The Heir's Secret Bride novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159
When Maeve reached the 21st floor, she saw Leah walking out of the office with a solemn expression and her iPad in her hand.
Upon seeing Maeve and Alex, Leah immediately walked forward. “Maeve, I was looking for you. Mr. Brown, it’s good that you’re here too.”
“What’s going on?” Alex asked.
“Finesse Bloom updated a blog post on the official website today and showed the gown designs of Princess Elvira of Erancia,” Leah briefed. “It’s exactly the same as Maeve’s.”
Maeve’s eyes widened in shock. “How is this possible?”
Alex took the iPad from Leah. After he finished reading the contents, his frown deepened.
It wasn’t just the same.
The design plan posted on the official website was Maeve’s. Only some details had been changed.
Not only that, Finesse Bloom even issued a challenge to Eternal Hope on the official website.
They said that they wanted to use the Erancia’s banquet to compete with Eternal Hope’s designers.
One was the benchmark of the fashion industry, and the other was a new talent in the fashion industry. There were countless people watching the battle between the two companies.
Maeve recognized that the gown designs on Finesse Bloom’s official website were the ones that she had lost last night. She suddenly realized that those racers were sent by Karen.
But she couldn’t figure out how Karen knew that she had the design with her.
“Mr. Brown, Ms. Mason, this is my mistake. Last night, I brought the gown designs back and wanted to make some modifications. I didn’t expect the bag to be s***ed and obtained by Finesse Bloom,” Maeve explained apologetically.
Leah frowned. “No wonder. I was wondering how Finesse Bloom got these designs when we did such a good job of keeping it
a secret.”
There were three gown designs.
“How far has your gown production progressed?” Alex pondered for a while and suggested to Maeve, “If you can come up with a better idea, you might be able to convince Miss Fiora to agree to change the design. It’s not too late now.”
Maeve shook her head. “The first gown is almost done. Some gems have been embedded and sewn on it. If they’re removed, the gown will definitely be damaged. Besides, I don’t want to give the designs to them just like that.”
She would never make way for a group of thieves, who used the design she had painstakingly drawn to challenge Eternal Hope.
Maeve had finally seen how shameless Finesse Bloom was.

Leah disagreed
“You have to know that your designs have never been announced. Other than us, no one can prove Finesse Bloom stole your design. Even if there is a time record on the designs, it can’t be considered solid evidence. If you insist on continuing to use the original designs, why don’t you think about what will happen to you after Fiora and Elvira wear the same dress at the state banquet? Your future will be ruined.”
Designers valued reputation the most.

If Maeve’s reputation was ruined, no matter how outstanding her design skills were, she would be despised by the fashion industry. No one would pay for her designs anymore.
Not to mention that Maeve might offend two royal nobles at once.
As long as she was not s*****id, she should stop her losses now instead of benefiting her enemies in a fit of anger.
Maeve understood Leah’s concerns, but she still said, “Ms. Mason, it’s their business that Finesse Bloom is used to taking shortcuts. However, if we turn a deaf ear to such incidents every time, it’s no different from telling them that we’re pushovers.”
She believed that retreating would only help the enemy’s arrogance.
“Finesse Bloom has already taken your designs and claimed that they’re theirs. If you don’t avoid them, are you going to fight them head-on?” Leah asked.
“Yes. I can’t take this lying down.” Maeve’s tone was firm.
Leah felt helpless. “You’re really reckless! I’ve already analyzed it so clearly with you. You…”
“Just do as you think,” Alex interrupted her gently. He stared at Maeve. “I’ll bear the consequences.”
Leah said, “Mr. Brown, she’s being s***d. How can you do this with her?”
“I believe Maeve has her considerations.” Alex’s attitude did not change. “Finesse Bloom has already challenged us like this. There’s no reason for us to take it down lying.”
Leah was furious. “Alright, I won’t interfere in this matter anymore. It’s up to you!”
With that, she left angrily in her high heels.
Maeve felt greatly troubled. She turned to Alex and said, “Mr. Brown, thank you for trusting me. I’ll go to the studio first.”
Alex nodded. “Don’t be too burdened. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.”
“I know that.” Maeve forced a smile.
Karen quickly got the news about the three of them arguing at the office door.
Her room was a mess of debris and crumpled paper.
After staying in that dark and terrifying basement for three days and three nights, Karen had become quite neurotic and would smash things to vent.
Upon hearing this news, Karen finally smiled. The bridge of her nose, which had yet to fully recover, was slightly twisted.
She said, “This b***h caused me so much trouble just because she has Byron’s support. Mom, I have to do everything to ruin her reputation this time.”
Apologize?
She wondered, ‘He wants me to admit my mistake? No, I’ll never admit my mistake. I have to take a hard revenge for the pain I’ve suffered these days before I stop.
Lydia’s face darkened. “I underestimated how much she matters to Byron and acted rashly. This kind of company battle is normal. He probably won’t interfere.”
“I know that.” Karen’s eyes lit up. “That’s why I want to destroy Maeve. When she offends the Erancian royal family and becomes notorious, I don’t believe the Mcdaniel family will still let her in.”

Lydia was a little worried. “Are you sure that Horace won’t talk nonsense after receiving the money? He’s Maeve’s younger
brother.”
“I don’t trust him,” Karen said disdainfully. “When this matter is over, I’ll send him to the police station. If I didn’t have something on him, I wouldn’t have dared to ask him for help.”
She had only planned to ask Horace to make things difficult for Maeve.
Karen did not expect to get the designs, which was a huge surprise for her.
She thought, ‘Maeve has such a nice brother’
After Finesse Bloom issued the challenge, Maeve spent almost every day in the studio.
Because of the previous argument, Leah was still angry.
Even the other departments had heard that the two of them were at loggerheads now.
There were even rumors that Maeve thought that because she had Alex’s favor, she did not take Ms. Mason seriously.
The two were arguing, which was something that Finesse Bloom loved to see.
They hoped that Maeve would make things worse and embarrass herself internationally.
In the increasingly anxious atmosphere in Eternal Hope, the agreed delivery date arrived.
Fiora sent some bodyguards over to retrieve the gowns.
The three gowns were placed in three black boxes. After one of the bodyguards checked them against the designs, he said to Maeve in a businesslike manner, “Miss Fiora hates it when the goods are incorrect. If such a situation happens, we will execute the right to refuse to pay the fees and hold you accountable.”
