Chapter 162 Retribution
Maggie had the potential to further her education in college, to complete her studies, and even if she might not have achieved remarkable success, her academic qualifications wouldn't have been so pitifully low as to prevent her from passing company interviews. However, Selena's actions in the past had caused Maggie great suffering. How could Maggie simply let her off the hook? Not everyone deserved forgiveness; sometimes, being too soft was the root cause of one's pain.Selena was in disbelief; she had plagiarized the original author standing right before her. After the plagiarism incident, she had been plagued by unease for a long time, always feeling guilty, always afraid of getting into trouble, always afraid of being discovered by others.Years had passed, and Selena had gradually let go of that matter. But what she hadn't expected was that fate would arrange for Maggie to join the company, and they would confront each other once again.The employees in the design department were equally shocked; they had previously looked down on Maggie's academic qualifications, not realizing that all of this was caused by Selena.Whispers and murmurs filled the room.
"How could Selena do this? She's too unethical; she ruined Maggie's life."
"It wasn't easy for Maggie to get into college. Plagiarism is a stain on the life of a designer."
"If Maggie had been able to continue her studies, she would definitely be a famous designer by now."
"Maggie is really talented in jewelry design. I just took a glance at those design sketches earlier, and I really liked them. I can't wait to see the actual pieces."
"Fate is fair; Maggie's academic career was ruined by Selena, so she possesses extraordinary design skills."
"Selena is really out of line."
"She's getting her punishment now."Listening to the surrounding discussions, Selena's face grew even paler. This moment was definitely the most humiliating for her; she wished she could hide in a corner where no one could find her.Emily knew that Selena had prevented Maggie from completing her studies and felt indignant. "Selena, I didn't expect you to start plagiarizing from back then. As a jewelry designer, don't you feel ashamed?"Selena's limbs turned cold, feeling a bit unsteady. She attributed all these experiences to Maggie. Selena stared fiercely at Maggie. "We will meet again. No matter who supports you behind the scenes, the humiliation I suffered today will be avenged by you."After saying these harsh words, Selena packed up and left. In just a few minutes, news of Selena's resignation due to misconduct spread throughout the entire company, and even her assistant Amy was dismissed for her lack of integrity.Maggie had a complete victory this time, and she didn't regret pushing Selena into a corner. If Selena hadn't provoked her, she could have gotten along with Selena just fine. But if Selena bullied her, she could forgive Selena once, but she wouldn't back down again.At the end of the workday, Emily took Maggie to a boutique to change into a dress and do makeup. Maggie looked at the dress Emily had prepared for her and quickly waved it off, "This dress is too extravagant. What if something happens to it? It's also too revealing. I'll just wear the dress I have on."Emily had prepared a deep blue starry dress for Maggie. It was especially gorgeous, and any girl would fall in love with this dress at first sight.
Emily said, "You're beautiful and sexy, what are you afraid of? If I were as charming as you, I might wear even more glamorous clothes."Maggie laughed. "I still can't wear this dress. If my husband finds out, he'll be jealous. The dress I'm wearing now is more suitable. After all, I'm just going to join in the fun, wearing something too grand is inappropriate.""You're right. If the CEO of Visionary Futures Group likes you, that could be troublesome. You're already married," Emily joked, "If you weren't married, I'd introduce you to my idol. I have no chance with him, and it would be the same for you. I could admire his handsome face every day."Maggie found it amusing. "What's going on in your mind? How can you give your idol to me?""If he were with me, I wouldn't give him to you. But pursuing him is too difficult, not just for me, everyone has the right to pursue him," Emily said nonchalantly, "I actually just like his appearance and physique. I want to see if he really has abs and a V-line."When she heard about abs and a V-line, Maggie couldn't help but think of Fiorello's physique, her ears turning red.
Curiously, Emily asked, "Maggie, does your husband have abs?"
