Selena Kensington did not think Mason Kensington would co up with all this.
It’s a pity that Mason Kensington wished Selena remained clueless; how could he voluntarily spill the beans?
"I’ll look into this matter too."
said Hugh Kensington.
Seeing his serious expression, Selena could only nod and sigh, "Hugh has truly grown up."
"Sis, how many tis have you said that?"
Selena glared at him, "I just want to express it a few more tis, and I can’t?!"
"Alright, alright!"
Hugh didn’t want to argue with Selena, knowing it would be futile.
"I don’t know what connection Sidney Dalton and Roxanne Sutton have with you, but since you’re my sister..."
"Quinn ntioned earlier that Sidney Dalton is recently acquiring Aethel Entertainnt."
Selena was surprised by Hugh’s words.
"He wants to acquire Aethel Entertainnt?!"
Aethel Entertainnt had suffered deeply because of Warren Hale, being criticized by the dia.
This resulted in a significant fall in stock prices; hiring trolls and suppressing dia backlash, plus compensating for contract breaches, cost a lot, not to ntion Aethel Entertainnt’s financial deficit...
No wonder Sidney Dalton would seize the opportunity.
Hugh nodded, "Though Sidney Dalton won’t easily swallow up Aethel Entertainnt; while its current executives are foolish, the old shareholders still remain."
"Those old shareholders were so enraged by Warren Hale’s debacle, they rushed back to rectify things instead of retiring."
"With them in place, Sidney Dalton will need so ti to acquire Aethel Entertainnt."
Selena’s gaze beca steady, yet a competitive spirit stirred inside.
In a previous life, Sidney Dalton indeed acquired Aethel Entertainnt.
He shattered the entertainnt industry’s balance and then targeted Stardust Entertainnt.
Selena hadn’t expected such a shift so soon this ti around.
Is this the butterfly effect of her altering the past trajectory?
"If he’s capable, then let him proceed with the acquisition."
Selena didn’t mind, on the contrary, she thrived on challenges.
Backed by the Norwood Family, Selena hadn’t faced a challenge in quite so ti.
Sidney Dalton, her past life adversary, better not disappoint her...
She slowly curved her lips into a cruel and enigmatic smile.
Hugh rely wanted to remind her; seeing her so intrigued, he refrained from saying more.
Selena stayed in Hugh’s office until the afternoon when she left after Sterling Norwood called.

The next day, social dia was in an uproar due to Lynn Rhodes’ post from yesterday.
[Never seen such shalessness! Accusing your ntor of plagiarizing your work!]
[Have so guts and provide proof! Words alone prove nothing, anyone can do that!]
[Pardon my directness, but The Aura Showcase’s decades-old reputation isn’t sothing to joke about!]
[Desperate for fa, now trying to leech off The Aura Showcase...]
[Won’t Stardust Entertainnt fire this person?!]
[...I feel like they’re quite genuine...]
[...Exactly, and I’ve always trusted Director Kensington’s judgnt.]
The few who voiced support for Lynn Rhodes were swiftly countered by trolls hired by Lana Blanchett.
Gradually, voices supporting Lynn diminished.
Lana Blanchett seized the chance to speak up.
Lana Blanchett V: Never thought a student would bite back. Hereby declare: The Aura Showcase has never engaged in such acts, and I, Lana Blanchett, stand by my conscience!
[Support The Aura Showcase! Always bought their clothing!]
[Lana’s designs are fabulous! The ’Sumr Bloom’ series is my dream attire!]
[Why would such an outstanding brand be targeted by an unknown designer?!]
A slew of mindless followers comnted below, most of them being Lana’s hired trolls.
It seed she believed Lynn Rhodes was desperate, aiming for mutual destruction.
Moreover, Stardust Entertainnt had remained silent for so long; wouldn’t that imply they’re abandoning Lynn Rhodes?!
Lana confidently thought Stardust Entertainnt would never choose Lynn over The Aura Showcase.
After all, what’s the worth of an unknown designer compared to The Aura Showcase?
Selena saw Lana’s tweet, her eyes hinting at mockery.
Such audacity.
To claim she has a clear conscience!
Seeing the commotion online, Selena ssaged Hugh.
[Selie Stays Slim]: It’s ti.
Hugh replied instantly: OK!
That sa afternoon, Stardust Entertainnt’s official Twitter spoke up.
Stardust Entertainnt V: Where does The Aura Showcase and Director Blanchett’s conscience derive from? @The Aura Showcase V @Lana Blanchett V [Image][Image][Image]...
Stardust Entertainnt posted nurous pictures and designers’ self-authenticating comnts.
And the final image: a lawsuit against The Aura Showcase and Lana Blanchett.
The lawsuit claid The Aura Showcase used the ’Sumr Bloom’ designs without the original designers’ consent.
This breached the original designers’ rights.
They further displayed Lynn Rhodes’ design drafts compared to the ’Sumr Bloom’ creations.
Thanks to the PR team’s maneuvers and Hugh’s prior arrangents, many unknown designers stepped forward.
They described which of their works were plagiarized by The Aura Showcase and provided comparison images.
Considering Hugh ntioned Selena, they naturally recognized the current climate and complied, knowing Lana wouldn’t prevail against Selena.
Coupled with their resentnt, they adhered to Hugh’s requests.
The abrupt twist left the internet staggered, especially given the extensive revelations by Stardust Entertainnt; it took users over ten minutes to absorb everything.
After ten minutes, the internet exploded.
[??? Witness to a face-slapping mont?!]
[Hahahaha, I suspected this! Anything involving Selena, expect a reversal!]
[I’ve lost track of how many face-slaps this is! Selena is brilliant!]
[??? Did The Aura Showcase truly commit so many vile acts?!]
[A major brand, renowned for decades, is supposedly built on plagiarism?!]
[So disgusting! I used to praise The Aura Showcase, unknowingly buying knock-offs?!]
[Will The Aura Showcase and their noisy artistic director co and explain?!]
[Aren’t they ruining their reputation by doing this?!]
[Am I the only one speculating that they aren’t afraid because they’ve soone powerful backing them?]
[An insider revealed, Lana Blanchett is from Aethelgard’s Blanchett Family.]
Lana, who initially was smug in her office, was shocked when her panic-stricken assistant burst in.
In good spirits, she disregarded the assistant.
But she was stunned when the assistant anxiously exclaid, "Director, Stardust Entertainnt has exposed all our deeds!!!"
