Chapter 191
Before Darin could finish speaking, Blanche interrupted her. “My boss already paid half a year’s worth of hospitalization fees. Even if you go home, we still need to pay her back.”
When Darin heard this, her heart bled at the thought of the amount they had to pay back. This ward must be incredibly expensive!”
Blanche peeled an apple and handed it to her. “Don’t worry. We’ll pay it back very soon!”
Meanwhile, Reva went back to Perficient in a daze, and she appeared dispirited. She was lost in her thoughts as she sat down.
She promised the chief designer yesterday that she would draw ten designs for the next season within a week. However, Blanche refused to draw her any more designs. How was she going to produce and submit ten of them now?
While Reva was irritated, the plagiarizing incident once again made waves online.
Eligance had made another announcement. They claimed to have no idea that the design had been plagiarized. In response, they would immediately fire the plagiarizer and recall all of her work. All the allegedly plagiarized clothes would then be donated to charity. They would also contact the designer, whose work had been plagiarized, and compensate her.
Soon after, most who were keeping tabs on the drama started to change their opinions to defend Eligance.
[Eligance has a great attitude. They’re not only firing the accused employee, but they’re also planning to compensate the original designer. Besides, they’re donating the clothes to charity. I’ll take Eligance’s side this time!]
[This is the Eligance that I’ve been a fan of for five years. This is an amazing solution! I’ll continue to support them!]
[Eligance’s PR team is really efficient unlike the team from a certain organization that’s still silent. They’re also very thoughtful. I’m buying my clothes from Eligance in the future.]
[That company is either playing dead, or it’s about to die soon. I took one look at its earnings. report from last quarter, and I’m pretty sure it’s going bankrupt!]
When Dulcie saw how biased the online comments were, she got so worked up that she burned with rage.
“Silvia, the online community is criticizing MY Corporation horribly. Why are you still so calm?”
Silvia glanced at her and said, “Don’t you need to work today? If you’re free, help me go through a few documents.”
“How can I? I’m too mad to do any reading!”
Some of Eligance’s staff had to be among those sarcastic commenters online. Their only purpose was to continue defaming MY Corporation.
“If you’re not in the mood to work with me, you can go home and rest.”
Dulcie was speechless.
Silvia went back to reading the documents. She appeared calm and not flustered at all.
When Dulcie saw her, she slowly calmed down as well.
After Eligance released the announcement, they saw the comments online and sighed in relief.
The issue was finally resolved.
Next, they would take the chance to carry on attacking MY Corporation.
When Aiden saw Eligance’s share price increase by a point, he instantly felt happy. The incident did not affect Eligance negatively and even increased the brand’s popularity.
“Thank you very much for today. I’ll treat you to steak tonight!”
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed.
“Thank you, Mr. York!”
“Thank you, Mr. York. I’ll try to hold back a little tonight!”
“Haha! Steak is my favorite…”
As everyone laughed and chatted happily, a shocked voice rang out.
“Look at Twitter! The whistleblower released another piece of news!”
