Escape from Mr. Whitman (Emma and Theodore) novel Chapter 560

Sure enough, Isla immediately posted something even more catastrophic: I, Isla Greenwood, take full responsibility for my actions. Yes, I plagiarized the concept of Soaring Wings from Emma. I own up to what I did, and effective immediately, I am permanently retiring from dance. I will fully compensate Emma for all financial damages and issue a formal, public apology for the harm I've caused her reputation. I am also prepared to face all legal consequences. To the dancers who performed with me, thank you, and I am so sorry. I won't be able to share the stage with you anymore. I hope future companies judge you based on your immense talent. The plagiarism and the feud with Emma were entirely my doing, and you had no part in it.

Margaret thought she was going to have a heart attack.

With a statement like that, not even the greatest PR firm on earth could save them. The only out would be to claim temporary insanity...

But they had spoiled Isla her entire life. They couldn't bear to slap a psychiatric label on her.

Hearing the commotion, Robert rushed over. "What happened?"

Margaret shoved the phone into his hands, wiping away her tears. "This is all your fault! You and your stupid arranged marriage talks since they were kids! You turned Sebastian into her obsession!"

Robert read the post and, surprisingly, shrugged it off. "Enough. Let's just put an end to it. Stealing the choreography was a mistake anyway. She confessed. It officially puts the matter to rest. We'll pay the fines, issue the apologies, and move on."

"Easy for you to say! Do you know how humiliating this is? And what about the Remingtons? Sebastian publicly humiliated her! So she quits dance, stays off the internet—does she have to drop out of high society entirely, too?" Margaret snapped. "After Sebastian slapped her in the face like that, how is anyone going to look at her? The Remington marriage is dead in the water. Who's going to want to align with us now? We'll be the laughingstock of the city."
