Chapter 21:Conflict arose!
Silvia didn’t dodge the cameras below, but faced the dazzling flashes, her eyes as calm as water.
Faced with such a sharp question, Silvia smiled laintly, “I never said that.”
“Wow…” There was an outcry,
There was a llurry of shots, while more people jumped up to ask questions.
Ladarius’ face changed and he turned his head to look at Silvia. She’s not really going to play any tricks, is she? Pulling the microphone to his side, Ladarius preemptively attacked.
“Silvia is a member of our company and has assisted Miss Vivienne for many years. Therefore it is obvious that you cannot claim that she is involved in theft in any way.
Silvia didn’t want to categorize it as stealing or plagiarism:All she can say was that there were too many templations in our society and industry. The temptations were too numerous. We are prepared to give Silvia a place and are hopeful that V.L will continue to provide you with new and improved works in the future.”
It must be said that Ladarius had some experience in spinning a story and dealing with the media over the years.
A speech was diplomatic, neither condescending nor sincere in words, just like a good company with a conscience, which still defends and understands the employees who had betrayed their company.
The journalists were touched and al the same time cast a contemptuous glance at Silvia.
The state of affairs now was very clear, it was clear that Silvia was not content to be an assistant.
Then she stole the company’s results to resell to other companies, wanting to detect, but did not expect to fall over.
They were already starting to believe this story. If V.L. was still willing to keep her, it must liave been a misunderstanding.
But there were a few people who caught the loophole and came forward to ask questions. “But before, Silvia said she was not your company’s employee and did not sign a contract.”
This question was probably considered by Ladarius before, and without panicking, he said with a smile. “Yes, this I admit is an oversight of the company.”
“We didn’t purposefully refuse to sign, of course, but as you may not know, Silvia and I were classmates in college and are close friends.
At first, our plan wasn’t properly thought out, and I also transferred her income in full directly.
I acknowledge that I am personally at fault for this, and we are prepared to extend a very generous contract.
I am confident that after this misunderstanding. V.L. will move on to better things.”
Ladarius secretly sighed with rellel, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Luckily he reacted quickly, or else something might have gone wrong.
Krore he had tune to wipe his sweat, another reporter stood up and asked, “Miss Silvia, should you make a public apology for its incident?Also, docs Carmelo know the real story of this inciderit? if they are also unaware of it,what are you yoing to say to Carmelo? is this a fraud, and will Carmelo sue you?”
The questions were more astute than the others, and the gaze on Silvia was particularly sharp.
Ladarius pinched a sweat, “This….”
Before he could continue, the microphone had been taken away directly by Silvia. Holding it in her hand, she slowly
stood up.
“You asked a very good question. I will answer your first question first. About the apology thing. I don’t think it’s necessary and won’t do it because I don’t believe there is any reason for it.”
Her voice was clear, every word was clear, and all the people present heard it in an uproar.
After all, everyone agreed with what Ladarius said before, They had even decided that this was the way things were, so when they suddenly heard her say that she wouldn’t apologize and that she didn’t need to,They all felt that she was refusing to admit her mistake, and they wouldn’t stand for it.
“Shame on you!”
“I can’t believe her words!”
“That’s right!”
Someone whispered, the voice was not loud, but Silvia could hear it.
She didn’t get angry, her cheeks didn’t even redden a bit, her hand held the microphone tightly, and her eyes swept around steadily, “I just want to say two things about this incident.
One, ‘First Love’ is my work, I spent three months with my assistant to modulate it.
Two, apart from ‘First Love’, most of V.L’s perfumes, are also my creations. I’ve finished my words.”
The reporters’ gossipy hearts were fully mobilized, originally listening to Ladarius’ words, and seeing Silvia just smiling warmly, they thought that the matter was settled, and could not make any big waves, but unexpectedly, there was such a reversal.
In front of so many people, Silvia was slapping Ladarius’ lace!
All the camera focus was on Ladarius’s rapidly hardening face, while Silvia was calm, too big a contrasi.
“Silvia, you mean that instead of you plagiarizing Miss Vivienne’s work, she copied yours?” Someone immediately
asked
silvia laughed, “I have to correct your wording. The word plagiarism means copying, and it is also an act of excessive imitation.
Although plagiarisin is bad, at least there is a process of self-reprocessing. Vivienne didn’t add anything to my work, rather simply changing the name to her own.”
“That’s stealing!” The reporter said.
Silvia just laughed and didn’t respond.
“Silvia, wluat do you mean by this?”
Turning his head, Ladarlus raised his arm to hall cover his face and said to Silvia with his lips.
His lace twisted, eritting his teeth, hating the feeling of not being able to bite her twice, but in front of so many people, he couldn’t have a fit, or even make a sound.
However, silvia didn’t even look at him, calmly looking at the many media representatives in front of her, as if she was a general pointing at the sands.
“Silvia, as you sald, you did not sign an employment contract at V.L.
That was to say, it was not even certain whether you are an employee of V.L.
What makes you say that all the works of V.L. come from your hands? Do you have any evidence?”
Reporters were not idle and always found the direct core issue.
They actually don’t occupy either side. More than anything else, they want to dig out fierce information and write heavyweight news.
Faced with the challenge, Silvia was just about to open her mouth to answer,when Vivienne on the side couldn’t help but step in to speak first. “Silvia, what do you mean by what you just said? Are you saying that I stole your idea, your
work?
“Miss Vivienne, shouldn’t we know the most about what’s going on between us?”
She asked back without panic, a light smile on her face.
From the time she entered to the time she sat down to the time she answered the reporter’s question with ease, Silvia was always unruffled, her emotions didn’t seem to fluctuate, her voice was clear and soft, yet she carried a power that people couldn’t ignore.
This was such a casual rhetorical question, but seemed to be mixed with a strong smell of gunpowder. The atmosphere in the meeting room was mobilized.
Vivienne’s face became ugly, her pretty fingers clenched into fists, and although she was smiling, the smile was obviously forced.
She tried to maintain the proper decency and generosity, and asked through clenched teeth, “What do you mean?! don’t quite understand, can you make it clear?”
Everyone was holding down their excitement, clutching their cameras in their hands and holding their recorders tightly for fear of missing any detail.
At this moment, almost all the media are thinking the same sentence: Fight! Fight! Fight!
Silvia looked at her with a faint smile at the corner of her lips, “Are you sure you want me to make it clear here?”
Silvia was so calm, calm that Vivienne began to panic, but now the question had been set up like this, there was no backing down.
Vivienne gritted her teeth and said stiffly, “Don’t be too quick to judge. In this industry, I dare not say I have much talent, but I am definitely the hardworking one.
In the past few years in the company, we can see how much I have donc how inuch – yet you talk nonsense with your traitor’s mouth.”
“Vivienne …” said Ladarius as he gently pressed her small arm, then twisted his head to look at Silvia again, cleared his throal and spoke, “I’m very sorry, this meeting today… I’m sorry, but I wanted to give an explanation to the organizing committee of the Carmelo Race, as well as to our friends and consumers who care about us,but I didn’t think it through enough, and I didn’t give Miss Silvia enough time to prepare herself.”
“Want evidence?”Interrupting his speech, the two simple words iminediately drew all the attention to Silvia.
