I Fell for the Man Who Ruined Me, Then He Forgot He Ever Loved Me Back novel Chapter 193

Rowena stood before the desk, watching him closely.

She didn't know what he thought of the revisions, but it felt like he had been staring at them for an eternity—long enough that her legs were starting to ache.

She discreetly shifted her weight to relieve the tension.

Jorrod snapped the folder shut and looked up at her.

She immediately straightened up, took a step forward, and leaned in slightly. "What do you think, Mr. Vaughn?"

He handed the file back to her. "Adjust the details on the final design and email it to me before the weekend."

Just adjusting details meant it was approved. Rowena silently exhaled in relief.

She took the folder with both hands and turned to leave. Before she could take a full step, his unhurried voice caught her.

"A few months ago, I recall asking the Design Department to conduct an internal review."

She turned back around.

His tone was flat, devoid of any fluctuation. "Regarding the non-original elements found in the Prism Series."

He looked straight at her. "What were the results?"

The incident had happened a while ago, but she remembered it clearly since it occurred right before his departure abroad.

"It was Nora Thorne, the assistant designer responsible for the initial screening. When compiling the drafts, she accidentally mixed in a different manuscript from her desk with the submission files."

"The design was approved at the review panel, and she was too afraid to speak up. Then..."

She paused, glancing at the silent man before carefully adding, "That employee was dismissed immediately, and she didn't raise any objections. It was handled rather quietly."

Finishing her explanation, she nervously studied his face and swallowed hard.

In the design world, plagiarism was a cardinal sin, even if it stemmed from a preventable mix-up. As the director, it was hard to completely dodge responsibility.

While she braced herself for his reprimand, he suddenly asked a completely unrelated question.

"What about Liam?"
