CHAPTER 203: ZACHARY PROTECTS HIS WIFE DECISIVELY

The next day.

Yvonne went to Shining early in the morning for a high-level meeting.

This time, instead of asking Zachary to go with him, she decided to rely entirely on herself.

At the meeting, she briefly introduced herself and then figured out who the executives were as well as their job titles. She also explained her intentions to all of them.

"Now that Fragrance has copied our idea, our first priority is to design a brand new distinctive makeup product to ensure this new launch won’t become a joke."

Yvonne continued, "As for Fragrance, I’ll find out the evidence of their plagiarism by myself. I promise to give the justice to all of our designers!"

The designers of Shining were all very moved by what Yvonne said.

If there were in other companies, they would be just employees and asked to sacrifice for the company.

Yet in Shining, Yvonne made them feel they were respected.

For designers, the products they designed were like their own children.

The idea of a designer being plagiarized was just like a child being stolen. How could the designer not feel sad?

"Ms. Taylor, thanks for saying that. We’ll definitely work with you and do our best!" It was Shining’s Design Director who said so.

Yvonne patted his shoulder and said, "I know it’s stressful for you to design new products in such a short time. I also have some ideas about cosmetics myself, so if you need any help, just come to me."

After the event of Violet Hotel, Yvonne’s ability was clear to all.

Thus, the people of Shining were very convinced of her, so everything went indeed smoothly. No one had any intention of being uncooperative at all.

In the afternoon.

After thinking it over, Yvonne decided to go to Fragrance in person.

Fragrance was now also one of the top cosmetic brands in the country. It could be said that Fragrance and Shining were neck and neck in the cosmetic industry.

The only difference was that Shining had been focusing on products of vintage and traditional style and carefully designing and developing each product itself.

For example, these years, Shining had launched the Victorian lip balms and lipsticks with carvings, eyeshadow palettes of vintage style, rouge sunscreen and perfumed body lotion of modern style, etc. These products were very popular among domestic and foreign consumers.

Shining’s products were featured as nourishing the skin with natural ingredients. They wouldn’t make people look like wearing heavy makeup. For example, a small amount of rouge sunscreen would make the skin pink. Applying the perfumed body lotion during shower would make people feel like putting on perfume, which ensured them look more beautiful and attractive without wearing makeup. Moreover, such products could be used by everyone.

Many of the schoolgirls often used Shining’s products and their teachers never criticized them.

After all, wearing the sunscreen and lipsticks were not something that should be criticized about.

In contrast, Fragrance chose a different strategy.

Fragrance had been focusing on making money all these years, so they were not serious about creativity at all. They would plagiarize the internationally popular products and then produce a batch of fake products to sell them at a lower price. In this way, they cheated many students for their money.

In fact, the consumers were clear that the products sold by Fragrance were fake, but they were still willing to buy them because of the low price and the owner’s strong background. Therefore, Fragrance managed to make a lot of money from the students.

*

The headquarter of Fragrance was located in the city center of Hiltonan.

The building was built artistically subtle.

Yet the truth was that such a seemingly stylish and artistic company was in fact specialized in plagiarism.

Wearing a pair of sunglasses and a dark purple coat, Yvonne walked into the office of Fragrance’s boss, exuding an air of mightiness.

...

The owner of Fragrance was a 30-year-old woman named Jodie Swift.

It was her husband who founded the company. After her husband died, she took it over.

The whole company was doing quite well when her husband was in power, but after she became the boss, she was bent on making money. Gradually, Fragrance got struck by plagiarism and rest on its laurels.

When Yvonne entered the office, she saw Jodie, who was in the most popular brand clothes and heavy makeup, sitting on her desk and reapplying makeup.

On her desk, instead of documents related to work, there was a pile of makeup.

Her eyeliner was going to reach her temple while the lipstick made her mouth look like bleeding.

At first sight, Yvonne thought Jodie was a woman working in the night club. It was hard to imagine that such a person could be a chairman of a company.

When Jodie saw Yvonne, she hurriedly put down her powder and walked up to Yvonne with a smile.

"Oh, my. Mrs. Leinster, I’ve been wanted to meet you for a long time." Yvonne didn’t want to waste time chatting with her. She would never forgive a copycat. "Miss Swift, I’m here for one thing today."

"Hey, Mrs. Leinster, which shopping mall do you always go to? Look, I have a lot of new bags, clothes and shoes here. If you like, take some with you!"

Yvonne was speechless.

She thought, "No wonder she can’t design good products. Her mind is full of shopping, shopping and shopping. Oh, God!"

In fact, Yvonne had no opinion on Jodie being crazy about shopping, but she got really irritated by Jodie plagiarizing Shining’s products.

"Miss Swift, I’m not interested in any of your stuff."

