“The Miller Group will partner with the Carter Studio to jointly undertake a Federal Landmark Architecture Project over the next five years. At the same time, architect Chloe Davis has been specially appointed to join the team, overseeing project development.”
Barely a few lines, but like a stone dropped into still water, they sent ripples crashing across the industry.
Everyone remembered how Chloe had been disgraced and expelled for plagiarizing my work. And yet here she was, returning boldly as an architect. Without the Miller Family’s support, who else would dare give her such a chance?
“A world-renowned architect forced to work alongside someone with a black mark on her record?”
“Isn’t this outright humiliation?”
“How could Sophia stomach working with the very woman who stole her work? Unless, of course, the story we know isn’t the whole truth…”
“Word is, the Carters were powerful back then. Maybe Chloe was silenced. Now that she’s made a comeback, perhaps Sophia’s family fears the past will be exposed—maybe that’s why she’s allowed back.”
