Chapter 177
He was speechless.
“I’m pretty busy, so I don’t have the time to visit Madam Remus for now. I’ll follow you
next time,” Silvia slowly said.
The more Neil listened to her, the more confused he felt. “When did I say anything about
visiting Grandma?”
“If this isn’t about her, why did you send me the message?”
He gritted his teeth and coldly asked, “Didn’t Ada tell you?”
“Tell me what?”
Silvia suddenly realized that he was probably talking about Idris’s invitation for dinner.
“Mr. Remus, the Pond Family invited you for dinner. I don’t need to be there. It will only
make dinner unpleasant.”
Neither Neil nor the Pond Family were fond of her. She would only humiliate herself if went
along.
“Why? Aren’t they your family?”
Silvia was at a loss for words.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe suspected that Neil was doing this to pick on her.
“Mr. Remus, I’m really busy tomorrow. I don’t have the time
Before she could finish her sentence, he interrupted her. “You’ll have time to eat no matter
how busy you are. I’ll pick you up after work tomorrow night. That’s final.”
He hung up without waiting for a response.
Silvia hesitated for a while and sent him a message to explain that she would truly be
unavailable tomorrow.
However, she had no idea if he saw it because he never replied.
As soon as she got to work the next day, she called Dulcie to her office. Then, she shared
the information that she had obtained.
After Dulcie read it, her expression darkened.
She had personally recruited Reva. She initially thought that Reva would be dependable
and serious. Unexpectedly, Reva was the niece of Eligance’s brand director.
She would have ignored this fact if there had not been a plagiarism case. With this link,
she had to suspect that this was a conspiracy that had been planned since Reva came for
the interview.
“We still don’t have enough evidence to prove that Reva leaked the design draft. But if I’m
right, Eligance might already have an “original draft” that’s dated way earlier than the
version Reva uploaded.”
Dulcie was not pleased. “I can’t understand why she would set us up like that. Plagiarism
is an
unbearable insult to a designer!”
Silvia smiled and said, “You may think of it as an insult, but others might not think the
same way.”
Perhaps, Reva’s reward for helping out would be enough for her to live comfortably for the
rest of her life.
“I’ll figure this out. If Reva is truly involved, I won’t spare her!”
“I’m collecting the evidence. Don’t mention anything for now.”
“Okay.”
After Dulcie left, Silvia opened her WhatsApp and sent a message to someone with a black
profile picture.
[I need you to look into someone.]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSilvia sent Reva’s information over, and the recipient replied with an “Okay” emoji. Then,
she put down her phone and started working.
This plagiarizing incident might not be a bad thing for MY Corporation. She could use it to
boost the company instead.
Besides, there was something else that she did not tell Dulcie.
Eligance was a distributor, and they did not have many designers under them. Even if
they really pinned the plagiarism on MY Corporation, they would not get much out of it.
Therefore, it was likely that they were not the true masterminds.
However, she had a suspect in mind.
It was almost time to clock off when Joe came to her office.
“Miss Pond, there has been a lot of fuss about plagiarism. There are plenty of downstairs,
so you’d better leave from the basement later.

When Silvia heard this, she walked to the window. Sure enough, she saw many people
surrounding the bottom of MY Corporation.
Her eyes shone with dissatisfaction, and she said, “Call the police.”
