Mrs. Gibson Your Identity Is Exposed Chapter 97
Chapter 92 Murray Is a Good Boy
Claire was stunned. She pursed her lips and said unwillingly, “Maybe … I was saw it wrong. My inistake.”
The video restored the truth of that day and also exposed Claire’s lie.
“Mistake?” Melissa sneered, “You guys can’t inake mistakes at the same time. Right? If i remember correctly, perjury is a crime. You can be sued by me, even being sentenced to jail…”
“You’re talking nonsense. I just made a small mistake.” Claire disentangled herself from the matter and looked at Murray with aggrieved, “Murray, please help me.”
“Let’s go.” Murray glanced at Claire indifferently and pulled Melissa’s hand.
Under Claire’s hateful gaze, Melissa and Murray walked out of the ward and into the elevator.
…The elevator door closed.
“Your performance today is beyond my expectation.” Murray glanced at Melissa and praised her.
“I didn’t expect you to come to the hospital, coping with Susie.”
Melissa smiled. “Do I look like a coward that anyone can bully?”
Murray met Melissa’s eyes, and then shook his head with a smile. “No.” Melissa smiled and said “Thank you.” “Thank you.” Melissa also smiled.
She truly appreciated what he had done. Melissa did not expect Murray would help her. The video Murray found played a crucial role in proving Susie’s deed. Even Anthony did not notice the video, so Murray must have made every effort to find it.
She was so touched, but… “I said I will protect you.” Murray raised his lips.
Hearing his voice, Melissa suddenly had a feeling of being baited by him. She was so eager to be with him like this forever. Wait…No….she had to break the illusion.
Melissa subconsciously moved to the side of the elevator, away from Murray.
Seeing Melissa’s behavior, Murray was internally disappointed. He couldn’t figure out why Melissa has to keep a distance from him? Melissa really didn’t have any feelings for what he had done for her?
Murray gripped his hand in his pockets with a stony expression,
The atmosphere in the elevator froze for a moment.
Just then, Melissa’s phone rang.
It was a call from Enoch.
Melissa quickly answered the call. “Grandpa, why do you suddenly call me?” Enoch laughed heartily on the other side of the line. “I saw what happened today on TV. Murray is a good boy. He knows how to protect you.”
Melissa didn’t know what to say. She was a little embarrassed. Enoch’s voice was loud. In the
narrow elevator, Murray must have heard it.
Enoch continued. “You’ve been with Murray for almost a month. Do you get along well?
When can I drink your wedding wine?”
“Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about?” Melissa’s face blushed.
“What? Nonsense? Are you kidding me?Murray is handsome, capable, and responsible. He is good enough to be your husband!” Enoch was satisfied with Murray.
“Grandpa, I’m busy. Let’s stop here!” Melissa heard Murray chuckle and quickly hung up the phone.
“Your grandfather knows how to make things work, much better than you.” Murray smiled, and his tone was a bit ambiguous.
Melissa glared at Murray. “Are you so narcissistic?”
Ignoring Murray, Melissa stared at the flashing red number of the elevator, hoping to get to the first floor as soon as possible.
Just as they walked out of the elevator, Murray’s phone rang. It was a call from Marc.
“Grandpa, what’s the matter?” Murray answered the phone.
“I haven’t seen Melissa and you for many days. When are you free to visit me?” Marc said.
Murray nodded. “When I am available…”
“I don’t want to wait! Come tonight. I’ll prepare your favorite dishes.” Without waiting for Murray to reply, Marc hung up the phone.
Murray shook his head resignedly. Marc had the same temper as him.
“What’s wrong?” Melissa asked curiously.
“Grandpa asks us to dine with him tonight,” Murray said as he turned to Melissa.
“Oh.” Melissa smiled. Both Enoch and Marc called Murray and her at the same time? She felt that the dinner was not that simple.
“I’ll pick you up after work,” Murray said expressionlessly.
Then, Murray and Melissa returned to the company separately.
As soon as Melissa stepped into the office, Katie came over excitedly.
