Kendrick released Samantha before he lost control completely.
Samantha still wore a smile, as if she wasn’t the one who experienced the amorous
events.
On the other hand, Kendrick seemed somewhat irritated.
At this moment, his burning desire had nowhere to be released. The frustration made him grit his teeth.
Da mn it!
He tightly clenched his fists, cursing internally.
How could he forget that this was his office?
He had always been clear about separating personal and work matters. Over the years, he had never crossed any boundaries.
How did the idea of f ucking Sophia right there in his supposedly serious workplace even cross his mind today?
Not just once, but twice!
D amn it! This was absolutely abnormal!
“Mr. Ford, if there’s nothing else, I’ll return to my desk.”
Samantha was in a good mood. How could she not be when Kendrick was on the losing end?
“Okay.” Somewhat impatient, Kendrick nodded. “Jude will brief you on the press
conference.”
“Okay.” Samantha agreed with a nod. Then, with an elegant turn, she walked toward
the door.
“Oh, by the way…” Kendrick called out to her once again.
“Is there anything else, Mr. Ford?” Samantha turned back, a polite smile hiding her
impatience.

Why couldn’t he just say everything at once instead of dragging things out like this?
Detecting her displeasure, Kendrick narrowed his eyes.
When did he allow a woman to behave this way in front of him?
His women might show a bit of temper when most favored. Though he often
indulged them at those times, they never crossed his bottom line.
Since encountering Sophia, he had made an exception again and again.
Samantha could see his expression changing, but he didn’t say a word. He just
looked at her as if he wanted to devour her whole.
She gave Kendrick a seductive smile. “Bye, Mr. Ford.”
Her gaze went straight down to his crot ch as she said, “If you don’t want your men to
notice, it’s best not to get so excited,”
With that, she opened the door and walked out.
Kendrick glared at the door, as if he could bore a hole through it. That da mn woman actually dared to mock him!
However, when he looked down at his still-energetic manhood, he finally gave up
the struggle and went into the bathroom in the office.
Reporters had arrived at the press conference venue early in the morning.
When it was time, the doors of the conference room opened from the outside. All
cameras and lenses were focused on the person walking in.
At once, clicking sounds from cameras resonated.
Even Jude, who was following behind Samantha, couldn’t help squinting.
Nevertheless, Samantha remained unaffected, walking onto the stage and taking her
seat.
As a well-known fashion designer returning from overseas, being accused of

plagiarism naturally attracted considerable attention.
Moreover, considering Ford Corporation’s status as one of the top companies in the
country, the media was keenly interested in this news. Therefore, many reporters
were present today.
The sp acious conference room was completely filled.
Seeing Samantha take her seat, the reporters no longer held back, throwing out their
respective questions.
“Ms. Meadows, is it true that the SL Series is a product of plagiarism?”
Still smiling, Samantha spoke with a calm and graceful tone. “The purpose of today’s press conference is to provide explanations to the media and the public regarding
the recent plagiarism allegations.”
After saying that, she signaled to Jude, who promptly took out a stack of drawings
from his briefcase.
“Everyone, here are all the design drafts for the SL Series,” Samantha announced. I’m sure you have all seen the design drafts from the company that accused me of plagiarism. I admit, those sketches are real, but it’s not me copying them. It’s them
who stole my drafts!
“These are all the rough drafts for the SL Series. You’re welcome to take them and compare. You’ll see that the so-called sketches and concept drawings they. presented were hastily added later just to complete their lie!”
With this revelation, the room erupted in astonishment.
No one expected Sophia to present all the concept drawings so straightforwardly.
It was worth noting that designers would need to go through a lengthy and painful process of creation and revisions before producing and presenting the final work to the public. Concept drawings were never meant to be disclosed to the public.
Sophia not only presented all her sketches to prove her innocence, but she also confronted the accusers fearlessly. Such courage was truly admirable.
“Ms. Meadows, since you claim that the other party stole your design drafts, may I
“I

ask how these drafts were stolen? As far as I know, such documents should be confidential and inaccessible to ordinary employees.
“Moreover, the SL Series is Ford Corporation’s key project. I would assume that the security measures are even tighter.
“If the drafts were still stolen under such measures, does it indicate an internal issue within Ford Corporation? Or did you steal your own design drafts?”

