Chapter 387 Is This a Scheme By JK?
Leana knew Brady was swinging by and she was itching to see him, but when she hit the hallway, it was a ghost town. She stomped her heel, fuming. She was ready to throttle Violet.
With no sign of them, Leana had to turn back.
Meanwhile, Fanny, since Brady was backing Violet, had to hit up the reporter herself to set the record straight. As soon as she did, the internet blew up again.
Violet wasn't a celeb, but her online buzz was off the charts.
The main reason? Violet's killer looks. So, the netizens were all about her appearance.
As soon as Fanny cleared things up, the comments started flying: [Is this a JK setup? First, they trash their junior designer, then send someone to clear it up?]
[Truth or not, Violet's a stunner!]
[JK's Ms. DeVere could totally go for acting.]
[So, is JK just chasing clout?]
[Office politics are the same everywhere. I got bullied by senior staff too. Team Violet all the way.]
[So now the shady media and folks who trashed Violet are backtracking? How rich!]
[First time I saw Ms. DeVere, I knew she wasn't the type to plagiarize. Her looks scream honesty!]
[Why keep a designer who trashes others? Just to keep causing trouble?]
[Yeah, ditch that trashy designer! She's petty and slanders her peers, what a joke!]
Everyone was going nuts, and soon enough, the hate was all aimed at Fanny.
Fanny was feeling the heat from the comments.
But she had no choice. If Brady hadn't stepped in, she wouldn't be in this mess.
Fanny stared at the flood of criticism and insults online, feeling super pissed and upset. This was definitely gonna reach EU, and she had no clue if they'd still want her.
Plus, with her rep in the gutter, her future in the design world was looking grim.
The more Fanny thought about it, the angrier she got. She was fuming.
She blamed it all on Violet. She swore that even if her design career was toast, she wouldn't let Violet off easy.
Fanny glared at her phone as Max walked over. Today's drama had everyone on edge, and he was ready to lay into her.
If JK had another scandal about bullying newcomers, how could they keep their rep in the industry?
"Fanny, you've been with JK forever. Why screw up like this? Now Mr. Hall knows, and the public knows. How does this help you or JK?" Max walked up and started tearing into her.
Fanny, not one to let her pride take a hit, snapped back, "Mr. Green, I was just being honest. What did I do wrong?"
"You still don't get it?" Max looked at Fanny, fuming.
Max thought that when Brady chewed her out earlier, she'd get it, but nope.
"You think you were being honest?" Max's tone got harsher. "You trashed Violet. What's the upside? Have you seen the online comments? Is this what you wanted?"
Max always thought Fanny, as a senior designer, would be above petty jealousy and slander, but he was dead wrong.
