He Cheated I Rose: Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167: The Accusation Spreads Like Wildfire

It was obvious—this was nothing but a calculated setup.

Yet, what about those design drafts that had surfaced?

Darin held up his phone to Landon, displaying the post from Tranquil Vision’s official social media account. At first glance, the designs bore an uncanny resemblance to Chloe’s creations. In fact, Tranquil Vision’s collection was even more extensive, boasting twice as many pieces.

“Mr. Voss, was Cosmos Group aware of this situation?” a reporter pressed.

“LOVE’s debut full collection is already mired in controversy. Mr. Voss, do you have any statement regarding these allegations?” another asked, the cameras all focused intently on him.

“Isn’t Chloe the design director for LOVE? The Four Seasons collection is credited to her. Now, Mr. Gaytan from Tranquil Vision is accusing her of plagiarizing their designer’s concepts. Could the designer herself address these claims?” The barrage of questions came relentlessly.

Landon felt the weight of every gaze and microphone pointed at him. He understood that anything he said would be scrutinized and twisted to fit the narrative.

“Please, everyone, remain calm,” Landon said, his voice steady and measured. He shot a brief glance at Darin, silently signaling him to stay alert. “Cosmos Group will issue a thorough and satisfactory response.”

True to their reputation, Cosmos Group’s PR team sprang into action, expertly guiding reporters back and establishing a secure perimeter around Landon.

With a final, icy look directed at Lonny, Landon turned on his heel and walked away without uttering another word.

What had been anticipated as a triumphant launch for LOVE’s new collection had abruptly spiraled into a scandalous plagiarism accusation. Viewers who had been watching the live stream immediately flocked to Tranquil Vision’s social media pages after Lonny unveiled his so-called “evidence.”

Normally, Tranquil Vision’s following was modest, with only a few thousand followers and minimal engagement. But now, with their bold claim that their designs were “identical to Cosmos Group’s Four Seasons collection,” an overwhelming flood of people descended upon their page, liking and following in droves.

Within mere minutes, the post had amassed over a million views.

“Our designer poured her heart and soul into these pieces, sacrificing countless sleepless nights. And now, to have it all stolen like this? What am I supposed to do?” Lonny’s impassioned plea quickly climbed the trending charts.

The notion that a corporate giant’s new collection mirrored that of a relatively unknown small company ignited fierce debate online. Many began mocking Cosmos Group, accusing them of a clumsy and desperate attempt to silence a smaller competitor.

Tranquil Vision had posted their designs three days earlier—a full set of twenty-four pieces—while Cosmos Group had only revealed twelve. To observers, it looked like Cosmos had copied only half the collection, which seemed to confirm the accusations.
