I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21 Can You Help?

"Okay, you handle that. What about the other company?" Harper said.

"I checked. Their boss, Mr. Turner, has a bad reputation in the industry. They've been losing money for years, tons of layoffs... Barely hanging on by a thread."

She nodded.

Frank added, "Should we confront them directly?"

"It would be pointless to confront them now."

But pointless or not, they had to move forward.

An hour later, they carefully compared the color palettes and posted both the copied and original designs on a forum. A few folks who could see the difference supported them, but most thought they were merely trying to shift the blame.

By the afternoon, there were people lurking around the company, harassing anyone trying to get in or out. This whole thing was spiraling out of control.

Harper had no choice but to call Yohan herself.

When the call connected, she cut to the chase. "Mr. Turner, we're all trying to make a living here. Isn't this a little over the top?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. Don't throw around baseless accusations. I could sue you for defamation," Yohan snapped back.

Harper's head throbbed. "Mr. Turner, does your company actually have proof that we copied anything? Accusing us without any proof by just throwing around a couple of pictures? That's some serious defamation, isn't it?"

"Listen up, missy. You better watch your mouth. If you are a real deal, you shouldn't be afraid of others messing with you. Disagree? Then prove your case. Otherwise, you better apologize and get out of this business, or you'll bear the consequences."

Yohan then hung up, giving Harper no chance to respond.

Harper seethed. This man was twisting the truth!

She took a deep breath, struggling to control the fury rising inside her.

If it had been a year ago, she would've exploded already.

But now, she had no choice but to restrain herself.

Harper told Frank, "The company might need to shut down for a few days. I'm worried about everyone's safety if we try to keep going like this. We can't let anyone get hurt."

"I was thinking the same," Frank replied, "Karen's already relaying the message."

Karen was Frank's secretary.
