Chapter 1453


    Everyone fell silent after browsing MN''s social media ount.


    That was because everything Lucy said was true. MN''s designs were indeed posted before Natalie


    published her works.


    As such, it seemed as if Natalie had indeed giarized MN''s designs.


    Lucy was extremely pleased when she saw the crowd''s reaction. Pointing at Natalie, she said, “Ms.


    Smith, since everyone had already seen the evidence, would you like to exin yourself?”


    “Exactly, Ms. Smith. Aren''t you going to admit that you''ve giarized someone else''s designs?”


    “Yeah! How can you be so shameless!”


    “You were my idol! I can''t believe you are actually a giarist!”


    Faced with the barrage of criticisms from the crowd, Natalie remainedposed as she put down her


    coffee cup. Then, she picked up the microphone and stood up.


    When everyone saw her doing that, they knew that she was going to speak and quietened down at


    once.


    Natalie shed a smile at the crowd before saying, “I never knew that using my own designs would be


    considered giarism.”


    Although she spoke softly and in a casual manner, everyone heard her, and an uproar broke out


    among the crowd.


    “Did you hear that? Ms. Smith said that she had used her own designs.”


    “I heard it. Does Ms. Smith mean that the designs which Lucy had used her of giarizing belong to


    her, too?”


    “That''s quite unlikely. If it''s really Ms. Smith''s own works, why would they appear on MN''s social


    media?”


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Everyone was confused.


    Meanwhile, Lucy''s expression hadpletely changed as she looked at Natalie in disbelief.


    Did she just say that those designs are her own and it wasn''t someone else''s designs that she had


    used?


    How is that possible?


    That''s impossible!


    Yup! This can''t be true!


    Lucy did not believe that such a coincidence existed in the world. After taking in a deep inhale, she said


    calmly, “Ms. Smith, I had already expected that you wouldn''t admit to it. After all, no one would,


    because your reputation would go down the drain once you admit to giarizing someone else''s


    works. However, even if that''s the case, I don''t think you should im ownership of MN''s designs. After


    all, you are not MN.”


    “Since I made that im, naturally, I would be able to produce evidence. Just like you said, I am indeed


    MN,” Natalie said with a faint smile on her face before continuing, “Probably no one here knows what


    ''MN'' stands for. I shall exin that. ''MN'' is the short form for Mina. I''m sure everyone has heard of


    Mina, an extremely talented young designer who had made waves in the design world one year back.”


    “Yup, that''s right.” Everyone nodded.


    “However, Mina had suddenly disappeared after just a short while. Some people guessed that she had


    retired, but the fact is, Mina did not retire. Instead, she had returned to her home country and started


    from scratch using her real name. Actually, I am Mina!” Natalie patted her chest and said.


    Everyone was shocked when they heard that.


    “What? Ms. Smith is Mina?”


    “That''s what she said.”


    “That''s quite far-fetched, isn''t it? If she''s really Mina, why wouldn''t she continue to use that name? After


    all, Mina was already rather famous. Why would she give up on all that she had built and start all over


    again?”


    “I don''t know. But if what she said is true, I would admire her even more. After all, not everyone can put


    everything behind them and start all over again, especially when she was already quite well-known in


    the industry.”


    “Exactly.”


    When Lucy heard the discussions that were going on among the crowd, her expression darkened.


    It was clear to her what Natalie was talking about.


    Natalie had imed that MN was Mina, the young designer who had made waves in the industry a year


    ago, and that Mina was actually Natalie herself!


    That meant that Natalie had never giarized anyone''s designs, and the designs which she had used


    were actually her own!


    How is that even possible!


    Lucy turned pale and her body started trembling.


    She refused to believe what Natalie had said.


    After all, it wasn''t easy for her to find dirt on Natalie, and there was no way she would ept that it was


    all a misunderstanding and let go of such a perfect opportunity to get rid of the woman!
