Chapter 1523
She was just looking for a document pn Estelle’s computer. But instead of logging out after finding it, she continued
snooping around on Estelle’s computer and soon enough, she found the folder where Estelle kept all her design
drafts.
She was clearly amazed as she went through the designs one by one. After a slight hesitation, she got up and
started looking around the room. Anyone at the press conference knew what she was trying to find surveillance
cameras!
Seemingly convinced that there were no cameras in the room, Carmella glanced around one more time before
starting to print out Estelle’s designs in a rush.
The whole scene was recorded, from her initial surprise and hesitation to her final frantic excitement. All her

The room went nuts.
Jason said calmly, “Carmella was fired from Snowy Studios for plagiarism when she used to work there. But we
didn’t announce it publicly because we wanted to give her a chance to rebound. Who would have thought she’d do
something like this again, and even worse than before! KING has been attacked by Carmella more than once. She
had the evidence, but she wanted to give Carmella a chance to make amends. Sadly, things have escalated to this
point.”
Everyone turned to look at Carmella with looks of shock, contempt, and even disgust.
Not only did she steal designs, she used them for personal gain, framed the original designer, and vehemently
denied plagiarizing their work. She even hired internet trolls to attack the original designer online. It was
outrageous!
The reporters flocked to Carmella.
“Ms. Carmella, the evidence is clear. What do you want to say for yourself?”
“You swore you didn’t plagiarize. Aren’t you afraid of karma?”
“Didn’t you feel guilty when you incited your fans to attack KING online?”
“Do your new company Visionary Studios and people from Beauty’s Wardrobe know you’re a plagiarist? Are they
covering for you?”
One reporter shoved a mic in the faces of Terrence and others, “Are you Carmella’s family? Did you know she was
plagiarizing?”
Terrence was so angry that he looked like he was about to have a heart attack. He pushed the reporter aside and
stormed out of the room.
Carmella’s mother and Natalia couldn’t handle the pressure either and quickly left.

But Carmella and Simone were surrounded by reporters and couldn’t escape.
Carmella was pale and shaken. The crowd’s contemptuous stares felt like knife cuts. She cowered and leaned on
Simone, “Mom, help me, please!”
Simone slapped her hard, “You’re such a disgrace!”
The slap left Carmella’s ears ringing. She swayed, blacked out, and collapsed.
After she fainted, the room became even more chaotic. Jason called an ambulance and announced the end of the
press conference.
With Carmella unconscious, reporters turned their attention to Estelle. Jason and Sophia protected Estelle and left
through the back door.
Harriet was left to handle the aftermath.
“Everything has been laid bare. KING will not be appearing in public in the future. If you have any respect for her,
please reserve her privacy and personal space. We thank the press for your understanding and cooperation. Staff
will assist you to leave shortly!”
