Chapter 49
Charlotte and Susan had a good chat.
Susan’s boss did not even know Susan knew Georgia yet, so no one dared to take the news.
Susan was particularly concerned about Georgia. Since Susan knew Charlotte, she would pay more attention to Charlotte.
If they communicated well in advance, their parts would connect better in the
news.
“Well, isn’t this Ms. Smith from Worldwide?” A discordant voice interrupted Susan and Charlotte’s relaxed and pleasant conversation.
When Charlotte and Susan heard the voice, their faces turned grim.
Holding many paper bags of luxury brands, Annie stepped forward. She had obviously just gone shopping. Without waiting for their invitation, she sat down.
Susan said, “There’s an empty table over there!”
She was implying that she did not want to share a table with Annie.
Charlotte picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip. Every move was elegant.
Annie’s eyes under the sunglasses burned with jealousy as she looked at Charlotte.
She took off her sunglasses and looked at Susan disdainfully.
Annie asked, “You’ve worked hard for the position of editor–in–chief over the years, haven’t you? Is Westrope Competition related to your editor–in–chief’s title?”
“What does it have to do with you?” Susan retorted indignantly.
Annie sneered, “Don’t blame me for not reminding you. She’s not even qualified to participate in the competition yet. It’s no use following her closely. She can’t help you.”
Susan was silent.
Hearing this, her expression changed.
She looked at Charlotte worriedly.

She wondered what happened as Charlotte did not say anything.
Charlotte asked, “How dare Ms. Lopez show off after doing something bad? Aren’t you too confident?”
“It seems she hasn’t told you yet, Susan. But it’s not too late. If you come with me, I can consider giving you the main reporter position.”
Just as Annie finished, Susan picked up the coffee in front of her and splashed it all over Annie.
The air instantly became cold.
Charlotte froze at this. She did not expect Susan to be so hot–tempered.
“You… Susan Smith!” Annie did not expect Susan to do that suddenly. She stood up angrily, picked up the coffee in front of her, and splashed it back.
However, Susan dodged, and the coffee was all spilled on the ground.
Annie was so furious that she breathed heavily.
Susan clapped her hands and said disdainfully, “Annie, don’t make me sick. You’re an unpresentable homewrecker. Even if I go ten years without a promotion, I won’t follow you around and report you. Who do you think you are?”
After saying that, she grabbed the dumbfounded Charlotte and stood up. “Charlotte, let’s go.”
Charlotte let Susan drag her away in a daze.
She had to admit that Susan was hot–tempered.
After they got out, Charlotte said, “Susan, what she said is true. I still don’t know whether I can participate in the competition this time!” Charlotte was confident, but she was not sure.
She would eventually solve the matter, but time was very tight now.
Susan asked, “Did she do it?”
She let go of Charlotte’s hand and asked indignantly.
Charlotte replied, “Enough!”
Susan answered, “She liked to steal your works before graduation, but you didn’t care at that time. See? I was right. She has a habit of stealing now.”

Charlotte said, “Yes, I’ll take care of it. But you have to make plans in advance”
Susan said, “I don’t have any plans. I told my boss that I would only follow you around. If you don’t participate, I won’t go to Westrope.”
Charlotte was shocked to hear that.
When she heard Susan’s answer, she was more determined to participate in the competition.
Charlotte took a deep breath and said, “Pack your bags, and go to Westrope with
- me.
“Do you have a way to do it?” Susan asked.
“Even if I don’t participate in the competition, I’ll make sure you’ll follow an influential designer and not affect you,” Charlotte answered.
“Charlotte, you’re the best.” Susan’s mood instantly improved.
However, she would not spare Annie.
As expected, the hot–tempered Susan went back and wrote an article without naming who and made the netizens label Annie.
The title was: [A homewrecker secretly suppresses the ex–wife’s career and steals a competition spot!]
As soon as the news came out, it immediately went viral online.
Everyone could identify the homewrecker and the ex–wife with a career. Even though Susan did not name the parties involved, the netizens connected it to Annie and Charlotte.
Public opinion about Annie, which she had worked hard to suppress, was brought. up again.
Everyone online scolded Annie.
In the office of Supreme International Group, Annie sobbed and looked aggrieved.
Zachary said, “Go back and get ready. I’ll take care of this.”
Annie replied, “Zach, I-
“Mr. Sullivan, we have a problem!” Before Annie could finish speaking, Leo came in again with a solemn face and spoke in an urgent tone.

It was obvious that
When Annie heard Zachary’s most senior personal assistant say so, raced.
“Speak!” Zachary’s tone was icy.
Leo looked at Zachary and then Annie, whose eyes had reddened and swelled from crying on the couch.
Then, Leo added, “Aside from the news being released again as soon as we suppressed it, now…”
‘Now what?‘ Zachary wondered.
Zachary’s eyes darkened as Leo said, “Georgia’s exhibition work is suspected of plagiarism. Merged with the previous article, it’s rumored that it’s a malicious. attempt to grab a spot in the competition. The internet is now in an uproar!”
It was merged with the previous article, where a homewrecker was trying to suppress the ex–wife.
Now that Georgia’s work was exposed to be plagiarized, the two articles were combined.
Everything was pointing at Annie.
Annie’s phone rang. It was a call from Gloria, and Annie answered it. “Gloria.”
Gloria said, “The studio is now surrounded. Don’t come back! I also want to know if Georgia’s participation has anything to do with you.”
“No!” Annie replied.
“Really?” Gloria asked.
“Really!” Annie subconsciously looked in Zachary’s direction as she spoke.
Undoubtedly, she could not admit to Zachary that she had done something to Charlotte no matter what happened between Zachary and Charlotte.
She did not expect it to backfire.
Gloria on the other end of the line was about to explode with anger.
She only said, “Have you met Mrs. Charlotte Sullivan today?”

“Yes,” Annie replied.
Gloria asked, “Did you have a conflict?”
Annie looked at Zachary again, feeling even more panicked. However, she tried hard to hide it.
Then, she said firmly, “I didn’t start it.”
She felt a little guilty when she said that.
However, she had no choice but to deny it.
