The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 368
Most of the time, Summer was the one who communicated with Lindsey about the character designs.Summer and Lindsey had similar artistic tastes. When it came to the character drafts, what would have normally taken a month only took a week to complete.Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, Power Construction's bidding event arrived.Summer arrived at the company early in the morning."What are you doing here?" Lionel asked. He was in charge of the project, and Saul, who wasn't involved, was absent."I'm just coming with you guys to watch the drama," Summer said."Does anyone from Power Construction know you?" Lionel asked."I'm just going to wear a hat and observe. It's no big deal," Summer said."Alright, then. Let's head over!" Lionel called over two other programmers from the company and headed right to the bidding event venue. Power Construction might not be a major corporation, but its platform had decent traffic. Even if it was put together on short notice, plenty

Bard from Power Construction was present at the event as well. He had been watching for a while, but seeing that none of the projects were particularly impressive, he was planning to leave.However, when Eridanus took the stage, the reaction from the panel of judges made him stay. Watching the judges' faces light up in admiration intrigued him.Yet, at that moment, Duco stood up.Lionel had been waiting for that exact moment. It was the inevitable accusation.The room grew noisy as everyone looked over. Duco went right on stage as he pointed at Lionel and said, "Everyone, Eridanus' design is a plagiarized work!"Lionel laughed at that. "I was wondering who it was. So it's Duco! Just the other day, I was just wondering what company offered you 5,000 dollars a month to poach you away."Then, he looked at Anthony and put on a shocked expression. "Aren't you Mr. Lawson? So, Duco is working for your company now?"The audience instantly understood the situation. So, one of Eridanus' e

Lionel was fiercely protective. Even though he hadn't known Summer for long, he found her both incredibly skilled and easy to get along with. He saw her like a sister from another family.He didn't know what happened between Anthony and Summer, but stealing Summer's codes? He wasn't going to let that slide."Mr. Lawson, why aren't you saying anything? Are you unwilling to compare the codes?" Lionel asked.Duco played the part of a clueless teammate perfectly. "How could that be? Mr. Simmons, is this how Eridanus operates? You snatch codes from others and have a few experts tweak them before you claim them as your own?""Mr. Squire, you should be careful with your words. There are a lot of people listening, so you'll be legally responsible for what you say," Lionel warned.Duco was someone who had high ambitions but little real skill. At his previous company, he always felt like he wasn't treated fairly. Then, when he joined Eridanus, he wasn't even allowed inside the core areas.

"The coding originally started earlier, but it was only completed six months ago," Anthony explained stiffly.He let out a sigh of relief after that. He had thought that the timestamp would show it was from six months ago. If that happened, wouldn't that confirm his plagiarism?Thank goodness…"Wait a minute." Someone suddenly raised a hand.Everyone looked over."I think there's a signature on the code!"Some programmers had the habit of signing their work whenever they wrote programs. Of course, their signatures weren't the traditional kind. Most would use symbols and tags that were personally meaningful.Duco snapped, "What signature? Stop talking nonsense! The case is already clear. Eridanus stole Mr. Lawson's code!"Lionel said calmly, "Mr. Squire, there's no need to rush. Many people here might have already guessed, but the founder of the company is X, who has been trending lately. "The popular game After School and both sets of the original codes were created by her. S

"That concludes today's bidding event. Thank you all for attending. The final results will be posted on our official website, so please exit the venue in an orderly fashion," the judge said.Someone from the crowd shouted, "But the plagiarism issue hasn't even been resolved! How can it end just like that?"No one gave an explanation. Security soon began escorting the crowd out. Only the people from Eridanus and Anthony's teams remained."Mr. Simmons, right?" Brad got up and slowly walked to Lionel."Mr. Sullivan Senior, what is the meaning of this?" Lionel responded politely enough.Brad said with a smile, "I think my future grandson-in-law must have been scammed by someone. How about this? Our company will take this project, and both your teams can work on it together. As for the compensation, we're open for discussions."Lionel smiled faintly. "I don't really understand. Why should we partner with someone that stole our work?"Brad wasn't surprised by Lionel's reaction. He pat

