Chapter 224:
The drowning incident at Lover Lake happened on the same day as the shoot for the advertisement.
After Cathy called the cops, they interviewed some people, including Margo. Margo was wearing the Ice and Fire jewelry, so it was shown in the police recording.
Once the video finished playing, Annabel turned to the reporter and flashed her a sarcastic smile. “What do you have to say now? You aren’t going to say that the cops are favoring Benton Group, are you p>
The reporter was rendered speechless.
“There’s nothing left to be said about this matter. I’ll leave it to everyone to make their own judgment. Those who have eyes and brains will know what is right,” Annabel said, smiling faintly.
Another reporter sprang up and asked, “Now that it has been proven that Ice and Fire was done before the Let Yourself Go series, is that to say that Love Jewelry stole your company’s design? What are you going to do about that p>
“It’s not a given, but we can’t rule out the possibility. Benton Group will investigate before taking any action,” Annabel responded.
“My design was published in a fashion magazine two months ago!” an angry female voice came from the door of the room.
The sudden voice made all heads turn to the door of the room.
A woman dressed in a well-ironed suit and heels walked in. Her curly blonde hair bounced as she moved.
Annabel squinted at her.
This woman must be Marilyn Diaz, the new chief designer hired by Love Jewelry—the so-called designer of the Let Yourself Go series.

Marilyn walked up to the stage in an imposing manner. She snatched a microphone from a reporter and shouted, “It’s ridiculous that Annabel Hewitt here accused Love Jewelry of plagiarism. We have never stolen or copied anyone’s work, not even that of Benton Group p>
Her outburst caused an uproar in the room. The reporters began to discuss excitedly.
Press conferences were usually boring, so it was interesting to witness this drama for a change.
A satisfied smile tugged at the corners of Marilyn’s lips as she watched the rowdy audience. To add fuel to the fire, she uttered in a much louder voice, “Miss Hewitt, you just said that the Ice and Fire series was done a month ago and even got two men to testify to that, didn’t you p>
“Yes, I did,” Annabel replied, folding her arms, keen to see what this woman was up to.
With a smug smile, Marilyn said, “In that case, I’m certain that you stole my design for Let Yourself Go p>
The troublesome young reporter asked Marilyn, “Do you have evidence to back your claim p>
Marilyn sneered, “I actually finished the design for Let Yourself Go two months ago. Since Benton Group came up with Ice and Fire a month ago, isn’t it obvious who the plagiarist is p>
