Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 178

Instead of suing Bailey, Emmy Boutique made Luther Group the defendant in their lawsuit and even brought the case to the international court.

The moment the news broke, it sent a shockwave through the world.

After all, Luther Group was a long-established business empire with a solid foundation.

Ever since Artemis took over the company, it expanded exponentially to the extent of gaining a monopoly over many popular industries. Within Aploth itself, it occupied a dominant position and was untouchable.

As for Emmy Boutique, it was an apparel company founded six years ago. In spite of growing to become one of the most popular brands on the international stage, the company's influence and foundation paled in comparison to Luther Group.

Therefore, their decision to initiate a lawsuit against Luther Group was nothing but an exercise in futility.

Even though the lawsuit might impact Luther Group's stock price negatively, there was still no way the company's foundations would be shaken.

Furthermore, such a move was extremely risky, as Emmy Boutique could end up in a position where Luther Group could take over it.

Meanwhile, inside a café in the city, Rhonda slammed the newspaper she was holding down on the table. Scowling at Jessica, she questioned through gritted teeth, “Didn't you claim to have an understanding with Emmy Boutique and that their legal department would sue Bailey? How did Luther Group end up as the target of the lawsuit?”

As a grave look descended upon Jessica's face, she gave the newspaper a deathly stare and ranted, “How did this happen? It shouldn't have turned out like that. They clearly agreed to take legal action against Bailey and even claimed that she was standing in their way. Only by disposing of her can the designer they nominated win The Grand Fashion Show.”

Staring coldly at Jessica, Rhonda asked in a seething tone, “What was your deal with Emmy Boutique for you to have so much faith in their words?”

The moment the word “deal” was mentioned, Jessica sprang up from her chair, as if she was jolted by an electric current. “Oh no, I'm finished. I'm really finished this time.”

No sooner had Jessica spoken than she grabbed Rhonda's arms. As if she was possessed, she muttered, “Ms. Rhonda, please save me. I beg of you. Otherwise, both of us are done for. All of us have been had.”

The words caused Rhonda's heart to sink as a sense of dread began to fill her mind.

Could this fool have given Emmy Boutique dirt on us?

“Speak clearly. What in the world have you done?”

The listless-looking Jessica did not reply. Instead, she kept repeating that they were done for.

Having lost her patience, Rhonda raised her hand suddenly and slapped Jessica harshly.

Amidst the crisp sound of a slap, the stinging pain that resulted snapped Jessica out of her hysteria.

“Rhonda...” Jessica burst into tears as she explained, “It wasn't my idea to tamper with Les Cinq Series. Instead, it was someone from Emmy Boutique who proposed it. Back then, the person in charge of their public relations department told me that they, too, have nominated a designer for The Grand Fashion Show, and their biggest competitor was Bailey. The reason she came to me was to form an alliance to take Bailey down together, to which I... I agreed.”

With her eyelids twitching rapidly, Rhonda's eyes began to burn with rage. She was filled with the urge to tear Jessica apart for not only failing to do her job but also making things worse.

All this while, she had assumed that it was Jessica's idea to tamper with Les Cinq Series.

However, it had never crossed her mind that Emmy Boutique was the one who initiated the idea. Jessica is such a fool to have been manipulated by them.

“Did you give them dirt on you?”

Jessica replied in a grave tone, “The designer responsible for Les Cinq Series reports to the person in charge of public relations, and so does the staff who helped me switch it.”

As her head began to swoon, Rhonda felt her knees buckle, causing her to slump into her chair.

It's over. We're done for.

Grabbing Rhonda's hand tightly, Jessica sobbed, “Rhonda, I have walked into a trap. Emmy Boutique never wanted to attack Bailey from the very beginning. Instead, it just wanted to take me down. Now that they have something on me, you have to save me. Otherwise, I'll end up going to prison.”
