Chapter 400 Blackmailed

Elisa tapped on her laptop and casually said, “A piece of cake. Leave it to me.” Gigi didn’t trust her and said indifferently, “If you don’t deal with it properly, I don’t want to see you again.”

She strutted away to continue with her photoshoot after that. Elisa laughed in disdain. “If it wasn’t for Mr. Boyle, who told me to look after you, do you think I would be willing to wait upon a has-been like you?”

Gigi’s new talent agency was Milky Way Entertainment, which was established last year. The CEO was Zach Boyle, but the biggest shareholder of the company was Edbert.

Gigi had been locked up for three days and three nights after she made a scene at Royden Group. When she came out of the room, she was faced with a contract.

There was only one requirement in it. She had to be incredibly popular and continue pursuing Edgar.

Before going to the La Laux office, she knew that Jean would be there. She wanted to laugh when she saw how determined Jean was.

What was the point of Jean being pleased with herself?

Everything was a match that the Royden family had set up.

When the outside world received word from Milky Way Entertainment, they didn’t terminate their contracts with La Laux. Instead, they thought that it wasn’t very wise for the magazine publisher to make an exception for a designer who had been tainted and plagiarized.

There were even comparison pictures from when Jean had plagiarized other works since she had been working for MON & Co.

Some expressed anonymously that Eyer Group was planning to develop and expand into investment, but Jean was pivoting into design. This was putting the cart before a horse.

Or maybe she wanted to launder money.

Gigi hadn’t been very popular with the public, and many people resisted her coming out of retirement.

But now, people were defending her against injustice. “Gigi’s child was previously hurt in the hospital because of Jean. How can this woman be so evil? She keeps pestering others like an evil spirit.”

In one afternoon, Jean received countless abusive and uncivil messages.

She never thought that there would come a day when she would be cyberbullied because of Gigi.

When she called La Laux, they only said, “We apologize, Ms. Eyer. We are currently verifying. We are very sorry if it has caused any harm to you, but before we get to the bottom of things, we have no way to take action.”

Were they ignoring it and letting it be?

Jean couldn’t contact Edna at all. The calls she made to the office were all transferred.

She was still receiving all sorts of messages and calls. She had no other way and could only turn off her cell phone.

On the other end, Edgar had publicly expressed that he wasn’t feeling well, so he was resting at home.

Miles rushed to Royden’s family Villa only to see that his boss had a cold expression and a threatening chill around him.

“What happened?”

“Mr. Royden, this is a problem within the design industry. I’ve instructed people to investigate, but there is still no conclusion for the time being.” It was the first time Miles felt so helpless.

Their different industries felt like worlds apart.

“Miles, how long have you been at the company?” Edgar threw out such a query instead of following up with questions.

“Almost six years, Mr. Royden.”

“It’s been long enough. If you want a different position, let me know anytime…”

“Just a moment, Mr. Royden. I will go to La Laux now.”

He reacted quickly and left before Edgar lost his temper.

Edgar didn’t know much about design, but he had seen with his own two eyes the process of Jean sketching the draft.

How could she have plagiarized? She didn’t even have a point of reference.

He took out his cell phone and made a call to Nathan.

One hour later, Edgar created an authenticated social media account.

He posted in support of Jean.

‘Her design was not plagiarized. I’m available to testify any time.’
