Chapter 118
Yvonne’s heart jolted, and she abruptly turned to look towards the door.
A group of people quickly stepped in. They all wore a badge on their chest.
Yvonne recognized it immediately. It was the badge of the National Design Institute
The person leading the group was somewhat older, his hair graying, yet his spirit was vibrant, and his eyes shone with clarity.
It was Teo.
When he reached Yvonne, Teo gave her a cold glance before stepping towards Flora.
There was a bit of a situation on the way here. Sorry for the delay.”
Flora nodded slightly. Making it from the National Design Institute in just over twenty minutes was already quite fast.
Teo signaled to a man who looked like a lawyer. The man nodded, pulling out a document case.
“I am Anthony, the Chief Legal Officer of the National Design Institute. I am here to represent the Institute in response to the allegations of plagiarism against Ms. Yvonne.
“This is the design blueprint purchased by the Institute from Rose’s design team. As everyone can clearly see, many elements of this design overlap with Ms. Yvonne’s competition entry. Besides, here are the rest of the designs from the same series.”
Saying so, the lawyer pulled out another stack of design drafts. “These are the previous works released by Rose’s design team. The earliest was published six months ago.”
The photographer even gave those drafts a close–up shot. It was evident that these designs shared similarities with Yvonne’s newly released work.
If Rose’s design team had released their work six months ago, then it could only mean that Yvonne had plagiarized.
Yvonne felt as if all her strength had been drained. She had seen those design drafts that the lawyer had thrown out before.
When she got her hands on those drafts, she was blinded by desire and didn’t think too much about it. Besides, who would have thought that a random scrapped draft would belong to Rose’s design team
Her life was…..
Ruined.
All because of Flora!
Yvonne suddenly raised her head, staring at
ed her head, staring at Flora with intense eyes. Her eyes were bloodshot and filled with dense veins,
“Flora, who exactly are you, and what is your relationship with Rose’s design team!”
The Flora she had always looked down upon actually knew Queen Algria, was acquainted with Louie Howell, whom she had tried so hard to please, was utterly obedient to Flora. Even the people from the National Design Institute were polite and courteous to Flora. “It’s not much of a big deal.” Flora glanced at her lazily. ” am merely a member of Rose’s design team. I suppose.”
A high school student whose name no one had ever heard of was actually a member of Rose’s design team!
Everyone was astounded, finding it unbelievable.
However, after the series of events that had just unfolded, their acceptance to this truth had increased considerably.
It all made sense now. She was a member of Rose’s design team, so naturally, she knew Louie and Howell.
Yvonne clenched her teeth, having anticipated this possibility yet still finding it hard to accept.
The Flora she had looked down upon was the girl she could never hope to compare to.
“In the matter of Ms. Yvonne’s plagiarism, the National Design Institute will file a lawsuit, and further announcements will be made on the official website. We absolutely will not let original creators be disheartened, nor will we allow plagiarists to roam free.”
As the lawyer’s words fell, Yvonne collapsed to the ground like a person drowning.
