My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 1204

Emma rolled her eyes. Culver's words were ridiculous.

Naomi rubbed her head as she said, "I'll hang up if you don't have anything important to tell me. I'm quite busy now."

Culver couldn't hold back any longer. "Naomi!" he called out again.

A few days ago, he had ordered his subordinates to drive Nelson out of Greene City, but Nelson was so crafty that he managed to escape.

Culver thought that he would return to harass Naomi, therefore he sent people to keep an eye on her surroundings. He had been notified that morning that Nelson had appeared in the hospital with Emma.

It infuriated him.

Emma was Naomi's best friend. To Culver, she wouldn't be with Nelson without Naomi's consent.

He had been waiting for Naomi to explain things to him, but Naomi hadn't looked for him at all.

In the end, he couldn't help but call Naomi to demand an explanation.

"You've been deceived by Nelson once. Are you going to be fooled a second time? Can't you be a little smarter? What's so good about him?"

Dumbfounded, Naomi retorted, "Mr. Olsen, if you have that much free time in your hands, could you please take care of your own company's matters? I'm afraid that your company will be implicated in a plagiarism scandal soon if you don't take action. By then, people will say that you're exploiting small companies like mine. After all, the Olsen Group is a big prestigious company."

After that, before Culver could reply, she had already hung up on the call.

Culver was at a loss for words.

He couldn't believe that she had hung up on him first.

Shortly afterwards, he started to wonder what she meant by 'plagiarism'. In his eyes, Naomi would not defame anyone despite having a bad temper.

Then, he suspected that Nelson was behind it.

After thinking for a while, he called Aaron into his office.

"In the past few days, has our company launched any new designs or models?"

Aaron nodded. "Yes! There are many ongoing projects in our company. We will launch several of them each month. One of them happened to be launched this morning." "Show it to me!"

Aaron immediately found the materials and passed them over to Culver. Culver read through them and frowned.

Naomi was probably right.

As far as he remembered, such a design style had never been seen in his company before.

"Was it proposed by the new designer?"

"No! An old employee of the company came up with this. It's just that he used to be really humble and didn't show his talents in the past. However, this time, he really did an amazing job. He came up with a brand-new design and the result was very amazing."

Culver pursed his lips, demanding, "I want to meet him now."

Meanwhile, everyone in the design department of the Olsen Group was incredibly excited.

After their latest model had been launched, it became a trending topic on the Internet. Some people even posted a tweet regarding it and there were over hundreds of millions of people discussing it. Many people believed that the project would be a paradise and they couldn't wait to live there.

The employees were all in high spirits. Someone complimented, "Donald, you've done a great job this time. I will recommend you for a promotion once I have the chance to speak to the boss." "Thank you, director!"

Donald replied bashfully.

Just as his colleagues were cheering for him, Aaron came.

"Donald, the President wants to see you!"

Donald was stunned, and the people around him gave him a round of applause.

"Director, it seems that there's no need for the recommendation since Mr. Olsen has already noticed our talented man, Donald. With his remarkable accomplishments, I bet our department will have a promising future."

"Donald, be careful when you talk to the President later. Don't make him angry!"

His supervisor gave him a gentle reminder.

Originally, Donald was a little anxious, but he was soon reassured by their optimism.

"Okay."

Soon, he followed Aaron to the highest floor.

Donald tried to suppress his excitement. He had worked in the company for so many years, and he wondered if his time to shine had finally come.

To his dismay, Culver questioned him sternly.

"Tell me, where did you steal the blueprint from?"

Donald's heart skipped a beat. His hopes of getting a promotion were shattered in an instant.

"President, I didn't do it!"

"Don't lie to me. I'll replace someone to investigate this matter. If I replace out about everything myself, I won't be as nice as I am now!"

Donald insisted, "It really is an original work of mine."

Culver looked at him coldly, "Fine. Since it's your original creation, then answer this question. You used a special design for the window grilles, didn't you? What patterns did you use?" Donald was stumped by his question.

"Answer me!"

Culver banged the table with his fist, and his expression gradually became solemn and terrifying.

It seemed that he let his guard down recently until such a misconduct had happened within the company. What was more, the wrongdoer was unwilling to admit his guilt.

Such an incident had caused him to lose face in front of Naomi.

When he thought that Naomi might hate him because of the matter, he felt even more uneasy.

"I'll give you three seconds. You know how I do things. One, two, three-"

Such a countdown was terrifying for anyone from all walks of life.

"Pre-president, I really didn't plagiarize the design.

I bought the blueprint."

Culver asked, "Who sold it to you?"

"I don't know who the man was."

Donald explained, "I was in a bad mood that day. I went to the bar for a drink."

Donald's performance was rather mediocre, hence he had been stressing about it lately. On that day, not only did he receive a reprimand from his supervisor, but he was also scolded by his wife. Thus, he had gone to the bar to get drunk. While he was drinking, a man had come over and asked him if he wanted to succeed. The man said that he had a marvelous blueprint and he was in need of money, so he wanted to sell it.

Donald had chatted with him.

He had even given his money to that man amidst his drunken daze. After he sobered up, he thought he had been cheated. To his surprise, he had found the blueprint lying beside him.

Although he was not too skilled in design, he could discern a high quality design.

He had never seen such a style of design in their company. Moreover, such talent was rare even throughout the entire country. He took a fancy to the blueprint at a glance.

He knew that that blueprint would definitely bring him benefits.

He had failed to bother to look into the man and his identity. He kept the flash drive, which had been hidden under the blueprint by the man, in a safe place and brought the blueprint to the company. Then, things had proceeded as he expected. The blueprint was greeted with praise and it developed into the most important project of the company of the year.

He thought that he could obtain both fame and wealth. Unexpectedly, that was just his wishful thinking.

Culver blinked in contemplation. He suddenly felt that things were not as simple as he had initially thought. He had an intuition that Donald was telling the truth.

If that was the case, why would the person behind the incident involve both Naomi and him?

Was it him?

Someone came to his mind.

Had Nelson Luther pulled such a trick?

He wondered if Nelson wanted to drive a wedge between Naomi and him so that he could become her boyfriend again.

He couldn't help cursing, "He's such an incorrigible reprobate!"
