Alice looked at the cell phone Sophia was holding; it was equipped with a transparent case that nearly concealed the Dragon Eye logo, but one could still vaguely tell that the cell phone was a Dragon Eye model.
After all, Dragon Eye cell phones were very distinctive due to their unique design. Sophia’s cell phone had such a design, but it was neither the Dragon Eye 6 nor Dragon Eye 7. In fact, it looked nothing like any of the Dragon Eye cell phones currently on the market.
Seeing that Alice was studying Sophia’s cell phone as if she had never seen it before, Sandra became certain deep down inside that the cell phone was a knock-off. This belief instantly filled her with confidence, and she raised her voice. “Even though Taylor didn’t land the endorsement deal with Dragon Eye, you two shouldn’t be using knock-off phones. You and your husband’s knock-offs must be manufactured by the same factory. No wonder their quality looks so cheap!”
Michael was known across the nation for his blatant use of a knock-off cell phone. As determined by several experts, the cell phone Taylor had been using was indeed a knock-off; even Amazon sold cell phones of the same model he was using, and they were selling like hotcakes since they looked identical to his.
Nobody could figure out the reason behind it, but he used a knock-off cell phone which made headlines on news websites almost every day.
Upon hearing Sandra’s voice, the crowd gathered around Sophia from near and far to see what the rumored knock-off cell phone looked like. As they moved closer, they noticed that Sophia was indeed holding a cell phone that looked like a Dragon Eye, but it didn’t look like any of the existing models. Moreover, the Dragon Eye logo was brazenly imprinted on it.
As if that wasn’t bold enough, she even showed her cell phone in front of Alice, who was the developer of the Dragon Eye’s cell phone series!
What on earth was Sophia doing? Wasn’t she still fighting for the right to be Dragon Eye’s agent? Wasn’t she asking for trouble by doing so?
Surrounded by the crowd, Sophia held her cell phone in one hand while holding a wine glass in the other. Taking a sip of the wine, she held the cell phone that had attracted everyone’s attention between her manicured fingers with a ghost of a smile on her face.
One couldn’t tell the expression on Alice’s face, for she looked as calm as she used to be. On the contrary, Sandra had gotten all worked up; she even started denouncing Sophia on Alice’s behalf as if she had become Alice herself.
“Sophia, you and your husband are well-known public figures in Cethos; countless people would imitate your every move. By blatantly using such knock-offs, do you know how badly you and your husband would affect Dragon Eye’s reputation and intellectual property? What is intellectual property to you? By doing so, both you and your husband are advocating for piracy. People like you are the sc*m of the Mitchell Family! Why would Miss Alice consider you as Dragon Eye’s agent in Cethos? Besides, you must apologize to Alice and the whole Michel Group for your use of Dragon Eye knock-offs!”
She uttered each and every word with righteous indignation as though she viewed herself part of the Michel Family.
The matter between Vincent and Lucile had almost been settled, and she was about to secure the agency contract with Dragon Eye; the only thing left to do was to sign the contract. Since there would be plenty of time for Sandra to make Linus develop feelings for her in the future, marrying into the Michel Family would only be a matter of time. Therefore, she had to put on a tough front right now so that Alice wouldn’t look down on her when she married Linus in the future.
Lucile once said that Alice was Linus’ greatest rival—Alice was constantly burning with ambition to move up the power ladder and replace Linus.
Therefore, Sandra was determined to show her attitude and craftiness that day; she wanted Alice to know that she wasn’t someone who could be easily bullied!
Sophia still held her knock-off phone with one hand while swirling the wine glass in her other. The red wine splashed around in her glass, reflecting the faces of many who were here to look on.
Vincent gloated at one side as the people around him were drawn to the commotion over here. He had finally succeeded in winning Alice’s heart the night before, and she finally stopped vacillating and keeping him in suspense. She had given the Mitchells the right to act as Dragon Eye’s agent, and Vincent agreed on acting as the company’s agent together with Sandra.
Lucy of the Edwards Family had an unfathomable expression, whereas Ian looked indignantly resentful upon seeing Vincent. He thought to himself, Lucile will be mine sooner or later!
What background is this Sandra from? Why is she acting as if she knows me very well? Why is she so worked up when I haven’t even spoken yet? Whether or not Sophia is using a knock-off cell phone is none of her business! Besides, the cell phone Sophia is using isn’t a knock-off…
