Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth novel Chapter 1000

Chapter 1000 Facing Satire

Phantom stood in front of Besse, looking at her. Besse was looking back at her too. Phantom had never met Besse before, except for seeing her on the news and TV. But this woman was even more beautiful than those she saw on TV. It was hard not to be jealous of a designer who could look better than a model.

"Are you Besse?" Phantom asked directly.

Besse didn't seem ashamed when she saw Phantom. Before meeting with Phantom today, she felt guilty about the plagiarism incident and thought that she owed something to Phantom since she used someone else's original work without permission. Especially since the "Angel" series had been selling like hotcakes, she always thought about how to compensate for it.

But as she faced it, whether it was because of something that Phantom said or because of a confidence that suddenly arose within her, it seemed like this plagiarism incident wasn't as simple as it appeared on the surface and instead made her feel righteous.

"Yes," She answered confidently.

"What are you doing here?" Phantom asked her incredulously. She never expected this woman to have such audacity to come here and provoke her. Nor did the journalists.

Did she think everyone would be afraid of her because she was an internationally renowned designer?

Phantom did feel scared before though; when finding out that Besse's "Angel" series looked exactly like one of hers from before but didn't dare say anything, in case there were no benefits from doing so or worse yet getting blacklisted by others in the industry due to speaking out against someone more successful than herself. However, to capitalize on its popularity, she posted an article on Twitter, where people shared comments millions of times over. And that led to a situation where journalists came clawing down her door. She had never faced this before nor knew how best to answer them.

It wasn't until someone powerful offered to help, saying they'd give her the fame she wanted along with a large sum if she accused Besse of being responsible for all this mess, using her victim status against Besse. She couldn't resist the temptation and agreed without hesitation. With all these years when she was a nobody bullied by others in the design circle, she couldn't let go of the chance to fight back.

"I came here today wanting to talk with you," Besse spoke frankly.

"Are you here to talk to me or just because I held a press conference and you had no choice but to show up?" Phantom sneered. "Otherwise, as a small designer like me, you probably wouldn't have even noticed me."

"If I didn't notice you, I wouldn't still be in Northfield." Besse retorted.

"Then why didn't you come to find me before? Why did I have to hold a press conference for you to finally come to see me?" Phantom's tone was laced with sarcasm.

Besse looked at her fearlessly, even though she was alone. She spoke bluntly, "It's only been two days since the plagiarism incident happened. Do you think that I'm capable of handling everything right away? And now that you have held this press conference so eagerly, it makes me wonder if you're using my reputation to promote yourself."

"You're talking nonsense!" Phantom was getting angry and embarrassed. "I don't need your help promoting myself!"

"Then why didn't you contact me first, Miss Phantom? As someone unfamiliar with Northfield, it took some time for me to get used to things here. But instead of reaching out and trying to solve this issue privately as an actual local would do, why did you choose such an extreme way?"

"I'm just fighting for my rights!" Phantom emphasized each word.

"So then it never occurred to you that we could solve this privately?" Besse summarized the situation.

Phantom was left speechless by her words.
