Mr. Kane Got cklisted Chapter 1540 [Eleven Jewell]
Maggie did not give Barbara’s request much thought at first. It was not until Barbara abruptly left the
design drafts with her
after answering a call that Maggie sensed something was amiss.
While a lot of design work is done onputers these days, most designers still prefer hand-drawn
sketches.
Maggie was familiar with Barbara’s habits after knowing her for many years. When Barbara had to step
away from her
desk in the office, she would always keep her drafts in a drawer and lock it. There was no way she
would leave the drafts
to pick up a call and have Maggie safeguard them.
So, Maggie contacted Ste without hesitation.
Ste happened to be with Keegan at the time. He promptly drove her to the scene and used the drone
to capture
footage. Originally, Maggie had intended to leave the design drafts untouched and wait for Barbara to
retrieve them
herself.
However, Ste believed Barbara would undoubtedly have a backup n if this were a set-up. It was
better to be
proactive in that situation.
Now, they had the full-length surveince footage on screen.
Maggie stared icily at Barbara, “Let’s have the experts onsite verify if this clip is edited. We’ll know
who’s telling the truth. I
never opened your folder, and I have no idea what
you’ve drawn on there. So, how could I have giarized your work?”
Barbara was utterly bbergasted after watching the tape.
She thought that as long as there was evidence proving that Maggie had handled her design drafts,
she could firmly
assert that she had copied her work. Little did she know that the other party would present evidence
and im innocence.
Barbara’s n instantly unraveled as her lie about the design drafts fell apart. She nced around and
turned to Chad.
He wore a stern expression, “What does this video prove? The two designers had a private meeting,
yet you went the
extra mile to film it. Does that not suggest you had something to hide?”
Ste could not help but chuckle, thinking of the double standard.
“Mr. Benson, we got this evidence to guard against dishonest people. We can’t just stand here and let
youthrow the dirt on
us, can we?”
Chad’s face darkened, “Ms. Hall, we all know Maggie has a track record. Since you’re now protecting
her, can I
reasonably suspect that you’re also behind or condoning the action of giarism?”

Ste’s gaze turned cold, “Track record? She was the one being giarized. If I’m not mistaken, the
designer who copied
Maggie back then was someone under your management. Doesn’t that mean you turned a blind eye to
giarism too?”
“You-” Chad ground his teeth in anger. “Quit spouting nonsense! We went to court over it, and she lost.
What right do you
have to use us of giarism?”
Ste’s tone remained icy, “So you understand that a legal opinion is required in this situation? Since
you can’t even
produce substantial evidence, why should you be able to im we giarized? What’s with this tant
double standard?”
Hearing that, the onlookers started a hushed conversation.
“Those few sketches really don’t prove anything. Is Grandeur Gallery trying to gain publicity during
someone else’sunch
event?”
“It’s quite possible. After that incident years ago, their reputation in the industry took a hit. It’s been a
while since they had
a best-selling item. I’ve heard they’re even downsizingtely. How could Barbara still get hired there?”
“Well, Barbara does have quite a bit of experience.”
“Do you think there’s a possibility that Barbara actually stole Maggie’s design and used it to apply at
Grandeur Gallery?
Could it be that that’s how she got the job?”
“Everything is uncertain. Neither side has strong evidence to prove that they are the original creators of
this design. Let’s
give it some time to see how things develop.”
