Chapter 86: Clash (4)

Ch- 86

Amelia was flustered when she heard her words. How could she not?

But why can't she find the logo and mark it?

She must be bluffing. Yes! That's the only possible way!

"Ms. Zora… Are you kidding me? I worked on this project day and night. And I know more about this than you. I can recite each and every line from it. Anybody can ask me questions about it. I will answer them. And as for the logo and sign…. No one is blind here," Amelia said haughtily.

Even though she said that… she felt something was wrong with Eleanor today.

"Fine then… Since you said it," Eleanor said.

"Mr. Emerson and Mr. Callan, could please save my face and take my request," Eleanor said politely with a smile. Even though her cheek was hurting she said nothing but tried her best to smile.

Cedric wanted to punch this woman but his respect for women stopped him from doing that.

Cedric nodded his head at Eleanor's words. Edward nodded his head too at Eleanor.

"Please ask questions about the project. Since basically or theoretically I 'stole' her concept. Our concepts must be the same. So… I don't think there is no way she could answer it," Eleanor said.

"Sure, wifey," Cedric said, earning a sharp glare from Eleanor. If she could, she would have thrown her pencil heel on his face at that moment. But she has to save his face. But her gaze said to him that she stored something for him afterward. Cedric gulped nervously and shifted his gaze to Amelia, only then he noticed that she was gazing at Eleanor hatefully. But all these things didn't go unnoticed by Edward. He saw something that he never saw in Cedric. That was… Fear!! DID YOU HEAR THAT!!!! CEDRIC IS SCARED OF HIS WIFE!!  Dammit!!

A piece of news that could blow up the entire country with gossip!! Dammit!! He found the remote control of his friend!! He needs to win favor from his sister-in-law.

Right!!

This was the chance for him to win the favor of his sister-in-law!!

"Sister-in-law, Why not let her finish presenting the presentation? I want to see how good she can say," Edward said.

"We can ask the questionnaire later or…"

"…in the middle of her presentation," he added as he drew his words, making Amelia shiver.

Eleanor understood the underlying meaning of his words. She nodded with a smirk.

She got down from the stage and was about to sit in her place.

"Wifey, why don't you sit beside me?" Cedric asked, making everyone gaped in astonishment.

"Mr. Emerson, I don't dare to mix relations and business in a single plate. I apologize for my behavior," Eleanor smiled politely and sat in her seat with her chin high and crossing her right leg over her left leg. She sat like a Queen who owned the world.

Amelia didn't know why but she felt her heart was beating loudly in her ribcage.

She started giving her presentation despite the warning bells in her mind. Two minutes passed barely but Edward sharpened his tongue to slay the enemy.

"Ms. Parkinson's, Don't you think that addition of the pagoda doesn't belong to our country? But instead, it belonged to one of the southern countries. May I know why you are involving it in the project?" Edward asked.

In Eleanor's presentation, she mentioned this pagoda too. But she gave an answer that shut the mouths of others. If Amelia was stupid, she wouldn't have listened to the presentation. If she was smart, she would have listened to Eleanor's earlier presentation.

Amelia glared at Edward when she heard his question.

"Mr. Callan, it's not a real pagoda. We are just displaying the duplicate of the original construction," Amelia said with a smile swallowing the belly full of anger.

"I know! I can understand that. You have to explain to us why you are including that in the plan," Edward said.

Cedric didn't care about Amelia, he just looked at the queen of his heart. He was openly gazing at her with eyes filled with hearts, which annoyed Eleanor a bit. But when she saw the envious gaze of Amelia and her jealousy satisfied Eleanor.

"It's a part of our history," Amelia said with a nervous smile.

"How?" Edward asked.

"If you want to support that b***h Eleanor! Do it openly! Why do you need to beat around the bush?" Amelia said.

She couldn't control her temper.

Eleanor couldn't understand how Amelia couldn't stand a simple provocation. She used to be controlling and she was known for her good temper. But anyway… It's not her problem.

"Is that so?" Edward said.

"Looks like Ms. Parkinson doesn't know how to use her tongue. And she even forgot the place where she was standing," Cedric said, lifting his head to her showing a disgusted expression at her.

The onlookers got one thing that Cedric and Edward were on Eleanor's side, but one thing that they couldn't understand was… who was the real plagiarizer?

"Since… Ms. Parkinson couldn't say it. I shall ask Ms. Zora." Edward said.

"Ms. Zora… please…" Edward said.

"In the southern countries, there was a certain country which followed Hinduism. When King Alexander II visited that country out of curiosity along with his wife, his wife fell in with a pagoda they visited during their stay in that kingdom. King Daksha heard this and sent an architect with them while they were leaving. King Alexander II made him build a pagoda similar to it. He even built a statue of King Daksha to show his gratitude. And that pagoda was named after his wife. That pagoda was the symbol of King Alexander II and his wife. And many couples visit there. There is a myth that whoever visits the pagoda and writes a slip saying that their love should succeed and ties it to a banyan tree in front of the pagoda, will succeed. That's the reason it has this much significance," Eleanor said in the long story.

[A/N: This story is made up by me for the sake of the plot. There is no such thing.]

When Eleanor said this thing in the presentation, she closed the story in two lines. But now she explained every bit.

The onlookers were stunned at her points. Not many know about this story, they only know about the presence of the story. They knew that there was a love pagoda in the country.

Amelia didn't even know the story of this pagoda. All she knew was there was a famous pagoda in the country, that's all.

"I know this… It's just that I am flustered, I couldn't say this," Amelia said.

"I wish Ms.Parkinson's wouldn't get flustered. If you get flustered how could you go on with the presentation? If you got the project I don't think you will handle the project well," Eleanor said.

Amelia just glared at her, but Eleanor just checked her nails which were painted in black showing her arrogance.

"You may continue," Edward said in a less polite tone.

Meanwhile, Cedric asked someone to bring an icepack when he saw Eleanor was taking a second break for every four five-line she spoke. When they brought the ice pack, he got up from his seat and walked towards Eleanor, and sat beside her, as he pressed the ice pack on her face.

Amelia watched with her mouth wide open. She hated the fact that Cedric was taking care of Eleanor. Clenching her fists, she gritted her teeth loudly.

Edward, who was watching the show aside, felt scared when he heard the sound of her chattering teeth.

[this woman is too crazy!] Edward couldn't help but think.

"Cedric, why are you so embarrassing?" Eleanor whispered and yelled at him when he started applying an ice pack for her.

"I never knew that I am an embarrassment to you," Cedric said with a pitiful expression.

Eleanor wanted to say something but she held her words back when she saw his pitiful expression.

Mini-flashback…

"How to pacify an angry woman?" Cedric asked Edward.

"Don't tell me you angered my sister-in-law?" Edward asked with the eyes filled with the screams, 'I need gossip!!!!'

"Kind of! Say it now!!" Cedric asked, feeling annoyed.

"First tell me what did you do?" Edward asked.

"If you don't want to tell me. Go away. I will ask my sister," Cedric said, taking his phone out.

"Fine… you win. You win!" Edward said.

"Now tell me. The presentations would begin in half an hour. Don't waste time," Cedric warned.

"Use your puppy eyes. Just like in those dramas where the Female lead uses her cute face to ask something when she needs to ask something from Male Lead." Edward said.

"Will that work?" Cedric asked with doubt.

"Of course!" he said proudly.

"Now… tell me what did you do to my sister-in-law?" Edward asked.

"Who are you?" Cedric asked with an expression that said 'I don't know you,'

If there was a third person they would think that Cedric doesn't know this person.

Edward humped and bumped at him. He swore to god to get revenge for this in the future!
