Lucy then took in a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. “Who said I was lying? Everything I've told you is
true. If you don't believe me, you can take a look at it yourself. You admire her, right? Look at these and find out
what kind of person she is yourself.”
She then took out a stack of pictures from her bag and smacked it on the table in front of the participant.
The participant dubiously looked down and saw that the pictures were all blueprints.
However, each picture was split into two parts, so there were two blueprints on each picture. Moreover, both
blueprints looked almost identical.
Technically, other than some minor details, they were exactly the same.
The participant's hands trembled when she saw the pictures.
She had seen the designs on the right of the pictures because they were Natalie's designs.
As a fan of Natalie Smith, she would, of course, find out about all the works Natalie made. In other words, she was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwell-versed in Natalie's works.
If the ones on the right are Ms. Smith's, then what about the ones on the left?
Seemingly reading the participant's mind, Lucy folded her arms and sneered, “The ones on the left are your dear
Ms. Smith's, and the ones on the right are the works of a designer called MN. This designer has posted their work
on the internet a long time ago, and your dear Ms. Smith's works were published later on. Therefore, can you still
say she isn't plagiarizing?”
When the participant heard that, her eyes widened, and her hands trembled even harder.
Evidently, she was starting to doubt herself.
However, the admiration she had for Natalie still made her choose to defend Natalie. She said, “I don't believe
that's real. Everyone can see how gifted Ms. Smith is, so there's no way she's plagiarizing. Moreover, you said that
Ms. Smith is plagiarizing MN, so why don't you tell me who MN is first? If Ms. Smith is plagiarizing her, it means that
MN must be someone impressive too. How can no one have ever heard of her? Won't she show her works to the
rest of the world? I haven't heard of her, and I've never seen her works before. What evidence do you have to say
that Ms. Smith is plagiarizing her? If you insist she's plagiarizing, why don't you contact this MN and ask her to speak
for herself?”
Lucy paled when she heard what the participant said.
Contact MN?
Lucy wished she could. If the original designer of the works were to step up and tell the others that Natalie was
copying them, Natalie would not even get a chance to defend herself.
However, Lucy did not dare to contact MN herself.
It was because she herself had copied MN's works as well.
The participant chuckled gleefully at Lucy's silence. “I knew it. You don't have the guts to contact her, so that means
all this is fake. MN doesn't exist, and the supposed original works are copies that you've asked someone to create
and alter. Then, you used them to claim that Ms. Smith is plagiarizing someone else. You—”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I've already made everything clear, but you still refuse to believe me. Well then, I'll make you concede. I'll send
you a link, and you'll look at the webpage yourself before deciding whether or not I'm speaking the truth.” As she
spoke, Lucy tapped on her phone and sent a link to the participant.
The two of them were acquaintances, so it was nothing unusual for them to have each other's contact details.
The participant then dubiously took out her phone to see that Lucy had indeed sent her a link.
As anxiety seeped into her mind, she clicked on the link and saw MN's social media page.
Lucy curled her lips. “Scroll down, and you'll know whether or not I'm lying.”
The participant tightened her hold on the phone for a moment before scrolling down.
Initially, she did not believe that her favorite celebrity would plagiarize someone else's work, but the more she
scrolled, the deeper her heart sank.
Everything she saw was exactly what Lucy had said.
The participant knew Natalie the most—she knew every work Natalie had, including the published dates and the
market release dates.
MN had been the first to publish her work online before Natalie released hers, which were similar to the former's
designs.