"Let's go." Summer and the other staff members stood up and followed Lionel out.Anthony's gaze fell on Summer, and he felt like he had been struck by lightning. "Wait! Don't go!" he shouted and tried to chase after her.But Brad slapped him hard across the face. "You disgraceful bastard!"Anthony was completely stunned.Patrick hurried on stage. "Dad! Don't hit him. Let's talk this through.""You and Janice claim that you're in love, so I tolerated that scandal. I set aside family pride and agreed to your engagement and even set the stage for you to enter the family. And what you do instead is pull such a petty scheme!" Brad scolded furiously.Anthony had never been so humiliated in his life. He clutched his cheek as his body froze."Is fair competition so hard? You even ended up poaching an idiot from another company! You stole someone else's design and told me you wrote it yourself, then you changed the story and said you bought it. Anthony, is there a single word of truth
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 374
Anthony clenched his fists tightly.Eridanus wanted to come after him? He'd show them.…Summer and the others got back to the car. There was a brief silence before the group erupted into cheers and high-fives."Oh, my God! Did you see Duco's face? That was so satisfying! You have no idea how much he annoyed me the week before he resigned! He was yelling at me every day!" Lily, who had come to help with the presentation, beamed."Well, don't get too excited. After all, we didn't win the bid," Lionel said cheerfully. That mature, professional act he put on stage just now was completely gone."Stop pretending. You're obviously the happiest one here," Lily said with a smile.Summer raised her hand and announced, "I enjoyed the show, too. So, I'll treat you all to a seafood feast!""Yes! I haven't had seafood in forever!" Lily nodded.And just like that, Lionel led the group straight to a seafood restaurant. They feasted and drank to their hearts' content and even packed up some f

"I'm warning you. Summer doesn't like you, so you'd better stay away from her." Terrence walked right up to Anthony.He took off the sunglasses perched on his head and lightly tapped Anthony's chest with them. "If that pathetic little company of yours still wants to stay in business, then back off.""Mr. Dincht, feelings aren't something you can control with power and influence." Anthony's voice was trembling.Terrence laughed. "Power? Anthony, you know exactly what kind of trash you are. Do you think I need power to crush you?"Anthony stood frozen in place, looking like a helpless little lamb that was about to be beaten up by Terrence."Remember what I said. Otherwise, the Sullivan family you worked so hard to cling on to? I can tear that connection apart. If you don't know who I am, then go ask Janice about me. Understood?" Terrence threatened.Anthony nodded.Then, Terrence smiled and walked back to his car. He pulled the top back up and drove off without a second glance.U

Jane always outshone Rosanna in every way, so how could Rosanna possibly like her?Jane said softly, "Rosanna, I know you don't like me, but you're still family. I know you're just a straightforward and blunt person. You've never meant me any harm.Rosanna rolled her eyes internally at that. Jane couldn't be more wrong."I don't want you and Aspen to get divorced." Jane helped Rosanna sit down and crouched to examine her ankle. "It's sprained. I'll call a doctor.""No!" Rosanna was incredibly vulnerable at that moment.A vulnerable person's greatest weakness was someone being gentle to them.Jane frowned. "How could you not see a doctor? Just wait here. I'll go quietly. I'll make sure no one notices and bring the doctor over. No one will find out."After a pause, Jane continued, "I won't tell anyone about the divorce, either."Rosanna's ankle was throbbing with pain. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded. "Don't tell everyone!"Jane smiled gently and went off to find the doc

"As lawyers, we only need to achieve the desired outcome for our client. Nothing else matters," Malcolm said.The assistant fell silent.Aspen slumped down onto the hospital bed, looking defeated, while Rosanna sobbed uncontrollably."Enough crying. Go check on Mom," Aspen said impatiently.Rosanna choked out, "I refuse! Your mother never liked me to begin with. With what happened to Chandler, both of us are responsible as his parents, but your mother will definitely only blame me! You can go if you want!"After that, Rosanna grabbed her purse."Where are you going?" Aspen asked."I'm going to figure out a way to save my son!" Rosanna snapped and started to walk off.Aspen grabbed her arm. "I'm warning you. Don't go after Kristen again! This has nothing to do with her!""Kristen, Kristen! She's all you care about, even now. Her daughter stood there and humiliated you in front of everyone, making you out to be some creepy stalker, and you're still defending her?" Rosanna finally

"Chandler from that certain all-powerful family underwent a psychological evaluation every six months at his school abroad. Just over two months ago, when he had just returned to the country, he had one done. "His mental state is fine. You parents might've been driven crazy by anger, but not him."There was a frenzy online.The original post was quickly deleted, but people had already saved screenshots of all the relevant documents.Inside the Hunt residence, Aspen's hand was wrapped in gauze when he heard what the lawyer had to say. He exploded on the spot. "Who leaked something this private? Check with Chandler's school! I'm suing them! Every last person who leaked it!"The lawyer said gravely, "I've already checked. The school's digital database was hacked. Mr. Hunt, I told you yesterday to maintain a good line of communication with the victim's side. If you did, there might have been a chance for settlement. Why did you hire online trolls to spread lies?"The lawyer added, "N

