“Okay, do as you see fit. What about the other company?” asked Cassandra.
Michael answered, “I’ve checked as well. Andrew Watson, their boss, has a terrible. reputation in the industry. In recent years, his company’s profitability has been poor, and many employees have been laid off. Now, it’s operating on a very small scale mediocrely.”
She nodded.
Michael continued, “Shall we confront them directly?”
“It’s pointless at this time,” she said.
Still, even if it was pointless, they had to move forward.
An hour later, the duo carefully compared the color palette and two design drawings related to the plagiarism controversy and published them on the forum. The minority of people who understood the post expressed their support, but most believed. Cassandra’s company was trying to whitewash itself.
In the afternoon, people sneaked over to camp at Cassandra’s workplace. Anyone who entered or exited the office would be deliberately picked on for no reason. By now, the whole matter had blown out of proportion.
As such, Cassandra had to call Andrew in person.
Once the call was connected, she made her purpose and identity known. “Mr. Watson, it’s not easy for any of us to make a living. Don’t you think you’re going overboard?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Do not spout nonsense. I have the right to sue you for false accusation,” Andrew replied unkindly.
Cassandra felt a headache coming. “Do you have any evidence to prove that our company plagiarized yours? Aren’t you the one falsely accusing us when all you have is two designs and nothing else?”
“Girl, I advise you not to be so hostile. If you’re competent, you won’t have to fear being sabotaged, and if you’re indignant, feel free to provide evidence to prove your
innocence. Otherwise, quickly apologize and quit this industry at once, or you shall bear the consequences,” threatened Andrew.
With that, Andrew hung up the phone without giving Cassandra any chance to respond.

Cassandra was incensed, as he was blatantly distorting the truth.
She took a deep breath and suppressed her agitation.
If it were a year ago, she would not hold back at all.
But now, she had no choice but to restrain herself.
Cassandra told Michael, “We might have to suspend our company for a few days. If work is as per normal at this time, I worry things could happen to everyone. We can’t let this matter harm and affect our employees.”
“That’s my plan as well. I’ve asked Yvonne to inform them,” he agreed.
Yvonne Carter was Michael’s secretary.
Cassandra nodded, looking exhausted.
Michael asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
“I’m fine,” she said.
“Cassie, tell me if there’s something. I’ll always be by your side,” he urged.
“Mm, I know,” she replied.
They had just finished talking when Yvonne strode in. “Mr. Collins, Ms. Jackson, someone is making trouble outside.”
The two immediately stood up, but Cassandra almost lost her balance because she got up too fast. Fortunately, Michael swiftly held her steady. “Cassie, are you feeling unwell?”
“I’m fine. Let’s go out and have a look,” she answered.
Outside the office building, someone had sprayed the word “copycat” on the door with red paint.
There was also garbage scattered all over the ground, making the place stinky and filthy.
Cassandra’s company’s office was located in a smart office building, and the people who worked here were primarily young. With it being the Internet age now, all news spread. rapidly, so there was already a crowd here.
Cassandra’s head buzzed at the sight of this. She returned to the office frowningly.

Michael said, “You don’t look so well. Let me send you home first. I’ll take care of things here, too. In the evening, I’ll personally talk to Andrew and see if this can be resolved.”
Cassandra was open to that suggestion. She was indeed unwell, especially with Peter being unconscious now. Her head was dizzy, and she had heart palpitations. She knew she needed to rest for the sake of her fetus.
It was already dinner time when she got back to Dustmeadow Mansion.
Cassandra first sent a text to Gabriela to ask about Peter’s condition. The latter replied. that he hadn’t woken up yet, but his condition was stable.
Gabriela also told Cassandra to stay home and said Frederick would keep watch at night.
Thus, Cassandra didn’t insist. She looked at the time and found that Orlando hadn’t returned yet.
After much contemplation, she ultimately couldn’t help calling him.
If her company matters only affected her and Michael, she wouldn’t be this troubled, but the other employees had been with her for a year, so she had to be responsible for
them.
When the call connected, she went straight to the point before Orlando said anything, as she feared she would chicken out. “Orlando, could you do me a favor? My company has run into some troubles. Could you help me deal with it?”
