Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 1491 [Eleven Jewell]

As the wind scattered the papers across the place, Stella and Felicity quickly joined in to retrieve them. After a thorough chase, they finally managed to collect all the blueprints.

While Stella was gathering the papers, she was surprised to find that they were sketches for jewelry designs. She flipped through a couple of pages, glanced at the signature, and paused.

Just then, the girl whose papers had been scattered about caught up with them. She abruptly snatched the papers from Stella’s hand, and her face was tense. “Don’t go snooping through other people’s things.”

Felicity frowned. “You seriously lack manners. We were helping you with picking them up.”

The girl replied coldly, “None of this would have happened if she hadn’t run into me.”

’You-“

Stella held Felicity back and politely apologized to the girl. “I’m sorry. I was on the phone, and I didn’t watch where I was going. Please check if any of the papers are missing.”

The girl seemed to appreciate Stella’s decent attitude, and she replied calmly, “It’s alright.”

With that, she walked away with her belongings.

Felicity stood with her hands on her hips. “Did you see how she reacted? It’s not like we bumped into her on purpose.”

‘Those were design blueprints. It’s understandable for her to be anxious,” Stella murmured.

Felicity pursed her lips and said, “We aren’t even proficient in the field. Yet, she acted like we were going to steal her design.”

Stella laughed and said, “Well, considering how she had been stabbed in the back before, I get why she would keep her guard up.”

Felicity was confused. “Do you know her?” she asked.

Stella shook her head. ’No, but I saw the name ‘Maggie Hart’ on the blueprint, and I know about her.”

Felicity became curious. “What’s her story?”

So, Stella proceeded to tell her. Stella had a fondness for jewelry, and she paid quite a bit of attention to the industry.

A couple of years ago, a prominent jewelry company had its new collection launch overshadowed by a public accusation from their own jewelry designer, Maggie Hart. She went online with her real name, claiming that the pieces the company was releasing were her designs. Yet, they were credited to another supposed design expert.

This incident had caused quite a stir in the design community. Plagiarism was a significant issue, and the accused designer was a well-known figure in the industry.

After the matter came to light, the company initially denied the allegations. However, in the face of public scrutiny, they could not produce the design drafts.

They then stated that their contract with Maggie allowed them to do whatever they pleased with the pieces she created during her tenure with the company. They further pointed out that Maggie had taken private commissions and repeatedly left work without reason during her contract period. So, they terminated her employment.

They defended the designer who plagiarized her work and pushed Maggie, a relatively unknown designer, to the lions.

Stella was following the incident out of sheer curiosity at that time, and she witnessed the entire process.

It was blatant copying and pasting. The company did not even bother to make any modifications. Instead, they put someone else’s name on the design and mass-produced the pieces for sale.

Stella despised plagiarism to the utmost, especially after learning how the company handled the incident. After that, she blacklisted the brand and never purchased anything from them again.

During that time, Maggie had showcased many of her original drafts online to prove that the pieces were indeed her creations. That was why Stella recognized her when she saw the handwriting style of her name on the sketches she had just picked up.
