Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44 Fire

Soon, under Elspeth’s machinations, the new product was launched and released for sale.

As expected by Callum, on the first day of the new product release, some people noticed the similarities between the two products. They even discovered that Winthrop Group’s latest product was a replica of Alphascape Group’s product! As a result, they began to wonder if Winthrop Group planned to destroy their own reputation.

The news became viral on the Internet. Everyone was discussing why this farce happened and how to deal with it.

‘I think Winthrop Group has tanked this time. Can’t they come up with some new ideas? How can they steal Alphascape’s design?’

‘Nonsense! Elspeth designed these pieces of jewelry. Do you think she will plagiarize her own work?’

‘Hey, don’t be so sure about that. There are all kinds of people in the world, and almost everyone has plagiarized something in their lives. So, you don’t have to defend her like a moronic fan.’

‘Hear hear! I’m taking Alphascape’s side this time.’

Most of the views on the Internet were in favor of Alphascape Group. Except for some people who stuck to their aspirations and fanatical worship of Elspeth, the rest accused her of plagiarizing other people’s works.

However, Elspeth could not be bothered at all. She even conversed happily with the members of the Winthrop Family when she was at home that weekend.

Max was rather anxious when he saw the news. “Aren’t you worried at all? This is a big deal. Your reputation may be tarnished completely.”

Elspeth took a sip of water and asked casually, “Do you think I will do something like plagiarize other people’s work?”

“Of course not!” He refuted, “You won’t do such a thing. I trust you.”

“So, don’t worry about it.”

Edmund mocked, “What if you can’t turn the tide, though? What happens then will be a different story.”

“Do you have any good ideas for me? Do share.” Elspeth glanced at him emotionlessly.

“It’s none of my business.” He chuckled. “I can’t help you.”

Arthur simply smiled without saying anything.

Blake knew how devastating the consequences of this kind of cyberbullying were due to his years of experience in the entertainment industry, so he was genuinely worried about her situation. “This is not easy to settle, and it becomes a bigger deal since the company is involved. Are you sure you can handle it?”

Elspeth gave him a reassuring look in response, yet Callum felt inexplicably uneasy as he watched the two interact. “She’s not as stupid as you think,” Callum blurted.

She grinned from ear to ear when she heard this. Indeed, Callum, who had spent the most time with her, knew her best.

“We’re going back to the office this afternoon.” Callum asked seriously, “Are you ready?”

Elspeth nodded and donned a triumphant smile. “Yup. Later, I’ll let Alphascape know the downfall of stealing my work.”

The members of the Winthrop Family were taken aback, not knowing what tricks they had up their sleeves.

Finally, at 3.00PM, they arrived at the new product launch as promised. This incident caused a great sensation on the Internet. Hence, many reporters at the press conference aimed their cameras at Elspeth, hoping they could capture something sensational and become the first to publish the breaking news.
