By the time Silvia rushed to the hospital, it was already past 9 p.m.
Once she walked out of the elevator, she saw Dulcie and Ritaâs parents talking at the wardâs door.
She strode quickly over. âWhatâs going on? Why did Rita suddenly faint?â
Blakeâs eyes were filled with fury. Gritting his teeth, he said, âTonight, Rita suddenly received a black box parcel. We didnât think it would contain a dead rat with its stomach cut open. It even had a death threat next to it! She was overwhelmed with shock. The added stress from the people who kept messaging her online made her get too worked up, and she fainted. Fortunately, itâs nothing serious. But thanks for taking the trouble to come here.â
âIâm just glad sheâs okay. Rita is a member of MY Corporationâs staff. Also, she fainted this time because of the plagiarizing incident. I should come to visit.â
Blake sighed. He looked at Silvia and said, âMiss Pond, I know enough of the incident. Rita really didnât copy Perfiââ
Before he could finish his sentence, Silvia interrupted him softly, âMr. Williams, as Ritaâs father, you should understand just what sort of person she is.
I believe that she didnât plagiarize Perficientâs works, and I will definitely find the evidence to prove her innocence too!â
Seeing the determination in Silviaâs eyes, Blake nodded. âOkay, I believe you.â
They chatted for a bit more, and then Silvia and Dulcie left.
On the way back, Dulcie said, âAda is really such a shameless b*tch. Perficientâs staff obviously stole MY Corporationâs designs. And now they want to sue MY Corporation and Rita!â
âThereâs no use talking about this now. The most important thing is to find evidence to prove that Perficient plagiarized MY Corporation.â
Dulcie turned and looked back at her. She asked, âWhy do you trust Rita so much? Are you not worried that she really stole Perficientâs design?â
âThe clothing that Perficient sells overseas are not Ritaâs initial draft. They were amended versions that I requested of her first draft. Unless I copied Perficient too, thereâs no way Rita would have copied it.â
Shock flashed in Dulcieâs eyes. Then, she frowned, âOnce you check the people who had access to your revised design, youâll basically know who leaked the design.â
Silvia spoke calmly, âIâve asked Rita. She said she didnât let anyone see the design. On my end, except for the time I let Neil save the edited version, otherwise, no one has seen it.â

ï¤Chapter 20 When she heard this, Dulcie grabbed her hair in frustration. âNeil is your boyfriend; he wouldnât do something like this. But being accused of plagiarism will affect Ritaâs future in design. She could not possibly give her design to someone else on her own accord. We are going in circles here.â
Silvia smiled. âThere must be something we overlooked. You need to stay calm first. Iâve already asked someone to verify the photo of the draft that Perficient posted on Twitter. I believe we can get our answer soon.â
Dulcie nodded. âAll thatâs left is to wait for the results.â
Soon, the court summons arrived at MY Corporation.
Silvia immediately let the Legal Department handle the issue while she gathered the shareholders to discuss when they were going to start manufacturing their clothes after the launch of their new product.
Soon after the meeting started, Sigwald said while smiling gleefully, âMiss Pond, these clothes are now deep in a plagiarism scandal. Arenât you rushing things to prepare them for mass production? If MY corporation loses the lawsuit, then we canât recover our capital from manufacturing the clothes.â
Silvia looked at Sigwald. She said calmly, âYou can rest easy. MY Corporation will not lose the case.â
âYou seem quite confident. If MY Corporation only consists of you alone, then you can do whatever you want. But now, every decision you make will affect our profit as shareholders. So, we have to be cautious.â
The meeting fell into silence. Even though the other shareholders did not say anything, Silvia knew clearly that they agreed with what Sigwald said.
She nodded. âYou make a point there too. Then, based on what you said, if we arenât preparing for manufacturing, what should we do next?â
Sigwald did not expect Silvia to agree with what he said. Immediately, his guard went up.