Yvonne got to the point, "I’m here today to talk about the vintage Belle Lipstick that your Fragrance has newly launched."

"Ahem..." As soon as Jodie heard the Belle Lipstick, she tried to change the topic.

"Well, lipstick? Oh, we have a lot of products. Mrs. Leinster, are you interested in our products?"

Yvonne said seriously, "Miss Swift, I don’t think you don’t know that the idea of the Belle Lipstick belonged to Shining!"

"Your company plagiarized our idea, the color of the lipsticks and even the package! Miss Swift, today I’m here to give you two choices. You can choose to stop producing and selling the Belle Lipstick, give us the corresponding compensation and publicly apologize to our designers. Or, see you in court!"

When Jodie heard Yvonne asking for compensation and apology, she immediately got anxious and widened her eyes with cosmetic lenses in them.

"Yvonne Taylor, what do you mean by that? Do you have any proof to prove we plagiarized? I’m telling you, slander is also against the law!"

Yvonne sneered, "Whether you plagiarized or not, I’m sure you’re clear of it!"

"You!"

Jodie was at a disadvantage. Just then, her office door was opened.

A man in a silver suit walked in.

He had a mole in the corner of his eye.

In the past, he had delicate and almost feminine features. However, after all these years and with all the things he had experienced, his originally feminine looks had gradually degenerated into a sinister and cunning look. In short, his look made people feel truly uncomfortable.

When Yvonne saw Jordan Yale coming in, she got a bit surprised.

Yet the next second, Jodie immediately straightened her back and said in a cheesy voice.

"Jordan, you’re here! Come over here. This woman is just pissing me off!"

After saying that, Jodie looked at Yvonne smugly, her face stiff because of hyaluronic acid.

"I learned you’ve been chasing after Jordan for years without success. What a pity. Jordan now loves me so much and so good to me!"

...

Yvonne was speechless again.

Is she really a bonehead?

Why is she proud of being loved by such a scum?

At this moment, she saw Jordan walking over.

He directly passed Yvonne and put his arms around Jodie’s waist.

"Honey, Sorry I’m late."

Jodie looked up at Jordan and then kissed him, "You must have lost a lot of energy last night. I felt so good. I’m even too tired to work today!"

"Baby, I’m happy you felt good. Later, on the desk of this office, we’ll make..."

"Geez, you’re nasty. Your first love is still here."

Jordan acted in concert with Jodie for purpose.

He thought this could more or less make Yvonne feel upset and annoyed.

Yet he didn’t know that Yvonne did feel annoyed not because of envy but because of disgust.

She felt so disgusted that she was even going to vomit.

"Jodie Swift, stop playing drama. I don’t have the slightest interest in this kind of scum," said Yvonne without mercy.

"Hmph, you’re jealous! I think it’s just sour grapes!" The bonehead Jodie already lost her grace.

Jordan gave her another kiss and said, "Yes, baby. She’s just jealous of you. "Jordan turned his disgusting face to Yvonne and said to her with the following shocking words.

"Yvonne Taylor, don’t come here again to catch my attention. I don’t have the slightest interest in you right now. I hope you give up harming my girlfriend’s career and bothering her!"

"Me what?"

When Yvonne heard these words, she found them completely ridiculous.

She tried to be just sarcastic, but she simply couldn’t stand it anymore, so she started cursing them.

"Jordan Yale, why don’t you take a piss and see what do you look like? Do you really think you can gloat all over me because you’re the toy boy of a rich widow now? Do you think you’re really someone because you’ve made some small achievements in the past three years?"

"If it wasn’t for the Belle lipstick being plagiarized, do you think I’d like to come to a place like a brothel? Don’t think I don’t know that the person who betrayed Shining is your relative. It was you who came up with such a dirty trick to steal our design idea, right?"

"Catch your attention? Bah! Catch the attention of a copycat and a toy boy with a small dick? How ridiculous!"

With these words, Yvonne slammed a lawyer’s letter on the desk behind Jordan and Jodie.

Hearing Yvonne’s words, Jodie hardened her face. "Yvonne Taylor, what do you mean! Who are you cursing!"

Then, she looked at Jordan and asked angrily, "What did she mean by those words? Didn’t you say you didn’t like her? How could she see your dick?"

Jordan’s face changed from livid to pale. He was so furious that the blue veins were about to pop out from his forehead.

He knew Yvonne was talking nonsense because she didn’t even know his size.

Yet no man was happy with someone talking about his dick in public.

Jordan wondered, "Did she really know mine is small?"

When Yvonne finished talking, she was about to leave in anger.

Just then, a strong arm suddenly held her arms from behind.

Then, with one big push, the man was holding her entire body in his arms.

Yvonne was startled and subconsciously looked up.

The first thing that caught her eyes was the unparalleled jawline belonging to Zachary’s stunning face.
