Semua Bab Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted: Bab 1541 - Bab 1550

Chad was not pleased with Stella's retort. Unable to outwit her, he redirected his frustration toward Maggie, whom he saw as an easier target, "Maggie, you've been fighting this lawsuit for so many years and still haven't won. So, nursing a grudge, you orchestrated this appalling spectacle to make us all uncomfortable, didn't you?"After setting the microphone down, he lowered his voice and issued a veiled threat, "I'm telling you. If I can make you slip in this industry back in the day, I can do it again."Stella stood close to Maggie and heard every word. She stepped forward to shield her and said in a cold and determined voice, "I sure want to see you try."Maggie looked at Stella and felt her heart racing.Stella turned, thinking Maggie was scared, and whispered, "Don't be afraid. He's all bark and no bite. He wouldn't dare lay a finger on you."Maggie smiled, took the microphone, and addressed the audience, "I have a way to prove which one of us is the true plagiarist."Her

Barbara panicked, and she quickly looked to Chad for help.Chad wore a stern expression and remained unyielding. He scoffed at Kenneth's assertion. "You weren't directly involved in the production, Mr. Green. How could you be so certain that this design can't be produced?"Kenneth's face turned pale. "I've been crafting jade for over forty years. I can discern at a glance which designs are feasible and which are not. You can bring someone here to create that piece if you doubt my judgment. If I'm wrong, I'll personally tarnish Emerald Skies Jeweler's reputation!"For a craftsman to stake his own reputation, he must be confident.Tension permeated the room. The audience below murmured, exchanging their thoughts."I'm not following here. What's the issue with not being able to produce it?""If it can't be produced, it means this design is merely a conceptual sketch. To put it bluntly, it's a draft. It's like scoring a hundred on an exam while someone next to you scores zero, and th

"I-I let my emotions get the better of me. I didn't think it through. And, Barbara manipulated me. She's the one who plagiarized Maggie's work. If you want to hold someone accountable, she's the one."Chad shifted the blame onto Barbara, trying to distance himself.Stella did not believe his nonsense. She knew that Barbara would not act brazenly if no one backed her up behind the scenes.Barbara grew anxious before Stella could say anything. "Mr. Benson, I came here at your request. Why are you pushing everything on me?"'What a fool! Does she think that her previous outburst wasn't enough?' Chad's voice was stern. "What do you mean you came at my request? Don't be silly. When you gave me the design, you told me it was your original work. That's why I put my position on the line and help you fight for your rights. But, it turns out that you have deceived me. I literally said so many good things about you to the boss earlier. Now, you need to go back and explain everything to him yo

'Keegan had completed his postgraduate studies. Even though he didn't pursue a Ph.D., he did spend a year studying abroad at a prestigious institution... It's true that Keegan lacks conversational skills. But, even so, his tongue can be quite sharp. As for kind-hearted?'Stella pondered for a moment. Before she officially met Keegan, Wenham had visited their home under the pretext of seeing Luna. There, he encountered Keegan, who managed to keep Wenham standing for a solid twenty minutes with a slant board.'Well, being kind-hearted isn't exactly Keegan's strong suit.'Stella struggled to find any strong arguments in his favor considering these aspects.Wenham's friend could not help but wonder, "With all these points against him, why did you agree to let your child date him?"Wenham waved a hand dismissively. "It's not like he doesn't have any merits. He's reasonably good-looking and on par with Trevor. He runs a successful chip-making company, which is no small feat. While he's

Vermont's words left Felicity stunned. "That's how I usually sleep," she said and defended herself."Oh, really?" Vermont did not believe her. "I remember you answering the door without a bra on when you didn't live with me. How do you explain wearing one to bed now that we're together? Are you putting up your guard against me? I can't even get a boner. What in the world can I do to you?""I-I'm not guarding against you," Felicity denied stubbornly. "I wear a bra because... because I read online that sleeping with a bra on prevents your boobs from sagging and spreading apart. Why would you think that I'm putting my guard up?"Vermont stole a glance at her chest and said, "Can't you just put it on after you've stimulated me?"Felicity blushed. "You don't even get a reaction when you watch explicit videos. How can I possibly help you?""I feel stuff when I lie in bed with you. Plus, the doctor suggested you to do it."Even though their voices were very low, Stella was sitting next
