Chapter 314

As soon as Tiffany got back to the office, she heard that Charis had gathered some senior executives and the staff of the human resources department for a meeting. She rushed there immediately. When she reached the door, she overheard what Charis had said just now.

“Miss Turner, I think we should investigate it further.” Tiffany pushed the door open, out of breath.

When she saw Tiffany come in, Charis smiled kindly. “Miss Fisher, you’re back! We were just talking about Janet Lind. Since you’re her direct supervisor, we’d like to hear your opinion on this plagiarism thing.” Tiffany nodded and sat down at the meeting table, her eyes flashing with determination.

“Thank you for asking, Miss Turner. I firmly believe that Janet would never plagiarize anyone else’s works.”

Charis sighed helplessly. “It doesn’t matter what we think. What matters is that the public doesn’t believe her. Now that this news has spread across the industry, the Larson Group’s reputation has been affected.”

Charis turned to the crowd and continued, “Everyone, now’s the time to share your ideas.”

Several staff from the HR Department were present. They immediately understood what Charis meant and exchanged hesitant glances.

Finally, one of them spoke up. “We need to put the interests of the company first. What Janet did has affected our image. Should we consider firing her? Plagiarizing is a big deal and it’s enough for us to dismiss her.”

Everyone nodded in agreement with him.

After all, the news had spread like wildfire online. The whole world was discussing it.

After pondering over it for a while, Charis clicked her tongue in frustration. “It seems you’re right. For the sake of the Larson Group’s reputation, we have no choice but to let Janet go. What a pity! I always thought that Janet was a very talented designer, which was why I decided to help her get her designs into the Fashion Week.”

Tiffany couldn’t help but frown. She didn’t expect that the company would fire Janet without even investigating the matter thoroughly.

She refused to give up so soon. She stood up from her seat and addressed Charis sternly. “Miss Turner, don’t you think we should investigate it first? It’s only been half a day and we don’t even know if Janet really plagiarized someone else’s work. We shouldn’t jump to conclusions so soon.”

Charis tapped a pen on the table and looked at Tiffany sympathetically. “Unfortunately, the company’s stock price plummeted because of this incident. If we don’t do anything about it now, things will only get worse.”

“Please, Miss Turner. Don’t fire her so soon. As her supervisor, I’m responsible for her. I want to investigate the matter before we do anything drastic. Please give her some time, maybe she can prove her innocence.” Tiffany was usually a calm person, but what with Charis’s enthusiasm to fire Janet, she couldn’t help but grow agitated.
