Sienna stood up, her tone calm and resolute. "However you choose to cancel the event, it's none of my concern. I'll be there on the agreed date with the readers, even if just one shows up. I won't disappoint them."

With that, she nodded goodbye and turned to leave.

But Harvey hurried to catch up. "Sienna, wait. Let's talk it through and resolve this."

"Your solution is for me to admit fault, offer compensation, and take down my book."

Harvey walked beside her, saying, "The best approach is to handle this quietly before it becomes widely known."

Standing by the elevator, Sienna pressed the button and turned to him. "Harvey, I'll say it again. I won't admit to something I didn't do."

"Fine. Do you have any proof?" he asked.

"Does having the draft count?"

"Of course not."

Sienna's face grew darker. When the elevator doors opened, she stepped inside.

Harvey followed her, trying to reason. "Alright, I believe it's your draft, but they updated their work three months before you. The court won't believe you."

"I want to meet the author," Sienna replied. She was curious to see who had the nerve to steal the first half of her story draft. The second half of the story was entirely different.

"The author refuses to see you. The contracted company has sent a lawyer to represent her to discuss the matter."

As the elevator doors opened with a ding, Sienna quickly walked out. "Then there's nothing to discuss. We'll sue them for plagiarism."

Harvey kept pace with her. "Sienna, be rational."

"I am being rational."

"You're gambling with your future," Harvey warned as he walked. "You're inviting trouble."Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Sienna remained unmoved.

In a moment of frustration, Harvey grabbed Sienna's arm, pulling her back to prevent her from moving forward.

Caught off guard, Sienna stumbled into his chest. As she steadied herself, she pushed against Harvey's hand.

Suddenly, a tall figure rushed in, forcefully holding Sienna's arm and pulling her away from Harvey. Startled, Sienna found herself falling into Daniel's strong, warm embrace.

"You..." she began, but before she could finish, Daniel had already enveloped her in his protective hold.

His expression was stern and authoritative, his gaze piercing as he stared at Harvey. "Who are you accusing of inviting trouble?"

The sheer intensity of Daniel's presence made Harvey tremble slightly. Flustered, he quickly explained, "That's not what I meant."

Sienna hadn't expected Daniel to still be there waiting for her. She pushed against his chest and stepped back, explaining, "He's my editor."

Daniel's eyes remained sharp, filled with caution as he glared at Harvey.

The intense scrutiny made Harvey uneasy. Trying to maintain his composure, he said coldly, "Don't misunderstand. Go back and talk some sense into your girlfriend. "She needs to apologize and compensate where necessary, resolving this matter without jeopardizing her career."

"He's not " Sienna began to clarify.

However, Daniel interrupted her, concerned. "Why should she apologize? And to whom does she owe compensation?"

"She's been accused of plagiarizing

someone else's book, and their

company is demanding

compensation," Harvey explained, exasperated. "They've approached us politely, but Sienna wants to sue them instead. She won't listen."

Daniel's expression darkened as he looked at Sienna. She avoided his gaze, stubbornly remaining silent.

On their way back to Morrison

Residence, Daniel tried to ask her

about the situation, but Siennacurtly replied, "It's my business. You don't

have to worry about it."

Daniel didn't press further. After dropping her off, he left without another word.