“Meli, you were cool this morning. You successfully accused Susie, that shameless woman!” At this moment, Katie looked at Melissa with adiniration.
Melissa smiled faintly, “Not me, it is Susie wlio got herself into the trouble.”
“Meli, why are you so calm? Do you know how popular you are on the Internet now?” Katie put her phone in front of Melissa. “Look! All the trending topics on Twitter are about you.”
Melissa lowered her eyes and glanced at the screen.
Melissa saw the video of her doing CPR on Susie.
Melissa had become a beautiful and kind-hearted goddess of all the netizens.
Moreover, the relationship between Murray and her was discussed the most heatedly.
“Melissa is so beautiful, and Murray is so handsome. They are a perfect match!”
“I support Melissa and Murray!
There were also some unfriendly comments…
“I heard that Melissa came from the countryside. Bitch. She doesn’t deserve Murray!
Melissa rubbed her eyebrows. She went to the hospital today only to expose Susie’s crimes. But she did not expect Murray’s appearance, let alone that he would say that she was his fiancée in front of so
many reporters…Now the public opinion was fermenting so fast, it was not Melissa’s intention.
Thinking for a while, Melissa sent Anthony a message. “Help me withdraw all the online topics related to me.”
“What’s wrong, Ada? You are beautiful in the photos and video. Your fiancé is very handsome. Why delete? Just appreciate them!” Anthony was joking with her.
“Cut the crap. Do it right now! Give you half an hour. I don’t want to see any news about me! Understand?”
“As you command!”
In the president’s office. Murray narrowed his eyes, his deep gaze falling on the phone screen in his hand.
The photo of Murray holding Melissa’s hand was so clear. The news gained the highest click rate in history.
Murray smiled.
Murray was browsing happily, but in just a few minutes, all the hot news about Melissa had disappeared.
What was going on? Murray frowned. He deliberately made it big news to protect Melissa. Who dares to delete his news?
Furious, he called Alex, “Find out who removed my news?”
“Yes,” Alex replied respectfully.
Alex flinched. The one who ignited his boss may die…
Chapter 93 Murray Needs Nutritious Food
In less than half an hour, Melissa received a message from Anthony. “Ada, I’ve done what you
asked.”
Melissa replied with satisfaction, “You make me feel assured.” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Are you really engaged with Murray? I guess it should be true. Only a man like Mr. Gibson can control you.” Anthony couldn’t help but gossip.
“Is this what you should care about?” Melissa replied unhappily. What did he mean by controlling Melissa?
Putting down her phone, Melissa quickly browsed through the major websites. There was indeed no trace of her ‘news.
Melissa then continued to work.
The incident with Susie had delayed the filming progress of the “Ice and Fire” commercial, so Melissa had to hurry to catch up.
Melissa appointed a new date with aylin and Vivian to shoot the commercial and called Bruce to
choose a date for the press conference.
Everything was ready at the time. After the commercial was shot, the new products could be officially launched.
After a busy afternoon, Melissa almost forgot the time until Murray called her.
“Can we go now?” Murray’s voice came from the phone.
Looking at the time, Melissa realized that it was already past the time to get off work.
“Okay.” Melissa nodded. After all, they couldn’t let Marc wait for them.
Murray drove the car with his delicate hands holding the steering wheel tightly. Melissa sat in the passenger seat and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Just then, Murray’s phone rang. It was Alex.
“What’s wrong?” Murray answered the phone after putting on his wireless headphones.
“Mr. Gibson, I found it.” Alex said, “Anthony, the famous hacker, removed the hot topics.”
“Anthony?” Murray frowned.
Anthony had always been a mysterious existence.
Murravhad only heard a little about Anthony.
“Why did he remove them?” Murray asked.
“I have no idea. We can only find this much.” Alex answered honestly, “Maybe it’s to show his ability?”
“Continue to investigate.” Murray narrowed his eyes. This matter was strange.
Melissa couldn’t help but twitch her eyebrows when she heard that name. What was Murray going
to investigate?
