Chapter 112
Chapter 112:
“What the hell’s going on p>
“Did she actually rip it off p>
“Looks that way. And the original looks better, if I’m honest p>
Someone snorted, but it got cut off when Savannah Lane stormed out of her office, heels thudding fast on the laminate.
She waved her phone in the air. “Vivian Holloway just rang me from Venice. Full-on screaming. Violet Lin, what the hell have you done p>
Violet didn’t respond. Her eyes weren’t tracking properly, and her mouth opened and closed like she was chewing words that wouldn’t come out.
Savannah flung her phone down. It bounced once on the floor, then hit the leg of a chair.
“Eliza needed this event. Her whole comeback PR thing hinged on it. And now she’s getting roasted for wearing knock-off jewelry like some two-bit influencer. Vivian says the hashtag’s already climbing. What the hell am I supposed to tell them now p>
Someone at the back muttered, “She just posted on Instagram. And X.” Every screen lit up again.
Savannah yanked a phone out of the nearest hand—her own was still lying face down on the floor—and squinted at the feed.
It was Eliza’s verified account. Caption in both English and Italian.
The post said she’d ordered the jewelry in good faith, wore it with full trust, and now felt completely blindsided if it really was a plagiarized design.
She claimed she’d been lied to by the brand. Said she was heartbroken. Then she dropped screenshots—design drafts and chat logs, proof that she’d bought the design in good faith.
Her fan base turned militant in under thirty seconds.

Violet’s phone went off like a fire alarm.
The lock screen filled up with pop-ups—DMs, tags, mentions, every single one glowing red.
She set it to silent with a flick of her thumb, but her hand was shaking.
“Vanna, I p>
“Don’t bother,” Savannah snapped. “Just tell me this: are they lying? Did you copy that set or not p>
Violet’s mouth moved, but the sound barely came out. “Let me explain p>
“Then explain!” Savannah shoved the phone in Violet’s face. “The photos are out now. Roux & Lune launched their products three years ago. Yours came out last week. Did you work for Roux before coming to Nyx p>
Violet gave a tiny shake of her head.
“Do you happen to own Roux?” Savannah held out a faint glimmer of hope.
