“Adriana, you’d better explain yourself. Don’t drag down the entire fanon Crops architecture design department with you! If this gets out, how is the Barton Group wyyout to survive in this industry?” The Barton Group executives were losing the comme
If Danielle had accused her in private, they might have found a way to contain the fal But with so many reporters and industry leaders present, there was no way for the Barton Group to cover up for Adriana.
“Plagiarized?” Adriana let out a soft laugh.
Her calmness rattled Danielle even more. She scowled, angry and anxious. “Adriana, you’re a rookie. It’s fine if your work isn’t perfect–there’s still room to grow. There’s no need to ruin your reputation with plagiarism. Even Grandpa would feel ashamed of you.”
“Grandpa wouldn’t feel ashamed of me. He’d just hate you and your leech of a father even more.” Adriana stood and glanced at Kenneth.
Kenneth nodded and plugged a flash drive into the judge’s computer.
“Ms. Danielle was so confident–she stole the draft from someone else’s computer and the original sketches but never bothered to double–check them.” Adriana’s lips curled into a faint smile.
She’d put out all those red herrings just to set up this moment.
Her goal was to make Danielle panic so she would keep the original draft for so long but never dare change or analyze it.
Danielle was so scared she’d lose to the original or that she couldn’t destroy Adriana completely.
Adriana had seen right through that vicious streak.
“Even setting aside the fact that I published the original draft on Pastalia’s competition platform a year ago, I completed the rough sketch with my advisor’s guidance, and the whole process was recorded on video. And…” Adriana smiled, “my advisor also taught me to protect my intellectual property with a hidden ancient combination lock system in the drawings themselves.”

Adriana found the coded numbers in the enlarged charcoal sketch.

“This is a tic–tac–toe code–when the numbers are converted, they spell out my initials Adriana’s smile didn’t waver.
Everyone stared at the big screen, shocked as the numbers appeared–sure enough, they were her initials.
The room went silent. Danielle’s face was whiter than a sheet.
She sucked in a sharp breath and didn’t recover for a long time.
The evidence was overwhelming. Danielle had no way out.
Adriana’s counterattack had left her totally blank
Savannah’s eyelid started to twitch in anger, while Chandler’s face went dark as soot.
“The original creator is Adriana!” Denton stood up, leading the applause. “Plagiarism is shameful. You people are truly disgraceful.”
“Exactly, so Danielle was the real plagiarist.”
The whole crowd broke out into noisy discussion. Some pitied Danielle, while others found her disgusting.
For someone at Danielle’s level to get caught plagiarizing like this meant she’d be blacklisted from the industry forever.
The Barton Group executives were also stunned, exchanging looks.
Chandler’s cronies were too scared to say a word.
With Danielle exposed as a plagiarist, she and Chandler weren’t just disgraced–they were finished. If anyone stood up for them now, they’d be idiots.
Everyone was quick to show their loyalty. “We never expected Ms. Nicole to be so talented. Mr. Barton can finally rest in peace.”
“Right, who would have thought Ms. Nicole would outshine Danielle by so much? She’s the real champion.”
Adriana accepted their flattery with a cool smile. In the face of personal interests, these people could turn on a dime.
But she was mature enough now to say the right thing to the right face and not take any of it to heart.

“Adriana!” Danielle was shaking all over. She kept her head down for a long time before looking to Justin for help.
Justin just stayed where he was, watching the drama play out.
“Danielle, you and Chandler have been rotten to the core from the start.” Marcus snorted, making it clear the Gills were siding with Adriana for good.
Danielle and Savannah usually didn’t care what Marcus or Maya thought, because the Gills were still run by their father and Maggie.
But in this moment, Marcus’s words hit like a tidal wave.
