Overnight, the internet exploded.
On one hand, Yvonne and the Mat Corporation cleared their grievances and embarked on their first collaboration. The Mat Corporation bought Yvonne’s design ‘Dream Back’ from three years ago, making it the company’s top jewelry piece for the next quarter.
On the other hand, although Zara Woods did not win the championship, her work with Yvonne’s disciple Jason would soon be produced and sold as the main product of Bright Day.
As for the last thing…
Xaviera Evans was woken up by a noisy ringtone in the early morning.
Xenia Jaak’s worried voice ca through the phone: “What’s going on? You’re still in the mood to sleep! Jason… and Zara Woods are going to sue you!”
Xaviera was still groggy, her mind in chaos.
Xenia gritted her teeth angrily: “Jason said your championship-winning piece in the competition was plagiarized from his previous design, and he wants to sue you! How can he have such confidence! If he could have designed such a perfect piece, he wouldn’t have lost the competition!”
Xaviera’s eyes gradually cleared up.
Things had beco interesting. She hasn’t even dealt with Zara and Jason yet, and they were trying to bite back first?
Xaviera logged into her account and saw a bunch of ssages in her inbox.
She clicked on Jason’s Twitter, and her brow furrowed involuntarily.
There were two photos on his Twitter – one was a design sketch provided by Jason, the other was the jewelry designed by Xaviera in the competition. Both photos had many similarities regarding their design concept and color the.
Jason’s design sketch was published in the International Design Record magazine, and it was published three years ago.
Jason added a caption to the picture—
[At first, I wasn’t satisfied with this design. But the person in charge of the International Design Record approached , hoping that I could publish a design sketch. So I handed in my recently completed design. Probably because the magazine wasn’t well-known, many people hadn’t seen it, giving Miss Evans an opportunity.]
[But coincidentally, I participated in the competition as well. The mont I saw that piece, I felt it was familiar. After going back and thinking about it, I decided to reveal the truth. I hope the organizers can take away Miss Evans’ trophy because her work was plagiarized, and she doesn’t deserve to be the champion!]
Xenia worriedly asked: “Xaviera, just because he has a sketch, he claims that you plagiarized. Who knows if he published that three years ago!”
“Yes.” Xaviera answered calmly: “I’ve checked. The person in charge of the International Design Record did accept his sketch three years ago.”
Xenia asked anxiously: “So what… ”
“But this design sketch was drawn by four years ago.”
Xaviera said with a aningful smile: “Although I haven’t published it anywhere, I can prove that the design sketch is mine.”
In the design industry, plagiarism is considered heinous; having one’s creative work stolen feels like having one’s soul snatched away. So when a famous designer like Jason accused her of plagiarism, she would have a hard ti turning the situation around if she couldn’t prove her innocence.
But she was Yvonne after all!
Jason was only sabotaging his own career!
Soon after, the person in charge of the International Jewelry Design Competition called Xaviera to inquire about her work.
Xaviera didn’t give a clear explanation but asked calmly: “So, Mr. Jason is appealing to have my trophy taken back? Moreover, he’s holding a press conference tomorrow, inviting well-known designers to attend, protesting against plagiarism, and asking to explain the source of my work?”
“Yes, that’s right,” said the person in charge.
Without hesitation, Xaviera answered, “I will attend.”
After hanging up the phone, Xaviera logged into her Black Tide account on her computer.
Although her designs were not all published, her computer contained all the related records, as well as traces of her use.
So things couldn’t be faked. Even after four years, she could still find evidence.
The next day.
At the press conference, Zara Woods and Jason sat in front of the stage, their faces full of grief and anger.
“I’ve been in the design industry for so many years, and this is the first ti I’ve seen such a brazen designer. I’m already here, and she dares to plagiarize my work. Does she think I don’t rember a piece from three years ago?”
