“Everything is already being exposed on the internet even with the comparison pictures as evidence. Why isn’t it impossible?”
The criticism from the crowd increased. Ophelia had just been describing her design principle with great pride, but the next moment, she was slapped in the face.
She took out her phone and Sean and Harry quickly followed suit, searching for news on their phones.
The news didn’t need to be searched for, as it was already sitting atop major news websites as the top trending topic, very eye- catching.

They clicked on the article and found that it stated Ophelia’s designs for the current season had all been copied from the early works of the renowned international designer, Nyx.
In the comparison pictures, one side was Ophelia’s work, and the other was Nyx’s work which had been published three years ago. With just one look at the styling and design, one could easily find that Ophelia had copied Nyx’s work.
“Impossible! How could Nyx have designs like these?” Ophelia did not believe that she had plagiarized Nyx’s works and wanted to argue.
However, a harsh reporter chimed in, saying, “Miss Ophelia, we’ve checked it. Although Nyx’s works were not popular three years ago, she filed a patent application for them. You stole her designs, made some slight modifications, called it the Linsey Group’s popular main lines for this year, and fooled the public. I don’t think this is what an original designer should do. How do you explain this?”
The reporter’s words were sharp, and the live audience was waiting for Ophelia’s response.
A brand new product promotion press conference had become a scandalous conference.
After Gary, Sean, and Harry read the article, they couldn’t say anything to refute it because they all knew that Nyx was Cecelia.
The sudden news regarding Nyx was bound to make them think that
Sean and Harry both looked at each other and believed that Cecelia had done it.
Gary’s face darkened in anger but there was nothing he could do

now.
Ophelia was extremely anxious, as there wasn’t even a public relations team there. She had no choice but to argue on her own.

“No, I didn’t copy her works. They are all my own designs. I came up. with ideas myself.”
“Miss Linsey, do you really think we are all blind? Everything has been exposed online. You say it’s your design. Do you have any evidence to support your claim?” The reporter pressed her.
“I have the original sketches. I have the sketches for all these designs. Please just wait a minute. I’ll have them brought over right. away.” Ophelia had her a**istant retrieve the old sketchbook from her office drawer in order to prove that her designs were her own. creations.
Soon enough, the sketchbook was brought over, and Ophelia began to flip through the pages to show the reporters. “You all can take a closer look. These are all my sketches. How could I have copied any designs from Nyx? Furthermore, I haven’t even had a look at Nyx’s earlier works. Any resemblance is purely coincidental.”
After the sketches were shown, the reporters started to believe her a little.
“Miss Ophelia, although you have provided evidence, we can’t help you promote The Linsey Group’s new products until this plagiarism incident is cleared up. Please contact us again when you have stronger evidence.
One reporter left, and the rest soon followed.
The press conference that was supposed to be great had turned out to be nothing but a disaster.
Only a few people from The Linsey Group were left behind.
Ophelia had messed everything up and she looked at her father with resentment.
Gary asked her, “What’s going on? You designed those clothes yourself, didn’t you?”
Only Ophelia knew she had stolen Cecelia’s sketchbook, and event Sean had no clue about it.
When faced with questioning, she had to steel herself, insisting. “Yes, I designed it’myself.”
“Good. Everything will be fine if you designed them yourself, Give me the sketches and I’ll arrange for the PR team to handle the

Gary took the sketchbook and Harry comforted, “Ollie, don’t worry! This is definitely Cecelia’s conspiracy. We won’t let her succeed.” Sean also rea**ured her, “That’s right. Ollie, we all believe in you. Everything will be fine.”
Shortly after the Linsey Group’s new product launch press
conference, the PR team posted an article to clarify the plagiarism incident.

They presented a set of original sketches as evidence of Ophelia’s design works.
Netizens clearly took the Linsey Group’s side after checking the sketches.
Public opinion began to shift, and the netizens who had previously criticized Ophelia as a plagiarist and called for her to be expelled from the design industry began to change their attitudes.
They left messages expressing their support for the national original designs and for Ophelia.
“I don’t think Ophelia was a plagiarist. She has the sketchbook.”
“Maybe it’s just a coincidence that she and Nyx designed something of the same style.”
“I support the national original design.”
“I support Ophelia.”
PR team’s post had worked, and Ophelia silently breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the netizens beginning to take her side.
She thought to herself, “Yes, Cecelia had filed patent applications for her works abroad, but so what? As long as I have the sketches, they are my works.”
Meanwhile, the LC Group’s PR team, arranged by Upton, was preparing to give the Linsey Group a second strike.
After the Linsey Group posted the sketches online, it caused an uproar online.
