Chapter 2165
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Maisie directly exposed Laura without considering her feelings.
Lauraâs and Bill's faces froze at the same time.
Their expressions seemed very unnatural.
Meanwhile, Mr.Lowe was very calm.
Moreover, there was also an elegant and warm smile on his face.
ââDid you just say that this design was plagiarized? Do you have any proof?"
"Mr.Lowe is right."
Bill hurriedly interjected, turning his head to glare at Maisie with a dark expression on his face.
"Maisie, donât slander others.Laura came up with this design with great effort.What evidence do you have to say that she plagiarized it? Besides, Ava has been busy dating for a while now.She hasnât been able to concentrate on her work at all.In addition to that, her work level has plummeted recently and her designs are a mess.How could Laura have plagiarized her work?"
"Iâm not slandering her, and Iâm not talking nonsense."
Maisie's reaction was also very calm.
Then, she looked at Bill, who was hinting at her to shut up.
"Ava came up with this design first.She even showed it to you but you rejected it, Mr.Branson.After that, Ava felt that the design wasnât perfect, so she deleted it.I was there when she deleted it so Iâm the best witness."
Bill and Laura breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Maisie say that Ava had deleted her design.
"Maisie, you said that youâre a witness, but everyone knows that Ava is your friend.You guys are the closest to each other in the office, so you can't be a witness at all."
After Bill finished speaking, the other colleagues around them also chimed in.
"Yeah, Maisie.We all know that youâre the closest to Ava.How can we use what you say as evidence?"
"That's right.What Mr.Branson said is also true.Recently, Ava hasnât been focusing on her work because sheâs in a relationship.Letâs just talk about what happened this afternoon.She bought all of us coffee before we finished our work.I couldnât even concentrate on my work anymore after that."
After hearing what the female colleague on the side said, Maisie suddenly flew into a fit of rage despite her initial calmness.
"Fiona, you didnât say that when Ava brought you the coffee.Besides, I remember that you were watching TV shows on your computer at the time.
You even said Ava came just in time while you were enjoying yourself."
â..."
Fiona's cheeks flushed in embarrassment.
"Maisie Davenport, don't talk nonsense!"
"Iâm telling the truth!"
Maisie finished saying that decisively.
Then, she looked into Mr.Loweâs inquisitive eyes righteously.
"Mr.Lowe, Iâm telling you the truth.You have to believe me."
After Mr.Lowe heard that, he nodded pensively.It seemed that he agreed with what Maisie said.
Laura saw this at the side.She immediately felt nervous, so she quickly went to Mr.Lowe to explain herself.
"Mr.Lowe, this design was based on my own creativity.I didnât plagiarize anyoneâs work, unlike what Maisie said."
After Laura said that, she looked at Maisie aggrievedly.
"Maisie, I know youâre close to Ava but you canât slander me because of that.If you can prove that I plagiarized her work, then Iâll have nothing to say.If you donât have proof, I want you to apologize to me immediately."
Laura requested solemnly.
"Alright, just you wait!"
Maisie was not scared of this confrontation.
"I'll call Ava now.Iâm sure she has a backup of that design.Weâll just take a look at the time the designs were created and weâll know whoâs lying!"
Maisie grabbed her phone to call Ava after that.When Laura and Bill saw this, their hearts skipped a beat.
