Soon, the videographer, whom the host had arranged for Natalie, stood behind her and pointed the camera at her
hands and the laptop screen.
Under the crowd's watchful eyes, Natalie keyed in the ID and password and clicked the log-in button.
She successfully logged into the account a few seconds later.
It was the same page that the crowd had seen earlier.
Everyone in the audience went silent.
At this point, they were convinced that Natalie was MN.
While scrolling the mouse, Natalie said, “Look at all the designs in this account. I drew all these drafts. I was not
satisfied with my works, but I felt it would be a waste had I destroyed them. That's why I put them here. As
designers, no matter how dissatisfied we are with our work, we wouldn't have the heart to toss it away since we
treat them like our children.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“That's right.” Someone nodded. “I share the same thought as Ms. Smith. I might not use the designs, but I'll still
keep them. I'll even take them out to have a look to see how much I've improved.”
“Yeah. Me too.”
Upon hearing the responses, Natalie grinned and said, “I don't know why people accused me of plagiarism when I
was the original creator who uploaded those designs on my social media account. It's ridiculous to hear someone
accusing me of plagiarizing my own work. I must say this experience is one of a kind.”
The crowd burst into laughter upon hearing that.
“Yeah, me too. Initially, I was mad when I thought Ms. Smith plagiarized people's work. But now that Ms. Smith has
addressed the misunderstanding, I begin to see how ridiculous the accusation was.”
“Exactly! I bet someone must have done this to put Ms. Smith in a bad light because she held grudges against Ms.
Smith. The joke's on her now since we all saw the evidence.”
“You're spot on! Now we all know Ms. Smith is innocent. How could someone simply accuse Ms. Smith of plagiarizing
her own work? If I'm not mistaken, The accuser who made such a baseless claim could be sued for defamation. The
accuser, if found guilty, would be sentenced to jail, right?”
Everyone looked in Lucy's direction and shot her a mocking glance.
Lucy was overwhelmed with disappointment and fear when she looked into their eyes and listened to all the
sarcastic remarks they made.
She was disappointed with her supporters, who gravitated toward Natalie when they noticed Natalie log in to the
account.
To add fuel to the fire, they even started mocking her!
What caused her to panic were the remarks the people made.
Now that Natalie had proven she did not commit plagiarism, the report Lucy made had become a baseless
accusation. Every claim she made earlier was defamatory. If found guilty in court, she would have to do time in jail.
The more she thought about it, the more she shivered in fear. Her face was as pale as a sheet.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon seeing the distressed look on Lucy's face, Lina curled her lips and said, “Look, Nat. She's shaking in fear.”
Natalie hummed in response. “Yeah, I can tell.”
“Oh, well. I thought she'd be better than this. What a weakling.” Lina shrugged her shoulders as she did not know
what else to say.
Natalie grinned and took out her phone. “All right. Now that all of you have seen my social media account and
believe that I didn't commit plagiarism, it's time for me to give my mentor a call. I'll also call the other top designers
to ask them to verify Mina's identity.”
She then proceeded to dial Mercede's number.
No one else knew Natalie's other identity better than Mercede did. After all, Natalie was her disciple.
In fact, she was the one who came up with the name Mina.
When Mercede revealed that Natalie was Mina over the phone, everyone no longer had any reason to doubt Natalie
anymore.
Yet, Natalie kept her promise and continued calling the other top designers as she felt it would not be fair to rely
solely on Mercede's claim.
