Everyone fell silent after browsing MN's social media account.
That was because everything Lucy said was true. MN's designs were indeed posted before Natalie published her
works.
As such, it seemed as if Natalie had indeed plagiarized MN's designs.
Lucy was extremely pleased when she saw the crowd's reaction. Pointing at Natalie, she said, “Ms. Smith, since
everyone had already seen the evidence, would you like to explain yourself?”
“Exactly, Ms. Smith. Aren't you going to admit that you've plagiarized someone else's designs?”
“Yeah! How can you be so shameless!”
“You were my idol! I can't believe you are actually a plagiarist!”
Faced with the barrage of criticisms from the crowd, Natalie remained composed as she put down her coffee cup.
Then, she picked up the microphone and stood up.
When everyone saw her doing that, they knew that she was going to speak and quietened down at once.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalie flashed a smile at the crowd before saying, “I never knew that using my own designs would be considered
plagiarism.”
Although she spoke softly and in a casual manner, everyone heard her, and an uproar broke out among the crowd.
“Did you hear that? Ms. Smith said that she had used her own designs.”
“I heard it. Does Ms. Smith mean that the designs which Lucy had accused her of plagiarizing belong to her, too?”
“That's quite unlikely. If it's really Ms. Smith's own works, why would they appear on MN's social media?”
Everyone was confused.
Meanwhile, Lucy's expression had completely changed as she looked at Natalie in disbelief.
Did she just say that those designs are her own and it wasn't someone else's designs that she had used?
How is that possible?
That's impossible!
Yup! This can't be true!
Lucy did not believe that such a coincidence existed in the world. After taking in a deep inhale, she said calmly, “Ms.
Smith, I had already expected that you wouldn't admit to it. After all, no one would, because your reputation would
go down the drain once you admit to plagiarizing someone else's works. However, even if that's the case, I don't
think you should claim ownership of MN's designs. After all, you are not MN.”
“Since I made that claim, naturally, I would be able to produce evidence. Just like you said, I am indeed MN,” Natalie
said with a faint smile on her face before continuing, “Probably no one here knows what 'MN' stands for. I shall
explain that. 'MN' is the short form for Mina. I'm sure everyone has heard of Mina, an extremely talented young
designer who had made waves in the design world one year back.”
“Yup, that's right.” Everyone nodded.
“However, Mina had suddenly disappeared after just a short while. Some people guessed that she had retired, but
the fact is, Mina did not retire. Instead, she had returned to her home country and started from scratch using her
real name. Actually, I am Mina!” Natalie patted her chest and said.
Everyone was shocked when they heard that.
“What? Ms. Smith is Mina?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“That's what she said.”
“That's quite far-fetched, isn't it? If she's really Mina, why wouldn't she continue to use that name? After all, Mina
was already rather famous. Why would she give up on all that she had built and start all over again?”
“I don't know. But if what she said is true, I would admire her even more. After all, not everyone can put everything
behind them and start all over again, especially when she was already quite well-known in the industry.”
“Exactly.”
When Lucy heard the discussions that were going on among the crowd, her expression darkened.
It was clear to her what Natalie was talking about.
Natalie had claimed that MN was Mina, the young designer who had made waves in the industry a year ago, and
that Mina was actually Natalie herself!
That meant that Natalie had never plagiarized anyone's designs, and the designs which she had used were actually
her own!
How is that even possible!
Lucy turned pale and her body started trembling.
She refused to believe what Natalie had said.
After all, it wasn't easy for her to find dirt on Natalie, and there was no way she would accept that it was all a
misunderstanding and let go of such a perfect opportunity to get rid of the woman!
