Thaddeus tossed and turned in bed for a long time. Soon, he was sure of one thing. His insomnia was back.He found the sleeping pills that Lana had given him before and took one. Then, he slept in the study.The next day, he was woken up by his phone ringing. "We're in trouble, Mr. Holt." Jordan's voice trembled over the phone."What is it?""The people at Swan contacted me last night. Andromeda, the pendant featured on our official website for the new quarter, is almost identical to the one Lolly designed for Swan," Jordan explained. He continued, "Fortunately, they haven't made the finished product, but they have a prototype. I've compared both designs, and it's difficult to know which one is the original." Lolly was an extraordinary designer. When anyone's design matched the style of her designs, no one would be stupid enough to suspect Lolly of plagiarism. They would only think that others had plagiarized her.Jordan dared not bring up the plagiarism.Thaddeus was so sh

Moreover, Amy unwittingly found this draft in Thaddeus' files and thought the design was amazing. She didn't believe that Lolly designed this pendant.Everyone knew that Thaddeus tried to get Lolly into his employ. He tried tons of methods to find her but to no avail. He had never even met Lolly, proving he had zero connection to her.Therefore, the design draft in his folder couldn't be Lolly's.

She clocked out of work as usual, feeling even more energetic. Now, she just had to wait for the truth to be revealed and make everyone shoot themselves in the foot.

A new press conference was in full swing.Thaddeus couldn't even sleep after receiving the video Jordan shared. Now, all his hopes of sleeping were gone.In the video, the people from Swan took out Lolly's previous design drafts and explained them in detail. In each of Lolly's designs, there was a symbol on the ring of the chain. No one could see it if they didn't pay close attention.The staff showed the symbols to everyone with a magnifying glass. An "L" symbol was clearly shown.After they showed off Lolly's previous works, they took a printed copy of the draft Amy had posted on Twitter and enlarged it. The same symbol was on it. Everyone asked sarcastically, "Is the chief designer of Holt Jewelry trying to shoot

"We hereby declare that Amy Quilton, our chief designer, had committed plagiarism on her own initiative. We have no knowledge of her bad behavior. Since she has violated our company regulations, she has been fired. "Amy Quilton's actions have nothing to do with our company.

The employee elevator opened, and the people waiting outside the door went inside. In just a few seconds, the elevator was packed.Amy looked at the crowded elevator unhappily. She had shown her authority in the company, and everyone always made way for her. It was bad enough that they didn't greet her now, but they actually left her standing outside the elevator door without letting her in.She waited by the elevators for almost ten minutes before she managed to squeeze into one, holding the lunch box in her hand. She first arrived at the design department. Yvonne walked in with a cup of coffee, brushing past Amy as she walked to her workstation.Amy and Yvonne were usually close. Therefore, she was confused about why Yvonne didn't greet her."Yvonne, get me a cup of coffee with less sugar and no ice," Amy instructed, following behind Yvonne.Unexpectedly, Yvonne put her coffee at her desk and chuckled, "Amy, you can pack your cups and go home. You can't have the company's coff

The announcement detailing Andromeda's release was now replaced with an apology letter.As Amy read the apology letter carefully, she felt suffocated. It took her a while to realize she had been fired from the company. What hurt her the most was that Thaddeus didn't notify her or send her an email to terminate the contract. Instead, he simply released a statement on the official website.The apology letter even stated that she had plagiarized. By doing this, the entire design industry would know about her scandal. In other words, her career was over.Amy tightly gripped her mouse with her right hand. She was stunned, as if her soul had left her body.She didn't believe that Thaddeus would do this to her. He was the one who recruited her to Holt Jewelry and handed her the employment contract. He even told her, "Amy, Holt Jewelry will be even better with you joining us."However, now that a scandal had befallen them, he had abandoned her. Why? Why did he change his tune?Amy wa

Chapter 229

Amy's tearful rant didn't phase Thaddeus in the slightest. "Amy, you should be asking yourself if you've worked so hard just to give me a plagiarized design. Holt Jewelry doesn't need a plagiarist, and we don't resort to such despicable means. "Ask yourself this. How would you feel if someone took credit for something you made before you even published it?"Amy cried even more. She didn't think she was at fault. "Ted, why are you taking someone else's side? We've been childhood friends for over a decade!""Amy, be reasonable. I'm talking about your act of plagiarism. Your actions have upset me. Why did you plagiarize?""Do you hate me now? I've dragged Holt Jewelry's name through the mud. I'm sorry…"Thaddeus was speechless. They weren't on the same wavelength at all.Amy's face was wet with tears. Her eyeliner was also smudged, making her look like a panda.Thaddeus didn't dare to say anything harsh. He kept reasoning with her and advising her, fearing that she would try to ki

Besides, Amy had her own car. She arrived at the underground parking lot. As soon as she exited the elevator, she was splashed with a basin of unknown water. "Ah!" She screamed, and what followed were a bunch of punches and kicks.…Jessamine had been living in comfort in Quellville for the past few days. First, she went to a musical with Thomas. When she returned to the villa at noon, she planned to make some cheddar stew.Thomas liked her cooking very much. She wanted to take this chance to repay his kindness to her.