Would Murray have discovered her relationship with Anthony?
Was Melissa going to be exposed?
Fortunately, Murray did not ask Melissa anything. He drove Melissa back to the Gibson family’s house at a fast speed.
Before they entered, Dolly welcomed them warmly.
As soon as Dolly saw Melissa, the dog surrounded her and wagged its tail wildly.
“Do you still remember me?” Melissa squatted down and stroked Dolly.
Dolly affectionately barked a few times.
“Meli, look. Even Dolly misses you.” Marc smiled as he stroked his beard. “Come back often in the
future.”
“Okay, grandpa,” Murray spoke first before Melissa could reply.
Melissa was speechless. How could Murray represent her opinion?
“Come in.” Marc walked into the living room and smiled at Melissa, carrying Dolly in his arms. “Meli, sit for a while. Dinner will be ready soon.”
Melissa nodded obediently.
“After dinner, you stay here,” Marc ordered.
In the afternoon, Marc and Enoch made a phone call. They unanimously agreed that Melissa and Murray’s relationship developed too slowly and decided that Marc would add fuel for them.
“Alright.” Murray agreed.
Melissa was speechless.
Melissa thought, Can Murray respect my opinion?
“Mr. Marc, Mr. Gibson, the meal is ready.” Jose walked over and said respectfully.
S BOTAS
“Let’s go to dinner.” Marc stood up and strode towards the dining room. Murray and Melissa
followed behind and sat down at the dining table.
There was a sumptuous dinner on the table,
Melissa looked down and found the dishes in front of Murray were somewhat special. Gumbo, fried
eggs with leek, and stewed mutton kidney… All of them were nutritious food for men.
What did Marc want to do?
Just as Melissa was thinking, Marc placed a piece of kidney in Murray’s bowl, “Murray, eat more of
this.” Eat more?
Looking at the mutton kidney in the bowl, Murray twitched his lips.
Murray thought, Do I need to eat this?
“And this, okra. It is also good.” Before Murray could say anything, Marc placed okra into Murray’s bowl.
Melissa couldn’t help but chuckle and said in a lower voice, “Don’t you have … the capacity?”
Murray’s handsome face sank. Melissa dared to question his sexual capacity!
Murray snorted and gritted his teeth. “You’ll know when you try.”
After dinner, Melissa and Murray were chased to Murray’s room by Marc.
“Well, I’ll sleep in the guest room.” Melissa rubbed her forehead and said.
Marc did not agree. “The guest rooms are all being renovated. They are not available.”
Melissa covered her forehead. Why didn’t she see any guest rooms being renovated?
“Why are you youngsters more conservative than me?” Marc almost pushed Melissa into Murray’s room. Before he left, he did not forget to lock the door.
Marc stroked his beard in satisfaction. They would be able to develop feelings in this way, wouldn’t they?
Having been inexplicably locked up in Murray’s room, Melissa was speechless. What was Marc trying to do?
Before Melissa could react, Murray suddenly leaned forward and restrained her, pinning Melissa
to the door.
Murray leaned over slightly and whispered in Melissa’s ear with a hoarse voice, “Who said I don’t have the capacity just now?”
Chapter 94 Tell Me About Lily
Murray’s mature male breath rushed over, tightly wrapping Melissa up.
Melissa was stunned. She thought for a while, then said, “It’s… your grandpa.”
“Is that so?” Murray raised his eyebrows. His deep voice was charming.
Melissa hurriedly nodded. “Yes, your grandpa asked you to eat those… Didn’t he mean you don’t have the capacity?”
“You still dare to say.” Murray’s face sank, but his deep eyes were vaguely churning with flames.
Murray didn’t know what Marc asked him to eat. At the time, Murray felt his blood surge up.
Melissa in his arms was beautiful, like a budding flower, making Murray want to pick it,
Melissa licked her dry lips. “I didn’t say…”
The casual action tempted Murray into kissing Melissa’s lips without hesitation.
