Chapter 1523
She was just looking for a document pn Estelle’s computer. But instead of logging out after finding it, she continued snooping
around on Estelle’s computer and soon enough, she found the folder where Estelle kept all her design drafts.
She was clearly amazed as she went through the designs one by one. After a slight hesitation, she got up and started looking
around the room. Anyone at the press conference knew what she was trying to find surveillance cameras!
Seemingly convinced that there were no cameras in the room, Carmella glanced around one more time before starting to print
out Estelle’s designs in a rush.
The whole scene was recorded, from her initial surprise and hesitation to her final frantic excitement. All her actions were
captured perfectly by the hidden camera.
The room went nuts.
Jason said calmly, “Carmella was fired from Snowy Studios for plagiarism when she used to work there. But we didn’t announce
it publicly because we wanted to give her a chance to rebound. Who would have thought she’d do something like this again, and
even worse than before! KING has been attacked by Carmella more than once. She had the evidence, but she wanted to give
Carmella a chance to make amends. Sadly, things have escalated to this point.”
Everyone turned to look at Carmella with looks of shock, contempt, and even disgust.
Not only did she steal designs, she used them for personal gain, framed the original designer, and vehemently denied
plagiarizing their work. She even hired internet trolls to attack the original designer online. It was outrageous!
The reporters flocked to Carmella.
“Ms. Carmella, the evidence is clear. What do you want to say for yourself?”
“You swore you didn’t plagiarize. Aren’t you afraid of karma?”
“Didn’t you feel guilty when you incited your fans to attack KING online?”
“Do your new company Visionary Studios and people from Beauty’s Wardrobe know you’re a plagiarist? Are they covering for
you?”
One reporter shoved a mic in the faces of Terrence and others, “Are you Carmella’s family? Did you know she was plagiarizing?”
Terrence was so angry that he looked like he was about to have a heart attack. He pushed the reporter aside and stormed out of
the room.
Carmella’s mother and Natalia couldn’t handle the pressure either and quickly left.
But Carmella and Simone were surrounded by reporters and couldn’t escape.
Carmella was pale and shaken. The crowd’s contemptuous stares felt like knife cuts. She cowered and leaned on Simone,
“Mom, help me, please!”
Simone slapped her hard, “You’re such a disgrace!”
The slap left Carmella’s ears ringing. She swayed, blacked out, and collapsed.
After she fainted, the room became even more chaotic. Jason called an ambulance and announced the end of the press
conference.
With Carmella unconscious, reporters turned their attention to Estelle. Jason and Sophia protected Estelle and left through the
back door.
Harriet was left to handle the aftermath.
“Everything has been laid bare. KING will not be appearing in public in the future. If you have any respect for her, please reserve
her privacy and personal space. We thank the press for your understanding and cooperation. Staff will assist you to leave
shortly!”
