Chapter 373


    “He’s a man after all.”


    Silvia was at a loss for words. She continued to re at Neil and said, “Do you think I’m so attractive


    that everyone likes me?”


    Neil did not want her to know about Ryan’s feelings for her, so he spoke domineeringly, “You need to


    keep a distance from him no matter what.”


    “How exactly should I keep my distance? Should I go abroad? Then, I’ll call him from overseas to


    discuss the coboration?”


    Displeasure filled his eyes when he heard the ridicule in her tone. “Silvia, I’m being serious here.”

    Silvia cocked an eyebrow in dismay. “Do I look like I’m joking? If you had a business coboration with


    a woman, would you agree to cancel it if I asked you


    “That’s not the same.”

    to?”


    “Why isn’t it the same? I’d be worried that the woman might develop feelings for you too. Would you


    end the coboration because of my concerns?”


    Neil kept quiet, so Silvia continued, “I’ve made it clear that Ryan and I only have a business


    rtionship. The restaurant has surveince cameras, so what else can we do?”


    After a while, Neil finallypromised. “Make sure that youe back home before nine. Otherwise,


    I’ll go with you even when you discuss business.”


    Just as she was about to retort, she received a notification on her


    phone.


    She opened her WhatsApp, and her expression turned serious when she saw Dominic’s


    message.


    “I have some work to deal with. Let’s talkter.”


    After that, she hurried to her room.


    Dominic: There’s definitely a problem with the picture’s time stamp. It was generated by Mand’s


    latest Generative AI, so you won’t spot the problem unless you’re highly skilled.


    Silvia: Can you split the picture from the time?


    Dominic: Yes, but I’ll need until tomorrow morning at the very least.


    Silvia: Okay.


    She closed the chat window and finally felt relieved.


    If she could prove that the photo was fake, Perficient would undoubtedly lose the case.


    Time flew by, and before they knew it, the court hearing for Perficient’s case against MY Corporation


    arrived.


    Silvia had provided the image from Dominic to the Legal Affairs Department. Therefore, she stayed


    behind at thepany to continue her work.


    However, when Ada noticed her absence, she assumed that Silvia was too afraid toe. As


    M22


    such, she wore an exceedingly arrogant smile on her face.


    Once Perficient won thiswsuit, MY Corporation would no longer pose a threat.


    Silvia was destined to lose and be her stepping stone.


    Ada got out of the car confidently. Many reporters had gathered at the entrance of the court by now.


    When they saw her, they surrounded her immediately. They pointed their microphones and cameras at


    her.


    “Miss Pond, are you confident about winning thewsuit against MY Corporation?”


    “Miss Pond, there are online ims that Perficient copied MY Corporation instead, and it’s falsely


    using MY Corporation of giarism. What are your thoughts on this?”


    “Miss Pond, based on the information we’ve received, you and MY Corporation’s president are twin


    sisters. Some suggest that going to court over a few designs will only embarrass the Pond Family. Do


    you think this matter has been blown out of proportion?”


    Ada smiled politely and said, “I don’t wish to answer any questions at the moment, but I believe that


    justice will prevail!”


    After that, her bodyguard cleared a path for her, and she entered the court with a smile. Dulcie and MY


    Corporation’swyer arrived a bitter than Ada.


    When she heard Ada’s confident statement, there was a hint of mockery in her eyes. She wondered if


    Ada would remain as confident once theirwyer revealed that Perficient’s initial design draft” was fake.


    Since interviewing Ada was futile, the reporters redirected their attention to Dulcie at the back.


    However, she remained silent the entire time and walked into the court with a stern expression.


    Dulcie and Ada’s vastly different attitudes quickly spread across the Inte and sparked intense


    discussion.


    Even the upper ss in Ryoln City was following thiswsuit closely.


    After all, they had never seen twin sisters going to court like that.


    Mindy had been troubled by suspicions of Idris’s infidelitytely, so she had not been focusing on Ada


    and Silvia. She only found out about the giarism case when others discussed it during afternoon tea.


    The news angered her almost to the point of passing out.
