Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

Excitement filled the room as everyone eagerly anticipated the official start of the press conference. The audience was buzzing with enthusiasm, eager to witness the unveiling of the Ice and Fire jewelry collection.

With unwavering confidence, Jane ascended the stage, her presence commanding the attention of all. The spotlight bathed her in its glow, casting her in a regal aura.

“Good day, ladies and gentlemen! On behalf of Pansy Group, I’d like to welcome you all to the launch of the Ice and Fire jewelry!” Jane’s voice resonated clearly through the microphone.

The audience erupted into applause, the room pulsating with anticipation. However, Florence, hidden among the crowd, watched with envy rather than excitement, her eyes filled with resentment.

Florence had managed to convince her brother to bring her to the conference, motivated by a singular purpose-to confront Jane.

“Bitch, I’ll teach you a lesson tonight,” Florence muttered to herself, her anger simmering.

Once the applause subsided, Jane continued, “The Ice and Fire jewelry series is a grand creation by Pansy Group, a testament to the dedication of our team. As the name suggests, the theme for this collection is ‘ice and fire.’ You must be wondering about the significance of this theme. Not to worry, you’ll soon discover its essence. But first, let’s take a look at the promotional film.”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Jane signaled the technical staff, and the promotional film began. Maria, adorned in the new Ice and Fire jewelry series and dressed in a white gown, elegantly made her way toward Osborn. The jewelry shimmered brilliantly, casting Maria as an ethereal ice fairy under the milky-white light.

As the lighting shifted to a warmer, dimmer hue, the jewelry transformed from white to red, akin to a blazing fire. Maria transitioned from an ice fairy to a fierce queen of fire, exuding both elegance and boldness.

The audience was captivated by the stunning presentation, gasping in awe at the beautiful transformation on the screen.

However, not everyone was entirely impressed. Murmurs of discontent began to ripple through the crowd.

“Wow, it’s so beautiful! I have never seen anything like it,” someone praised.

“I don’t know,” another hesitated, “Isn’t this the same as Love Jewelry’s ‘Let Yourself Go’ jewelry series?”

The whispers grew louder as people began comparing the two.

“Oh, I can see the striking resemblance. It’s really similar to the ‘Let Yourself Go’ design. Why did Pansy Group use the same design?”

“Could it be that they copied Love Jewelry’s idea?”

“This is unbelievable! Pansy Group stealing someone else’s work is downright shameful!”

Once the promotional film concluded, a reporter stood up boldly, questioning, “While I appreciate the concept of the Ice and Fire series, I can’t help but notice that it resembles Love Jewelry’s ‘Let Yourself Go’ series. It seems that Pansy Group borrowed the idea. Can you address this?”

Jane gave the reporter a stern look, recognizing her as a young, perhaps inexperienced journalist in the midst of more seasoned reporters. It was unusual for such a young reporter to cover top-tier company press conferences.

Jane, maintaining her calm, responded, “First and foremost, I’d like to remind you to mind your language. If you continue to make baseless and malicious accusations against Pansy Group, we will not hesitate to take legal action against you and your employer.”

Undeterred, the reporter persisted, “My apologies if I’ve offended you. I merely raised the question on the minds of many reporters present. Why does the Ice and Fire series closely resemble Love Jewelry’s design? Can you explain, please?”

With a composed smile, Jane continued, “As you are aware, the ‘Let Yourself Go’ series was only launched two days ago. The samples for the Ice and Fire series were completed well in advance of that.”

The reporter challenged her, “Do you have proof that the Ice and Fire series was designed prior to ‘Let Yourself Go’?”

Jane went on, “Our promotional film was shot three days ago, and the samples were finished a week ago. Many people involved in the project, including the male model you saw in the promotional film, can attest to this.”

“Yes, I can confirm that,” Osborn declared as he stood up. He took the microphone and continued, “I was invited to model for the advertisement a week ago. At that time, Jane showed me the samples for the series. Bruce Longman was also present then.”

Osborn, a respected actor, carried significant credibility with his words. As the atmosphere shifted, the audience started to sway in favor of Pansy Group.

Jane asserted, “It’s evident that the samples were ready well before the ‘Let Yourself Go’ series, which was released only two days ago, without prior notice. How could Pansy Group have copied them in just two days?”

Bruce added, “I can also vouch that the Ice and Fire series was in development well before ‘Let Yourself Go.’ Jane shared the design for the new series with me over two weeks ago.”

Jane made a dismissive gesture and affirmed, “Pansy Group is an established company known for its originality and exceptional quality. We would never engage in theft or imitation.”

Unfazed, the reporter continued to challenge, “Do you not think you’re being overly confident? It’s widely known that Bruce Longman is a partner of Pansy Group, making his word less credible. As for Osborn Maltz, it’s reported that he has a close relationship with Patrick Pansy. Their support for your company is not surprising.”

The reporter’s insinuations stoked further doubts among the audience, and she probed, “It’s evident that both of them are favoring Pansy Group. Even a blind man can see that your company stole Love Jewelry’s design. Are you not willing to admit it?”

Jane retorted, “Watch your words.”

Unyielding, the reporter demanded, “Now that it’s established that Ice and Fire was developed before ‘Let Yourself Go,’ does that mean Love Jewelry stole your design? What action do you plan to take?”

Jane responded, “While it’s a possibility, Pansy Group will conduct an investigation before taking any action.”

At this moment, a woman’s voice, filled with anger, resonated from the doorway, “What if my design was published in a fashion magazine two months ago?”
