She felt a bit nervous. Having completed such a significant task the previous night, she thought Marlene might be calling her over to express appreciation. She wondered if Marlene would consider giving her a promotion and a raise.

"Samira!" However, as soon as Samira entered the office, Marlene's face darkened, and her eyes turned red. "You idiot! How did you do your job?"

Stunned, Samira asked in confusion. "Miss Phillips, what's wrong?"

“Listen to it yourself." Marlene played the recording.

As the recording was played, the color drained from Samira's face.

She couldn't believe Ewing recorded her conversation with him.

It turned out that Ewing deliberately lured Samira to say those words last night.

"I... I don't know..." Samira's voice trembled.

"You're going to ruin the Dillon Group. Now, everyone knows that the copyright probably belongs to Ewing, not you. Tell me! Do you own the copyright or not?" Marlene stared at Samira intensely.

Now that things had come to this point, it was impossible for Samira to deny it. She insisted, “It's mine.”

She had the design notarized, so she owned the copyright.

"We will explain with your official work account. Stay low during this time. Don't get into any trouble again!" Marlene reproached.

After Samira left, Marlene immediately went to find Lance.

“Huh, it's just a recording. Is Ewing really trying to make a comeback with the help of the Phillips Group? Dream on." Lance sneered, his gaze sharp and cold.

Lance's father had a way to get rid of Ewing back then. Now, Lance would also have his ways to tarnish his reputation.

"I was right. Miss Phillips has a keen eye. She wouldn't hire someone who plagiarized," someone said.

The atmosphere in the conference room of the Philips Group had changed drastically from just a moment ago. With this recording, it was obvious who designed the building.

Clint gripped his phone tightly, every word on the recording feeling like a slap to his face. He had been mocking Lilah earlier, unaware that she had already resolved the crisis.

Lilah said, "We're a team. It's normal for a crisis to happen, but the crucial part is how we handle it and not just talk about it without taking any action."

After hearing Lilah's words, everyone in the meeting room regarded Clint with contempt. He seemed only capable of complaints, never action. Each time, it was Lilah who stepped in to solve the problems.

Clint felt humiliated and overshadowed as he faced the disdain of those around him.

After wrapping up the meeting, Lilah retreated to her office, where she soon received a call from Gerard.

"Hello, babe," Gerard greeted her, his voice deep and charming.

“What's going on?" Lilah asked.
