Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 217

After returning home, Leo and Isabella sat back, expecting Ben to bring them the money.

However, they waited an entire day, and there was no response from Ben’s side.

Incredulous, Leo opened Twitter.

The top trending topic was still about the plagiarism accusation.

He clicked on the topic and saw that netizens were demanding a statement from Storm Group.

Usually, in such a situation of public outrage, a company would quickly come forward to clarify.

But Storm Group did the opposite, remaining silent despite the trending topic hanging there for two days.

Was this appropriate?

Had Ben not seen the questions from the internet users?

[I can’t believe a big company like Storm Group would stoop to plagiarism! This is so disappointing!]

[True, although the two games differ drastically in production, their settings and male character designs are very similar. Starry Romance is definitely a copy.]

[Are they ignoring it just because the copied game was produced by a smaller company?]

[This is disgusting!]

[Ha, they probably think, “What does it matter if you know we plagiarized? You’re still going to buy our phones, right? Typical big company arrogance.]

[Boycott Storm Group, boycott their new phone.]

In two days, the ever–efficient gossip mongers unearthed even more information.

For instance, the plagiarized game was called Future Romance, produced by a company named Infinite Technologies.

The sole shareholder of this company was none other than Leo.

Who is Leo?

Ben’s half–brother from the same father.

But recently, Old Mr. Landor had publicly announced Leo’s expulsion from the Landor family.

At the time, the gossip enthusiasts had a brief discussion about it.

But without any response from the concerned parties, the discussion faded after a few days.

Now, the topic was reignited.

[I said it before. Leo being expelled from the Landor family was definitely Ben’s doing, trying to suppress him and keep the inheritance for himself!]

[I also think there’s something fishy going on here!]

Some even began to defend Leo’s game.

[Actually, Future Romance isn’t that bad. But it only has a one–star rating in the software library. I think Ben must have deliberately suppressed it.]

[Driven out of the Landor family and now having his work plagiarized, Leo really has it rough.]

People naturally sympathize with the underdog, and at the moment, Leo appeared to be just that.

Plus, with Storm Group’s continued silence, the public felt even more sorry for Leo and started spinning conspiracy

theories

[I just found out that Susan was the lead manager of the Starry Romance. And she’s Ben’s wife! Ben’s refusal to admit fault must be because of his wife!]

[If that’s true, Ben and his wife are tainted for life.]

There were occasional voices of reason urging people to calm down, but such logical arguments were not as

attention–grabbing as conspiracy theories.

Soon, the comments were flooded with various doubts and theories.

Leo, seeing these comments, was naturally pleased.