Melissa’s heart suddenly jumped.
Murray’s handsome face kept zooming in front of Melissa.
Murray’s lips finally landed on Melissa’s lips which were as alluring as cherry blossoms.
When the four lips touched, a burst of hot temperature came from the lips. Melissa suddenly came back to her senses and turned her face away.
Melissa blushed and pushed Murray away, “I’m going to take a shower.”
Then, Melissa ran into the bathroom and hurriedly took a shower.
However, when Melissa came here, she did not intend to stay, Thus, Melissa did not take clean clothes with her.
Gosh!
“Murray, come here,” Melissa shouted shamelessly.
“What’s wrong?” Murray’s low voice sounded outside the bathroom.
“I don’t bring any clothes with me. Can you go to Moonlight Mansion to get them for me?” Melissa touched her burning face and summoned up the courage to speak.
“Grandpa locked the door, so how can I get it?” Murray smiled.
“Can’t you get him to open the door?” Melissa was embarrassed.
“I can’t.” Murray refused.
“I can’t.” Murray refused.
Melissa was speechless. As she was about to call Marc to open the door, Murray’s charming voice
sounded again, “Open the door.”
“What are you doing?” Melissa asked warily.
“Handing you some clothes.” Murray’s clear voice sounded.
Clothes?
Melissa hesitated a moment, wrapped herself tightly with a towel, then opened the door with a small crack
Murray stuffed a bag into her hands.
Melissa quickly closed the door, then opened the bag and took a look.
It was indeed clothes.
There was a brand-new set of female underwear and a clean white shirt.
However, the shirt was so big, and it was a man’s shirt. Was it Murray’s shirt?
Melissa furrowed her eyebrows. Murray had even prepared female clothes here. Could it be that he often brought girls home?
After quickly putting on the clothes, Melissa opened the door and walked out.
The moment Melissa walked out, Murray’s deep eyes lit up with a touch of fire. He looked straight at the girl in front of him.
Melissa’s hair was wet, and the tips of her hair were still dripping. She was wearing Murray’s white shirt, and her curvaceous figure was faintly discernible under the shirt. Her straight and long legs were indescribably sexy and charming.
Murray quietly rolled his Adam’s apple.
“Murray, where did you get the female underwear?” Melissa’s face was hot from Murray’s stare. She changed the topic. “Do you often bring girls back here?”
“Melissa, are you jealous?” Murray chuckled and asked in a low voice.
“Please answer the question directly,” Melissa said solemnly.
Murray cleared his throat. “I don’t know, either. It was put on the sofa. Maybe grandpa asked Clara to prepare them for you…”
Alricht
Get Bonnets
Melissa was speechless at Marc again. He was indeed thoughtful.
“I’m tired. I need to rest early.” Melissa looked at the big bed in the middle of the room and said,
“I’ll sleep on the bed toniglit, and you sleep on the sofa.”
“No way.” Murray refused coldly. “I’m not accustomed to sleeping on the sofa.”
“Then I’ll sleep on the sofa,” Melissa said as she walked towards the sofa.
“You’re the guest. How can you sleep on the sofa?” Murray grabbed Melissa as soon as she took a
step forward.
Melissa lost balance and fell into Murray’s arms.
Melissa hurriedly stood up and glared at Murray. “Then what should we do?”
“We will sleep on the bed together,” Murray whispered in Melissa’s ear.
The next second, before Melissa could react, Murray picked up her whole body.
“Murray, what are you doing? Let me go!” Melissa struggled. Was Murray insane?
Murray carried Melissa to the bed, leaned over, and raised his eyebrows. “I’ll prove myself by my actions.”
“Enough! If you take advantage of me again, I won’t show mercy!” Melissa wanted to get up, but her entire body was pressed down. She was angry and ashamed.
Murray only wanted to tease Melissa. Seeing her angry appearance, Murray stopped teasing her and stood up.
Melissa sat up with lingering fear and leaned against the head of the bed, glaring at Murray. “Don’t come over.”
