Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 44
Chapter 44 Fire
Soon, under Elspeth’s machinations, the new product wasunched and released for sale.
As expected by Callum, on the first day of the new product release, some people noticed the
simrities between the two products. They even discovered that Winthrop Group’stest product was
a replica of Alphascape Group’s product! As a result, they began to wonder if Winthrop Group nned
to destroy their own reputation.
The news became viral on the Inte. Everyone was discussing why this farce happened and how to
deal with it.
‘I think Winthrop Group has tanked this time. Can’t theye up with some new ideas? How can they
steal Alphascape’s design?’
‘Nonsense! Elspeth designed these pieces of jewelry. Do you think she will giarize her own work?’
‘Hey, don’t be so sure about that. There are all kinds of people in the world, and almost everyone has
giarized something in their lives. So, you don’t have to defend her like a moronic fan.’
‘Hear hear! I’m taking Alphascape’s side this time.’
Most of the views on the Inte were in favor of Alphascape Group. Except for some people who
stuck to their aspirations and fanatical worship of Elspeth, the rest used her of giarizing other
people’s works.
However, Elspeth could not be bothered at all. She even conversed happily with the members of the
Winthrop Family when she was at home that weekend.
Max was rather anxious when he saw the news. “Aren’t you worried at all? This is a big deal. Your
reputation may be tarnishedpletely.”
Elspeth took a sip of water and asked casually, “Do you think I will do something like giarize other
people’s work?”
“Of course not!” He refuted, “You won’t do such a thing. I trust you.”
“So, don’t worry about it.”
Edmund mocked, “What if you can’t turn the tide, though? What happens then will be a different story.”
“Do you have any good ideas for me? Do share.” Elspeth nced at him emotionlessly.

“It’s none of my business.” He chuckled. “I can’t help you.”
Arthur simply smiled without saying anything.
ke knew how devastating the consequences of this kind of cyberbullying were due to his years of
experience in the entertainment industry, so he was genuinely worried about her situation. “This is not
easy to settle, and it bes a bigger deal since thepany is involved. Are you sure you can
handle it?”
Elspeth gave him a reassuring look in response, yet Callum felt inexplicably uneasy as he watched the
two interact. “She’s not as stupid as you think,” Callum blurted.
She grinned from ear to ear when she heard this. Indeed, Callum, who had spent the most time with
her, knew her best.
“We’re going back to the office this afternoon.” Callum asked seriously, “Are you ready?”
Elspeth nodded and donned a triumphant smile. “Yup. Later, I’ll let Alphascape know the downfall of
stealing my work.”
The members of the Winthrop Family were taken aback, not knowing what tricks they had up their
sleeves.
Finally, at 3.00PM, they arrived at the new productunch as promised. This incident caused a great
sensation on the Inte. Hence, many reporters at the press conference aimed their cameras at
Elspeth, hoping they could capture something sensational and be the first to publish the breaking
news.
“Hello,dies and gentlemen. I am Elspeth. I’m d to meet with all of you again and introduce our new
product, ‘Wonderlust Pearl’.”
As soon as she finished her introduction, the entertainment reporter asked eagerly, “Miss Lynwood,
there are rumors on the Inte saying that Winthrop’s new release ‘Wonderlust Pearl’ and
Alphascape’stest product ‘Pearl of the Sea’ are the same product. Do you admit that you giarized
it?”
giarized? Elspeth raised her eyebrow slightly and donned a professional smile as she looked at the
reporter’s face. “Of course not, because this is my design.”
“Your design? ording to the timeline, Alphascape made the product announcement first, and then
you announced theunchter.”
“Well, ording to the timeline, it is indeed Alphascape who released the product first.” Elspeth tapped
her chin and smiled faintly. “But just because theyunched the product first doesn’t mean that they are
the creator. I can provide some evidence to prove that I am indeed the creator.”
With that, she opened herptop and cast the screen on therge screen behind her.
“As you can see, I have already started working on this design in September, which was three months
ago.”
There was a specific timestamp on the blueprint draft, and it verified her remarks.
Next, the image changed, and it was her chat record with someone. “This was a conversation I had
with my mentor in October, where she told me what I could do to make this blueprint more precise.”
The dialogue between the two people evolved heavily around the work, and this kind of detailed
understanding of the product could not be faked.
“Finally, I would like to utilize the public resources to say something to Mr. Houston Bishop, who is now
working at Alphascape Group.” Elspeth cleared her throat and enunciated, “Mr. Bishop, do you like my
presentation?”
This press conference was a live webcast. After she said those remarks, there was an uproar on the
Inte.
‘Houston Bishop? He used to work in the Winthrop Group, didn’t he?’
‘Yeah, I know him! He’s working at Alphascape now!’
‘I’m Winthrop Group’s internal employee! Let me tell you, Houston tried to rope people into his team,
embezzled thepany’s money, and even tried to usurp the position of the president. He was fired!’
‘Wow, this is so bizarre!’
Elspethughed out loud as she looked at the shocked expressions of everyone present. “Look at
them! Don’t they look like a bunch of ignorant fence-sitters?” She leaned in and whispered to Callum.
“Yes.” He knew that she would be able to settle the situation smoothly, but he didn’t expect her to be so
meticulous and perfect.
“Wow! This is the first time you’ve answered a question like this. You usually would have called it
boring.” She was genuinely astonished by his response but still satisfied with the current situation.
He didn’t even bother to deign her with her look as he turned around and left. She shrugged and didn’t
mind his response, or theck thereof. After all, he was an indifferent and emotionless man. He would
do something heartfelt and affectionate when pigs could fly.
On the other hand, Alphascape Group waspletely defeated this time, and they could no longer
dominate the jewelry market from now on.
The dust settled. In the next few days, she felt that her life was tranquil and calm, and it was so quiet
that it was abnormal.
Houston was a vengeful person. After he suffered such a devastating blow this time, he would definitely
devise a more vicious n. However, it had been a week, and he had been unusually quiet.
Elspeth was puzzled but did not let her guard down.
This afternoon, she came to the office to deliver documents to Callum. As soon as she left the office,
the fire lights on the ceiling shed, and then a huge siren reverberated in the building.
