Billionaire’s Great Obsession

A week later, the rings, earrings, and necklaces designed by Brianna and made by the world’s top jewelers were displayed at the press conference. Jewelry suppliers, lovers, and designers all gathered to be part of this influential event.

However, it wasn’t a smooth event as expected.

Rare Gem, a nationally renowned jewel company, had also presented the exact same rings of the same themes as the Anderson Corporations at the same time.

Instantly it was on the news all over the country and internationally. People talked and laughed.

Ever since the Anderson Corporation was established, especially in the past years when Scott took over, there had never been any mistakes or trouble. And today, the Anderson Corporation was to make a joke of itself.

Everyone stared at Scott and Brianna, waiting for their response.

Levi whispered nervously, “Mrs. Brianna Anderson, you’ve ruined the reputation of our company.”

The company had been preparing carefully to get into the jewelry market. It was ready. The press conference was live-streamed internationally as Scott had planned to make it a real hit.

However, it seemed to turn out to be a completely different kind of hit. It would not only ruin the jewelry market plan but also affect the company in general.

Frightened, Brianna took a glance at Scott, only to see that he was calm as usual despite the anger in his eyes. He glanced around the crowd and said clearly, “I’m not surprised at all. We have come prepared. Intentionally, we published our first draft of the design online a few days ago to see if anyone dares to copy. We hoped for the best, but we have prepared for the worst. And unfortunately, the worst has happened. Now let’s see who’s the fake and who’s the real.”

The audience gasped, and another round of murmuring excitement started again.

“How are you going to prove who’s the copycat, Mr. Scott Anderson?” A journalist asked.

Scott looked at Brianna and said confidently, “Surely, the best person to prove it is our designer, Brianna.”

Startled, Brianna stared at Scott. Multiple thoughts went through her head. How am I going to prove it? What should I say?

For a few seconds, Brianna froze and couldn’t figure out a solution. Scott tapped on his wrist with his long slim forefinger while looking at Brianna confidently. Brianna understood straight away.

She whispered to Levi and instructed him to bring the laptop and get the screen ready. With everyone watching, Brianna sketched out the designs of the bracelet, headpiece, and earrings that went with the rings, however, she only drew out half of the picture. Then, she looked at the designers of Rare Gem and said with a confident smile, “I wonder if you can finish the other half of the drawings of the designs.”

Macy Andrews, the chief designer of Rare Gem, stepped forward and replied confidently, “Sure.” Within half an hour, she completed the drawings, it matched Brianna’s perfectly.

Brianna smiled and said calmly, “It looks perfect, yet the point is we do not intend to have it perfectly matched. They are not supposed to be symmetrical but follow the same theory as Yin and Yang, as well as the symbol of infinity. It’s supposed to present the idea that two lovers are always connected with each other and supported by each other while growing together.” It was beautifully said, poetic and logical at the same time.

The crowd applauded.

Macy was shocked and impressed. She knew she had already lost the debate, however, she remained calm and said, “Will you please show us your complete design then?”

Without hesitation, Brianna finished the drawings within ten minutes. It was obvious that she knew her design well as it was hers. It presented her idea perfectly.

Everyone could now tell who was the original.

Macy looked awkward and defeated. “It looks like we happen to share very similar, if not the same, ideas, but I have to say I’m impressed by your witty response and the ability to create new designs spontaneously.”

Brianna understood her sarcasm, but she simply responded with a silent smile as the applause from the crowd had said it all.

Brianna had succeeded in turning the situation around completely. Many suppliers, businessmen, and jewelry lovers were impressed and were happy to cooperate with the Anderson Corporation and order some unique and custom-made designs.

Jameson, who had been watching quietly, feeling amused at first, gazed at Brianna for a while as he realized that he had underestimated her. She looks like Sol, but she hasn’t just got the look. She’s a brilliant cook, and she’s actually a fantastic designer. Now she has a better chance to have Scott fall for her. Whether she agrees to work for me or not, as long as Scott falls for her, then I can use her to defeat him.

While Jameson was watching Brianna, Scott had been watching him. He sneered at Jameson, then threw a quick glare at Brianna and turned to leave.

Worried, Brianna quickly followed Scott back to his office. Scott sat down in his seat and suddenly picked up a file on the desk and threw it at Brianna. It happened so suddenly that Brianna didn’t have the time to dodge, and it hit her on her shoulder. “Ouch.” She exclaimed out of pain.

“I trusted you. You told me it was your own idea! Why did you copy others?! Liar!” Scott snapped angrily.

“I did not copy it!” Brianna retorted.

“How come Rare Gem has the exact same rings then? Huh? Or you are so stupid that you shared your design with them?!”

“I did not. You saw it. They didn’t know the complete drawings. You saw me drawing just then!”

“Then, how did they get the draft? Or half of it?”

“I…” Brianna was almost in tears. “I don’t know.” She muttered helplessly.

“If you can’t give me an answer, then you are fired. Don’t ever think of getting another job. Just stay at home and serve me.”

Angered and frustrated, Brianna turned around and left. She wandered about in the streets, watching the cars and people pass by while trying to recall everyone that she had encountered in the past few days.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
