Chapter 369
“I’m sorry,” Silvia softly said.
Neil was surprised. He did not expect Silvia to apologize so suddenly.
“What did Ada say?”
Silvia shook her head. “She didn’t say anything.”
“Why are you apologizing then?”
“Because I didn’t trust you enough. Because I suspected you of such trivial things. I feel bad about it.”
After she said this, Neil pulled her into an embrace.
“There’s no need to apologize. I have to work on myself since you don’t trust me enough.”
His deep but gentle voice rang in her ears. Her eyes started to well up, so she reached out to hug him.
“I won’t jump to conclusions in the future.”
Neil chuckled softly and said, “It’s okay. I’ll always like you no matter what.”
Once she calmed down, Silvia moved out of his embrace. “Let’s go back,” she said with her eyes lowered.
When he noticed that she was blushing, he started the car in high spirits.
After they returned to the mansion, the situation online changed as they finished dinner.
was created earlier than Rita’s. Now, the Internet is accusing MY Corporation of stealing from them. Also, Perficient said that they’re going to sue us!”
Dulcie contacted Silvia in a hurry. “Sil, Perficient provided a draft 6ished dinner.
Silvia had an ice–cold look in her eyes. “I understand. We’ll continue once I’ve looked into this.”
She logged into her Twitter after the call. When she saw that MY Corporation and Perficient were trending, she immediately clicked on the hashtags.
Sure enough, Perficient had provided a time for their initial draft. It was earlier than Rita’s by a whole month!
Silvia was not pleased. The timeline that Perficient provided made it look like Rita had copied
them.
However, the clothes they produced resembled her edited designs, not Rita’s initial designs. From there, she could prove that Perficient had taken her amended designs.
So, how did they manage to make that so–called “initial draft” earlier than Rita’s by a month?
If her team conducted a proper investigation, they could prove their innocence.
She saved the picture on Perficient’s official Twitter account. Then, she sent it to Dominic via WhatsApp.

After he sent her an “okay” emoji, she put down her phone and took a shower.
Over in the Williams Family, Blake gave Rita a call once he reached home. His face was full of
Tage.
“What’s this about you plagiarizing Perficient’s designs?”
Blake had treated his client to dinner that night. He only found out about the plagiarism whe his client brought it up. He immediately felt ashamed.
Bila’s eyes turned red. She had cried over this many times.
“I have no idea. I didn’t plagiarize anyone’s designs. The people at Perficient are behind this. I don’t know
they’ve stolen my designs.”
Blake frowned when he heard this. “Stay at home for the time being. We’ll talk more about this after a proper investigation,” he said in displeasure.
“Alright.”
When she walked out of the study, a staff member approached her with a black box.
“Miss Rita, you have a package.”
Rita took the box and went upstairs right away.
She opened the black box back in her room. When she saw what was inside, her face fell. Soon, she ran into the bathroom to vomit.
There was a dead rat and a note in the box.
[This is just the beginning. Copycats don’t deserve to live. Next time, you’ll be dead instead of the rat!]
After her shower, Silvia discovered that she had over ten missed calls from Dulcie. There were many messages from her as well.
Just as she was about to call back, Dulcie sent her another message.
The moment she read it, she froze.
