Chapter 1488: There’s Business For You

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The negotiation ended on an unhappy note. No one reached an agreement. Mr. Will was unwilling for the B Family to take responsibility for this issue and reveal Li Chen’s incident to the public. He insisted on using other things to subst.i.tute this, but Shen Qianshu refused.

When Will got into the car, his expression was extremely unpleasant. Bailey said, “If everything fails, just push the blame onto me and Megan. This will minimize the harm done to our brand. It’s the best solution.”

Megan looked towards the window. She had already antic.i.p.ated that her future would be pitch-black. For a long period of time, she would be on the brink of being kicked out of the industry. She felt extremely indignant.

She had worked so hard for so long, climbing upwards tirelessly. It was not easy to finally find a stable place in the B Family, yet she would lose everything just because of a case of plagiarism. Indeed, she was at fault, but not to the extent where everything was irreparable.

Was Shen Qianshu trying to push her to the edge of the cliff? Did she want to sacrifice her to clear Li Chen’s name?

Plagiarism was a huge taboo in the industry. However, there were also unspoken rules in the industry. When some big designers lack inspiration, they would use some designs of lesser-known designers. This was also considered plagiarism. It was just a question of whether it was owned independently or jointly.

In the B Family, when a season’s product was jointly created by a few people, the name at the front would be that of a big designer. However, even though that big designer might not even have partic.i.p.ated in the design, their name would be at the front. Such a practice was something silently agreed on in the industry.

Hence, Megan had never felt that she had made a terrible mistake. Had she really committed a sin so serious that everyone was exiling her?

She recalled all the honors gained this year. She was the star designer who was promoted aggressively by the B Family. She had a dazzling future, and everyone was antic.i.p.ating the day that she would break through. However, after the lawsuit, she would disappear like a shooting star, and no one would remember her anymore. She was indignant.

Extremely indignant.

If only… Shen Qianshu could not attend the court session. That would be great.

A cold yet agitated glint flashed across her eyes. If only Shen Qianshu could not attend the court session, then it would be canceled. Perhaps, if Shen Qianshu died…

Her eyes were glinting with greed and malice.

Like how birds died for food, people died for money.

Everyone was selfish. She wanted to use her own method to protect her own reputation. If the court session was delayed and later given up on, then fewer people would know of this lawsuit as it would not be a public trial.

As long as there were no trial results, they could manipulate public discourse. Everything could be changed.

That’s right. Everything could be changed.

As long as they could not attend the court session.

As she thought of such a possibility, she was so excited that her entire body trembled.

“Megan, Megan. What are you thinking about? Did you hear what Boss was saying?”

Megan said, “I heard him.”

The scapegoat… The B family was deciding to sacrifice her. Even if they compensated her with a sum of money, what use did it have? The money could not solve all her worries. What she wanted was for things to be done once and for all. She wanted to solve her present problem.

It was Lu Mengxi who reminded her.

If the lawsuit could not be filed, then this issue would be settled.

Lu Mengxi also gave her a choice between taking action and not doing anything. The choice was all in her hands. Megan was extremely anxious. As she held her phone, she hesitated. Did she really want to take action?

She was able to pay the price for someone to a.s.sa.s.sinate Shen Qianshu.

Even if she had to spend all her money, it was worth it as long as the court session did not proceed.

Megan dialed a number with a cold gaze. “I have a business for you. You will definitely be interested in it.”
