Chapter 397
something else I know. I'm not sure if I should tell you..." Vicki asked in confusion, "What is-it? Does it have something to do with me?" Katie said somberly, "Raegan an Jarrod's first love are best friends." Vicki's eyes widened in shock. "What? Do you mean Jamie?" Jarrod's previous entanglement with Jamie was public knowledge. Oblivious to Jarrod's relationship with Nicole back in their school days, Vicki assumed Jamie was Jarrod's first love.
Shaking her head, Katie revealed, "No, not Jamie. Jarrod's first love is the daughter of the Lawrence family. They were classmates and childhood sweethearts." "The Lawrence family?" Vicki was even more surprised. "Do you mean the
Lawrence family who fell into ruin after the director's suicide?" Katie nodded. "Yes. Miss Lawrence has returned to Ardlens. She seems to still be in contact with Jarrod." Then, she warned worriedly, "Vicki, you have tc be careful. Those two women are cunning. Their tactics are quite formidable." Vicki suddenly grasped what Jarrod had been up to and why he kept avoiding her. She stomped her feet angrily and said viciously, "Those despicable women! I'll find someone to teach them a lesson." When Katie saw the anger in Vicki's eyes, the corners of her lips raised slightly. She continued to advise Vicki, "Vicki, don't act rashly. If Jarrod finds out it was me who told you all these, it would make things difficult for me with Mitchel."
"Don't worry. I won't say anything. I'm not that stupid," Vicki assured Katie straightforwardly.
Vicki looked at the stage and said bitterly, "We can't let those women get away with this. How dare they seduce our men!" The press conference still went on.
The woman, having wrongly accused Raegan under Katie's instruction, still wanted to stir up trouble.
The journalists kept asking questions unrelated to the baseless accusation of plagiarism. The woman was dissatisfied they had deviated from that topic and shouted several times for their attention. However, they all just ignored her as if she didn't exist.
Frustrated, the woman suddenly jumped onto the stage and yelled, "Even if Casey is your mother, how can
you put your name on her works and claim them as your own? What is the difference between what you are doing and plagiarism?" As soon as the woman said this, there was pin-drop silence in the room Everyone stared at her as if she was a fool. They collectively believed the woman's claim of being an employee of Dream Studio was nothing but a lie.
For someone in the design industry, not knowing Casey's story was unthinkable.
Unfazed, Raegan turned to the security guards and ordered softly, "Security, please escort this lady out." The woman protested madly and shouted, "Why are you kicking me out? Because I exposed you? You are a plagiarist! How dare you hold a press conference! You are a shameless bitch!"Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Miss..." Raegan was about to say something when one journalist, who could no longer hold back, suddenly spoke up. "Do you really work in the design industry? If so, how could you not know that Casey once mentioned in an interview that some of he: designs were completed with her six- year-old daughter?" Casey received a purely foreign education, explaining the style of her initial designs. Later, she started to create a national-style series, influenced by her daughter's drawings.
She perfected her daughter's drawing of national animals and presented them on clothes.
Impressed by the national-style designs she delivered, Casey dedicated herself to promoting it globally.
And now, Raegan seemed to be doing the same thing as her mother. It was
really commendable.
The woman meant to stir up trouble was rendered speechless. She knew nothing about Casey. Her only purpose in coming here was to make things difficult for Raegan.
Rolling her eyes, the woman changed her tactic and scoffed. "So this woman said she was Casey's daughter, and you believed her right away? Who knows if her work is outsourced? If she is really that capable, why doesn't she design in front of us now?"
Chapter 397 Teach Them A Lesson (Part Two) Katie's face turned pale, making her look pitiful. "The woman on the stage is actually Mitchel's ex-wife." "What? Mitchel's ex-wife?" Vicki exclaimed in shock. "How can that be? Mitchel's ex-wife died from drowning, right?" But only a few people knew this.
Vicki knew because Mitchel suddenly disappeared from the public eye at the peak of his career a couple of years ago. She was puzzled then.
On one occasion when Vicki accompanied her mother to the church, she bumped into Mitchel. At that time, Mitchel looked so disheveled and gaunt that she hardly recognized
him.
Later, Vicki found out Mitchel was depressed because of his ex-wife's death, which had moved her at that time.
Knowing Katie was the one who had stayed by Mitchel's side and helped him get through his grief, Vicki admired Katie's steadfastness. Despite Mitchel's indifference, Katie never left him.
Judging from Katie's expression, Vicki speculated, "Did his ex-wife return to go back with him?" Katie nodded aggrievedly. "She has approached Mitchel several times..." "That bitch! How dare she do that!" Vicki cursed angrily. She related because Jarrod, the man she loved, also had an unforgettable first love. That was why she always despised ex
girlfriends and ex-wives. Since Raegan was Mitchel's ex-wife, she instantly hated Raegan.
Vicki looked at Katie and said resentfully, "You were with Mitchel at his worst days. When he was in the hardest times of his life, you never left him. Now, his ex-wife comes back to take him back? What does she mean? Does she think she can get him back because of her good looks?" Katie shook her head helplessly. "I don't know what will happen next..." Vicki felt annoyed by all the ex- girlfriends and ex-wives. She held Katie's hand and advised, "Mitchel is young, handsome, and successful.
Maybe that's why his ex-wife is unwilling to let him go. So, you must keep an eye on him and secure your position." Katie nodded slightly. "Yes. But there's
