Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 43

Chapter 43

As soon as Ophelia realized it was Kenneth's video call she had hung up on, she immediately sensed that trouble was Irwing.

Marilyn rarely saw any other expression on Ophelia's face. Seeing her so visibly anxious piqued Marilyn's curiosity, though

After quickly sending the address, Ophelia gave Marilyn an awkward smile, and left. As soon as Ophelia turned around, she immediately called back.

However, it barely rang once before it was hung up, without any hesitation, as if he were throwing a tantrum.

Ophelia's heart sank with dread as she wondered, 'Is he mad at me? But I didn't mean to hang up on him!!

She puffed up her checks and quickly sent a text to explain things to Kenneth, but there was still no reply.

Ophelia felt her stomach tighten as she remembered that she had promised Kenneth that no matter what she was doing, the would have to answer his calls or video calls. Otherwise, she'd have to deal with the consequences. She tried calling again, but this time, the phone rang for a long while with no answer. "Fine: she thought. I just wait until

he cools off then"

Even though Ophelia hadn't pursued the plagiarism issue, someone in the audience that day had secretly recorded the whole incident and posted it online. When the video spread, actizens were outraged, flooding the comments section.

One netizen commented: [Plagiarism with such arrogance? They're acting like they have every right to plagiarize!]

Another wrote: [That's not even the worst part-the shamelessness of trying to blame the victim!

Yet, another commented: [I used to really like Fashion Ladies, but now I wonder how those designs came about in the first place!]

And another posted: [Lewis Group behind Fashion Ladies is just as bad as their designer. Instead of apologizing after being exposed, they tried to bribe people! Classic underhanded tactics!

With that, the trending hashtags instantly multiplied, including Boycott Fashion Ladies, Fashion Ladies Designer Apology, "La Reverie's Founder", "Sharon Looks Stunning". "Ona Snowy Day' Premiere Sold Out", and "Emily's Side Chick Look Is a Disaster". In just one afternoon, Lewis Group's stock prices plummeted even before the market closed.

As the online backlash continued to escalate, Miles had no choice but to make Brock apologize. Without an apology, not only would Fashion Ladies be completely boycotted, but Brock himself would be blacklisted from the entire design industry. "Damn it!" Brock slammed his fist onto the desk, his hair disheveled, no longer looking like his usual refined self.

He thought bitterly, 'I already gave the sketchbook back to Ophelia, and now I have to apologize too? This is a complete loss on all fronts!'

"Ah!" Brock flew into a rage, sweeping everything off the table and onto the floor, tearing the clothes off the plastic mannequin like a madman. But no matter how much he vented, he still had to apologize in the end.

As soon as the apology video was posted, he was immediately dragged through the mud on social media, and countless people began exposing his true character.

When the show's producers saw the hacklash, they quickly came forward to explain, shifting most of the blame onto Brock. They also apologized to Ophelia and promised to get to the bottom of things and give her a proper explanation.

Inside a private room at a fine dining restaurant, Sharon held her phone and angrily said, "Imph! Easy for them to say! Those old foxes were all over Mr, Decker, kissing up to him just the other day. I can't stand these people in the entertainment industry who only praise the powerful and kick the weak. And look at them now-they're the ones apologizing."

Ophelia smiled nonchalantly, not interested in the situation at all, her eyes fixed on her WhatsApp messages. She wondered, "All I did was hang up on him, but is that really a reason for him to still be mad and not respond?

She turned off her screen, took a deep breath, and shifted her gaze to Sharon. "Let's get back to discussing our collaboration, shall we?"
