Chapter 899
Taking the phone and looking at it for a while, Maxim’s face instantly turned extremely ugly, and a cold aura was emanating from his body.
Anastasia subconsciously took a step back, only to see Maxim looking at her coldly with his eyes raised.
“Your name was Anastasia, right?”
Anastasia’s heart trembled, her hand clutching the wine glass subtly paled, but she still forced herself to speak calmly: “Yes… I am…”
“Hehe!”
Maxim’s icy, piercing gaze was fixed on her, as if he wished to tear her apart. A wave of fear involuntarily surged within Anastasia.
“Was it you who said online that Briana Cameron plagiarized your design?”
A flicker of guilt flashed in Anastasia’s eyes as she quickly retorted, “No… I didn’t. The company found that Ms. Cameron’s design was very similar to mine and suspected that Ms. Cameron had plagiarized. They are currently investigating this matter. I never said that Ms. Cameron plagiarized…”
Maxim looked at her coldly, “Did she plagiarize you, or did you plagiarize her?”
He was very clear about Briana Cameron’s level, she couldn’t possibly plagiarize others, and this woman had even been her assistant, it would have been very easy for her to steal her design drawings.
Thinking of this, a flash of disgust passed through Maxim’s eyes.
“I would investigate this matter thoroughly. If it turned out that you really plagiarized her and slandered her, I would make you regret ever being born!”
Anastasia shuddered involuntarily, a wave of fear surging in her heart.
She had originally thought that with her looks, Maxim would be interested in her, after all, in her view, there was no man who didn’t cheat.
Unexpectedly, Maxim was not only cold towards her, but also stood up for Briana Cameron.
She lowered her gaze, the jealousy and hatred in her eyes growing deeper. If Briana Cameron could be with Maxim, why couldn’t she?!
The more Anastasia thought, the more twisted her mind became.
Until……
“Anastasia, why were you standing here alone?”
Anastasia paused for a moment, turning her head to look at Elliot, who was watching her with a worried expression. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
“Mr. Murphy……”
“If you were too scared to talk to others by yourself, I would take you to meet others.”
Anastasia was somewhat incredulous, her eyes unconsciously widening. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Really?”
“Of course, you are my designer now, and it benefits me to introduce you to more people.”
Next, Elliot introduced Anastasia to many people. By the end of the banquet, she already had the contact information of many socialites in her phone.
After leaving the banquet hall, Elliot offered to take Anastasia home.
On the way, Anastasia expressed her gratitude.
With a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, Elliot said softly, “It’s okay, but I think I saw you talking to the president of the Yoder Group earlier. Do you know him?”
Mentioning Maxim, a hint of loss flashed in Anastasia’s eyes, then she lowered her gaze and said, “I wouldn’t say I knew him, I just met him once before.”
“The Yoder Group might also become a major client of Graceful Attire, you could interact more with Mr. Yoder.”
Hearing Elliot’s encouragement, Anastasia laughed self- deprecatingly, “Forget it, Mr. Yoder’s attitude towards me was pretty bad tonight.”