Murray’s gaze darkened as he sat down next to Melissa. He turned his head to look at her, “Melissa,
have you ever considered grandpa’s suggestion?”
“What?” Melissa was slightly startled.
Murray’s eyes were deep. “Maybe we can have a try.”
Though Murray did not have a good first impression of Melissa and thought she was the same as other women who would use any means to coax his grandfather to agree to this marriage and marry into a wealthy family for money. But after a month of getting along, he had changed his view of Melissa
Her extraordinary working ability, and strong and independent personality, was different from the women he had seen before.
Even he was inexplicably attracted to Melissa many times. When Melissa was in trouble, Murray did not hesitate to help and protect her.
Looking at Murray’s deep eyes, Melissa took a deep breath and said calmly, “Murray, I want to ask you a question.”
“What?” Murray was stunned for a moment.
Melissa suppressed the complicated emotions and said expressionlessly, “Can you tell me about Lily?”
Lily…
Murray’s eyes darkened. Recently, he seemed to think less of Lily…
“What do you want to know?” Murray asked after a moment.
“You like Lily. Right?” Melissa hit the nail on the head.
Chapter 95 Melissa and Lily
Murray fell silent.
He opened the drawer of the bedside table, took out a cigar, and lit it with a lighter. Holding the cigar, Murray knitted his brows with a touch of melancholy. His expression was stony amid the
smoke.
“Lily… is the girl kidnapped with me when I was little,” Murray’s voice was bitter. Finishing the words, he extinguished the sparks on his fingertips.
Kidnapped? Melissa frowned. She remembered Murray has asked her several times. “Melissa, have you ever been kidnapper
“Melissa, are you sure you have never been kidnapped?”
Is Murray treating her as Lily? Or perhaps, Lily’s substitute?
Murray kept telling the tragedy, “I was the kidnappers’ target. Lily just happened to pass by, and she was innocently implicated by me. We were locked in a dark wooden house, spending a few days in the dark together.”
“What happened then?” Melissa asked.
“Later, to save me, Lily fell off the cliff,” Murray said with a sad expression.
At that time, Murray couldn’t save Lily but watch her fall into the abyss. And Murray had never found Lily, even no her… corpse.
Perhaps Lily had been dead but Murray found it hard to accept. Melissa thought. No wonder he kept Lily in his mind for years.
“Do I look like Lily?” After a moment of silence, Melissa suddenly asked.
Actually, Murray could not remember Lily’s face clearly. Only the feeling and faint fragrance that Melissa gave to him were the same as Lily. “Yes, very similar.”
Melissa’s heart sank. So all those things he did for her, blocking the knife for her, finding evidence to save her from Susie’s trap or even his request of “Maybe we can have a try?” was simply because she looked like Lily?
“Murray, I’m sorry but I have to say. I’m Melissa, I’m unique. I am not Lily, not anyone’s substitute. My future husband must love me wholeheartedly. He must only love me and not treat me as a substitute for other women.” she stopped for half a minute, then left the final word, “So, Murray, it is impossible for us to be together!”
Finishing words, Melissa picked up the blanket on the bed, walked to the sofa, and laid down.
Murray opened his mouth but could not say anything to stop her. Looking at her walking towards
the sofa without hesitation, Murray had complicated feelings. He wasn’t sure if it is because of Lily, his heart was indeed fully filled with Melissa.
Melissa laving on the sola was also frustrated. She tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The bits and
pieces of memory she spent withi Murray during this month unconsciously appeared in her mind.
She did have a crush on Murray. But he loved Lily deeply, which is so hard for her to accept…
Murray and Melissa had a sleepless night.
It was almost dawn. Melissa got up with two dark circles under her eyes, and Murray’s handsome face also revealed a trace of fatigue.
Marc was in a good mood as he opened the door for them. He saw Murray and Melissa look exhausted.
Last night … those dishes worked! He thought.
“Youngsters should control yourselves.” Marc smiled cunningly.
Melissa was speechless. What was Marc thinking?
