Chapter 132 There's a Traitor
Benjamin sneered, not listening to their explanations, "She could have memorized all the designs in her mind beforehand, then draw a little bit every day, just for show!"
"I didn't..." Abigail couldn't defend herself, tears of grievance falling, "I drew these myself. If we have to say it's plagiarism, then they must have plagiarized my works first!"
Upon hearing this, Benjamin laughed, "Who are they? The Clothes Company! A well-known clothing company! The designer Andrew created these 23 new products. And who are you? A young and inexperienced rookie. Does he even know you? Where did he plagiarize your works?"
"I..." Abigail truly felt like there was no way to clear her name!
"If you are truly so talented in design, then why haven't we seen any stunning works from you before?"
Abigail hurriedly explained, "Before drawing these sketches, I received a lot of guidance from Miss Medici, and inspiration came continuously. That's how I created these!"
If it wasn't for Abella...
Inspired, she has not made any progress up till now!
Benjamin sneered, "Why does it sound like Miss Medici instructed you to plagiarize someone's work?"
"No!" Abigail, both angry and anxious, wiped her tears and continued, "You can misinterpret my meaning and insult me all you want, but you cannot insult Miss Medici! Miss Medici is not that kind of person! She would never do such a thing!"
"You're getting so worked up, it's easy for people to misunderstand, you're either defending your ally or afraid of being exposed..."
"You've gone too far!" Abigail clenched her fist, wanting to throw a punch, too much bullying!
Just then, a cold voice rang out.
"How old is Benjamin? Bullying a young girl?"
Everyone turned to the sound, it was Miss Medici, Miss Medici has arrived!!
The crowd looked at Abella's eyes, as if they saw a savior...
Before Abella came, their entire department, especially Abigail, had already suffered quite a lot!
"Miss Medici..." Abigail saw her, a myriad of emotions welled up in her eyes, her fist loosened, tears rolling down.
"Wipe away the tears." Abella glanced at Abigail and gently said, "A clear conscience fears no accusation, true gold fears no fire."
Abigail obediently nodded and immediately wiped away her tears.
Benjamin looked at Abella's protective attitude and chuckled, "The company is in such a big mess, I just found out what happened, and Miss Medici comes to meddle. People who don't know might think Miss Medici is here to take credit."
Abella coldly curved her lips, "Benjamin is so impatient to make someone confess, even more anxious than the police. People who don't know might think you're in a hurry to find someone to take the blame."
With these words, the entire department was shocked...
Benjamin's face immediately changed, "What do you mean? It's obvious that Abigail, being young and not studying well, plagiarized someone's work in hopes of becoming famous!"
"Oh, are you the tapeworm in her stomach? Do you know her thoughts?"
Benjamin fumed, "I know you two are close, but she made such a big mistake and headquarters has already held her accountable! You cannot protect her!"
"Whether she can be protected or not, is it up to you to decide?"
If headquarters held her accountable, why hasn't she heard anything about it?
Benjamin, a vice president, received the news before her?
It's obvious that this old man is deceiving people! Using headquarters to put pressure on her!
"This time, we have already produced 110,000 pieces of the new product, worth tens of millions, just sitting in the warehouse! We have 23 different designs. I dare you to release them tomorrow! Instead of arguing with me here, submit your resignation! Please ask headquarters for help, at least we can salvage some losses!"
Although he said this, Benjamin knew better than anyone that in such a tight timeframe, headquarters can only save some economic losses.
In terms of credit...we estimate that we will suffer heavy losses!
The warehouse has stock, but we cannot sell it. The agreed-upon deadline has passed, but the goods have not been delivered. Losing trust in others is Bass's biggest taboo!
Benjamin secretly delighted, this girl, she's done for now!
"Call a meeting!" Abella said this and left the design department first.
The executives of the entire company hurried to the conference room, with Abella sitting in the main seat, still exuding a strong boss aura.
Despite such a situation, not a trace of panic could be seen on her face...
People silently admired her in their hearts, Miss Medici's mental resilience is truly strong...
"Miss Medici, the 23 garments from The Clothes Company are exactly the same as ours in terms of color, pattern, workmanship, and even the length and thickness of the clothes! It is impossible for such a coincidence to occur!"
"They previously hired a celebrity spokesperson and now those new products are selling exceptionally well. When people see the new products, they will naturally assume that they were designed by The Clothes Company first!"
"At present, we have no evidence to prove that they plagiarized Abigail's work. It seems more like Abigail copied theirs."
"If those goods in the warehouse cannot be sold, we will lose a lot of money!"
"Miss Medici, Abigail drew the design sketches. Could it be that she made a mistake?"
"No, she wouldn't." Abella interrupted before she could finish, affirming, "Abi would never do such a thing, let alone betray the company."
"Are you a mind-reader?" Benjamin retorted with Abella's previous words. "You can judge a person's character by their appearance, but not their true intentions..."
"I am not a mind-reader, but unlike some people whose brains lack drainage pipes, my intelligence is not as thin as the air on the plateau."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean you have low intelligence." Abella straightforwardly said, "Which plagiarist would simply copy 23 designs without any changes? Can you use your brain even a little bit?"
"You..." Benjamin temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart!
He was certain that Abella would soon be removed from that main seat, while Abigail would bear the accusation of plagiarism. The Medici family would hold her responsible, and she would not only have to compensate for massive losses but also go to prison...
By then, the position of CEO would still be his!
Whatever Abella does now is useless!
Abella's gaze fell on everyone, "Now, in this meeting, we only have two questions. First, I firmly believe that Abi did not plagiarize. I trust her character. So, the question is, if the design sketches were indeed created by her, why did they end up in the hands of a rival company? And why was the rival company able to produce them ahead of us and promote them extensively? It feels like they are mocking us."
She said this and glanced at Benjamin, who turned his face away, impatient to listen to her speak.
"These 23 new products, only the members of the design department and I..."
"Having read, if this were to get into the hands of our rival company, then the mole would be among a few of us," Benjamin thought Abella's possibility was the highest...
However, Abella added, "Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility of someone using despicable methods to betray the company..."
