The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1609

"I always thought you were sharp, Chloe. Designing isn't something you can take advantage of just because you're tight with someone. Mrs. Harper's life hangs in the balance, and you single-handedly took her designs to gain profits. It's heartless! I hope you return the designs to the Harper family promptly. Considering your care for Damon over the past days, let's end this issue here."

Chloe smirked in silence. End it here? He just publicly announced it in this manner. Everyone knows that the costumes she's promoting for the production aren't clean. Nothing could be worse. And he has the gall to say 'end it here'? How generous.

The press under the stage was thoroughly excited.

"Ms. Summers... is... is this true? You really used someone else's design without permission?"

"Isn't it obvious? Mrs. Harper is now in a critical condition. How could she agree to let her use her designs?" That reporter was determined to pin the blame on Chloe.

"Ms. Summers, you're a designer yourself. Shouldn't you be the most resistant to issues of ownership and plagiarism? How could you do such a thing?"d2

"She probably thought that since Damon spoiled her, everything that belonged to Damon's mother should naturally be hers."

The smile on Chloe's face gradually cooled down, and she turned to look at that provocative reporter. "When did you become my spokesperson?"

The reporter's face stiffened for a moment, but he shrugged off nonchalantly. A clear 'I won't bother arguing with you since you're on the brink of doom' attitude.

Chloe's gaze fell on the work badge around the reporter's neck, "Gossip Whisper?" She spoke lightly, full of mockery. "As a reporter, if you can't be truly objective, you should at least be efficient in conveying your message to the public in a rigorous and fair manner. Your value lies in solidifying the public's morals, and ensuring the credibility of the news. Your interviewing style is biased and aggressive, even speaking on behalf of the interviewee. Why don't you exercise the judge's rights as well and charge me directly, what do you say?"

Chloe's gaze was sharp, sweeping through the dense crowd under the stage, and she slightly smiled.

"The saying goes 'Greed will be the death of us'. If you receive benefits from others, you need to fulfill your obligations diligently. But don't overdo it. I don't care about you using your authority for personal gain, but you should at least have the bottom line of a journalist."

The low murmuring in the crowd gradually quieted down, and some people's expressions began to look off.

Using authority for personal gain, they all had their share in it. Now that it was brought up, they inevitably felt guilty.

Chloe didn't feel any resistance. The industry's certain means and rules were like this at times, and when necessary, she wouldn't reject doing so. But the prerequisite was that no one should use it against her. She's not some saint; she could play the double standard game too!

Facing the gazes around him, the reporter turned pale. "The embroidery design is indeed Elizabth's. Are you going to admit it?"

"When did I say I wouldn't admit it?"

Chloe clearly interrupted the reporter, causing another round of excitement among the journalists. "So, you're admitting to stealing someone else's design?"

Chloe replied, "The design is indeed hers, but I can't admit to stealing! I don't think that as a member of the Harper family, Robin can accuse me of stealing Elizabeth's design. Perhaps in his mind, as the eldest son of the Harper family, it's outrageous for Damon to take his mother's belongings."

After finishing, she turned her gaze to the reporter, "When you see Mr. Robin, please ask him for me if every decision in the Harper family must go through him? Such a tyrant..."

Chloe paused, suddenly her lips curled into a smile, the humor in her eyes made everyone shudder, then all eyes were on her lips, listening to her voice slowly rise, "Does he have enough power in his hands now?"

Everyone gasped, this Ms. Summers, she dares to say anything. The reporter's face turned ugly. Her words stripped him bare.
