Chapter 264

After the meeting, Hayden returned to his office. Her newly hired assistant, Anna, followed her to hand her the documents that needed Hayden’s signature. Then, she placed an invitation card on Hayden’s desk.

“Miss Downey, this is the invitation we received this morning for the wine tasting party hosted by the AW Group at the end of the month.”

There were only the letters ‘AW’ printed in white on the light blue invitation card. If it didn’t tell him it was an invitation to a wine tasting party, Hayden would think it was an invitation to a wedding.

“Who sent this card?”

“Señor Sanchez’s assistant.”

At her words, Hayden froze for a moment. He thought Cleveland was quite carefree, even asking his assistant to come and bring him an invitation. His life seemed to be going very well lately.

Hayden opened the invitation card and read the brief, pithy words written in pen.

[The more Freddie asks for you to come, the less I want you to come. Cleveland].

Hayden let out a laugh.

“Miss Downey.” His assistant was a little puzzled and perplexed, “You’re going?”

“Yes, of course I’m going.” Hayden closed the invitation card and set it aside. He raised his eyebrows and replied, “I was so sincerely invited, I must go.

I could go to meet some of the elites in the industry, plus get Cleveland in a bit of a pickle. It sounded like something being quite interesting.

Since Green Lemon Clothing had just been established, all cooperative orders with other companies had to be executed one at a time. Aside from the Joann Group orders, Hayden also planned to talk to Cleveland. After all, he had a lot of resources in this business sector.

When his assistant had left, Dante knocked on the door and entered.

“Is something wrong?”

“Don’t you think these rumors on the Internet came about very ‘casually’?”. Dante placed a stack of freshly printed designs directly on Hayden’s desk and said, “Take a look at this. Benjamin just sent it to my email.”

“Isn’t this the design…no.” Hayden immediately frowned as he looked at some of the designs, “Isn’t this…?”.

“These designs are more than seventy percent similar to the designs we sent to Joann Group. If their fabric samples are also made according to our design, then there will be little difference between the clothing samples they sent and the ones we sent.”

“These designs are from what company?”. Hayden took a deep breath and became very serious, “It’s plagiarism.”

“We have no proof. It looks like they sent it to the Joann Group before we did.” Dante’s face was grim as he replied, “They’re from Yi-Pai Clothing Clothing.”

Yi-Pai Clothing was one of the top three clothing companies in N City. The company knew very well how to do online marketing and also participated in the Joann Group’s contest. The company often hunted talented workers from small companies and copied their ideas to compete with others. The small companies couldn’t afford to mess with them, so they usually didn’t do anything either.

“Have we become the company’s target?” Hayden wrinkled his eyebrows.

“Joann Group was introduced to us by the editor-in-chief of VV magazine. I think Yi-Pai Clothing is jealous of our company since Green Lemon Clothing is considered a small and unpopular company and can only be considered as a studio now, but nevertheless our company is able to participate in this competition.”
