Did Ms. Smith really copy her work?
The horrifying realization made the participant tremble all over.
No, this can't be. How can Ms. Smith copy someone else? She's so talented!
Furthermore, the participant herself had watched Natalie's competition in the past. She had also seen Natalie's
design on the spot. Something as beautiful as her pieces could not have been a work of plagiarism.
Therefore, she still did not want to believe that Natalie had plagiarized.
Yet, MN was indeed the one who published the works online first.
The participant bit her lip, unsure as to what she should do next.
Lucy grinned when she saw the participant hanging her head and looking disappointed. “What's the matter? Now
you know I'm not lying to you, right? Natalie Smith, whom you've been admiring, is nothing but a plagiarizing
recidivist!”
“Nonsense!” the participant hissed, her eyes bloodshot. “Ms. Smith won't plagiarize anyone. That's impossible! It's
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttrue that MN published this first, but Ms. Smith is popular. There's no way MN wouldn't know about her. Do you think
she won't kick up a fuss if she sees that Ms. Smith has copied her work?”
After all, if her designs were the ones stolen, and if the one who stole her design became famous and rich, she
would certainly skin the other alive. Moreover, she would definitely make them pay a painful price for their theft.
Therefore, it was strange that MN had yet to kick up a fuss if Natalie had truly been plagiarizing for such a long
time.
However, Lucy said, “What if Natalie threatened her and stopped her from kicking up any fuss? Don't you forget
what kind of status Natalie has. With her identity, doing something like that is just a piece of cake.”
“I...” The participant was at a loss for words as her face turned pale.
Lucy scoffed before picking up the pictures. When she turned to stare at Natalie, who was sitting on the judging
panel, she narrowed her eyes.
Right then, the competition began. The host went up onto the stage with the microphone, about to announce the
theme for the round.
All of a sudden, Lucy rose to her feet. “Wait a minute.”
The moment she spoke, the venue fell silent, and everyone turned to her.
The host frowned, clearly upset with how Lucy had just interrupted him. However, he still asked, “Miss, did
something happen?”
“I'd like to report someone!” Lucy uttered.
A commotion stirred among the audience at her declaration.
After all, eighty percent of the crowd were designers.
If Lucy was about to report someone, chances were that she was reporting a designer.
What could one possibly report a designer for?
The most common answers would be plagiarism and bribery.
Therefore, the hearts of some designers with ill intentions lurched, and their faces paled.
Lina frowned and turned to Natalie. “Say, do you think she's coming for us now?”
“Possibly.” Natalie narrowed her eyes. “Don't forget about what she said to us before coming in here. Moreover, I'm
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe one who she hates the most here. Therefore, the one she's trying to report on should be me.”
“But what is there about you for her to report?” Lina wondered, confused.
Natalie shook her head. “I don't know. I'm thinking about what I could've possibly done wrong as well, but I can't
come up with anything. So, I'd like to know what she's about to say next.”
Natalie felt that she had not done anything wrong, so she was not afraid even if Lucy really was trying to report on
her.
Meanwhile, the host was looking at Lucy. “Did you say that you're going to report someone?”
“Yes. I'm going to report someone for plagiarizing!” Lucy loudly announced as she lifted her chin.
Everyone present gasped upon hearing that.
Even the host's expression turned grave.
Plagiarism was a sensitive term in the design industry.
Everyone at the scene were from the design industry, and the kind of people they hated the most were people who
plagiarized.
At the same time, things would go south for the organizers if they were to let someone who plagiarized join the
competition.
