Chapter 928 It's Not Me! "If it's not mine, there's no way | could be so confident about it." "Although Lydia doesn't have a sociable personality, her abilities have always been outstanding. The research department really rushed this time!" "From the looks of it, that design portforeally seems to belong to Lydia." Listening to these discussions, Cohen's heart becmore and more restless. He glanced at Dennis on the stage, and their eyes met in a moment of dark calculation. Then they both turned away.
While everyone's attention was focused on the two on stage, Cohen silently took a step back and walked out.
Patrick was still thinking about the argument Selena had just mentioned, and he turned to look at her.
Selena was slumped on the sofa, her black hat covering her eyes, making it impossible to read her expression.
He could only tell from her tense lips that the young girl was feeling agitated.
Patrick lowered his eyes and asked softly, "Did he make you angry?" Selena was silent for a moment before languidly responding, "... no." Before Patrick could ask further, Selena pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "I made him angry..." After a moment of hesitation, she added uncertainly, "Probably." Patrick's expression relaxed. Selena wasn't someone who made a fuss for no reason, and compared to her, Osvaldo was more likely to be the problem.
Besides, what kind of boyfriend would leave his girlfriend alone after getting angry at her? Patrick's face darkened a bit.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChrist squinted his eyes and stared at Selena for a long time, then looked around and realized that Osvaldo wasn't present. It was easy for him to guess that the young couple was having a disagreement.
He sneered.
Winnie had been staring at Christ since Selena arrived, and her absurd suspicion was now confirmed. She glared at Selena, her pretty face turning pale.
Both Osvaldo and Christ were the most powerful and influential men in Capital. Despite the efforts of countless socialites and wealthy daughters, none of them had been able to win them over. And yet Selena, who had just arrived in Capital, had managed to attract the attention of two men at the stime. How could that not make people jealous? What qualifications did she have? Freddie looked at Selena, then at Christ, and judged their relationship in his mind. The more he thought about it, the darker his expression became.
As for Vivian, who had just been attacked by Selena and couldn't get off the stage, her eyes were full of hatred as she glared at Selena.
There were turbulent undercurrents among the major families, but the people in the research institute were unaware of them. All their attention was focused on Lydia and Dennis on the stage.
After answering all the questions, Lydia let out a sigh of relief.
Lady Selena said that this was her greatest confidence, and there shouldn't be any problems, right? As Lydia's nerves began to relax, she suddenly heard Dennis' voice beside her, "Lydia, because we used to be together, I'll give you a chance. If you tell everyone now that the design is mine, then I'll pretend like nothing happened. Otherwise, don't blme for not keeping our past relationship in mind!" Lydia was furious at such shameless remarks. Her face turned pale, and she stared at the repulsive face across from her, shouting angrily, "That's mine!" Dennis looked down on her with disdain, his face dark and arrogant. "Since you insist on seeking death, don't blme for being ruthless!" Initially, he was still wary of the Turner family's backing, and didn't plan to take things to the extreme. But that bitch Selena made a big deal out of it and mobilized the entire research institute to act as judges, putting him directly in the fire! With no other way out, today it was either him destroying Lydia, or Lydia destroying him.
Damn it! If he had known that the Turner family had such power, he would have continued to manipulate Lydia! But the deed was done, and regret was useless! Dennis looked at Lydia with disgust, but when he looked away, he regained his calm and composed appearance.
He calmly walked up to the stage and said with a solemn expression, "I'm sorry because | didn't handle my personal emotions well, which has damaged the reputation of the research institute and wasted the precious tof the teachers." Compared to Lydia's proper and ordinary response, Dennis seemed much smoother and sincere, instantly making the researchers who were forced to attend this public arbitration feel a lot more at ease.
Immediately, many academicians stood up and spoke up for him firmly.
"Dennis has been recognized for his excellent character and scholarship since his school days. He would never plagiarize someone else's work!" "Dennis has exceptional talent, and his performance in the research department over the past few years has been outstanding. He would never do something so despicable!" Lydia watched as so many people confidently supported Dennis, and her heart began to panic.
Dennis bowed deeply, "Thank you for your trust, my teachers." He seized the opportunity and said in a deep voice, "My evidence is simple. Please watch this video!" After speaking, Dennis walked to the projector on the side and handed a USB drive to the staff. The staff inserted the USB drive.
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone on the scene, except for Selena, who had lowered her head and was feeling cold and helpless, instinctively turned their gaze towards the huge multi-functional screen in the conference room.
The lighting on the screen was a bit dim, but it could still be seen that it was a studio.
Alina stood up and said loudly, "That's Dennis’ stuin the Research and Development Department. His computer and things are on the desk, and we all know it!" The other members of the Research and Development Department nodded one after another and stood up as witnesses. It was Dennis’ studio.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLydia had been in a relationship with Dennis before, so she naturally recognized that it was Dennis" studio. She just didn't understand what it had to do with this incident.
As she watched the video move forward bit by bit, and saw the confident look on the faces of everyone in the Research and Development Department, Lydia had a gut feeling that something was off. She just couldn't put her finger on it.
Like everyone else, she was staring blankly at the screen.
Soon, Lydia understood what Dennis' purpose was in showing them this video.
Suddenly, on the dim screen, the door to Dennis' office was pushed open by someone. It was a woman wearing a hood and dressed in black, sneaking in.
Lydia stared at the figure with wide eyes, her face drained of color.
Although the image was a bit blurry and the woman's face was not completely visible, everything from her figure, height, and even the chin and lips that were exposed, looked very much like her.
Lydia instinctively retorted loudly, "It's not me! This is not me!" She had definitely not done such a thing! Dennis gave her a cold and sarcastic look and whispered, "Lydia, don't blme for not giving you a chance.
This is your own doing!" A surge of extranger filled Lydia's chest...
