Chapter 1236 giarism
J walked past the meeting room and saw Elizabeth''s darkened face after Vera said something.
She felt a little worried for Elizabeth. So, she took the initiative to bring a te of desserts into the
meeting room, disguising her intentions to check on the situation.
In the meeting room. Vera took out another designer''s design draft and threw it in front of Elizabeth.
She raised her chin and said arrogantly, "I like this design. Copy it."
No matter how good-tempered Elizabeth was, she couldn''t help sulking.
She was sure that Vera knew the biggest taboo for a designer was giarism. Once someone was
discovered to be giarizing, the person would be criticized by the entire industry. They would even
be cklisted from the industry and would never be able to work as a designer in the future.
Elizabeth had the dignity and principles of a designer. Even if Vera offered a high price, she would
never giarize.
"I won''t giarize others'' work!" Elizabeth said coldly.
She pushed the design draft back and added, "Please get someone else to do it for you."
Vera sneered, "I thought W Marks'' policy was to put its customers first. If you can''t even follow such
a simple request, you don''t deserve to be a designer at all."
"Lady, I am a qualified designer, but your request is unreasonable," Elizabeth replied, holding back
her anger.
Vera snorted and mmed the table before standing up. She pointed at Elizabeth and scolded, "So
this is how the designers of W Marks treat their customers. Your attitude is bad, and youck
professionalism. I want to meet your boss!"
As soon as she finished speaking, an angry voice came from the door. "Mrs. Harding, please watch
your manners."
Vera''s eyes fell on J, and she sneered, "You really like to stand up for your friends. You made
life difficult for the Harding family, again and again, all for Laney''s sake. And now you''re opposing
me again for this minor designer."
J knew that Vera was just here to humiliate her and her friends.
She stopped being polite and said coldly, "Mrs. Harding, you cane at me if you are angry.
There is no need to pick on my friend."
Vera retorted provocatively, "I''m here to get my clothes designed. What''s wrong with that? Are you
driving a customer out?"
J didn''t want to quarrel with Vera in the studio. She turned around and whispered to Elizabeth,
"Help me request a time-out. I''ll handle her outside." Elizabeth pulled her sleeve and said worriedly,
"She''s purposely here to make trouble. Can you handle it alone?"
J patted Elizabeth''s hand andforted her, "I can handle it. Don''t worry."

Elizabeth knew she couldn''t change J''s mind. So, she turned around and left to request a time-
out for her.
After Elizabeth left, J looked at Vera calmly and suggested, "Let''s settle our differences outside.
I don''t want to inconvenience my co-workers."
Vera''s intended to embarrass J in public so she wouldn''t leave so easily. "I have nothing to talk
to you about. I''m here to get my clothes designed," she said stubbornly.
J knew Vera''s goal and asked directly, "Don''t you want to know where Laney and her baby
are?"
Vera''s fingers slightly froze, and the anger on her face faded a little.
She must admit, J had figured out what was on her mind.
Her purpose was not only to humiliate J but also to find out where Laney was.
However, Vera still didn''t want to let go of J easily. She denied, "I don''t care where Laney is.
She''d better note back. Ask your boss toe as soon as possible. If the designers can''t do
as I request, ask your boss to design it for me in person." J had already seen through Vera''s
thoughts. She looked at her phone on purpose and feigned a regretful expression.
"Laney just sent me many photos of the baby. The baby is so cute. Mrs. Harding, if you don''t want
to see them, then forget it. Please wait here while I call my boss over."
With that, J sighed and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Vera shouted abruptly.
She couldn''t resist the temptation and asked reluctantly, "Where do you want to talk?"
