Chapter 95
Gianna frowned, "What's going on?"
"Yesterday, MY FASHION's designs from last season, which were just released, sold out immediately. But this morning, they were accused of plagiarism, and Orb Design Studio even sent a legal letter!"
Faith felt that Orb Design Studio was trying to get publicity. She had seen MY FASHION's designs from last season and knew they couldn't have copied them.
"Send me the design that MY FASHION is accused of copying, and do they have photos of their clothes?"
"No, but Orb Design Studio claims that the allegedly copied outfit is available at the Queen’s Mall. I'm planning to go and take a look."
The Queen’s Mall wasn't far from MY FASHION. Gianna suggested, "The mall isn't open yet. Let's go to the company first and bring the accused designer to my office."
"What about the news of MY FASHION's plagiarism online?" Faith asked.
"Don't worry about it for now. We haven't figured out the whole story yet. Our response might lead to unexpected actions from the other side." Gianna replied calmly.
"Alright." Faith agreed.
Half an hour later, in Gianna's office.
Gianna looked at the girl in front of her, finding it hard to imagine that such a subtle girl could create such an extravagant piece of clothing.
Faith looked at the girl and calmly said, "Don't be nervous. I called you here to ask when you designed this outfit and if you uploaded the original draft to the computer."
Trinity nodded, "The initial design of this outfit was completed on May 3, and I uploaded it to the computer. Mr. Walton, I really didn't plagiarize!"
"I know. Don't be afraid. As long as you're innocent, I will definitely investigate to clear your reputation." Faith said.
"Thank you, Mr. Walton!" Trinity replied.
"Alright, tell me about the design concept of this outfit and its sources of inspiration," Faith said.
Half an hour later, Faith started organizing the timeline and Trinity's creative process after finishing her conversation with Trinity.
When she was done, Gianna spoke, "It's about time. Let's go to Orb Design Studio. I want to see how similar the allegedly copied outfit they mentioned is to Trinity's design!"
There were only pictures online, and they looked similar for about sixty percent. It's easy to be misled just by looking at photos, but many details need to be seen in person.
"Okay."
Faith sent the prepared document to the PR specialist department manager and then left the office with Gianna.
Ten minutes later, Gianna and Faith arrived at Queen’s Mall.
The two of them headed straight to Orb Design Studio, but as soon as they reached the entrance, the staff stopped them.
"Mr. Walton, I'm sorry, but our director has issued an instruction that MY FASHION's people are not allowed to enter our store."
Faith sneered, "What do you mean? Are you feeling guilty?"
The other person smiled slightly, "It should be MY FASHION that feels guilty. We're just afraid that their other clothes will be copied, so Mr. Walton, please leave."
Faith's face turned pale with anger. She said coldly, "Don't accuse us without evidence!"
"Whether it's an accusation or not, Mr. Walton knows best!"
The mocking attitude infuriated Faith, and she was stopped by Gianna when she was about to continue arguing.
"Let's go back."
"Gianna, let go of me! I am determined to silence her with a scathing rebuke.!"
However, her strength was no match for Gianna, who pulled her away from the entrance of Orb Design Studio.
Only when they were far away did Gianna let go of Faith.
Faith shouted, "Why did you pull me just now? The people from Orb Design Studio are too ridiculous! They're just jealous that MY FASHION's clothes are selling well, so they deliberately made this scene to attract public attention! It makes me so angry!"
Gianna remained calm, "Can't you see that they were prepared? Since they dared to arrange for people to stop us at the door and even sent a legal letter, there might be more to this. This matter might end up in court."
Faith frowned, her eyes filled with anger.
"Orb Design Studio is simply shameless!"
Gianna patted her on the shoulder and said slowly, "Alright, let's go back now. I'll find a way to get a piece of that outfit."
Faith took a deep breath, "No, I'm still angry. I'm going to wash my face!"
After Faith left, Gianna stood by the railing in the corridor and sent a message to Amelia. Then, she put away her phone and pondered how to deal with the situation.
Whether MY FASHION's designer plagiarized or not, this incident has already had a very negative impact on the company. If it weren't resolved properly, the company's future would be even more difficult.
"Gianna! What are you doing here?"
A sharp voice sounded not far away, interrupting Gianna's thoughts.
She looked up and saw Lauren and Bella walking towards her, with Bella holding several shopping bags.
Lauren's face was full of disgust and dissatisfaction. She walked up to Gianna in a few steps and sneered, "Yesterday, your father asked you to say a few good words about the Redstone Group in front of Felix, but you were too busy. But today, you have time to go shopping?"
Gianna's expression was indifferent, treating the two women as strangers.
"Mrs. Lauren, you haven't fulfilled your duty to raise me, so it seems I have no obligation to help you," Gianna replied.
Lauren's face was cold, and her gaze at Gianna was as if she were looking at trash.
Lauren retorted, "Gianna, how dare you say such things? After you returned to the Redstone family at the age of sixteen, did we not provide you with food and clothing? Don't you have what Belle has? Now you're saying we didn't raise you. Do you have no shame?"
Gianna was well aware of Lauren's dominant personality, and whatever she said would be wrong in her point.
Gianna couldn't be bothered to explain and said indifferently, "I am indifferent to what you say."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Lauren stopped her. "When do you plan to divorce with Felix?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Gianna's eyes. She looked at Bella, who had been silent, and raised eyebrows. "What's the rush? Is someone impatient?"
Bella's face stiffened, and she bit her lip. "Gianna, why are you continuing to entangle Felix? Please give Felix back to me!"
"Am I entangling Felix? Did he tell you that?" Gianna asked.
"Felix didn't say it, but everyone with eyes can see that he doesn't like you," Bella replied.
"I see," Gianna said coldly.
Gianna may have previously thought that Bella was just an ordinary and harmless person on the surface, but now she realized that Bella had unexpected motives, which shocked her most.
"Gianna, what do you mean? I'm warning you: divorce Felix immediately! Otherwise, I won't let you off!"
Gianna looked at Lauren with a sarcastic smile. "Mrs. Lauren, what makes you think you can order me? Have you forgotten that you recently held a press conference, publicly severing ties with me?"
Lauren didn't expect Gianna to bring up this matter to silence her, making her face turned pale with anger.
"You! Since you want to sever ties, then return the money I spent on raising you over the years!"
Gianna originally didn't want to bother with her, but she didn't expect her to be simply impossible.
"Then let Bella return my bone marrow, and I'll immediately return the money that the Redstone family has spent on me over the years!"
As soon as the words fell, both Bella's and Lauren's faces turned extremely ugly.
"It's only natural for Belle to donate bone marrow to you. She's your biological sister!"
Gianna smiled, "Then you're my mother. Isn't it only natural for you to raise me?"
"You!"
Gianna couldn't be bothered to argue with her anymore. She turned around and left.
Lauren stared at her back as if she wanted to bore a hole through her body. "Gianna, you just wait and see!"
Bella quickly supported her, "Mom, don't bother with Gianna. She's just immature."
"She's twenty-three years old and still immature? You're younger than her but much more sensible!"
"Let's not talk about this. Let's go home."
Lauren nodded, her anger still lingering.
"Oh, by the way, your father wants to invite Felix to dinner to thank him for involving the Redstone Group in the project in the east. Go and ask him in person."
