âIâm sorry,â Silvia softly said.
Neil was surprised. He did not expect Silvia to apologize so suddenly.
âWhat did Ada say?â
Silvia shook her head. âShe didnât say anything.â
âWhy are you apologizing then?â
âBecause I didnât trust you enough. Because I suspected you of such trivial things. I feel bad about it.â
After she said this, Neil pulled her into an embrace.
âThereâs no need to apologize. I have to work on myself since you donât trust me enough.â
His deep but gentle voice rang in her ears. Her eyes started to well up, so she reached out to hug him.
âI wonât jump to conclusions in the future.â
Neil chuckled softly and said, âItâs okay. Iâll always like you no matter what.â
Once she calmed down, Silvia moved out of his embrace. âLetâs go back,â 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.
Dulcie contacted Silvia in a hurry. âSil, Perficient provided a draft that was created earlier than Ritaâs. Now, the Internet is accusing MY Corporation of stealing from them. Also, Perficient said that theyâre going to sue us!â
Silvia had an ice-cold look in her eyes. âI understand. Weâll continue once Iâve looked into this.â
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 Ritaâs 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 Ritaâs initial designs. From there, she could prove that Perficient had taken her amended designs.
So, how did they manage to make that so-called âinitial draftâ earlier than Ritaâs by a month?
If her team conducted a proper investigation, they could prove their innocence.
She saved the picture on Perficientâs official Twitter account. Then, she sent it to Dominic via WhatsApp.
[Analyze this picture. See if thereâs a problem with the time listed.]
After he sent her an âokayâ 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 rage.
âWhatâs this about you plagiarizing Perficientâs designs?â
Blake had treated his client to dinner that night. He only found out about the plagiarism when his client brought it up. He immediately felt ashamed.
Ritaâs eyes turned red. She had cried over this many times.
âI have no idea. I didnât plagiarize anyoneâs designs. The people at Perficient are behind this. I donât know why theyâve stolen my designs.â
Blake frowned when he heard this. âStay at home for the time being. Weâll talk more about this after a proper investigation,â he said in displeasure.
âAlright.â
When she walked out of the study, a staff member approached her with a black box.
âMiss Rita, you have a package.â
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 donât deserve to live. Next time, youâll be dead instead of the rat!]

Just as she was about to call back, Dulcie sent her another message.
The moment she read it, she froze.
