Three Treasures: Spoiled Wife Goes Wild-Chapter 1686: Should Not Be Constrained by Personal Feelings
After Charlotte Thompson publicly released the set of design drafts in her possession, most people online believed she was the true victim.
Coupled with the previous disturbance caused by the middle-aged woman, the truth seemed to be glaringly apparent.
"Someone is deliberately going after Justin Battleson and Charlotte Thompson!"
"It’s just business competition, isn’t this normal? Charlotte’s new brand achieved such good results upon launch, it’s natural that many would be envious."
"I can’t believe there are people so demented that they’d sacrifice their own daughter to target others; they’re heartless. Charlotte is really unlucky, blacklisted out of nowhere!"
"Wait! Hold on! The account that previously accused Charlotte of plagiarism has resurfaced."
Just when everyone thought the matter would soon be resolved, no one expected that the account which had mysteriously vanished after accusing Charlotte emerged once again.
And he did the same thing as Charlotte by posting a set of design drafts, specifically the unreleased accessories Charlotte mentioned.
However, one of the ring designs was different from the one Charlotte had made public.
This was the only difference between the two sets of design drawings.
After this move, the originally curious bystanders online were now confused, unsure whom to believe.
Soon after, an authoritative figure in the fashion industry stepped forward and directly pointed out that Charlotte was indeed the one who plagiarized.
The discussion about Charlotte had been ongoing for quite some time online, with most netizens merely watching, and industry insiders not daring to take a stand.
At this moment, anyone’s voice could critically impact the outcome of the situation.
"@Williams Oliver: The most important aspect of a collection is the harmony of its elements, but the last ring by designer Charlotte Thompson is clearly a makeshift design, with poorly matching elements. The result seems evident. I can’t understand how plagiarists can be so rampant nowadays, it really breaks my heart."
If an ordinary person had said such a thing, criticism might follow.
But Williams Oliver is different; he’s a well-known figure in Druarus’s fashion industry.
One could say his words determined the truth of the matter.
Those who had been supporting Charlotte quickly turned against her.
As the saying goes, a falling tree attracts the push of everyone. Many even took the opportunity to step on Charlotte, just to gain some attention.
More so, numerous so-called "fashion insiders" banded together to boycott Charlotte and her brand.
The impact this time not only caused the subsidiary’s stock prices to fall but also directly affected the entire Riley Group.
The online debate was endless.
The board of Riley Group was equally unsettled, having convened multiple meetings in just a few days.
This time, the shareholders’ opinions were unusually unified; they all demanded that Charlotte surrender her shares in the company and step down from the board.
"This situation is too damaging to our company, even if Charlotte apologizes and exits the company, the losses are irreversible."
Mr. Carter gazed sharply at Justin Battleson, who was seated in the chair, his expression calm but his words carried an undertone of coercion.
"Mr. Battleson, I know you and Charlotte have a close relationship, but the company’s interests should be prioritized now, and personal emotions should not interfere."
