CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1449

Hearing that, Lucy could not fathom why her heart skipped a beat. At the same time, her initial persistence in reporting Natalie was shaken, and she began to waver.

However, when she caught sight of the stack of pictures on the table, her confidence was buoyed up again.

She immediately encouraged herself. Lucy Rivers, you must not be swayed by the host's words. Since Natalie Smith is at such a high status after gaining fame, he'll surely take her side. Thus, he had purposely said so to sway your determination, hoping you won't report her. You mustn't give in to them and let them have their way. After all, you're doing the design industry a favor by exposing a recidivist involved in plagiarism. You shouldn't be unnerved by them.

After reassuring herself, she gazed at the host and nodded resolutely. “Yes. I've thought it through, and I'm determined to report her. As a designer, I feel I must do something to curb this unhealthy trend of plagiarism. Apart from that, I can't let a plagiarist be our mentor. It's indeed a humiliation for us. Thus, I must report her!”

At the same time, she pointed at Natalie again.

Some participants who disliked Natalie did not doubt Lucy's words. They echoed right away.

“She has a point. How could a plagiarist deserve to be our judge and mentor? She shouldn't be globally known as one of the ultimate geniuses and fabled designers either.”

“Yeah! She doesn't deserve that!”

The others, however, took Natalie's side and spoke up for her.

The particular participant, the devoted fan who confronted Lucy earlier on behalf of Natalie, stood up at once. “Mind your words. It's impossible for Ms. Smith to plagiarize. I'm convinced that she didn't do so.”

At the same time, she gazed at Natalie with a look of confidence and also pleading in her eyes.

She believed that Natalie was never involved in plagiarism, but at the same time, she hoped Natalie would tell her the truth and convince her that she was right. At that moment, she hoped her beloved designer would not let her down.

Seeing that, Lina could not resist heaving a sigh as she commented, “Nat, I'm impressed by your devoted fan. She still trusts you even under this circumstance.”

Natalie chuckled and nodded. “Yeah! She's undoubtedly an amazing young lady. I bet everyone in a similar situation like me now will certainly feel touched when someone steps forward to speak up for them. I'm impressed, too.”

With that, she beamed at the young lady and mouthed some words to her.

The participant caught sight of Natalie's charming smile and knew what she meant right away. In an instant, a smile broke out on her face.

Ms. Smith responds to me! She thanks me for trusting her and reassures me that she won't let me down. Ah! So she didn't plagiarize, did she? The participant smiled blissfully. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Meanwhile, the host's face fell at the sight of the participants in heated arguments. Tightening his grip on the microphone, he raised his voice. “Enough of that! Quiet, please! Where are all your manners? What do you think this place is? Is it a market? My goodness! I can't believe you're all young and talented designers from different countries. You're now as noisy as brass!”

Hearing that, all the participants zipped their mouths.

After everyone quietened down, the host fastened his cold gaze on Lucy's face once again. “Since you claim that Ms. Smith is a plagiarist, do you have any evidence? If you don't have any, I'll call the police

to take you away.”

“Of course, I have the evidence. That's why I dare to make such a statement.” Lucy laughed triumphantly and pointed at the stack of pictures on the table in front of her. “These pictures are the concrete evidence. They show Natalie Smith's plagiarized designs and the designer's original ones side by side. I'm sure you'll know whether I'm telling the truth after having a look!”

Whipped up by her words, everyone rose to their feet.

“Oh my! I have no choice but to believe that Ms. Smith is a plagiarist. She has disclosed concrete evidence!”

“Me too.”

“No way! I still don't believe it. I've seen Ms. Smith's talent with my own eyes. She couldn't have plagiarized anyone's designs.”

“You're right!”

Some participants started to take Lucy's side, believing that Natalie was involved in plagiarism. On the other hand, others claimed that their stance remained the same. They were convinced that Natalie would never plagiarize.
