Chapter 144 It’s a Copy of Mine

The room fell silent as everyone present listened carefully. The recording sounded no different at first, but after

they pondered it, Nicole was just questioning whether the design belonged to Daniella, then warned her to withdraw

the lawsuit as soon as possible if she weren’t the actual owner.

Although it was also essentially asking for the withdrawal of the lawsuit, there was still a huge difference.

Daniella wrung her wrists nervously, but still stood firm and said, “This recording also shows that you asked me to

withdraw the lawsuit!”

Nicole pressed the pause button, then instead of looking at Daniella, she looked up at the judge.

“The recording I have is the complete version. In the recording, I didn’t threaten Daniella to withdraw the lawsuit,

but asked her not to falsely claim ownership of this design and sue me.”

“That design is mine! I didn’t steal it!” Daniella hurriedly assured when she heard Nicole’s statement.

The judge knocked the gavel once and demanded, “Silence!”

Daniella could only shut her mouth in frustration and let Nicole continue.

“So, the charge of me threatening her to withdraw the lawsuit is invalid.” Nicole spoke with reasoning and clarity.

Queenie, who was sitting at the side, gradually became solemn, and she tightly clenched her fists, not expecting

Nicole to have this trick up her sleeves.

“Even so, the fact that you committed plagiarism is still true. These two designs can be judged by professional

designers. It’s plagiarism!” Daniella immediately brought forth another piece of evidence.

Somehow, she felt guilty upon seeing how calm Nicole was.

After all, this wasn’t her design.

Seeing how panicked Daniella was, Nicole slightly narrowed her eyes and stated, “If this design really belongs to

you, Miss Daniella, then I did copy it, but it’s a pity that this design is not yours.”

As soon as Nicole said this, everyone was in an uproar. Wasn’t she admitting that her design was a copy?

“It turns out that she wasn’t wrongly accused. It’s really plagiarism!”

“Initially, I thought that the trial might be reversed since Lisa was so bold yesterday. I didn’t expect her to just admit

it!”

“Plagiarizing b*tch!”

“Silence! Silence!” The judge called out when he saw the commotion.

Everyone calmed down.

Queenie was a little puzzled as she stared at Nicole, who was in the stand. Isn’t she just seeking her own demise?

Now that they had brought the case to court, Daniella could only insist, “This design is mine!”

Nicole chuckled lightly, her eyes gleaming. “Then, please present evidence that shows this design is yours.”

Daniella immediately presented the evidence.

Unexpectedly, Queenie had actually helped Daniella make a document. It looked rather real, and it was almost no

different from what she had.

It seemed that they had put in a lot of effort.

“I have a question,” Nicole uttered after seeing the so-called evidence. She pointed to a point on the screen and

said, “At that time, the design was indeed sent by email, but it wasn’t signed as ‘anonymous’, but ‘June’!”

“What nonsense are you spewing? When I participated in the competition, I just wanted to give it a try, so I didn’t

sign it at all!” Daniella immediately retorted.

“This can be proved by a judge from that competition,” Nicole pointed out.

After that, someone actually brought the judge onto the stand.

When Queenie saw the judge coming onto the stand, her face changed instantly. At that time, she thought of

inviting the judge from back then to confirm Nicole’s plagiarism, but the judge had expressed her unwillingness to

get involved. She was only willing to post a certificate on the Internet to prove that Nicole’s design was similar to

that of the champion from that year.

Unexpectedly, Nicole had invited her over now.

The judge wasn’t very old. She was in her early fifties, but she maintained her appearance quite well, and she

seemed to have a decent temperament.

She appeared as a witness and stood there, then said, “I didn’t take a close enough look at that time. Later on, Miss

Lisa reminded me to check the email carefully, and I found that the signature was indeed ‘June’. The reason the

design was said to be anonymous was because the signature was written in the remarks column.”
