Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 869

"Maybe it was because I knew my mother had a sweet tooth when I was little," Dylan said, his voice tinged with nostalgia. "I always wanted to make her happy, so I poured myself into studying desserts. I secretly founded this brand outside the family's view, hoping to give it to her as a birthday present. But before her birthday arrived, I was kidnapped... and ultimately abandoned by my own family."

He looked at Elena. "Later, when I met you and learned how much you love sweets, I suddenly felt that all those years of perfecting desserts had real meaning. Maybe we were destined to meet, and my work was always meant for you. Tell me, Elena, don't you think this was fate's arrangement?"

"It really seems like it. Some things are just meant to be."

Elena leaned against Dylan's shoulder, a blissful smile touching her lips.

She suddenly thought of her old mentor. She had a feeling the old man was hiding a massive secret about her rebirth.

Perhaps it truly was connected to Dylan.

After she was reborn, the gears of fate had shifted. Everything about her seemed inextricably linked to him.

She just didn't know where the old man had gone. If only she could find him.

"Dylan, there's something I want to tell you." She wanted to confess the truth about her second life.

"Go ahead, I'm listening."

"Actually, I... I've been reborn."

Dylan turned to look at her and playfully flicked her forehead.

"We just had dessert, and now you're talking nonsense? What rebirth? Have you been reading too many webnovels? Every time I open my phone, there are ads for those second-chance romance stories. I think you're obsessed," he teased.

Elena was speechless.

Never mind.

Who would believe something like this unless they experienced it themselves?

If the roles were reversed, she wouldn't believe it either.

A moment later, Elena's phone rang. It was Sienna.

Sienna called one after another, sounding incredibly urgent.

"Look at this," Sienna said, pointing at her computer screen.

"Prism Creative Agency just released a new line of designs. Aren't these the ones we were about to launch? They published them first! How are we supposed to release our collection now? These are clearly our studio's designs, yet they've ended up in their hands. This is outrageous. We definitely have a mole in the company!"

This collection was the combined effort of many top-tier designers at the studio.

Everyone in the company had poured their hearts and souls into the 'Her' collection.

To think that the garments designed by so many of their own creatives had been stolen and published early by a rival firm.

It was utterly despicable.

All the related partnerships had already been finalized. Now that the work was plagiarized, LUMEN Studio would face massive compensation claims.

"Have you checked it yourself? Who usually has access to these design drafts?"

"I checked. Once the drafts were submitted to me, they were kept in my custody. Only two of my assistants had access to them for work purposes, but I investigated them, and it wasn't them."
