Chapter 78 Big Trouble

Chapter 78 Big Trouble

Ai put down her bag in her room and nervously paced back and forth in front of her bed.

With this plagiarism sword swinging on her neck, her chances to be chosen to Sky were as good as none.

Getting into Sky was her first step in becoming a writer she always dreamt of. This was the chance to fulfill her wish that she couldn't do so in her past life.

Dream High always focused more on Guiying whereas she got little to none resources. She wanted to change things by moving to a different publishing company, away from Guiying and Yating.

Although she knew the future of Sky's collapse five years later, she still decided to choose Sky. She thought now that she knew Sky was going to fall, she would find out the reason why it happened and prevent its collapse. She would secure Sky and her own future.

But now I won't even get into Sky…

She had asked Jun what would happen next, and he had answered,

'The CEO personally involves himself in the draft selection process. He would deal with her.'

Ai shivered.

The way he pronounced 'deal with her' had a villainous ring to it. She was sure she would be rejected, but why did she feel that…

Something more bad is about to ha something bad was going to happen anytime soon. But what was stopping Jun was the books he held right now standing in front of his shelf.

They were MissImperfectlyFine's books. He was looking at the first page where she had signed them. The page almost crumpled between his fingers.

You…were you really fooling me all this time?

He stared at her award winning work - My time with you. The ending when the leads decided to part ways rather than come together made him feel bitter.

But even through that bitter feeling, something had resonated in his heart like a loud, crashing wave. It had a huge impact on him which he could never forget. But he couldn't understand what it was exactly.

The writer who made his heart swing up and down like a seesaw with an onslaught of varied emotions, was she someone who could steal someone's work?

Is she the same person who wrote the book that shook him so hard and whose books had a place on his shelf?

It was a small meeting with her during the event, nevertheless he had enjoyed it. He liked that he got to know more about her.

But now he was on the verge of throwing her books away forever. She betrayed Ai's trust and that was something he couldn't tolerate. Something burned his very cells with enmity thinking that Ai was used.

He narrowed his eyes and picked his phone. He opened the Reading Point chat where Warlord and the others were chatting like usual.

He hit MissImperfectlyFine's direct message window and typed.

MrPerfect - I never thought you would be so shameless.

There was a long silence. Her status symbol was available, so it meant she was online.

Finally, he saw her typing.

MissImperfectlyFine - What do you mean?

Jun clenched his phone harder as if it would break at any moment.

MrPerfect - You plagiarized someone's work. If you are not shameless, then what are you?

There was a pause.

MissImperfectlyFine - I didn't plagiarize. How do you know about this? I thought you were a nice person because you helped me before. I enjoyed talking to you whenever we did. But you are accusing me without evidence.

His gaze turned chilly.

MrPerfect - You are talking to the Sky CEO. That's how I know.

There was even a longer pause than before.

It wasn't Jun's intention to reveal his identity to anybody, especially someone from Dream High. But this time, he wanted to.

He wanted her to know who she was messing with. He wanted to suffocate her like a fish flopping on land for its life.

Also, he wasn't revealing himself as Liu Jun. It was as MrPerfect, his identity on Reading Point. Nobody knew that MrPerfect was Jun or vice versa. So, he was giving him out but not really at the same time.

He sneered.

If she does try to expose me, I can silence her anytime.

Before she could reply, he typed his last message to her.

MrPerfect - I am not chatting to know your reasons. You have already lost all respect I had for you. I came to say that you are finished. You picked a bone with the wrong person. You plagiarized that means someone else has worked hard for it. You stole everything important to that person and Sky doesn't take this shit. Prepare yourself.

Ai was staring at her chat window. If it wasn't enough that she came to know that Jun had access to reading submissions, now MrPerfect dropped another bomb.

Sky…CEO…?

The phone almost collapsed from her hand. She wanted to believe that he was joking. But even through his chats, she felt the weight of his words.

He wasn't lying. He didn't even bother to convince her about his identity.

He just said it. That was it.

Ai gathered herself and quickly wanted to clear the misunderstanding.

I will explain what happened, and then he will definitely understand.

At this point, she didn't know what else to do but to be ready to face the consequences. She kept typing and sending him messages, but none went through as she got only one reply from the system.

'You cannot send anymore messages as the recipient has blocked you.'

Dream High.

Zhan Yahui rushed to the elevator and up towards Yating's office. She quickly opened the door and saw him working on his laptop. His condition was slightly better than before, but the bags under his eyes were still visible.

"Gu Yating!"

He lifted his gaze and went back to his laptop. "What's the rush? Just keep the drafts aside. I am not in the mood right now."

She shut his laptop. "Hey!"

"Gu Yating, why are you so relaxed? Do you even know what's going on? Dream High is in big trouble and all because of Zhou Ai!"

That awoke him instantly. "What do you mean?"

"Just look at the news. Sky Publishing has accused MissImperfectlyFine of plagiarizing!"
