Chapter 1092:
After he finished speaking, Abram shifted his gaze directly to Fabian. âYou should have access to the contacts for our senior designers,â he added. âFeel free to check with them whenever you want.â His calm confidence carried an air of authority.
Fabianâs brow knit tightly. He wasnât one to trust words â proof was all that mattered.
âGet someone to place the call,â he ordered curtly.
In no time, the line to SAMSARA studio was connected. A voice on the other end, cautious but professional, asked for the callerâs name and reason for contacting them.
When Fabian introduced himself over the call, the tone on the other end immediately shifted to one of respect.
âOh, Mr. Morgan! Happy birthday! We heard someone commissioned a custom pair of shoes from our studio as a gift for you. Have they arrived safely?â
âThey have,â Fabian replied coolly. âBut thereâs some confusion about who designed them.â He let his eyes flicker between Allison and Abram, his expression unreadable.
âAre you familiar with a designer named Allison?â
There was a pause on the line. Then came the sound of a nervous throat clearing, followed by a hesitant reply.

âCould you clarify who you mean, exactly?â
Abram, without warning, cut into the conversation. âDonât bother pretending!â he snapped, his voice sharp. âYou know perfectly well who heâs talking about â Allison Clarke! We mightâve been colleagues once, but this isnât the moment to cover for her!â
Abramâs words rang clearly through the phone, leaving no room for misinterpretation.
The person on the other end fell silent once more, the pause stretching uncomfortably. If anything happened to Abram, the studioâs reputation would also be affected.
Fabian, ever composed, broke the tension. âWhatâs the full story here?â he asked, his tone firm but measured.
The voice on the line hesitated, then spoke, clearly trying to choose their words carefully. âYes, Allison worked with us as a designer,â they admitted. âBut she was let go after being caught plagiarizing. Iâd rather not say any more. Apologies.â
Before anyone could respond, the line abruptly disconnected.
It was obvious that they were too nervous to continue the conversation.
Hearing this, Allison blinked her eyes, her lips curling into a frosty smile, her expression unreadable.
The manager on the call had once been an old acquaintance of Allisonâs. Yet, shockingly, they had distorted the facts and even gone so far as to smear her name â all for the sake of protecting the studioâs image.
Afterward, Fabian reached out to other staff members from the studio to verify the story. Strangely, their responses were all remarkably similar.