When Melissa and Murray arrived at the company, Melissa was still thinking about Lily’s story. Murray was so disturbed by Lily for years that Melissa decided to help him.
I wass
Melissa sent a message to Anthony. “Find a person for me.”
Anthony quickly replied. “Who is it?”
Melissa quickly typed. “Ten years ago, the girl who was kidnapped with Murray. Her nickname is Lily.”
Andrew wailed, “Ten years ago … Ada, is there any other information?”
Melissa replied, “That’s all. Find her ASAP.”
Andy had no choice but to send , “alright.”
Melissa knew Anthony was a professional at searching for people. He always completed her tasks
quickly.
However, this time, Anthony didn’t reply to her until the evening when she called him.
He changed his usual playful tone and said in a rare solemn voice, “Ada, I can’t find anything.”
Melissa was startled, “Nothing? Did you try your best? I know your ability is the top in this industry…”
He interrupted her, “Sorry, Ada. I did everything I could, but … just nothing.” Anthony said, with a
hint of guilt and self-doubt. “Maybe I’m still not that proficient. Ada, you can search for her by yourself.”
“Okay. I know.”
Hanging up the phone, Melissa furrowed her eyebrows.
In this case, perhaps only she could find Lily now.
She turned the computer on, inputting complicated codes…
But what Melissa didn’t know is that the moment she finds Lily, her life will undergo a big change…
Chapter 96 Be Plagiarized
Melissa spent days and nights searching for the trace of Lily.
She did find some clues, but they seemed to be deliberately encrypted by some noble family.
In the next few days, when Melissa had to deal with her work, she had to put the searching thing
aside.
She devoted herself to work and quickly completed the shooting of “Ice and Fire”.
The press conference would be held in a few days, officially launching the “Ice and Fire” series.
Melissa was confident that she could make the “Ice and Fire” famous, thus enabling the Gibson Corporation to be the leader of the jewelry industry.
However, an accident happened just two days before the press conference.
Early in the morning, Melissa came to the company to make her final preparations for the press conference. News popping up on her phone suddenly attracted her attention.
“Love and Romance is about to launch the Love and Treasure Collection, with its biggest creativity: ‘Life Without Limits’.
Life Without Limits? Melissa clicked on the news, and it introduced.
“Love and Romance, the leading jewelry company, hiring the France chief jewelry designer Marilyn, launches ‘Life Without Limits’ jewelry. The biggest feature of this series jewelry is radiant
with different colors under different lights. You, the owner of Love and Romance, will be the focus of the audience anywhere.”
Melissa quickly browsed through the jewelry on the news. It was similar to her design, especially the significant idea of changing colors under the light, which was come up by Melissa and had already been used in the “Ice and Fire” series.
To make this series mysterious, the Gibson Corporation did not disclose the idea in advance. Melissa planned to announce it at the press conference.
But Love and Romance had plagiarized Melissa’s design and even published it before her. As a well- known jewelry company with history, Love and Romance had always held a dominant position in the jewelry industry. However, as the Gibson Corporation entered the jewelry industry, Love and Romance’s competitive advantage no longer existed.
I was s
Melissa was sure that after the Gibson Corporation launched “Ice and Fire”, they would defeat Love and Romance in one fell swoop and occupy the majority of the market. Under such circumstances, it was not surprising that Love and Romance would launch a counterattack. Unexpectedly, as an
WC
internationally renowned jewelry designer, Marilyn plagiarized Melissa’s design!
Just then, Melissa received Murray’s call. “Come to my office.”
Melissa answered, “Okay.”
After chatting with Murray at the Gibson family’s house that night, Melissa felt more relaxed when facing him again.
“Have you seen the news about Love and Romance today?” Murray leaned back in his seat, asking.
“I saw it.” Melissa nodded.
“Why would this happen?” Murray frowned.
Melissa pursed lips. “If I said Marilyn plagiarized my design, would you believe me?”
“Yes,” Murray said a single word.
Murray’s trust made Melissa feel warm.