"Mason, I'm not doing this for the Fridman family. I'm now a part of the Hunt family as your aunt. Even if you don't want Violet, that's fine. Summer really isn't right for you!" Jane still wore that sincere, gentle expression."Have you ever thought about why a girl with such ambition would want to be with you?" Jane asked.Mason looked at Jane. "That's where you're wrong. Summer wasn't the one who came looking for me. I'm the one who chased after her."Jane was speechless.Who in their right mind would believe that?At that moment, the elevator arrived. Mason didn't say another word to her as he got in the elevator and left.Jane stood in place.She never imagined that everything she had so carefully planned would be thrown off by the Hartford Group heiress who appeared out of nowhere."All that effort, Jane, and you were paving the way for someone else." A flamboyantly dressed woman walked over at that moment.She, too, was one of the many daughters-in-law of the Hunt family

"Tell Grandma I was here," Mason said before he turned to leave.These past few days had been unbearable for Aspen, especially with everything Summer exposed that day.All these years, people had assumed that there had been something between him and Kristen. It had always been something he could brag about, but the truth was exposed to the public today. That last shred of connection he had with Kristen had shattered as well.On top of that, Chandler was about to face serious criminal charges. Aspen felt like his heart was being set on fire."Mason!" he shouted after Mason, but Mason ignored him.Aspen clenched his teeth and rushed toward Mason with a sharp fruit knife in hand.Things had come to a point of no return anyway. If he had nothing left to lose, he might as well drag Mason down with him. If he killed Mason, maybe Royal Financial Group would fall back into Victoria's hands.But Aspen had underestimated Mason too much. His blade didn't even graze Mason. Mason merely gra

In the end, Mason still went to the private hospital that the Hunt family owned. As he stepped out of the elevator, all he saw were members of the Hunt family, gathered in full force.Mason knew exactly what was going on.These people hadn't shown up out of affection. They were just afraid that Victoria might actually die, so they were here early to wait for the inheritance."Mason, what the hell did you do to Grandma?"The moment they saw Mason, they pounced like a pack of wild dogs, but not a single one of them actually dared to touch him.If Victoria did die, Mason's threat level would skyrocket a hundredfold."This is a hospital. Why are you all being so loud?" Mason asked coldly.Jane ran over. "Everyone, calm down. This had nothing to do with Mason. She only got a heart attack because of Ms. Hartford's press conference."After that, Jane looked at Mason. "Mason, everyone's just worried, so they're a bit emotional. Don't take it to heart.""Where is Violet?" Mason asked.

"Mr. Hunt, is Ms. Hartford seriously that fierce?" Kyle was stunned after watching the live stream."She is." Mason nodded."But won't her attitude cause you a lot of trouble?" Kyle asked.Mason seemed completely composed. "It's a good thing. This gives me the perfect excuse to tear off that fake peaceful facade in the Hunt residence. I won't have to go back there anymore.""Where did Ms. Hartford even get all the evidence from?" Kyle wondered.Kristen and the others were wondering that at home as well."Summer, getting the footage from the school is one thing, but where did you get the other stuff?" Henry asked, pointing to the case files and mediation records Summer had shown during the press conference."Yeah, I don't even have those myself," Kristen said emotionally.She had never imagined that this matter could ever be cleared up. In fact, one of the reasons she'd refrained from making a comeback for so many years was because of that."Mr. Cohen!" Summer looked at Robin.

Summer paused in disgust. "I don't know how Mr. Aspen Hunt defines courtship these days. At the very least, I was taught that if someone dislikes you to the level of reporting it to the police, they want you out of their lives."Summer said, "Continuing on, Mr. Aspen Hunt, in a mediation from September 26 years ago, promised that he would no longer stalk or harass Ms. Kristen Woods."Summer put down the documents in her hand and faced the camera. "That's about it for now. I'll upload everything online later, including the surveillance footage I showed earlier. Anyone interested can go take a look."With how calm she seemed to be, those who didn't know she was trying to set the record straight might have thought she was giving a lecture."My mother has never been a fighter. She's gentle by nature. Because of Mr. Aspen's background, she didn't want to cause Hartford Group trouble and has endured silently all these years. But as her daughter, I couldn't keep letting filth like this spr

Summer played two segments of surveillance footage. She said calmly, "This is only a part of it, but it's enough to prove that I never knew Chandler before. He was the one persistently harassing me. With that, the rumors should collapse on their own."Everyone had assumed that the purpose of her conference was just to clarify the relationship between her and Chandler. But everyone was wrong."Let's set that part aside for now. I'm sure you all saw the trending news this morning. Chandler deliberately ran over and killed my family's driver," Summer uttered.Violet and the others sitting in front of the television were on the verge of losing it.The live stream had drawn over ten million viewers, and the number was still steadily climbing."I also know who's behind these disgusting rumors. After all, this isn't the first time they've resorted to these tactics. I don't like being in front of the media, and I didn't hold this press conference today for the sake of clearing my own nam
