With Henrik’s cold eyes fixed on him, Eric felt powerless to fight back. “I confess. I stole your research and plagiarized it. But I honestly didn’t know it belonged to you. I found a research notebook at the Evans family’s. Sloane claimed it was hers and offered to let me use it. I even poured significant resources into completing the project.”

Eric’s voice grew stronger, though every word felt like a blade slicing through his pride. He could feel his heart shattering as his arrogance and self-respect dissolved in an instant.