“But the current situation is unfavorable to the Gibson Corporation.” Murray tapped the table, showing an inexplicable sense of oppression.
“I know.” Melissa rubbed her forehead, “Love and Romance has published the design on the Internet. Ours is two days later than them. At that time, everyone will think that we plagiarized Love and Romance.”
Though Love and Romance had only released a few designs and descriptions of creativity, it had impressed the publicity. At that time, everyone would only be preconceived and thought that Love and Romance were the original.
They were aimed at defeating the Gibson Corporation.
Melissa was confused about how Marilyn obtained her designs. Are there spies in the Gibson
Corporation?
Murray had the same thought as Melissa. He sneered, “I will do an investigation immediately. But I’m afraid the press conference will be postponed, in case Love and Romance accuses us of plagiarizing their designs.”
“No need,” Melissa said calmly.
Murray looked at Melissa in surprise.
“If you trust me, then hold the press conference.” Melissa smiled.
“Of course, I believe in you. The press conference is yours.” Murray replied without hesitation.
“No problem.” Melissa confidently raised her brows.
As Melissa returned to her seat, Jessie walked toward her aggressively.
– “Melissa, how dare you plagiarize?” Jessie criticized Melissa bluntly.
Melissa glanced at her, “when did you see me plagiarize?”
Jessie slammed a piece of newspaper on Melissa’s table and shouted, “Look! Your ‘Ice and Fire’ is copied from Marilyn.”
“I didn’t plagiarize.” Melissa said while looking at the Love and Romance design on the newspaper.
“Melissa, the evidence is here. Are you still quibbling? Do you know how much trouble you bring to our company?” Jessie raised her voice, wishing that everyone around her knew Melissa had plagiarized.
Jessie hated Melissa, because Melissa’s criticism of her design humiliated her in front of Murray. Melissa even designed the “Ice and Fire” to please Murray and Bruce. Now, she figured out Melissa, the outsider, was just copying Marilyn!
“Our company is not in trouble, but you are.” Seeing Jessie jabbering about her plagiarism, Melissa said sarcastically.
“What?” Jessie was stunned.
“As the design department director, you can’t even tell the original from the plagiarism. You should feel ashamed.”
“Melissa! You bitch!”
Jessie raised her hand and slapped Melissa’s face
“SSSSSSS!” other staff breathed out,
The whole office was a mess.
Chapter 96 Be Plagiarized
Chapter 97 Your Dinner
Melissa’s face turned red and swollen.
Melissa didn’t care about the slap and said, “Okay, Jessie, when you finally calm down. I”ll say it
again. I didn’t plagiarize.”
“What do you mean?” Jessie asked angrily.
Jessie thought, How dare Melissa scorn me in public?
“Just literal meaning,” Melissa replied bluntly.
“Stop confusing us! The truth is that you plagiarized.” Jessie raised her voice, wanting more people to know about it.
At first, only a few people knew of the design of “Ice and Fire”.
Now, Jessie’s words informed the whole secretarial department of it..
The other staff looked at Melissa with suspicion.
After all, Marilyn was so famous. Yet, Melissa was just an ordinary secretary.
What’s more, Melissa came from the countryside. How could she design jewelry?
The others suspected that Melissa ventured to plagiarize in order to get promoted.
“Jessie Kennet, do you have anything else to do? If not, please go back. I don’t welcome mad dogs here,” Melissa said calmly.
“What? How dare you call me a mad dog?” Jessie was enraged.
Melissa remained calm. “Did I say that? You said it yourself.”
“You!” Jessie was indignant.
Jessie breathed deeply. She aimed to expose Melissa’s plagiarism in public,
Thinking of this, Jessie snorted coldly and questioned, “How dare you be so arrogant after you
plagiarized?
“The ‘Ice and Fire’ will be released in two days. There will be a press conference then. Do you want to cause a scandal for the Gibson Corporation?”
“Jessie Kennet, you are from the design department. The press conference has nothing to do with you. You’d better use the time to improve the design ability of your department,” Melissa said sarcastically.
