Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 1531
The design on the sketch resembled a butterfly with cloudlike patterns, and between its wings featured a platinum charm with
scattered diamonds around it. The design was so powerful that it immediately resonated with Stella.
She flipped through the pages, and the subsequent sections had more details explaining the design.
"It's beautiful," Stella praised. "It's much more beautiful than I had imagined."
Maggie lowered her gaze and said softly, "I was inspired by some of the elements you mentioned."
The butterfly symbolized a new life and beauty, while the clouds represented peacefulness. How Maggie merged these two
elements was exactly what Stella wanted.
Moreover, the platinum piece in the middle could be carved into different patterns, adding a distinct touch and making each piece
unique.
Stella lifted her gaze and said with a smile, "I only told you the themes I wanted, but you're the one who managed to merge
them. Let's go with this design. Send it to the carver to create a sample and see how it turns out."
However, Maggie did not move after taking the sketches back. Instead, she hesitated for a moment before asking softly, "Ms.
Hall, is this design going to bear the name of the designer?"
"Of course, your name will be on this work. After all, you're the one who created it."
Stella thought that Maggie only asked that because she was caught in a plagiarism case previously, but she heard Maggie
adding, "Ms. Hall, is it okay if we use another designer's name instead? Tessa or Blake will do, too."
Stella was taken aback, "It's your design. Why would you want to use another person's name?"
Maggie seemed to have something that she could not tell Stella. However, after hesitating for a moment, she said," Ms. Hall, you
may not be familiar with this industry since you've just taken over The Velvet, but I was involved in a court case in the past."
Then, she told Stella everything that had happened truthfully without omitting any details.
"I looked everywhere for a job after I was forced to resign. I knew that my former employer had blacklisted me in the industry
because the designer who copied my work had tarnished the company's reputation and caused them significant losses. They

would not allow me, who didn’t understand the industry’s rules, to have it good.
"I couldn't get a job, and the other party kept delaying the legal case. They were a large company with a dedicated legal team to
deal with such matters, and I was fighting alone. It drained me both financially and emotionally. It also deeply affected my
parents, and even their health deteriorated. After that, I figured that justice no longer meant anything to me, and all I needed was
money.
"The Velvet pays me relatively well. However, they were worried that my past would tarnish the company's reputation, so I was
never allowed to put my name on any of my designs here. Do you get it now?"
Maggie thought that Stella had randomly chosen her to deal with Barbara when she promoted her to the head of designer.
However, that was not the only reason. Instead, it was because Stella admired her work and even knew about her design from
her earlier years. She did not pick Maggie for no reason.
Maggie was pleasantly surprised after learning about that. She had a passion for this industry and hoped to shine in it. However,
she did not want to deceive Stella.
She had lost the lawsuit, and her former employer had not cleared her name in the industry either. She still had a bad reputation
in the scene, and using her name posed a certain risk.
Stella chuckled upon hearing that, "I thought it was something serious. You were the victim, not the plagiarizes What's the
problem with using your name? You spent so much effort into designing this. Are you going to be happy with someone else
taking credit for it?"
Maggie lowered her gaze and said softly, "I'm exhausted after going through the lawsuit, and I dare not ask for much.
I just want to have a stable income."
"The more you give in, the more they will take advantage of you. You're working for me now; I have an obligation to protect you
as long as you're not violating any professional ethics or the law. You should be the one taking credit for your own designs."
Maggie was overwhelmed, and her indifferent eyes lit up a little.
"I'll talk to the engraver about the details."

Stella nodded, "Make sure to keep the digital files and sketches somewhere safe. Don't publish them anywhere; well decide what
to do after the sample comes out."
