The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1609

“I always thought you were sharp, Chloe. Designing isn’t something you can take advantage of just because you’re

tight with someone. Mrs. Harper’s life hangs in the balance, and you single–handedly took her designs to gain

profits. It’s heartless! I hope you return the designs to the Harper family promptly. Considering your care for Damon

over the past days, let’s end this issue here.”

Chloe smirked in silence. End it here? He just publicly announced it in this manner. Everyone knows that the

costumes she’s promoting for the production aren’t clean. Nothing could be worse. And he has the gall to say ‘end

it here? How generous

The press under the stage was thoroughly excited.

“Ms. Summers is… is this true? You really used someone else’s design without permission?”

“Isn’t it obvious? Mrs. Harper is now in a critical condition. How could she agree to let her use her designs?” That

reporter was determined to pin

the blame on Chloe c2

*Ms. Summers, you’re a designer yourself. Shouldn’t you be the most resistant to issues of ownership and

plagiarism? How could you do such a thing?”

“She probably thought that since Damon spoiled her, everything that belonged to Damon’s mother should naturally

be hers”

The smile on Chloe’s face gradually cooled down, and she turned to look at that provocative reporter. “When did

you become my spokesperson?”

The reporter’s face stiffened for a moment, but he shrugged off nonchalantly. A clear I won’t bother arguing with

you since you’re on the brink of

doom attitude

Chloe’s gaze fell on the work badge around the reporter’s neck, “Gossip Whisper?” She spoke lightly, full of

mockery “As a reporter, if you can’t be truly objective, you should at least be efficient in conveying your message to

the public in a rigorous and fair manner. Your value lies in solidifying the public’s morals, and ensuring the credibility

of the news. Your interviewing style is biased and aggressive, even speaking on behalf of the interviewee. Why don’t

you exercise the judge’s rights as well and charge me directly, what do you say?”

Chloe’s gaze was sharp, sweeping through the dense crowd under the stage, and she slightly smiled.

“The saying goes “Greed will be the death of us. If you receive benefits from others, you need to fulfill your

obligations diligently. But don’t overdo it. I don’t care about you using your authority for personal gain, but you

should at least have the bottom line of a journalist.”

The low murmuring in the crowd gradually quieted down, and some people’s expressions began to look off.

Using authority for personal gain, they all had their share in it. Now that it was brought up, they inevitably felt guilty.

Chloe didn’t feel any resistance The industry’s certain means and rules were like this at times, and when necessary,

she wouldn’t reject doing so. But the prerequisite was that no one should use it against her She’s not some saint;

she could play the double standard game too!

Facing the gazes around him, the reporter turned pale. “The embroidery design is indeed Elizabth’s. Are you going

to admit it?”

“When did I say I wouldn’t admit it?”

Chloe clearly interrupted the reporter, causing another round of excitement among the journalists. “So, you’re

admitting to stealing someone else’s design?”

Chloe replied, “The design is indeed hers, but I can’t admit to stealing! I don’t think that as a member of the Harper

family, Robin can accuse me of stealing Elizabeth’s design. Perhaps in his mind, as the eldest son of the Harper

family, it’s outrageous for Damon to take his mother’s belongings.”

After finishing, she turned her gaze to the reporter, “When you see Mr. Robin, please ask him for me if every

decision in the Harper family must go through him? Such a tyrant…”

Chloe paused, suddenly her lips curled into a smile, the humor in her eyes made everyone shudder, then all eyes

were on her lips, listening to her voice slowly rise. “Does he have enough power in his hands now?”

Everyone gasped, this Ms Summers, she dares to say anything. The reporter’s face turned ugly. Her words stripped

him bare.

She just accused him of using his authority for personal gain, and now asked him to pass a message to Mr. Robin for

her, isn’t this blatantly telling everyone that he’s accepted benefits from Mr. Robin?

But Chice didn’t say anything more Some things are better left unsaid Saying too much will inevitably expose more

flaws.

“Today’s press conference ends here, thank you everyone for your support”

The journalists were dumbfounded, it’s over just like that?

Just letting it go?

Without thinking, they knew that the public would definitely be in an uproar over this matter.

Chloe walked off the stage under the guard of her bodyguards, while the journalists were persistent in surrounding

her. They all wanted Chloe to give an explanation, about whether the design will be used again, whether the

production will continue, etc.

But Chloe kept a straight face and didn’t answer in the crowd, she calmly walked up to the provocative reporter

from Gossip Whisper, stopped in front of him, and looked him in the eye Her expression was casual, emotionless,

while the reporter felt a chill down his spine under her gaze “What. what do you want?”

Chloe’s brows twitched, she suddenly stepped closer to him, and her low voice carried a faint smile, slowly rising

from her throat “Don’t be

nervous. You indeed… didn’t make a good impression today, but I owe you a thank you this time.”

After saying this, she straightened up, gave him a glance with a half–smile, and then left under the protection of her

bodyguards.

The reporter had no idea what Chloe was up to, and couldn’t figure it out after thinking about it. In the end, he just

thought she was crazy. Regardless, using a design without the owner’s permission was indeed a reprehensible act.

As soon as the news broke, people online began to boycott Chloe’s productions and clothing brand.

“She’s a designer herself, yet she does such despicable things. When a person dies, does the copyright of the

design become hers? Ridiculous!”

“Can you believe she had the audacity to release the blueprints, and with such a massive marketing campaign?

What on earth gave her the courage?”

“This time she’s really crossed the line. She admitted it’s someone else’s design. And not just anyone, but a design

left behind by someone who is no longer with us. It’s utterly appalling.

It’d been over two weeks since Royce and Elizabeth’s plane crashed, and their chances of survival were slim to

none. Everyone had already accepted the harsh reality they were as good as gone.

This general consensus only fueled the outrage at Chloe’s action. Using the design left behind by someone who was

no longer alive? It was utterly unacceptable.

Chloe’s reputation took a massive hit, which was something Robin had anticipated. However, his current mood

seemed to be less than pleasant.

Chloe’s last words seemed to have struck a nerve.

“Do you have enough power at your disposal?”

Not enough

The old man hadn’t completely handed over the company and the Harper family estate to him. His position was

constantly at risk of being taken over by Damon

His eyes narrowed slightly, a frosty expression settling on his face.
