Chapter 433:

Madisyn was in her office at Edge Entertainment. She was on the phone with the current general manager of Natural Beauty. “Johns, just like you said, someone started to stir up trouble. Such a fuss is affecting the sales of Natural Beauty,” she responded with a hum and clicked the link to the news article exposing the scent of Natural Beauty as being plagiarized from abroad.

“The scent of Natural Beauty has been plagiarized from abroad. This is how you disgrace the reputation of our local products,” a netizen told our reporter. “She had bought a perfume abroad and then received the Natural Beauty set. When she smelled it, she found that it was almost identical to the perfume. But the netizen did not jump to conclusions. Instead, she asked some professionals to conduct tests, and the results confirmed her suspicions. The perfume was released a few days earlier than the skincare products, which means Natural Beauty’s skincare scent was plagiarized. This is really a disgrace to our domestic products. We hope Natural Beauty will come out and give an explanation.”

The Riggs Group was never mentioned in the news. Obviously, they couldn’t afford to offend the company. However, the netizens revealed the perfumer behind the scent. It turned out to be Susan, Jada’s sister.

“Can you give us an explanation? We are waiting. I just bought Natural Beauty’s new products. Is this what I get in return?”

“Plagiarism is always disgusting. It’s such a disgrace to our domestic brands. It should never be tolerated. Someone worked so hard to create something, and you just plagiarized it so easily? Did you think you wouldn’t be discovered because you plagiarized it from abroad?”

“Natural Beauty, you’ve really gone too far this time. I was bragging about you to everyone yesterday. I didn’t expect you to let me down today. I hope you come out and explain everything.”

“Natural Beauty collaborated with Susan from the Riggs Group, so let’s not let her off the hook. Susan is Jada’s sister but has no expertise in this field. She used to sell skincare products. But suddenly, she joined the company and became a perfumer. Ridiculous, right?”

“What? The scent came from someone like that? No wonder it was plagiarized! Susan must not want to lose to Jada. But after all, Jada studied abroad. She is a legitimate perfumer. Who does Susan think she is?”

The netizens were furious and demanded an explanation from Natural Beauty. Even the Riggs Group felt the backlash. So, everyone in the company hoped Susan would come out and explain. Of course, most people were convinced the company had colluded with Susan to plagiarize the perfume, so they directly scolded the company.

“Miss Johns, what should we do now? Many people are asking for refunds. They are all scolding us!” The general manager had never experienced such a massive uproar, so she was panicking.

“Don’t worry. Tell the customer service team to relax. They don’t need to panic. Rest assured, this will be resolved before tonight,” Madisyn said reassuringly.

Suddenly, the general manager’s anxiety was replaced by curiosity. How could Madisyn be so calm about such a huge issue and say it would be resolved by tonight? For some reason, Madisyn’s words always had a reassuring effect.

“Alright, I will talk to the customer service team.” After Madisyn hung up, her phone rang again. It was a call from Andrew, who immediately asked, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. This is all part of the plan.”

Andrew chuckled softly. “Did you conspire with Jada again? If she finds out you set her up so badly this time, she will be furious.”

“Oh yeah? You seem to know her quite well. I thought Jada had a gentle personality,” Madisyn said teasingly.

Andrew sighed helplessly. “You naughty girl! You are teasing me again.”

Jada’s facade had fooled many people. But Andrew was not easy to deceive. Otherwise, the other members of the Klein family would have gotten rid of him by now.

“The Riggs Group should be very lively now. I’ve got a few things to do myself,” Madisyn said.

As she had expected, Susan’s sudden scandal had shaken the entire company. After all, the Riggs Group had never been accused of plagiarism. The company always maintained its reputation. This was their first time experiencing scorn from the netizens.

Many people were so outraged that they demanded Susan should be punished. Even her colleagues in their department suffered the same misfortunes. Since Susan plagiarized, people would naturally suspect that they were all plagiarizing, causing their projects to grind to a halt.

Esteban called for an internal meeting. During the meeting, many people from the company expressed their dissatisfaction with Susan.

“Mr. Riggs, my partners and I have been cooperating well. But suddenly, they stopped communicating with me. Isn’t this all because of Susan’s plagiarism? Our company has lived up to its reputation since its establishment. After so many years, this is our first time being accused of plagiarism. It’s really damaging our image.”

“Mr. Riggs, if Susan stays in the company, we won’t survive in this industry. People won’t stop attacking us.”

“Mr. Riggs, I hope Susan can be punished appropriately.” Everyone shared their sentiments openly.

Jada glanced at Susan and sighed. “Everyone, let’s calm down. I’m sure Susan didn’t do it on purpose. We’re a big family. Since something happened, let’s discuss how to resolve it together.”

However, her words only angered everyone even more. “She didn’t do it on purpose? Is plagiarism not intentional? So, what does intentional mean?”

“It’s such a shame that we have become an international laughingstock.”

Since everyone was affected by Susan’s plagiarism, they almost couldn’t contain their anger. Jada could only look at them helplessly. It looked like she wanted to help Susan but was powerless. In the end, she could only turn to Esteban.
