’ll let the artist explain it to you personally.”She turned toward the door and called out, “Come in, Maple.”Mabel had been waiting outside the door, but she did not walk in immediately when Lucy called out to her. She took a deep breath outside the meeting room and relaxed before pushing the door and entering the room.She nodded at Lucy and
Mabel lowered her eyes and sighed. “She was my best friend.”Wayne immediately understood the entire situation. He could not help but feel melancholic over this. This whole scenario was caused by someone with bad intentions. He did not pursue the matter as he did not want to hurt the artist further by reminding her of this.“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave, Miss Quinn, Mr. Erlington.”Mabel lowered her head at both CEOs. Lucy looked at Mabel sadly and waved her off.After that, she turned to Wayne. “Mr. Erlington, about this…”Wayne gave a wave of his hand. “I understand.”“Judging by the hand-drawn drafts she provided, I believe that she's the original creator of this comic. But what do you plan to do about Luna Arthouse, Miss Quinn?”Lucy closed her eyes, and when she opened them, she came to a decision. “Lulu Comics isn’t a company that’s easily bullied. They have to pay the price for plagiarizing our comic. I’ve already sent out lawyer's letter to them. This cas
Mabel did not dare say another word at the sight of Lucy’s dark expression. She went off to focus on her work, still looking fragile.Lucy returned to her office and began preparing for the trial next week.…Meanwhile, at Luna Arthouse, Wally ran anxiously into Luna’s office. “Bad news, Miss Quinn!”“What are you panicking about?”Luna interrupted Wally in annoyance. There were no outsiders around, and she did not bother to put up her warm and gentle act.“What’s going on? Why did you barge into my office like that? If you can’t give me a reasonable explanation, you can leave the company today.”Wally shrank back, but he still passed the document in his hand to LunaLuna took it from him and opened it nonchalantly. It was a lawyer’s letter.She accidentally knocked over a cup of tea and stood up furiously. She glared at Wally.“What’s this? Why is Lucy’s company suddenly suing us?”Wally shuddered in front of the enraged Luna. He did not dare to explain the reason.Luna di
“Don’t worry, Nana. I’ll find you the best lawyer we have. You’re too kind-hearted, Nana. You shouldn’t be merciful to people like that, understand?”“Thank you, Tim.”Luna’s tone was soft and coquettish.She was in a good mood after making the call. She sniggered after hanging up. What could Lucy do by suing her in court? Tim was on her side.Luna wondered how Lucy would react if she found out that her ex-boyfriend was helping Luna out with this court case. Luna began gloating over this, completely forgetting that Lucy was no longer interested in Tim.Moreover, Lucy now had a great husband who doted on her in every way.…Something similar was happening over at Lucy’s, but it was sort of the other way around.Matthew was speaking to Lucy anxiously over the phone, “How are you doing? Do you need my help, wifey?”Lucy sighed and perked herself up. “I’m fine. It’s just a small matter. I can handle it on my own.”The more Lucy insisted on this, the more Matthew felt upset on her
Matthew was a little speechless from being yelled at by his childhood friend.Charlie was a great friend, except for that temper of his.Moreover, he always had a temper if he had just woken up. He picked up the call because it was Matthew calling. Otherwise, he would never pick up no matter how long the phone rang. He would also make sure to get revenge on whoever called him for disturbing his sleep.Matthew shook his head with a laugh and continued, “Wake up, CJ. This isn’t a small case. This is the biggest case of all.” Charlie sneered at being just woken up. He put on his clothes and yelled angrily into the phone.“What sort of big case is this? Do you have any idea what sort of cases I take on? They involve serial killers and high-intellect criminals!“Is this all you have to give me? You don’t need to pull out the big guns over something so minor.”Matthew held back his temper. If it was not for his wife needing a lawyer for a case, he would never have called Charlie! Poo
On their way to Lucy's company, Charlie kept giving Matthew weird looks.Matthew's skin crawled under his gaze, and he finally blurted out, "What's with you? Why do you keep staring at me like that?"Charlie sighed. "I never thought you'd let your wife work, Matthew. I figured you'd spoil her rotten and keep her all to yourself at home every day."Matthew shot Charlie a frosty glance. "Spoiling her is one thing, but trapping her is another. You're a lawyer. Shouldn't you know better?"Charlie cleared his throat, now even more curious about Matthew's wife. What kind of amazing person could have such a hold on Matthew?They soon arrived at the entrance of Lucy's company. The receptionist, who knew Matthew well, quickly made a call."Ms. Lucy, Mr. Leon is here."After a brief chat, she directed Matthew to the private elevator that led straight to Lucy's office.Matthew pushed open the office door and froze. The desk was buried under a mountain of paperwork. What in the world?How
Once they had introduced themselves, Lucy set aside the papers she was holding and gave Matthew a soft smile."Did you manage to grab something to eat on your way here?"Matthew gazed at Lucy fondly. "Nope, I was waiting for you to finish work."Lucy let out a sigh. "You have to eat well even when I'm not around. What if you upset your stomach?"She was about to lead Matthew and Charlie to the company cafeteria for a quick bite when she turned to Charlie. "Mr. Jennings, any foods you don't eat? I can let the kitchen know. And what's your favorite food? I'll have them whip up a special plate for you."Charlie, hearing this, had to hold back a laugh. She was being so thoughtful, but the way Matthew was showing off their love was worthy of an eye roll. Matthew caught the look on Charlie's face and gave him a cool glance."Don't worry about it. No need to ask him what he wants."What? Lucy looked at Matthew, her face a picture of confusion. She thought, 'He's your buddy, isn't he?
That was when Lucy really started to believe that Charlie was a top lawyer, the kind who had never lost a case.She wondered to herself how someone could seem so different from one moment to the next. Maybe it was just his personal charm. As she thought about it, she kept a serious look on her face.She had the table cleared of food and took out the three notebooks Mabel had given her."These notebooks are full of my artist's ideas and notes for the comic book. They're way more detailed than what the other party has."Charlie frowned and let out a sigh. "This isn't enough to prove who plagiarized who."Lucy nodded. "I know, but we're going to win this lawsuit for sure."Charlie was surprised by Lucy's confidence. He knew the case would be tough, especially with such little evidence. Even the best lawyer could not make a losing case win without solid proof.Where was Lucy's confidence coming from? Sighing, she opened up Lunar Arthouse's comic online and pointed to the dates. "Loo
