Soon, the new product was launched with Yaslyn's support behind the scenes.As Xoan expected, some attentive people noticed similarities between the two products on the first day of the launch. To their shock, the Warren Group's new offering was a carbon copy of the Linton Group's piece!Was the Warren Group trying to destroy its own brand?Social media forums exploded with everyone discussing the farce—why it happened and how it should be handled."I think the Warren Group is going under this time. Are they out of talent, copying the Linton Group's designs?""What nonsense are you spewing? This was designed by Yaslyn herself. Do you really think she would plagiarize them?""Don't be so naive. Everyone copies at some point. It's called referencing.""I agree. I'm siding with the Linton Group on this."The online sentiment was almost entirely in the Linton Group's favor, apart from some zealous Yaslyn fans. Everyone else denounced Yaslyn as a 'plagiarist'.The person in questio
Chapter 45 A Bet"Fire!"Someone shouted, and the room erupted into chaos as everyone rushed for the exit.The office was on the eighth floor, so the elevators were obviously out of the question. They discovered that the fire had reached the fourth floor as they ran downstairs. Thick smoke blocked the view of the stairwell, and the choking fumes were unbearable.The group had no choice but to go back.Yaslyn did not follow the others downstairs. Turning back, she saw Xoan standing beside her, holding two towels dampened with water."Use these, so you don't inhale the smoke."Yaslyn dialed the emergency line on her phone. Upon seeing the panicked crowd, she raised her voice."Everyone, don't panic! Getting anxious is useless, and it could put you in danger. If you don't want to get hurt, listen to me."The group looked up in fear but chose to trust Yaslyn's words."Everyone, get a towel or cloth. Wet them before covering your nose and mouth. Also, get yourselves as wet as possible to av
Chapter 48 Opposing TeamsYaslyn's interest was piqued. "But what?"Andy looked around to see if anyone was listening to their conversation before whispering, "The host is a fan of Henry Warren. Since you previously filmed a video with Henry as a couple, you'll most likely be a target."Yaslyn did not care about that. On the contrary, she was looking forward to the interview that afternoon. "Well, then. Let's see what she has up her sleeves."Sure enough, the TV station sent someone to interview Yaslyn at three in the afternoon. The host was in a body-hugging suit, showing off her slender figure.The men in the office ogled at her, wishing it was them being interviewed by her.The host instantly felt threatened when she saw Yaslyn looking extremely beautiful and graceful.So, she was her love rival."Hello, I'm Nadia Osborne. I'll be interviewing you today."Yaslyn smiled and nodded. "Hello. I'm Yaslyn Lyon.""If you don't mind, we'll get right into the interview."Nadia looked at the
The man looked around twenty years old, with rugged features and eyes brimming with warmth."What's your name?"Rowan Yackley smiled gently. "You can call me Mr. Yackley."Yaslyn asked solemnly, "Why do you want to come along?""Like you, I have flight experience. Two would fare better than one.Yaslyn agreed, sensing his honesty.The pilots were extremely anxious. As newly appointed crew with little experience, they were about to break down.The pilot frowned when he saw Rowan and Yaslyn entering the cockpit."What are you youngsters doing here?" he scolded, "This is no place for you to be. Get back to your seats!"Yaslyn stepped forward patiently. "Captain, I have flight experience. May I try maneuvering the plane?""You? You're too young! Get back to your seat!""How can you determine I'm incapable without letting me try? The plane is clearly malfunctioning and about to crash. Are you willing to jeopardize everyone's lives?"Yaslyn had no patience to convince him politel
Yaslyn rolled her eyes helplessly. Unfortunately, she was no match for Xoan's strength and could only stay put.Rowan stopped chatting with Yaslyn and returned to his seat to rest.They soon arrived in Boise City. Xoan and Yaslyn parted ways with Rowan when they left the plane."I just realized we never got Mr. Yackley's name."Xoan glared at Yaslyn. "Oh? You want to know his name that badly?"Yaslyn continued, completely oblivious to his sarcasm. "Well, of course. We fought side by side, after all. I'm quite curious about his identity."Side by side indeed.Xoan looked away and ignored her.Unexpectedly, Yaslyn caught sight of that familiar face again at the check-in counter when they arrived at the hotel."Mr. Yackley, what a coincidence."Turning back and seeing Xoan and Yaslyn approach him, Rowan's face lit up with a sunny smile. "You're here as well. What a coincidence indeed."Yaslyn asked curiously, "I still don't know your name, Mr. Yackley."Rowan chuckled. "It's R
'York?'Xoan and Yaslyn looked at each other, instantly understanding who was behind it."I didn't expect York to do this. Does he really think I wouldn't dare to make a move against him?"Yaslyn angrily clenched her teeth. If it were not for Xoan, she probably would have been hurt by the thug."Can I leave now?"The thug slowly stood up, wanting to slip away. However, Xoan kicked him in the knee, making him fall again.Xoan hissed, "You attempted rape. You will be held accountable for your actions."The man cried, "Hey! I've already told you who's behind this. Just let me go!"Yaslyn glared at him. "Say one more word, and it won't be as simple as just jail time."The man was frightened and shut his mouth.Yaslyn called the police to take the thug to the station. Then, she tidied up, preparing to deal with York after the meeting.Xoan and Yaslyn met in a private room on the hotel's first floor. When Yaslyn walked in, she saw a familiar man standing across from her.Rowan sm
After figuring it out, Yaslyn returned to the hotel and knocked on Xoan's door."Xoan, there's something I want to discuss with you."Before Yaslyn could continue, she was interrupted by Xoan."I'm busy right now."Noticing Xoan's bad mood, Yaslyn kept silent.The two stood in stalemate at the door for a while. Xoan seemed to realize his tone was too harsh. Just as he was about to speak, a call suddenly came through.Xoan answered the call. Yerick's voice clearly came through from the other end."Xoan, Sadie's back."Those three words were like a stone thrown into the calm lake, creating ripples in Xoan's heart.Yerick and Sadie had a good relationship as they were university classmates.Without even thinking, Xoan instinctively blurted out, "Where is she? Tell me."It was very quiet, and Yaslyn heard everything clearly.Sadie, the first love he liked for so many years… She was back?It seemed Yerick was right after all. Xoan could not forget her."She's only back for a s
"I hope you take the same liking to the Warren Group as you do to me, Mr. Yackley." Yaslyn answered politely.Rowan smiled. "Alright."After dealing with Rowan, Yaslyn booked the earliest flight back.She returned to the Warren Group to ask for a few days off to return and handle matters at Lukesh Company. However, she bumped right into Xoan."Yaslyn."Yaslyn was irritated by his indifference, asking sarcastically, "Shouldn't you be with your first love? Why are you here?""No, it's not what you think."When he had urgently rushed back, Yerick had told him he had made a mistake, and Sadie was not back yet.Also, his hurried departure was not because he still had feelings for Sadie. It was because he had a question unanswered for years that he needed to face Sadie to resolve.Xoan wanted to explain but was interrupted by Yaslyn."Mr. Warren, there's no need to explain yourself to me. I don't have time to chat about her now."Yaslyn left for the HR department to apply for time
