The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 41 Distort the truth

So, the indictment didn't go straight to her but to Abigail. Abigail was her agent, but she never used her real name in public. Emily quickly met up with her.

Emily blurted out, "What the hell is going on? Why is Moonlit Treasures suing me? What did I do? How can they even sue me? On what grounds?"

Abigail tried to calm her down. "Emily, chill. Let's open it and see what's up."

Abigail was just as clueless, so she opened the indictment. It was an infringement case.

The indictment said Ella was suspected of ripping off Moonlit Treasures' jewelry designs. There was also a handwritten note from the lawyer.

It read: [Since Ella won't cooperate with Moonlit Treasures, we suspect she's involved in some shady stuff. The designs submitted to Moonlit Treasures seem to plagiarize the works of our designer, Sophia. If Ella doesn't resolve this, she'll face legal consequences.]

Emily saw the note and knew it was Michael's doing. The tone was unmistakably his.

Furious, Emily tore up the letter. "That bastard is suing me and accusing me of copying Sophia. What right does he have?"

Abigail looked serious. "Emily, if you don't show your face and let Michael know you exist, he'll really push this. The public will get more curious. This time it's just a lawyer's letter and an indictment. If Michael gets desperate, he could do anything."

Emily was so mad her chest hurt. She didn't expect things to go this way and now she was being accused of plagiarism.

She thought, 'How is this any different from what happened in college? Why am I back to square one?' She felt powerless and slumped over the table.
