Chapter 1798
Lysander fixed his gaze on David and said, "The piece Thalassa brought over yesterday has been ripped off. I need you and your team to uncover the truth ASAP."
By directly addressing the issue of Thalassa's work being copied, Lysander showed his unwavering trust in her.
David promptly stood at attention and respectfully responded, "Understood, Mr. Sinclair!"
After issuing his response, David began delegating tasks to his security detail. "The four of you, stay here to ensure Mr. Sinclair and Ms. Everhart's safety. The rest of you, come with me. We're going to get to the bottom of this."
With that, David and a few of his bodyguards headed straight for the security office.
Wyatt, seeing this unfold, was filled with objections. This was his turf, and David had bypassed his consent to head straight for the security office. Wyatt wanted to intervene but was intimidated by the commanding presence of David's bodyguards, deciding against any rash actions.
He followed David a few steps before turning back to Lysander. Noticing the imposing figures of the bodyguards standing beside him, Wyatt hesitated to approach. His previously arrogant demeanor had vanished, replaced with a fawning smile as he said to Lysander, "Mr. Sinclair, this seems a bit much. I already told you, our organization will thoroughly investigate this matter and provide a fair resolution to the designers..."
Thalassa, standing by Lysander's side, had witnessed Wyatt's cowardly flip-flopping. "Wyatt, that's not what you said earlier. You blamed me for causing a scene, claiming your organization suffered losses because of me!"
He had outright accused her of plagiarizing someone else's work!
But now, seeing David arrive with bodyguards, Wyatt quickly changed his tune, promising justice.
“This...” Wyatt was at a loss for words. He had assumed Lysander, now seemingly alone and without even a bodyguard in sight, was completely vulnerable.
He thought Lysander, no longer the Sinclair Group's president or the presumed son-in-law of the Whitman Group, was devoid of any significant influence.
Wyatt had mistaken Lysander for an easy target, someone he could freely disrespect.
The previous respectful treatment Lysander received, due to his engagement to Rosalind and his prospective role in the Whitman Group, was based on his perceived status.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
But now, after Thalassa's dramatic intervention and Lysander publicly breaking off his engagement with Rosalind a scandal that had
el
spread city-wide - Wyatt had assumed Lysander was just an
ordinary man, perhaps even seen as
Vulnerable due to his physical
condition.
Yet, Lysander's security team remained formidable, commanding respect and caution.
Now, Wyatt couldn't even muster a rebuttal to Thalassa, his frustration evident as he turned to Zoey with a scowl. "What were you thinking?
After years in design, to haveet
work at such a crucial competition be identical to a newcomer's? Now we're in this mess, and it's the company that has to clean up after you!"
Zoey had been standing aside, awaiting Wyatt's investigation. Suddenly confronted with his accusations, she felt aggrieved, her head bowed and her expression troubled, she quietly said to Wyatt, "I don't know how this happened..."
"Zoey, there's definitely something fishy going on. Let's just wait for the final investigation results," Thalassa reassured her.
Thalassa was grateful to Zoey for introducing her to the jewelry competition.
However, in light of today's events, she remained calm and confident, knowing the design in question was her genuine creation, with several ideas contributed by Lysander himself.
