Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 43

Bentley was efficient. He filed a complaint to the court not long after he met Starry and the case was made two days later.

Then Bentley went to meet the judge with the case receipt, asked for notice, and sent a photo to Starry.

Over six days after the plagiarism, Starry finally made a response on the Twitter account of Starlight.

Starry's post was quite simple and clear compared to Iris' long articles. She posted a picture of the case notice and it said, "Long time no see, the Discerner."

People understood the picture that she had filed a case on this.

But they didn't quite understand the words.

But Starry didn't post those words for random people but Iris.

Lucia thought she had won this game considering Starry didn't post anything these days to explain so she just thought Starry really did it.

Seeing Starry's post today, Lucia found it amusing.

But her smile froze when she thought about what Filip said a couple of days ago.

And Iris did panic when she saw Starry's post.

But soon she thought Starry was just bluffing as there was no way that she would still keep the chatting records from before and the original draft.

She wrote so many novels but there was not a single one among them that could go viral like this time. And her novels also went popular after this.

Iris had tasted the feeling of being successful. This was almost forgotten but it had made a comeback after Starry's post.

Iris then posted, "Someone just wouldn't do the right thing. Who's the Discerner?"

It was obvious that Iris was mocking Starry.

Lucia was about to call Iris but then she saw Iris had already posted.

This time she didn't tell Iris so. Iris did it herself.

Starry finally said something but people didn't buy it.

Some people thought that she posted until now because her company had already fabricated evidence for her.

After all, it was a universal fact that a writer wouldn't post her work just on one website.

Starlight was so famous that she was worth millions. Her company sure wouldn't let her go.

Besides, they didn't understand what Starry meant by the Discerner so they just jumped to conclusion that Starry was bluffing to warn Iris.

More people were rooted for Iris after Starry's post.

Izabella was so furious that she just wanted to curse on Twitter with an anonymous user name.

But soon it was the other way around. One of Starlight's general fans had found out that Iris' real name on a contract was actually the same as the Discerner's.

And Iris had also posted a lot of updates before as the name of the Discerner.

Iris saw this analyzing post and deleted her previous posts about the Discerner at 2:00 am.

But she didn't expect that there were still people following this issue at that time.

Someone even made a screen recording of the process when she deleted her posts.

The Discerner had become the No. 1 trending post at past 7 o'clock the next morning.

Iris had paid many people to stand up for her online but now more people were doing the opposite.

How much she wanted to go viral before was exactly how much she didn't want now.

But life wouldn't change as she pleased. That was karma.

When people found that Iris was the Discerner, they also found another detail.

Starlight followed Moon who had posted many blogs ten years ago.

Moon was already quite popular by then on the blog.

But the point was that Moon was the other account of Starlight's!

And the most important part was Moon had set a batch of her posts from ten years ago public.

There was the beginning of Make a Show, characters, outlines, and some details.

But the beginning part was a changed version.

And the beginning part of Queen's Counterattack was the same as the one in these posts.

People finally figured out who was the copycat.

In the name of Moon or Starlight, Starry was surely a modest and capable writer and the real original creator.

Starry didn't even have to say a word as people had said it for her online.

The whole thing had got clear in one day and Iris had turned the comments off as there were too many bad ones.

Iris' real name was Skyler Rees. Skyler finally panicked.

She didn't expect that Starry could really prove that she was the original after so many years.

But all the cursing online wasn't the real thing she was afraid of. The real thing was that she just sold one of her novels a couple of days ago as she was popular then.

And now she had to pay a penalty of twenty million because of this.

She thought she was an online influencer by then so she sold her book for six and a half million.

But if something happened to her which affected that novel then she needed to pay three times that.

Iris thought she was doomed. Then she thought of something.

She could beg Starlight to forgive her.

However, Skyler realized that she had already deleted Starry's when she was about to contact her.

Now Skyler really panicked. Her editor called when she was thinking about what to do. Her editor said that people from Archangel Pictures were here and they asked for twenty million of penalty or they would sue Skyler.

Skyler didn't have twenty million.

But things got worse. When Skyler went to the company and was about to beg them for mercy, she saw someone. It turned out to be Starry.
