Chapter 45
Genevieve’s story was profoundly moving and closely tied to the design theme.
However, the question remained. Why did both of them present such remarkably similar works?
Kimberly addressed the matter casually, saying, “What are your thoughts on the designs by Whitney and Genevieve?”
Upon hearing Kimberly’s question, people started whispering to each other, speaking in hushed tones, uncertain about her true intentions.
The situation was straightforward. It involved two individuals; one representing the original designer and the other accused of plagiarism.
No one stepped forward to respond.
Kimberly’s gaze swept across the room.
Genevieve lowered her head, resembling a child who had misbehaved and was afraid of reprimand, while Whitney displayed her dominance, much like a proud peacock.
If Kimberly hadn’t seen Genevieve’s initial design draft during that late-night overtime, she wouldn’t have had much confidence in resolving the case.
‘To be fair, both works have their merits. Genevieve’s work excelled in storytelling. while Whitney’s work had a slight edge in detail handling, Kimberly pondered over the matter quietly.
However, Kimberly made her stance clear, asserting that she would undoubtedly provide an explanation to the original designer.
After the meeting, Frederick received Kimberly’s instructions and hurried to the technical department to retrieve the surveillance camera footage of the design. department over the relevant period.
They scrutinized it closely and, to their surprise, found a lapse in the surveillance. camera footage during a specific time frame.
Frederick inquired with the technical staff, who confirmed that the surveillance cameras had been operating smoothly without any power outages or malfunctions.
It became apparent that the company’s surveillance system, or more precisely, the design department’s surveillance system, had been tampered with.
Someone had deliberately altered the data for a specific time period.

Upon hearing that, Frederick sighed inwardly, realizing that trouble was brewing. It seemed the company was in need of a thorough reorganization.

The design department faced problems, and the technical department was also inevitably to blame. In such a large company, it was disconcerting that hackers had infiltrated without any noticeable response.
Upon receiving the news, Kimberly pondered for a moment before speaking, “I never expected that this person would put in so much effort. It’s no easy feat to infiltrate Larson Corporation. There must be someone on the inside providing assistance.”
However, the culprits were unaware that they were dealing with a true expert.
Kimberly rapidly entered a long string of code on the computer in the technical department.
Frederick, who stood nearby, was utterly bewildered and unable to comprehend what he was witnessing.
He had never imagined that Kimberly possessed such skills and thought to himself, ‘Such intrusion would certainly leave an average computer expert floundering, but for Kimberly, it was just the right challenge.
Soon, the maliciously deleted footage was restored.
Frederick stood there, staring at the computer screen, holding his breath.
Suddenly, a woman appeared in the footage, stealthily entering the design department.
It appeared to be after working hours, so the image was somewhat dim.
She approached an office table and took a seat.
Frederick couldn’t help but exclaim, “That’s Genevieve’s office table.”
Then, the woman turned on the computer at the office table and inserted a flash drive.
With a few clicks of the mouse, she then removed the flash drive and left.
The entire process took less than five minutes.
Initially, Frederick thought Genevieve was there to copy some files, but the more he observed, the more suspicious it seemed. The woman had a tall stature, easily over five feet eight inches, whereas Genevieve was only about five feet five inches.
“This person’s physique doesn’t look like Genevieve. She’s not that tall,’ he muttered to himself.

Frederick continued to gaze at the footage, carefully scrutinizing it. The woman deliberately wore a hat, obscuring her face from clear view.
After several adjustments, Frederick finally found an angle that revealed the truth and exclaimed, “Ms. Larson, this person is Whitney.”
In reality, Kimberly had recognized her at first glance.
She had been waiting for confirmation to substantiate her suspicions.
“I never expected she would do such a thing!” Frederick voiced his astonishment.
However, in Kimberly’s eyes, Whitney’s actions were not surprising.
Whitney had essentially backed herself into a corner when she boasted about her abilities.
Naturally, Kimberly was well aware of Whitney’s strong sense of pride.
‘She certainly wouldn’t want to submit an empty entry at the presentation. So, she was willing to take risks. Obviously, she must have been aware that her actions came with a significant risk of exposure, which is why she paid a substantial sum to hire a hacker to erase any traces, Kimberly reflected inwardly.
Whitney had miscalculated and underestimated Kimberly’s capabilities.
‘Whitney displayed keen judgment. Despite being a recent addition to the team, she recognized Genevieve as an up-and-coming talent. That explains why she and Genevieve had become closer recently. It was all calculated!’ Kimberly continued to contemplate.
The situation was undeniably complex.
After all, Whitney was Kimberly’s cousin.
However, Genevieve would bear the unjust accusation, which could lead to future ›lame if the investigation findings were not disclosed.