Jessie was upset. “You’re so shameless. Since you refuse to admit that you plagiarized, I’ll tell Mr.
Gibson that you copied Love and Romance and ask him to cancel the press conference.”
“Murray has put me in charge of the press conference,” Melissa smiled and said.
“That’s impossible.” Jessie sneered.
Jessie thought. I don’t believe that Murray didn’t see the news of Love and Romance.
As long as he saw it, he would know that Melissa’s ‘Ice and Fire’ design plagiarized other’s ideas.
I don’t believe that Murray will hold a press conference after knowing that Melissa plagiarized.
“Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth.” Melissa ignored Jessie. Melissa had a lot of things to do for the press conference in two days due to the news of Love and Romance.
Melissa didn’t want to waste time with Jessie.
“Melissa Eugen, you’re too proud. How could Mr. Gibson put you in charge of the press conference? You’re only a plagiarizer,” Jessie said in a hostile tone.
Melissa frowned. Just as she was about to speak, a familiar cold voice was heard, “I’ve put Melissa in charge of the press conference. Do you have any objections?”
Melissa looked up and saw Murray.
“What are you doing here during work time?” Murray asked coldly.
The other employees hushed and returned to their seats nervously.
“Mr. Gibson,” Once seeing Murray, Jessie greeted him, “Did you see the news? Love and Romance’s newly released design is the same as Melissa’s design, ‘Ice and Fire!”
“So what?” Murray frowned.
So what?
Jessie was stunned.
She thought, Obviously, Melissa copied others. Shouldn’t Murray fire Melissa immediately?
Jessie looked at Murray and said, “It means that Melissa’s designs copied others.”
Seeing that Murray didn’t understand, Jessie clicked on the designs posted online by Love and Romance and compared them with Melissa’s designs,
“Look at these! The jewelry newly released by Love and Romance is similar to Melissa’s ‘Ice and Fire’. The most important thing was that idea, Life Without Limits. This is enough to prove that Melissa plagiarized Marilyn.”
Murray glanced at Jessie coldly. “Why don’t you think that Marilyn copied Melissa?”
Murray glanced at Jessie coldly. “Why don’t you think that Marilyn copied Melissa?”
Jessie thought, Marilyn copied Melissa?!
How could it be?
Jessie bit her lips. “Marilyn is the top jewelry designer. She has won many international awards in recent years. How could she plagiarize a layman like Melissa?”
“Alright, it’s none of your business.” Murray pulled his tie impatiently.
Jessie didn’t want to give in.
She thought Melissa copied others. Why would Murray want to help her?
If the press conference isn’t canceled, the Gibson Corporation will become a joke in the jewelry industry.
Jessie walked out of the secretarial department and toward the design department.
Accidentally, she bumped into someone.
Jessie looked up. She bumped into Jim Corbin, the vice president of the company.
“Mr. Corbin, I’m sorry,” Jessie apologized.
“What’s wrong?” Jim frowned and asked.
Jessie informed Jim of Melissa’s plagiarism. “I don’t understand why Mr. Gibson trusts’Melissa. He insists on holding a press conference despite knowing that Melissa plagiarized. Isn’t it obvious that Melissa will cause a scandal for the company?”
Jessie paused and continued, “Mr. Corbin, you are an elder of the company. You have to be fair.”
Jim sighed. “The company now belongs to young people. It’s not up to the senior.”
After Jessie left, Melissa threw herself into the work. She must make sure that the press conference will be successful in two days. This was related to the Gibson Corporation’s reputation.
It was time to get off work.
“Let’s go home,” Murray called Melissa…
Melissa looked at the time and shook her head, “I’ll continue working. You can go first.”
“Alright.” Murray hung up the phone.
The night fell and Melissa was still working.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard. Melissa raised her eyebrows.
It was Murray.
“Didn’t you go home?” Melissa asked in surprise.

Melissa wondered, How does Murray know that I haven’t had dinner? Why did he even bring me the meal?
