Chapter 301
301:
“This ordeal dragged on for so long, and Kylee orchestrated the whole thing? She’s downright malicious!”
“And those mindless fans who attacked Linsey owe her an apology! You really went overboard, idolizing a criminal.”
Kylee’s career came to a grinding halt. Production companies and brands previously aligned with Kylee scrambled to cut ties, swiftly terminating their contracts and releasing statements to dissociate from her, while also seeking damages.
The magnitude of the scandal brought unprecedented scrutiny on law enforcement.
Cynthia and Coen, as Kylee’s collaborators, were dismissed from CR Corporation.
The company’s official account made a public apology on Twitter:
“We sincerely apologize to our designer, Linsey Riley. Protecting her was our duty, and we fell short. In the future, we commit to enhanced oversight to ensure this does not occur again…”
The most astonishing part of the apology was the signature at the bottom—it was from the legendary and reclusive founder of CR Corporation!
Everyone was shocked to their core upon discovering who had signed the apology letter.
Nobody could have guessed that Linsey’s predicament would attract the attention of CR Corporation’s elusive founder.
“Oh my God, am I seeing this right? Did someone at CR make a mistake? Did the founder really step in personally?”
“Is Linsey’s issue really that serious?”

“Apparently, you’re out of the loop. Linsey first caught the public eye as the creative mind behind actress Kylee’s celebrated dress. As her star began to rise, a senior designer named Jude Todd accused her of plagiarism. Linsey was barred from defending herself and endured relentless scrutiny from uninformed netizens for weeks. When she finally managed to collect evidence vindicating herself, it was revealed that Kylee and some of CR Corporation’s staff had orchestrated the whole charade.”
“At the very least, CR Corporation’s chief owes Linsey a hefty compensation for all this drama.”
“It seems the founder is just trying to salvage the company’s image.”
“But CR Corporation’s founder has always shied away from the limelight. Regardless of the controversy, they’ve never personally intervened before. And now, stepping forward to apologize to a newly recruited designer?”
“None of this makes any sense.”
Linsey was just as taken aback. Several netizens raised a valid point—she was merely a designer. Why would the founder go out of their way to personally apologize to her?
She shared these bewildering thoughts with Collin.
Collin, ever the supportive spouse, brushed it off. “So what? My wife is the most extraordinary person out there. It’s about time CR Corporation owned up to their mistake and apologized.”
This made Linsey chuckle. “You’re going overboard. I’m not all that special.” Yet, Collin’s expression remained earnest.
“No, I’m serious. You deserve nothing less than absolute respect.”
As he spoke, he looked at her with tender eyes, a shadow of regret passing over his face. Had he known the full extent of Linsey’s troubles, he would have intervened much sooner.
