Chapter 105
The crowd's expressions changed, and they quickly opened their social media accounts.
After seeing the content posted by the whistleblower, the PR team at Orb Design Studio and Wayne's face turned extremely ugly.
The whistleblower had shared four audio recordings and several videos, each with a timestamp.
The first recording was a conversation between Wayne and Trinity, outlining a scheme to frame My Fashion for plagiarism.
In the recording, Wayne promised to introduce Trinity to LR Design Studio for employment if she could tarnish My Fashion's reputation. He also revealed that this plan was devised by the top management at LR Design Studio.
The second recording was a conversation between Wayne and Vernon. Vernon promised to hand over LR Design Studio's high-end clothing line to Orb Design Studio, with an annual revenue of fifty million.
The third recording was of Trinity resigning from My Fashion and Wayne arranging for her to work at LR Design Studio.
There was also a forty-minute recording of Wayne and Vernon discussing how to make My Fashion go bankrupt.
The remaining videos showed meetings between Wayne and Vernon, as well as between Wayne and Trinity. One video even captured Trinity's first day at LR Design Studio, which happened to be the day after she left My Fashion.
The moment this media content was released, the comment section of Orb Design Studio's social media exploded.
[Orb Design Studio is amazing! The way you turned the tables on them is truly impressive! If it weren't for this evidence provided by the whistleblower, we would have been completely fooled by them!]
[Disgusting! They resorted to such despicable means. I will never buy anything from Orb Design Studio again. The relationship between Orb Design Studio and LR Design Studio is beyond repair!]
[I remember Orb Design Studio sending a legal letter to My Fashion, accusing them of plagiarism on social media. They orchestrated the whole thing and made us look like fools. I can't believe I defended Orb Design Studio before. I wish I could go back in time and slap myself.]
[I don't understand this kind of business warfare, but the behavior of Orb Design Studio and LR Design Studio is extremely unethical and intolerable!]
The netizens were all criticizing Orb Design Studio and LR Design Studio, but the two studios remained silent, with no one coming forward to clarify or explain.
Orb Design Studio's stock price plummeted by three points, prompting the headquarters to give Wayne a call, giving him three days to restore the stock price, or he would have to leave.
On the other side, when the secretary informed Vernon about the situation, he was still in a meeting. Upon hearing the news, his face turned pale, he gritted his teeth. "Adjourn the meeting. We'll reconvene at ten tomorrow morning!"
Back in the office, Vernon slammed his phone on the desk and angrily said, "Block the news immediately. Get the relevant social media people to remove the trending topic. We must not let Felix find out about this."
The secretary looked troubled and said, "Mr. Vernon, this news is spreading quickly. I'm afraid we won't be able to keep it from Felix."
Hardly had she finished speaking when Vernon's phone began to ring. Upon seeing that it was Felix's secretary, Sophia Mars, Vernon's face paled, and it took him a moment before he mustered the courage to answer the call.
"Mars."
Sophia's tone was somewhat serious. "Vernon, Felix wants you to come to the Clinton Group now."
Vernon's legs went weak. He trembled as he said, "I'll go right away."
Half an hour later, Vernon walked shakily into Felix's office.
Meeting Felix's cold gaze, Vernon's face turned pale, and his whole body trembled. "Felix."
Felix put down the file in his hand and spoke in a cold tone, "Vernon, I need you to explain what's happening on social media."
Vernon almost knelt before Felix. "Felix, I know I was wrong. I promise there won't be such an issue next time."
"So, what's being said on social media is true?"
"Yes."
A cold smile appeared on Felix's lips. "Very well. Vernon, you're fired."
"Felix, please, give me another chance. I promise I won't do it again."
"Here, losers won't get a second chance."
"Felix, please, I really know I was wrong."
Impatience flashing in Felix's eyes, he immediately called Sophia. "Get security in here."
In the end, Vernon was thrown out of the Clinton Group by security.
He stood outside the Clinton Group until it was dark and only left in a daze when the security guard told him that Felix had gone home.
In Faith's office, she was so excited to see the situation turn around that she jumped up from her chair and quickly walked toward Gianna's office.
"Gianna, you're amazing! But how did you know that Orb Design Studio and LR Design Studio were behind all this?"
Compared to Faith's excitement, Gianna remained calm.
"I have my ways. Prepare to relaunch My Fashion's autumn collection tomorrow"
Faith naturally knew that now was the best time for My Fashion, and seizing this opportunity would definitely boost the sales of My Fashion's autumn collection.
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
"Wait, there will be a new designer coming to the company tomorrow. Have her take over Trinity's work immediately."
A hint of doubt flashed in Faith's eyes. "How did you find a new designer in such a short time?"
"You'll see when she arrives."
"Alright, I'll go and talk to them about the new product launch first thing tomorrow."
"Okay."
After Faith left, Gianna looked at the documents for a while and realized that it was already past six in the evening. She started to pack up and got ready to leave.
Suddenly, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Natalie, Gianna answered with a smile.
"Grandma Natalie, what's up? Do you miss me?"
Natalie's voice came over with a smile. "Yes, I miss my Gianna. You haven't come to see me lately. Have you been too busy with work?"
"I have been a bit busy lately, but I've sorted everything out today. I'll come to Harmony Garden to see you later."
"Great, bring Felix with you. I'll make your favorite grilled spare ribs."
Gianna paused, saying, "He might not have the time. I'll call and ask him later."
"Okay, the most important thing is for you to come. It's been a long time since I saw you last time."
A deeper smile appeared on Gianna's lips. 'Saying a long time, but in fact, it has been less than a week.’ She thought.
"Okay, I'll get off work now and be there in about forty minutes."
"Alright!"
After hanging up the phone, Gianna quickly finished packing and left.
Just as she was about to call Felix after leaving My Fashion, a voice filled with panic sounded in her ear.
"Gianna! Be careful!"
Just as she was about to turn around when someone suddenly pushed her, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground.
As she struggled to regain her balance, she turned around to see Trinity being held by Felix, with a knife in her hand and a look of hatred in her eyes.
"Gianna, I'm going to kill you!"
Because of what happened online, she had just been fired by LR Design Studio, and when she left, she was humiliated by her colleagues.
In a daze, she walked out of LR Design Studio. Suddenly, a person on a motorcycle with a helmet stopped in front of her, handed her a USB flash drive, and then left immediately.
She inserted the USB flash drive into her computer. There was only one video inside, which turned out to be a video of Gianna going to Naomi's house.
She immediately understood that Naomi’s change of heart must be related to Gianna, and it must be someone from My Fashion who let Giana tempt Naomi with benefits, so Naomi betrayed her!
Trinity was filled with hatred at the thought of her design career being ruined, so she bought a knife and came to kill Gianna.
She won't let Gianna, the culprit, get away with it!
Felix's bodyguards arrived quickly, took the knife from Trinity's hand, and held her down.
"Felix, what should we do?" Giana asked.
Felix's expression was cold, with no warmth in his eyes. "Call the police!"
