I was careless. I didn't expect someone would attempt to destroy my reputation this way to force me out of the industry. Now that I've been caught up in this internet storm, it seems like I can't keep a low profile anymore. I'm sure Jessica, Rhonda, Caridee, and Janice are the ones who want to do me in. Now that a golden opportunity for them to do so has surfaced, there's no way they won't try to skin me alive. Bailey frowned.

Victoria's serious and worried voice came over the phone. “It doesn't matter who spread the news, Bay. Right now, there's no way you can handle this thing alone. Your design is pretty similar to the one Snowflake made four years ago. It can be judged as plagiarism in court.”

“The designs are different. I've made some changes to the original foundation and incorporated contemporary elements. The current one is much more mature than the one four years ago. It wasn't a half-hearted effort.”

Victoria sighed resignedly and chuckled. “Your focus is in the wrong place, Bay. No one is saying you were being lazy with the design you provided Caridee. Right now, everyone is convinced that you plagiarized Snowflake. That's what you should pay attention to. Tell me, did you really copy someone else's work?”

Just as Bailey was about to answer, her doorbell rang.

“Someone's knocking on the door. I'll go and take a look. Talk to you later.” After she finished her sentence, she went to open the door.

A few men and women in suits stood in front of her.

Her eyes narrowed. “Who are you lot?”

The man who stood at the front stepped forward and pulled out a card from his pocket before giving it to her. “Ms. Jefferson, we're members of Luther Group's legal department. We received a report saying that the design you made two days ago is suspected of plagiarism. Also, we've already contacted the person in charge of the Archulea branch, Mr. Rhoudin, and obtained his permission to halt your responsibilities temporarily.”

Bailey rubbed her eyebrows. If I tell them that I'm Snowflake right now and that I didn't copy anyone's work, they'll probably think I'm a delusional lunatic. I'm starting to regret not accepting the award back then. If I had the certificate to show them now, then this would've been a lot simpler.