Chapter 0131
A reporter suddenly stood up and fired off a barrage of sharp questions at Samantha..
The room fell silent again, and all eyes were on Samantha on stage, waiting for her
response.
Samantha smiled faintly, seemingly unconcerned about the implied accusations in the reporter’s questions.
“You’re right. Such documents are usually not accessible to ordinary employees, but that doesn’t mean that no one can access them.
“Ford Corporation has already investigated this matter. It was indeed a staff member
from the design department who acted impulsively and made a mistake.”
Jude promptly presented a series of evidence, proving that the incident was caused
by an internal traitor. The rumors of Sophia stealing her own designs and plagiarism were overturned.
With the matter clarified, Samantha publicly announced that all the designs exposed
earlier would be abandoned. “I won’t want something that has been touched by
someone else, even if it’s mine.”
Samantha spoke with arrogance. As she looked at the crowd, a sense of superiority
and pride could be seen in her eyes.
“My work must be unique. Those touched by trashy people, even if they were once
excellent and perfect in my eyes, will become garbage!”
Her arrogant words surprised everyone. No one expected Sophia to be so bold and
commanding.
At the same time, in the office, Kendrick heard Samantha’s bold words on the TV.
He first frowned in displeasure but didn’t get angry. Through the TV, he observed.
her proud smile and the glint in her eyes. She was very charismatic.
Watching her, Kendrick gradually relaxed and, soon after, smiled.
Although he preferred submissive women, he suddenly felt strangely drawn to
Sophia’s wild and unrestrained demeanor.

At Snider Residence, Linda had also watched the press conference.
She knew the time of the conference and had waited in front of the TV, hoping to witness Samantha’s disgrace. However, the situation was unexpectedly resolved so easily.
Linda was scared, as Kendrick had found out about what she did and kicked her out
of the company. He even got really angry.
These days, she couldn’t help but wonder if Kendrick would tell her father about
what she did or even publicly announce that it was her doing.
After watching the press conference, she finally felt at ease and even a little
triumphant.
She knew Kendrick was good to her. Even though she did such a thing and he was
angry, in the end, he wouldn’t harm her at all.
However, Linda felt that not taking advantage of this situation to bring down
Samantha was a missed opportunity./
She wouldn’t think that if it weren’t for the need to protect her, Kendrick wouldn’t
have had someone else to be a scapegoat.
While the man who helped Linda was morally questionable, he was primarily
motivated by financial gain. The true mastermind behind all this was still Linda.
And yet, she was just scolded by Kendrick and kicked out of the company. Such punishment seemed too lenient.
Now that the matter was resolved, instead of reflecting on her actions, Linda was
still thinking about how to set Samantha up. She was truly spoiled.
Hearing Samantha’s confident statement at the end, Linda was even more annoyed.
The strawberry she had been holding was now crushed, and the red strawberry juice
stained her hands.

Linda wasn’t aware that her face was now somewhat twisted, making her look
creepy.
“Sophia, you b itch! I underestimated you this time. I didn’t expect that, even with this, I can’t bring you down! Just wait. Next time, you won’t be so lucky!”
After the press conference, Samantha returned to the company first. After packing her things and seeing that there was nothing else to do, she decided to head home.
If she could leave early, she would never stay in the office longer than necessary. She didn’t believe in the principle that a good employee would never come late and leave early.
She wanted to get back home early to spend time with Nathan.
In the underground parking lot, just as she got into her car, her phone rang.
It was Conrad.
Samantha looked at the name on her phone and hesitated for a moment. Finally, she
swiped to answer.
“Ms. Meadows, you fought quite brilliantly today.” Conrad’s usual lazy and
indifferent voice came through the phone.
“A beautiful face paired with such pride, tsk, tsk.” He lightly chuckled. “What if I
really fall for you?”
Even though his voice was seemingly lazy, it always sent shivers down Samantha’s
spine.
She felt as though a snake was slowly crawling along her b*dy. This cold-blooded
creature would freeze everything wherever it went.
Samantha suppressed the discomfort in her heart, making her voice sound as
composed as usual.
“No matter how brilliantly I fought, it’s nothing compared to your perfect plan, Mr.
Hayes.”
