Chapter 189

The official statement from Glorious sent the comment section into chaos.

"LOL, this press release sounds so convincing."

"Plagiarizing scum pretending to be innocent?"

"Waiting for the truth to come out."

Within five minutes, the whistleblower dropped a digital design draft. The timestamp in the bottom corner clearly showed it was created a year ago—while Glorious' new collection had only launched three months prior.

The irony? When Glorious had accused MY of plagiarism, their "evidence" only predated MY's design by a week.

Public opinion flipped instantly.

"Joke of the year: The plagiarist cries plagiarism."

"Glorious and MY should form a Plagiarists' Alliance."

"Don't drag MY into this. At least they never played the victim."

"Glorious' move is downright disgusting."

Mason Young stared at his phone, his face dark with fury.

"Get Weibo to take down the trending topic—now!"

His fingers trembled as he dialed Yvonne's number.

"What the hell happened with those designs?!"

Yvonne's panicked voice crackled through the line. "Uncle, I'll handle it—"

"Useless!" Mason kicked over his office chair. "Tell PR to issue another statement. Say we were victims too!"

Jason Zade's call came at the perfect moment.

"Mason, you'd better explain this."

"Don't worry, Jason. Brocade won't be implicated—"

By the time he hung up, his back was drenched in sweat. If their shady dealings came to light, he was finished.

Meanwhile, at MY's design department...

Sophia Reynolds burst into the CEO's office, phone in hand.

"Evelyn! Glorious just got exposed for plagiarism!"

Evelyn Sullivan didn't look up from her documents. "Hmm."

"Aren't you surprised?"

"Expected." A faint smile curved Evelyn's lips. "The show's just beginning."

Sophia's eyes widened. "You orchestrated this?"

Evelyn simply smiled.

Elsewhere, Yvonne cornered Bianca Quinn in a café.

SLAP!

The sound echoed through the private room.

"Bianca, you're dead!"

Yvonne's nails dug into her palms, snapping two of her manicured acrylics.
