All Chapters of Her Return, His Regret: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“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

“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

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

“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

Lora arrived at the Davis & Co. Jewelry Company, ready to forge ahead and grow the company that her dear father entrusted to her. She had just stepped out of her car when a familiar voice called out to her. “Lora…” Lora turned around and found Ryan looking at her with a wistful look on his face. She frowned and placed her car keys in her branded handbag. That morning, she wore a short white skirt and a statement-making jacket which were complemented by white pointed stiletto shoes. Her hair was pulled up into a neat ponytail and it accentuated her beautiful facial features. “Mr Kingsley, what are you doing at my company this early morning?” She asked. “I’ve been calling you several times but my calls went unanswered. Lora… I mean, Miss Davis, let’s talk,” Ryan remarked. “There’s nothing to talk about, Mr Kingsley. I thought I made it clear last time. Our partnership is over,” Lora replied coldly. She was determined to cut Ryan completely out of her life. The last few days had pr
