“These are the ten designs which Lucy used to enter the competition, and she was able to convince the reviewers.”
Someone nodded. “These are indeed advanced designs. If I'm a reviewer and I saw designs of such high standards,
I would certainly accept this participant and give her the opportunity to present herself even if she is not well-
known.”
“Me, too. I would certainly acknowledge such talent.”
These were comments from the more honest participants who appreciated talent.
As she listened to them, Natalie smiled knowingly and said, “These ten design drawings were uploaded by me on
the MN account and stolen by Lucy.”
“That's not right, Ms. Smith. We just looked at your homepage, but we don't see those designs.” Someone spoke out
of curiosity.
Natalie continued smiling. “That's because, after I found out that Lucy had stolen my designs, I immediately set
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthem to be visible only to myself. That way, I could catch her red-handed today.”
“How so?” Someone in the audience did not understand what she meant.
Natalie explained, “After discovering that Lucy had stolen my designs, I planned to find an opportunity to expose
her. In order not to set off the alarm, I deliberately hid these ten designs, so that she would not find them online
anymore. When she could no longer see the designs she had stolen, she would be relieved, thinking that I had
deleted them, so she wouldn't have to worry about other people seeing the designs and suspecting her of stealing
ideas from other designers.”
“Oh, I see.” The crowd nodded.
Lucy glared at Natalie with bloodshot eyes. She gritted her teeth as if furious enough to swallow Natalie alive. “You
set a trap for me!”
Natalie sneered, “Did I? I'm sorry, I don't have the patience or the mood to do so. To me, you are just an
insignificant person, and you do not deserve any attention from me. Your downfall today is your own doing, isn't it? I
didn't ask you to do it, did I? So what right do you have to say that I set you up? All in all, you destroyed yourself!”
Hearing this, Lucy's mind went blank for a moment, and she gaped speechlessly.
Am I not responsible for all that has happened today?
No one had asked her to do any of that. It was all her own doing.
So, there was no one she could blame.
However, she was unwilling to accept the fact that she had failed.
Lucy clenched her fists tighter and tighter. Finally, she grabbed a water bottle from the table and hurled it at
Natalie.
The sudden turn of events shocked everyone.
“Ms. Smith!”
“Nat!”
Natalie had not expected Lucy to lose control and attack her in a fit of rage.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe sat in her seat, too stunned to move.
Lucy was staring at Natalie with eyes full of hatred.
Since she had failed to defeat Natalie by accusing her of plagiarism and had ended up being sentenced to jail
instead, she might as well just bring Natalie down with her.
If she could harm Natalie before going to jail, it was worth her while.
I can't miss. Please hit her!
Lucy's face was hideous with twisted excitement as she watched the bottle fly toward Natalie.
She could imagine what it would be like when the bottle hit Natalie.
She would definitely be injured on the head and bloodied.
Of course, it would be better if she was disfigured.
“Nat, be careful!” However, no one knew what the future would bring. No one could foretell how an incident would
turn out before it had happened.
To Lucy, the bottle was flying straight toward Natalie's face and was just inches away from hitting her.
However, just a second before she was hit, a hand suddenly appeared before Natalie and caught the bottle firmly.
It was Natalie's bodyguard.
When Lucy saw the bottle miss Natalie and was caught by the bodyguard instead, she nearly went mad.
