Chapter 592


    Miya asked curiously, “Why can your design blueprint still be yed back?”


    Inman’s face had already rxed, and he said with a smile, “This is an updated version made by


    Estelle’s friend. It has been upgraded with many powerful features. I asked you if you needed it before,


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    but you said no.”


    Miya remembered that this had indeed happened.


    Estelle herself didn’t expect that having Amiee help her update the software would save her big time in


    this situation!


    Inman breathed a sigh of relief. “Alright, everything’s clear now! I think it’s obvious who is the


    giarist!”


    Alice looked embarrassed, turned to Carme and asked coldly, “What’s going on?”


    Carme’s face turned pale, her heart filled with panic and resentment. She thought to herself, why


    didn’t Estelle say that herputer could y back the design process from the beginning? Instead,


    she waited for Jason to arrive before revealing it.


    She looked at Alice anxiously, shaking her head non-stop. “I don’t know, I really don’t know what’s


    going on!”


    “You don’t know?” Inman snapped angrily. “It’s obvious that you copied Estelle’s design and set a trap


    to frame her! If we were the ones chosen today, you would use Estelle of giarism. If it were you


    guys, you would celebrate and maybe even frame Estelle as well! You’re just despicable and vicious!”


    Carme’s eyes filled with tears as she sobbed, her face reflecting a sense of injustice. “No, I didn’t


    copy Estelle’s work, I swear! Today, I discovered that three of our designs were identical. That’s when I


    decided to check the surveince footage and saw Estelle going through my drawer.”


    Jason’s voice turned cold as he inquired, “Did you ask Estelle to look for something in your drawer?”


    Carme hesitated, torn between telling the truth and the fear of Jason uncovering evidence through


    call records. Tearfully, she nodded and confessed, “Yes, I called Estelle. That’s why I began suspecting


    that my design had been leaked.”


    She buried her face in her hands, sobbing miserably, as if she had suffered a great injustice.


    “You were lying from the beginning!” Estelle said coldly. “Now that you’ve been exposed, there’s no


    need to pretend you’re innocent. You know very well whether or not you giarized!”


    Carme’s face bore the marks of tear stains as she pleaded with Jason, her voice filled with


    desperation. “Mr. Gilder, I swear, I didn’t copy her design!”


    Inman’s expression darkened as she scolded, “You expect us to believe you just because you say so?


    Estelle’s design came first! There’s no way that both your ideas turned out to be identical!”


    Alice shifted her gaze, making one final desperate attempt. “Can anyone prove that Estelle’s design


    was indeed created first? What if Carme had finished her design prior to Wednesday?”


    Jason pondered for a moment before turning to Estelle and asking, “Once youpleted your design,


    who did you show it to or where did you keep it?”


    Inman interjected, “Estelle only showed it to me.”


    She carefully recalled the day when Estelle handed her the design and suddenly remembered


    something. “That day, a client came in. I took some materials to talk with the client, and I handed the


    materials to Carme to photocopy. Maybe I identally put Estelle’s design in there and Carme


    saw it!”


    Carme’s expression underwent a drastic change, her face turning pale and trembling as Jason


    issued themand, “Review the surveince footage from the copy room.”


    Her tears halted abruptly, reced by a mixture of fear and anxiety.


    Sandy swiftly retrieved the surveince footage and yed it on theputer screen for everyone to


    witness.


    The footage revealed that on Friday morning, Carme entered the copy room carrying a stack of


    materials. As the footage yed, it became apparent that she stumbled upon something out of the


    ordinary within the materials. She paused momentarily, then proceeded to take out her phone and


    capture a photograph.


    Sandy zoomed in on the surveince footage, and the photo Carme took was indeed Estelle’s


    design!


    As the video neared its end, Alice’s expression underwent a drastic transformation. Consumed by fury


    and humiliation, she snatched a stack of A4 paper from the table and hurled it at Carme.


    “You shameless bitch! You have the audacity to giarize someone else’s design and then try to pin


    the rne on others, causing me to lose face because of you!”


    Carme recoiled, her entire body filled with disbelief. Fear etched across her face as she shook her


    head, realizing she had no remaining exnation to offer.
