Chapter 981


    Alice looked at the cell phone Sophia was holding; it was equipped with a transparent case that nearly


    concealed the Dragon Eye logo, but one could still vaguely tell that the cell phone was a Dragon Eye


    model.


    After all, Dragon Eye cell phones were very distinctive due to their unique design. Sophia’s cell phone


    had such a design, but it was neither the Dragon Eye 6 nor Dragon Eye 7. In fact, it looked nothing like


    any of the Dragon Eye cell phones currently on the market.


    Seeing that Alice was studying Sophia’s cell phone as if she had never seen it before, Sandra became


    certain deep down inside that the cell phone was a knock-off. This belief instantly filled her with


    confidence, and she raised her voice. “Even though Taylor didn’tnd the endorsement deal with Dragon


    Eye, you two shouldn’t be using knock-off phones. You and your husband’s knock-offs must be


    manufactured by the same factory. No wonder their quality looks so cheap!”


    Michael was known across the nation for his tant use of a knock-off cell phone. As determined by


    several experts, the cell phone Taylor had been using was indeed a knock-off; even Amazon sold cell


    phones of the same model he was using, and they were selling like hotcakes since they looked identical


    to his.


    Everyone couldn’t wrap their heads around this. Why would Taylor use a knock-off cell phone? Taylor


    could afford a Dragon Eye no matter how poor he was, so why would he use a knock-off phone


    instead?


    Nobody could figure out the reason behind it, but he used a knock-off cell phone which made headlines


    on news websites almost every day.


    Upon hearing Sandra’s voice, the crowd gathered around Sophia from near and far to see what the


    rumored knock-off cell phone looked like. As they moved closer, they noticed that Sophia was indeed


    holding a cell phone that looked like a Dragon Eye, but it didn’t look like any of the existing models.


    Moreover, the Dragon Eye logo was brazenly imprinted on it.


    As if that wasn’t bold enough, she even showed her cell phone in front of Alice, who was the developer


    of the Dragon Eye’s cell phone series!


    What on earth was Sophia doing? Wasn’t she still fighting for the right to be Dragon Eye’s agent? Wasn’t


    she asking for trouble by doing so?


    Surrounded by the crowd, Sophia held her cell phone in one hand while holding a wine ss in the other.


    Taking a sip of the wine, she held the cell phone that had attracted everyone’s attention between her


    manicured fingers with a ghost of a smile on her face.


    One couldn’t tell the expression on Alice’s face, for she looked as calm as she used to be. On the


    contrary, Sandra had gotten all worked up; she even started denouncing Sophia on Alice’s behalf as if


    she had be Alice herself.


    “Sophia, you and your husband are well-known public figures in Cethos; countless people would imitate


    your every move. By tantly using such knock-offs, do you know how badly you and your husband


    would affect Dragon Eye’s reputation and intellectual property? What is intellectual property to you? By


    doing so, both you and your husband are advocating for piracy. People like you are the sc*m of the


    Mitchell Family! Why would Miss Alice consider you as Dragon Eye’s agent in Cethos? Besides, you


    must apologize to Alice and the whole Michel Group for your use of Dragon Eye knock-offs!”


    She uttered each and every word with righteous indignation as though she viewed herself part of the


    Michel Family.


    The matter between Vincent and Lucile had almost been settled, and she was about to secure the


    agency contract with Dragon Eye; the only thing left to do was to sign the contract. Since there would be


    plenty of time for Sandra to make Linus develop feelings for her in the future, marrying into the Michel


    Family would only be a matter of time. Therefore, she had to put on a tough front right now so that Alice


    wouldn’t look down on her when she married Linus in the future.


    Lucile once said that Alice was Linus’ greatest rival—Alice was constantly burning with ambition to move


    up the powerdder and rece Linus.


    Therefore, Sandra was determined to show her attitude and craftiness that day; she wanted Alice to


    know that she wasn’t someone who could be easily bullied!


    Sophia still held her knock-off phone with one hand while swirling the wine ss in her other. The red


    wine sshed around in her ss, reflecting the faces of many who were here to look on.


    Vincent gloated at one side as the people around him were drawn to themotion over here. He had


    finally seeded in winning Alice’s heart the night before, and she finally stopped vaciting and


    keeping him in suspense. She had given the Mitchells the right to act as Dragon Eye’s agent, and


    Vincent agreed on acting as thepany’s agent together with Sandra.


    Stanley and Sean had arrived as well, and they watched the spectacle while holding their respective


    knock-off cell phones.


    Lucy of the Edwards Family had an unfathomable expression, whereas Ian looked indignantly resentful


    upon seeing Vincent. He thought to himself, Lucile will be mine sooner orter!


    The otherpetitors had alsoe over to enjoy the spectacle. As they watched Sandra and Sophia


    bickering with each other, they hoped that these twodies would make an even bigger scene. After all, it


    was good for everyone to have one lesspetitor.


    The more Sandra spoke, the more emotional she became. Seizing upon the knock-off cell phone in


    Sophia’s hand, she condemned Sophia vehemently. ording to her logic, Sophia had to slit her throat


    andmit suicide on the spot to apologize for using the knock-off cell phone.


    The more she spoke, the more she felt righteously indignant. She thought so highly of herself that she


    failed to notice the deepening furrows in Alice’s brow and the trace of impatience in Alice’s eyes.


    What background is this Sandra from? Why is she acting as if she knows me very well? Why is she so


    worked up when I haven’t even spoken yet? Whether or not Sophia is using a knock-off cell phone is


    none of her business! Besides, the cell phone Sophia is using isn’t a knock-off…


    At this moment, Alice had removed Sandra from the short list of agents.


    Sophia held her ss of wine as she took another sip. When she finally finished listening to Sandra’s


    reproaches, she put down her wine ss and looked at Ang with a graceful smile. “Speaking of


    apologizing…”

    She continued with a sly smile, “Miss Mitchell, you publicly spread rumors that my husband had an affair


    with a celebrity surnamed Mitchellst year, and you mentioned that we had divorced; my husband and I


    sued you in court because of that. From what I can remember, you seemed to have lost thewsuit, Miss


    Mitchell… The court ruled that you had to paypensation within a set time for damaging our


    reputation, and you were required to apologize to me and my husband in public.


    Then, her voice turned chilly as she suddenly demanded in an imposing manner, “Miss Mitchell, where is


    thepensation for our damaged reputation? Where is your public apology?”


    “I…”


    Sandra was embarrassed on the spot, for she had lost thewsuit back then. In fact, she lost thewsuit


    in such a humiliating manner that she didn’t give any interviews and forbade every media outlet to cover


    this story. Also, she used a lot of big news to divert the public’s attention from the news report about the


    lawsuit.


    Needless to say, she didn’t pay thepensation; she didn’t even apologize to Sophia and Michael


    either. Unwilling to ept the result, she appealed against the court’s ruling, but she lost the appeal


    once more…


    Having sessfully found the blot on Sandra’s past and fighting back, Sophia looked at the crowd that


    came over to watch the spectacle. She shouted, “There are quite a lot of people here today, so this


    should be considered a public asion. Miss Mitchell, let’s not talk about money for now. Please


    apologize to me first.”


    With that, she raised her chin and waited calmly for Sandra to apologize to her.


    Of course, Sandra would never apologize to Sophia with so many eyes watching.


    She tugged at Alice’s arm as if she hadn’t heard what Sophia said just now. She said harshly, “You are


    Dragon Eye’s developer, Alice. Doesn’t it concern you that this woman and her husband are tantly


    using Dragon Eye knock-offs in front of you?”
