Chapter 397 Elliot’s Support
“There’s no need to stop her. She won’t be able to leave the country anyway.” Rey’s voice came from the other end of the line.
Alice had now become a wanted fugitive, so there was no way would she be able to get through airport security.
Currently, Alice was waiting in line. She had prepared to hide abroad with the five hundred thousand until all of this was over.
She had a feeling the whole of Savill would give her trouble, for she had brought them devastating disaster by pissing off Elliot.
Finally, it was Alice’s turn. She handed the customs officer her documents, only to find them glancing at her. With that, she asked anxiously, “Is everything alright, sir?”
The customs officer returned her documents and announced, “I’m sorry, miss, but you’ve been banned from leaving the country. Please go back.”
Blood drained from Alice’s face upon hearing their words. “What?! How? What for? Why am I banned?!”

“Anyhow, you’ve been banned from leaving the country. As for the reason, I’m pretty sure you know it well!” The customs officer glanced impatiently at her.
Alice was genuinely freaking out now, but all she could do was leave the airport with her luggage. Am I still not able to escape when I’ve already moved so quickly?
With that, Alice got to public security through her friends and asked if she had committed some sort of crime. However, she still got no answers.
Anastasia came to work at 8.30AM, and just like the day before, her colleagues looked at her with mocking gazes as she entered Felicia’s office.
“Did you find anything?” Felicia asked.
“It’s Alice. Savill transferred half a million into her bank account. I also have a clip of her coming in and out of my office around that time.”
Felicia sighed in response. “She’s the mole? How disappointing.”
Lo and behold, Alice didn’t show up for work. Anastasia had been waiting for the people from Savill to show up at 3.00PM, but what came was even bigger news. Savill had been sued for bribing a Bourgeois employee, stealing a design sketch, being involved in violating Bourgeois’ trade secrets, and even defamation.
The trending pages the day before were all about Savill prosecuting Bourgeois, but it was the other way around now.
Certainly, it was commercial warfare.
Felicia got a call just then, and she fell silent for a few seconds after answering it. Then, she looked toward Anastasia. “Alice has been arrested, and Savill’s CEO will make an official apology.”
“Elliot’s behind this.” Anastasia was surprised at how Elliot moved so quickly, for he had turned the tide in one night.

Did he stay up all night to deal with this? Anastasia thought.
When afternoon came, an even more shocking piece of news came. Savill’s stock market crashed and even hit the limit at one point, causing it to be on the verge of bankruptcy. In other words, its several-billion worth of assets were turning into dust.
Savill had probably never expected their one mistake to cost them everything after taking legal action against a designer, and for that, they pissed off the mystery business magnate backing her.
All in all, the issue came to an end by that afternoon. Savill would be withdrawing from the jewelry-making industry, and their CEO even held a press conference himself to apologize to Anastasia, admitting they had stolen her sketch and even defamed her. For that, they would be compensating her with 1.8 million.
Everyone at Bourgeois watched the live stream, and when they heard the compensation amount, they all turned into green-eyed monsters. Not only had Anastasia recovered her reputation, but she would also be getting 1.8 million as compensation.
It sure was different having Elliot’s support!
Meanwhile, Anastasia was also watching the press conference in her office. Of course, she was happy to get a whopping amount for nothing, but she also wished that something like this would never happen again.
After all, it seriously polluted the industry’s culture.
When Anastasia took a trip to the pantry later on, everyone fawned on her wherever she went.
“Congratulations, Anasatasia! We all know you were innocent.”
“Yeah, why would Anastasia need to steal their work when she’s so talented?”
