Chapter 180 "Master Hughes, haven't you heard anything about it?" Zachary Price sounded genuinely taken aback. After a moment, he went on, "It has to do with that fiasco during the recent fashion show. A cleaning woman working at your Hughes Corporation-I think her name is Willow Nason-stole some designs and sold them off to Zeigler Corporation.

"I've been given the impression that she's a sly vixen, somehow seducing your grandson until he was tightly wrapped around her little finger. In order to help cover up her crime, Jasper himself set up Edith to be framed as the culprit, by ordering her to go get rid of some security footage. As she was carrying out his instructions, reporters who'd been lying in wait managed to take incriminating photos of her, which were then used against her, supposedly as proof of her guilt!"

Before making this call, Zachary had already visited his daughter, and gotten the full story from her. Now, Hughes Corporation had completed their take-over of Zeigler Corporation, which meant that those fashion designs, whoever had produced them in the first place, were now Hughes Corporation's legitimate property.

There was no longer any dispute over them, nor any further reason to fuss over whether or not they might have been stolen by anyone before.

Since Hughes Corporation had dropped any legal charges over the matter, it could easily be swept under the rug, and forgotten completely.

As for the matter of who had been behind the theft: Jasper had only caught Edith deleting security
