Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 232

Chapter 232

The narrow, dark alley was utterly silent.

Ophelia drove off and headed to the office.

Having been delayed earlier, she arrived to find that most of the staff had already gone home. Only Marilyn and Chloe were still waiting for her.

"Hi, Ophelia," they greeted.

Chloe looked up and set down her phone. "I was just about to call you."

"I got caught up in something on the way," Ophelia explained.

Chloe handed her an invitation. "This is from the Heloria Designers Association. They're holding a networking event this Saturday at the Cloudin Hotel. Do you want to check it out?" Marilyn, unable to contain her excitement, chimed in softly, "I got an invitation too! Ophelia, we can go together."

Ophelia glanced at the invitation in her hands.

Chloe added, "With the company expanding, it's a good opportunity to recruit a couple of designers."

Chloe had plans to spend the weekend with Wyatt, and Kenneth wasn't around either.

"Alright, I'll check it out on Saturday." Ophelia agreed.

"Yay... that's great!" Marilyn beamed, her dimples showing adorably.

But her smile quickly faded.

"Ophelia, recently some of our evening gown designs and patterns have been clashing with Huxley Fashion's clothing line. There's been some negative buzz online," said Marilyn. Marilyn handed her a tablet laptop, and Ophelia briefly scanned the content.

Huxley Fashion was a clothing brand owned by the Huxley family, which had previously offered her shares in the company. Because of Phoebe's involvement, Ophelia had sold her shares at a low price to someone else. Now, with this incident happening, it was hard not to suspect Phoebe's involvement.

Ophelia swiped through comparison images. One was an evening gown with blue-and-white patterns, and the other was a two-piece traditional-style outfit with similar motifs. The designs were so alike they could easily be mistaken for the same brand.

Moreover, La Reverie had always prided itself on unique designs. For something this blatantly similar to appear was bound to attract criticism online.
