Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina)

Chapter 115

Manuel was stunned.

He remembered that day at the seaside bar where Selina had revealed to Manuel the truth-that Selina was Angel.

With the current scandal unfolding, Manuel felt so many different emotions and thought, 'If Selina didn't clarify the situation, it implied she was lying. Yet, if Selina did come clean, she'd expose her true identity as Angel.

What kind of feelings should Manuel have towards Selina in light of this?

Ashley internally rejoiced yet feigned concern as she asked, "Daddy, Mommy, could Selina be in trouble?"

Yet, behind the scenes, Ashley secretly contacted marketing accounts she was familiar with, pushing the news of Selina's alleged plagiarism onto hot searches across various apps, TikTok, Snapchat, sparing no expense to stoke the fires wherever she could. Quinton spoke coldly, "Having climbed up the social ladder and married into the prestigious Brady family, with Trevon backing her up, what trouble could she possibly face? It's just embarrassing. I had a feeling something was off. How could Selina possibly have won the design competition? Turns out it was all copying someone else."

Selina's disgrace was one thing, but now the scandal wasn't just about her. It tarnished the entire the Harvey family's reputation

"With such an incident, the Brady family must be taking action by now,"

Sara also looked utterly disappointed. The comparison images were just too striking. Even if plagiarism couldn't be proven. the stain of the label would be hard to wash off for life.

Sara turned to Manuel, "What do you think about this, Manuel? You must be most familiar with the boundaries of plagiarism in the jewelry design industry."

Manuel shook his head, "Selina didn't plagiarize. You can only say her style imitated Angel, but the design elements are all different. Even if Angel herself pursued it, nothing substantial would come of it." Besides, Angel herself didn't seem bothered by the ordeal, only concerned with obvious copying or total structural plagiarism. Angel was remarkably indifferent, letting things slide without much fuss. After all, with so many people in the world, it's impossible to prevent them from imitating styles-even Manuel started his career by emulating Angel's style.
