Chapter 1608
Chloe nodded and effortlessly cast a video from her phone to therger screen, and one of the
trending footage from a few days ago materialized before the crowd.
The video showed Addie, treating the servants in her home with disdain, a sight that left the crowd
of journalists speechless.
Chloe’s intervention was a breath of fresh air, garnering appreciation from all those present. But
what was the issue with the video anyway?
It wasn’t until Chloe descended from the upper floor, her rolled–up documents prodding Addie’s
chin, that a journalist called out, “Stop!”
Chloe smirked and paused the video as requested c2
“May I ask, Ms. Summers, what is it that you’re holding right now?”
Everyone curiously focused on the object in Chloe’s hand When she had first entered the room, she
was empty–handed. Now, she held something that was surprisingly stealing the limelight
Considering the recent events, the crowd began to specte. Could it possibly mean. ?
Facing the journalist’s question, Chloe raised an eyebrow. “Just some documents, nothing you need
to concern yourself with.”
“But you did go upstairs in the video. What were you doing there?”
Chloe’s face hardened a bit. “Do I need to report to you every time I eat or use the restroom?”
The journalist scoffed, “Ms Summers, you entered Harper’s Mansion empty–handed. As we all
know from the video, you didn’t greet anyone from the Harper family when you arrived. You could
say you barged in. And then you took something from the house. Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”
Chloe responded with a light smile.
The journalist continued. “Upon leaving Harper’s Mansion, you neither went home nor returned to
your office. Instead, you immediately held a press conference and unveiled the content of the
documents. If I’m not mistaken, Ms. Summers, the design you made public is the one on Ms.
Watson’s dress, which you took from the Harper family, isn’t it?”
The crowd gasped collectively, looking at the screen with a newfound realization. The rolled–up
documents and theter–revealed design seemed too coincidental The conclusion was inevitable.
Chloe’s design originated from a less than honorable source.
“I used to live in Harper’s Mansion Isn’t it only natural for me to take a few things?” Chloe retorted.
The journalist smirked, a look of Ive got you figured out‘ stered across his face.
“Ms Summers, since you’re so forting, why don’t you tell us who designed the embroidery on
Ms. Watson’s dress, which you’ve proudly disyed to the public?”
Everyone’s gazended on Chloe. Even if she didn’t say it, they all knew the answer. They were just
waiting for her to admit it. Her admission would be very different from their spection.
Chloe remained silent, the smile gradually fading from her face. Crysti also realized something was
amiss.
“Ms. Summers, correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Elizabeth born into a family renowned for their
embroidery in the South?” The journalist continued to press on as Chloe remained tight–lipped.
“Even if you are close to Damon and Elizabeth, using her design without her permission is theft,
giarism, or perhaps you’ve simply appropriated someone else’s design?”

Theft, giarism, appropriating someone else’s design, these terms were intolerable in the design
world. The crowd immediately erupted into a cacophony of whispers and murmurs. The journalist
stood amidst the chaos, basking in his triumph.
People loved to see those who were sessful fall, and Chloe had learned this lesson from her
past dealings with Keira.
Understanding human nature and one’s temperament made it easy to control the narrative Most
people couldn’t stand seeing others do better
than them
Facing the triumphant journalist, Chloe knew that his satisfaction wasn’t solely due to the money he
made from this expose. You must have proof to back your words, my dear journalist friend.” Chloe
responded calmly, despite the uracy of his usations
But then again, she did have a grander n
1 wouldn’t make such usations without evidence Besides the video you just yed, the old
servant who was expeiled ser witness”
Chloe cut in “Does she have eyes in the back of her head or something? She was on the ground
floor, so how could she see what i was doing upstairs?”
The journalist scoffed, knew Ms Summers would be quick with her words, but I have more evidence.
Mr. Robin of the Harper Group can testify!”
A glimmer of satisfaction Rashed in Chloe’s eyes
Perfect
The crowd gasped at the mention of Mr Robin as a witness They hadn’t expected him to get
involved.
“Mr Robin had ess to the second floor survence footage from Harper’s Mansion, which clearly
showed Chloe entering Elizabethis room and leaving with documents He confirmed that many of the
design drafts, which had been in the possession of Elizabeth for years, were missing i have video
evidence as well as an audio recording of Mr Robin’s testimony
The journalist held up his phone, indicating that he had all the evidence at his fingertips.
Chloe shed a sly grin, letting the reporter rush the stage. Under the sh of the assembled press,
the screen of her smartphone came to life, disying the video evidence she held in her hands for
all to see. The video mirrored Chloe’s actions precisely as the reporter had just described. There
was even a personal video clip from Robin. In the video, he was dressed to the nines in a sharp
suit, his face devoid of the warm, genteel smile he usually wore. It was nd, emotionless. “Ms.
Summers, there’s a limit to everything,” he said. “Damon might indulge you, but that doesn’t mean
you can do as you please anywhere, anytime. Gatecrashing Harper’s Mansion is hardly polite, and
managing the household staff is not within your purview. Moreover, you took away my sister–in–
law’s cherished design sketches without a word, using them formercial purposes. It’s beyond
comprehension.”
