“It’s just that with so many people watching today, I’d better convince you of my innocence,” Vania said
while motioning to the staff member at the scene to link her cell phone to the big screen as well. Then,
she called up a folder on her cell phone and opened it.
The folder contained dozens of files, but Vania only opened three of them randomly. The three files
were her manuscript and its revised versions, where every detail was marked and introduced in detail,
and every term’s source and references were specified. This was something that no ordinary ad design
could’ve done.
One of the netizens commented, ‘Now I know the difference in capabilities between me and a pro at
last. She even analyzed the commonly used words in detail and made a clear comparison of them
before selecting the best one.’
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnother netizen commented, ‘If Vania did plagiarize from Mr. Wright, she’s got to copy all his files,
right?’
‘Just how did Melanie come to the conclusion that Vania had plagiarized someone else’s work? What
she did was so baffling. Won’t it be self-destruction if she lacks sufficient evidence?’
‘Could it be that Melanie still has some hidden card up her sleeve?’
Panicked, Melanie gulped a mouthful of saliva while looking at these files in disbelief. At this very
moment, she was somewhat afraid. Hanson is still here. If I can’t bring Vania down, how am I gonna
wind this up? Resorting to lame arguments, she said, “Who can prove that you made these files?
Maybe you copied all of Mr. Wright’s files.”
Vania nodded in agreement. “You’re right, but I’ve got a question for you. You’re so sure that the
creative concept for this ad came from Mr. Wright, so do you know him in person? You can’t say you
know him based on him blocking you on WhatsApp and an out-of-service number, can you?”
Melanie felt guilty upon being asked. “Does it matter whether I know him personally or not?”
“Of course it does.” Vania’s tone of voice became much sterner now. “Since you can’t show any
concrete proof so far, I seriously suspect that you’ve been duped. And besides, I’m also suspecting you
of selling my personal information, which I’m gonna hold you legally responsible for. Let’s report this to
the police together. Perhaps the police can help you investigate how you got duped.”
Upon hearing Vania suggest that they go to the police, Melanie instantly got nervous. “Are you trying to
oppress me with your clout? You’ve got no way of proving that these files are yours. What gives you
the right to accuse me of selling your personal information? The way I see it, I’m the one who should
call the police. There’s hard evidence that you plagiarized someone else’s work and threatened a
citizen who was trying to report it to the authorities.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVania sneered. “If there’s hard evidence like you said, shouldn’t you get Mr. Wright here? Since you’re
defending his rights, I believe he must be willing to prove the truth of this matter. Don’t tell me you
actually don’t know him personally.”
Melanie straightened up her neck. “Who said that I don’t know him personally?”
Vania dared her, “Alright then, just call Mr. Wright now. Either giving him a video call or getting him here
is fine by me; I’m okay even if we have to go to him.”
Melanie could tell from Vania’s uncompromising attitude that the latter was going to fight her to the end.
Could I really have bought false information? Are these files not Mr. Wright’s at all? In that case, how
am I supposed to find him now? Isn’t that out of the question? She made up an excuse. “Mr. Wright
prefers not to show himself.”
It was right of her to say this. Indeed, Mr. Wright had never shown his face in public since his debut in
the industry.
Vania gave her another suggestion. “In that case, you can get Mr. Wright’s assistant here too. His
assistant has appeared before the public before and was present during many business meetings that
had to be done face to face.”
