Chapter 376
Seeing that it was a call from Mindy, Ada frowned and chose not to answer.
Shortly after, she received a message from Liam.
[Ada, is this what you call “going well“?]
Ada looked at his message in disbelief. How could her company possibly lose?
Soon, Perficient’s lawyer came out.
He no longer appeared as confident as before. He looked especially despondent when
compared with MY Corporation’s spirited lawyer, who was next to him.
The reporters were disinterested in Ada at this point. They quickly shifted their focus to MY
Corporation’s lawyer and surrounded him.
“Mr. Rodriguez, why did you wait till the last minute to present evidence? You could have
debunked Perficient’s claims from the start.”
Mr. Rodriguez smiled and said, “We wanted to see how shameless Perficient could be, and
we weren’t let down. Perficient had the audacity to demand a whopping fifty million in
compensation. This is my first time encountering such a shameless company.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis words made everyone laugh, but the lawyer from Perficient looked extremely
displeased.
Ada was furious because MY Corporation’s team managed to prove that the image was
fake.
It had been produced with the latest Generative AI, so how did this happen?
She got angrier when she recalled what Liam had said.
She quickly replied. [Aren’t you bold to question me? You assured me that no one could
tell it was fake, so how did MY Corporation’s lawyer figure it out?]
After that, she got in her car and tossed her phone onto the passenger seat. Then, she
started the engine and drove away.
Now that Perficient had lost the lawsuit, it would face even harsher criticism. She needed
to devise a solution soon to salvage the situation.
When MY Corporation won the lawsuit, Dulcie gave Silvia a call to tell her about it.
Silvia reacted to the news calmly as she sat in her office. After all, she had predicted it.
Perficient reaped what it sowed. Those who had vehemently criticized MY Corporation
online were furious upon discovering that Perficient had deceived them. Ada was about to
face the consequences of her actions.
The announcement of MY Corporation’s victory led to a spike in its stock prices.
To celebrate, the company offered a thirty–percent discount on its clothing, which sold out
rapidly.
In stark contrast, Perficient’s stores appeared desolate.
Following Perficient’s loss, its underhanded tactics were exposed, and this resulted in
widespread criticism. Some people online even organized a boycott against the company.
Ada spent the entire day in her office reading comments online.
Many who used to support Perficient were angry at it for deceiving them. They criticized it
on its official Twitter account and sent harsh messages to Ada.
Their hurtful words continued to fill Ada’s mind, and she threw her phone in
anger.
At first, the PR Department tried to control the situation, but when they realized that it had
gotten out of hand, they gave up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBeyond the online realm, numerous collaborators approached Perficient to terminate their
contracts. Some even learned that Adam, Merlight’s former project manager, had privately
met with Ada multiple times. Everyone speculated that his quick decision to terminate
Merlight’s contract with MY Corporation might be related to Ada.
When Ruby knocked on Ada’s office door, she found her seated behind the desk with a
cold expression. Ada was staring intensely at the computer screen and gripping the
keyboard. Her eyes were red, and she seemed unnaturally agitated.
Ruby stood a few steps away and dared not move forward.
“M–Miss Pond, some of our major collaborators are here. They want to terminate their
contracts and demand compensation for the breach…”
Ada gritted her teeth and said, “Let the other shareholders deal with it!”
“Lawyers from MY Corporation are here as well. They want to discuss compensation.”
The second she heard this, Ada raised her head in rage. “Tell them to leave! I won’t give
Silvia a single penny!”
Startled by her almost frantic demeanor, Ruby quickly left the office.
