Chapter 311 Hot Seat


    Unfazed by all that Luna said, J swiped and zoomed in on the drawings on the PC tablet. She


    observed them closely for a while. She then said, "Yeah, they are simr, but that doesn''t make


    them the same. Are you calling me a giarist because of these simrities? Besides, no one


    knows when you made these design drafts!"


    Luna had prepared well for this confrontation, so she had expected J to say such a thing. She


    retorted fearlessly, "As I said earlier, I made these designs some time back. I decided to put the


    entire collection on a fashion design exchange tform since it wasn''t selected by the design team.


    It was a way of putting my work out there and building my portfolio. From the website, you can see


    that it was uploaded a year ago. Have a look, everyone!"


    As Luna spoke, she opened the fashion design exchange tform where she imed to have


    uploaded her designs.


    The date stamp indeed showed that the collection of designs was uploaded on the tform a year


    ago.


    A slight frown appeared on the organizer''s face after Luna pointed out the date stamp. "Miss Lind,


    what do you have to say about that?"


    The tempo of the uproar also increased. J saw that some of the attendees were looking at her


    with disdainful expressions. Many dignified designers were alsoing over.


    Tiffany''s mind-blowing introduction of J before the show began painted her in a good light. Most


    of them had good first impressions of her, so they were supportive of her. "People often get simr


    inspirations. It''s possible that both women have simr interests and saw the same set of past


    designs that inspired them. After all, even experienced designers like us asionally have such


    problems."


    "It''s true that people can take inspiration from the same things, but it is impossible for two creative


    minds toe up with the same designs. Simrities can happen. However, the styles and colors of


    J''s designs are exactly the same as mine. Even a blind man could see that the resemnce is


    uncanny. How is it possible that she made these designs without looking at mine?" Luna insisted


    confidently.


    The other designers were forced to admit that she had a point. Both designs had the slip style and


    silk fabric, among other simrities. From their experience, they knew that such coincidences hardly


    ever happened.


    This seemed to be enough evidence. As a result, the organizers and designers couldn''t speak for


    J anymore. One of them eventually spoke for the rest, "Miss Lind, you have to exin why your


    work is the same as hers. It''s best that you own up to it if you indeed giarized her work.


    Otherwise, you would make matters worse for yourself."

    This statement indicated that they were convinced that this was a clear case of giarism.


    Despite being on the hot seat with little or no support, J was hell-bent on sticking to her truth.


    She wasn''t intimidated by theirck of trust. She said calmly, "You said that even a blind man could


    see that I giarized your work. Now tell me, how is it possible that I tantly giarized without


    changing any detail? I am a smart woman. If I wanted to copy someone''s work, I would make plenty


    of changes so that the owner won''t notice the simrities. Do you think I''m a fool that would just


    copy and paste without tweaking anything? Which intellectual property thief would want others to


    find out about his or her shady business?"


    There was no trace of shame or fear on J''s face. It didn''t matter to her that no one supported


    her now. She was just ready to prove her innocence.


    Folding her arms over her chest, Luna fired back, "Spare me that crap, J. Now is not the time to


    tter yourself. Only a thief would know how a thief thinks. I''m not a giarist, so there''s no way I


    would know how people like you think. I have brought out evidence that you stole my work.


    Everyone has seen it. As a designer, I can''t just stand by and watch someone else take credit for


    my hard work. With my designs, J sessfully entered the fashion show of Seacisco Fashion


    Week. I demand that all of her works be withdrawn and that she apologizes to me publicly."


    J frowned deeply.


    She couldn''t take the insults, let alone apologize to her. "You are making a baseless im. I didn''t


    giarize your work. I have never logged on to the fashion design sharing tform you spoke


    about. More so, I have never seen any designs that are simr to mine anywhere before. You just


    want to tarnish my image!"


    Luna held her chest and pretended to be hurt by J''s words. "How could you say that I''m.


    making a baseless im? You are just being a big bully. I''ve never seen anyone as shameless and


    wicked as you. The evidence is right here. Why are you still denying it? Anyway, let''s wait and see!"
