It was an interview conducted by the most authoritative daily newspaper reporter in Center City with Professor Ethan, who was from the University of Center City.

During the interview, the reporter asked Ethan, “Mr. Blake, the Linsey Group’s plagiarism incident caused a lot of discussion among netizens about the authenticity of the sketches. Here, we would like to ask you about this matter. What is your impression of Ophelia? Do you think she would plagiarize someone else’s work?”

“No, I don’t think she would.” Ethan gave an objective response with a positive evaluation. “Ophelia was a student I taught. She excelled in ‘both academics and character and showed respect for her teachers. I have a deep impression of her.”

Upon watching this, the audience unquestionably believed in Ophelia, because even her mentor testified for her.

“Alright. Now let’s invite Mr. Blake to identify whether the handwriting in the two original sketches in the plagiarizéd news belongs to Ophelia.”

Ethan looked at the comparison picture on the screen and shook his head, “I checked it before, and the handwriting in both of the original sketches is not Ophelia’s.

“Are you sure?” the reporter asked.

“I am very sure about it. She was my student. I can definitely recognize her handwriting.”

Ethan’s frank statement caused a commotion among the audience here.

He actually said that neither of the two sketches in the news was Ophelia’s handwriting.

It seemed like a slap in his face because he had made a previous good evaluation of Ophelia.

Ophelia insisted that the original sketches were hers, but the professor could tell at a glance that it was not her handwriting. This was even more convincing than having an authoritative handwriting expert authenticate it.

After all, Ethan was Ophelia’s mentor and had been guiding her throughout her entire university experience. His words were absolutely convincing.

“Everyone, I believe you can see that Miss Ophelia’s handwriting and that in the sketches are completely different. So, I hope the Linsey Group can provide a reasonable explanation for the plagiarism incident.”

Those who had previously supported Ophelia and the Linsey Group were now heavily criticizing them.

“Shame on you, the Linsey Group! You plagiarized Nyx. How dare you still challenge the original creator? How brazen you are!”

“The most shameless one is Ophelia. She has not had a single original idea, yet she still has the audacity to hold a personal exhibition.”

“Go to hell, you thief! Get out of the design industry!”

“We misunderstood Nyx. Nyx was the one who got plagiarized. We should support her.”

The number of comments was really large and they were harsh.

Ophelia and the staff of the Linsey Group all felt the backlash from the internet.

The netizens not only criticized them. Some attentive netizens had even compared Ophelia’s design series from the past few years with Nyx’s design series that were applied for design patents abroad and found that they were almost similar.

In other words, the so-called exclusive designs by the Linsey Group in recent years were all copied from Nyx’s works by Ophelia.

She just made some modifications, changed the appearance, and turned them into her own designs.

Such plagiarism could be considered one of the most shameless examples in plagiarism history.

The Linsey Group’s official website crashed because of the large amount of curses, and media reporters were all crowded at the gate of the Linsey Group, making it impossible for one to move.

Ophelia dare not go out and cried in a state of panic. It seemed that everyone give her a strike when she went downhill. There were moré and more negative rumors about her on the internet.

Some even dug up her background, saying that Ophelia’s mother, the homewrecker, married Gary just less than half a year after his original wife had passed away. Cecelia was only a year older than Ophelia.

It meant that Ophelia was born from Gary’s extramarital affair with Heather, the mistress.

It seemed creepy when one thought about it.

The internet troll then criticized Gary and Heather, the shameless old couple.

“The Linseys are really a bunch of terrible people.”

“How can Gary have the nerve to pretend to be a good guy? Doesn’t he feel ashamed?”

“Heather is no better. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been a

homewrecker. She actually gave birth to a daughter for her lover and even married him with another child. What a shameless bit ch!”

The Linseys’ reputation was completely ruined, but it was still not the most serious influence on them.

Rather, the impact this plagiarism incident had on the Linsey Group was fatal.

The Linsey Group’s stock plummeted straight from yesterday’s peak to the bottom today.

The Linsey Group had no choice but to issue an apology letter to the public in order to maintain its image. They admitted that they had plagiarized, expressed sincere apologies to Nyx, and promised to compensate according to the lawyer’s requirements.

Upton excitedly told Cecelia about the outcome of the situation in the president’s office of the LC Group.

“Boss, which bigwig is helping us? He actually contacted your former mentor Ethan. His words are even more convincing than the police’s investigation. Nice try! Awesome!”

Seeing that the Linsey Group suffered from a backlash, Cecelia was pleased.

Although she didn’t know who had helped them secretly, that person’s assistance did save them a lot of trouble.

“Upton, how are the Linsey Group’s stocks now?” asked Cecelia.

“Overnight, they plummeted straight to the bottom and have already hit the limit down.”

“Excellent!”

Cecelia was very satisfied with this result, and her next focus was to regain control of the Done Group!

After leaving the LC Group, she was preparing to go back, but she

received a call from Ariella.

“Cecelita, come over quickly! There’s an emergency.”

After answering the phone call from Ariella, Cecelia rushed over immediately, wondering what had happened to Ariella.
