Chapter 97


    Juliana didn''t show up. Initially, the case would be dropped, and Jessica''s future would be ruined.


    However, now that Jessica imed to be Snowke''s disciple and said that she wanted to file awsuit


    on behalf of her mentor, it was like a lifesaver to her. As long as she seized the opportunity, she would


    have a bright future.


    “A-Are you really Snowke''s disciple?”


    Jessica smiled as she took out her phone and showed something that could prove her identity.


    “My master sent me this document. She said that Snowke wrote this rmendation letter when


    she requested to be a disciple of my grandmaster, Cedric Gadzinski. Everyone knows that my


    grandmaster is the famous Grandmaster Gadzinski. Snowke''s rmendation letter is enough to


    prove my rtionship with her.”


    Matthew hurriedly took the phone from her and read the document closely. After that, he announced in


    a clear voice, “Your Honor, this document proves that Ms. Tanner is Snowke''s disciple, so she has


    the right to file thewsuit on Snowke''s behalf.”


    However, the judge shook his head and replied sternly, “First, we still have to investigate her identity.


    Second, if she wishes to file awsuit on Snowke''s behalf, thetter has to give her that


    authorization first. I only agreed to it earlier because Snowke''s certificate and trophy that Ms. Stone


    brought are credible. On the other hand, Ms. Tanner didn''t provide anything that gave her the proof of


    any authorization, so she can''t be Snowke''s authorized party.”


    Matthew thought about it and decided to resort to pressure from public opinion. “It''s been days since


    the case about Bailey''s giarism began. The public''s eyes are focused on the trial. In my opinion, the


    most important thing is the case itself. Your Honor, I hope you can consider it as appropriate and


    conclude this trial as soon as possible to appease the public.”


    “But—”


    Felicity stood up and smiled. “I''m sure there must be a hidden reason behind why we can''t contact Ms.


    Stone. Besides, everyone must be guessing if Luther Group has stopped her froming to the court,


    but I''m sorry to disappoint you that Luther Group will not be the scapegoat. Therefore, we must


    call the court to order today to prove the Luther family''s innocence.”


    She said it in a way that made her sound virtuous. It was as if she wasn''t involved in sabotaging Bailey.


    That being said, her statement was intimidating, so the judge hesitated.


    It couldn''t be helped. After all, Snowke was too famous. After it was revealed that she was Cedric''s


    disciple, her international status was raised.


    Now that her famous work was giarized, the matter had shook the entire world.


    Right when both parties were caught up in a stalemate, a staff present leaned closer to the judge and


    whispered, “The superiors said that the impact of the giarism case is too serious and involves too


    many people, including the royalty from Adrune. Therefore, they''ve decided that the trial must be


    concluded today, or the matter will get even more troublesome if it involves the high court or the


    international tribunal.”


    The judge instantly pulled himself together and cleared his throat. “Taking into consideration the major


    impact of this case, we have decided to call the court to order as nned.”


    With that, everyone let out a relieved breath and looked toward the defendant.


    “So what if someone was pulling the strings from behind and stopping Ms. Stone from attending? The


    good always triumphs over the evil.”


    “Let''s not waste our time talking about a woman like her. Before this, all we knew was that Snowke is


    a top figure in the design industry. We didn''t even know that she is Old Mr. Gadzinski''s disciple. Now


    that the truth is revealed, that woman is definitely doomed since she has offended the entire Gadzinski


    n. Her life is ruined.”


    “As expected of my role model! Snowke is the designer that I admire the most! Who would''ve


    thought that she''s Old Mr. Gadzinski''s disciple? Whoa! I''m so excited!”


    “I hope I can meet Ms. Snowke when I''m still alive! She''s our role model! I can''t believe she keeps


    such a low profile that no one knows she''s Master Gadzinski''s disciple!”


    “Inparison, that shameless copycat, Bailey, is even more disgusting! How could she giarize the


    work of Master Gadzinski''s disciple? She should''ve just copied Master Gadzinski''s work instead. She''ll


    get famous more easily!”


    Victoria couldn''t stand listening to them anymore and was about to jump up from her seat.


    Bailey, however, winked at her and smiled. “Do you want to see them eat their words in a while? If you


    do, then don''t stop them. They''re mocking me right now, but I''ll pay them back one by er! You''ll


    definitely enjoy it.”


    Victoriaughed out loud. When did this girl be so mischievous? But,e to think of it, what she


    said makes sense. These people want to see her get thrown into jail, don''t they? They even thought so


    highly of Snowke. It''s going to be interesting when they find out.


    Bailey raised her eyebrows at the intiff''s bench and smiled. “Ms. Tanner, since you''re Snowke''s


    disciple, I''ll ept this mandate. Instead of returning to the hearing bench, you should stay there.”


    Jessica''s pretty face contorted with anger, and hatred filled her eyes.


    She almost couldn''t wait to y Bailey alive and grind her bones into dust.


    Oh well. There''s no rush. I''ll send her into jail myself soon! Once she''s in prison, I''ll bribe a few people


    to make her life inside a living hell.


    In the corner, Simon nudged Glen''s arm curiously. “Granddad, do you know what''s going on? Why do I


    feel that the situation''s strange?”

    Glen stroked his beard and scoffed, “It''s so obvious! Serves her right to be fooled around by Bailey.


    Your mother''s getting increasingly senile by the day. You''re smarter than she is. Brat, you''d better not


    get your hopes up, or you''ll be in for a huge disappointment!”


    This old man is getting increasingly indecent.


    Since Bailey didn''t have a defensewyer, the intiff was the one to tell the entire story.


    One hour had passed.


    Undeniably, thewyer that Felicity hired was excellent. Everything single word he said was justified


    without any loose ends.


    With the evidence provided, anyone could tell the simrity between the two works.


    Matthew lifted his head to look at Bailey while smiling. “Ms. Jefferson, do you have anything to say now


    that I''ve submitted all the information and you''ve seen them?”


    Bailey''s lips curled into a smile. Sheplimented, “As expected, you''re really a top-notchwyer, the


    best in your field! But I''m sorry to say that I still can''t admit to giarism.”


    Before Matthew could speak, Jessica snapped, “Bailey Jefferson, just how shameless are you? The


    evidence is right there! How can you still deny it? Why are you so despicable?”


    “Silence. It''s the defendant''s turn to defend herself. The intiff is not allowed to speak,” the judge said


    strictly.


    Fury swelled within Jessica, but she suppressed it temporarily.


    I''ll wait. There''s no way Bailey can turn the situation around in front of the crowd.


    Bailey looked at the judge and said while smiling, “Your Honor, the works do resemble one another, but


    that''s only because both of them are designed by the same person. It''s a habit that can''t be changed.


    Does this mean that just because I designed that work, I can''t use the same idea to design my other


    works after four years?”
