Chapter 117 Plagiarism!
The new product launch event was a great success. Coupled with the previously leaked designs, they had long
become a hot topic on the Internet. As soon as news of the launch event was released, their popularity was on a
constant rise.
However, apart from the news of the product launch event, there was also the plagiarism appraisal report.
In the report, a design from many years ago was placed together with the dress Nicole had designed for Wendy,
and they were found to be strikingly similar.
Moreover, authorities had certified the plagiarism in the report.
Riding on all the previous buzz, the plagiarism news instantly took the Internet by storm.

Many designers came forward to accuse Nicole of plagiarism after taking a look at the two designs.
Not only Nicole was implicated for the matter of plagiarism, but so was Wendy, who wore that dress.
In the president’s office of the Gardner Corporation. “Miss Gardner, Miss Gardner, President Gardner is still busy
inside. You can’t go in.” Tony stepped forward to stop Wendy, but her aggressiveness made her unstoppable.
When Wendy opened the door, she saw Colton behind the desk at once. Gritting her teeth, she spoke with tears
glistening in her eyes. “Colton!”
Colton frowned slightly. He reached out to rub the corners of his eyes, then said a little coldly, “Didn’t I say that you
have to knock before coming in? Where are your manners?”
Wendy couldn’t care less about it. With two pieces of paper in her hand, she stalked toward Colton’s desk.
She spread the papers in front of Colton, looking wronged. “Colton, look at these two designs.”
Colton looked down. One was the dress Nicole had designed for Wendy’s graduation, and the other was one he had
never seen before.
However, after taking a few glances, it could be seen that the two dresses were similar. Although the dress Nicole
had designed was embellished with many elements that were popular in recent years, the overall design was the
same.
“What is this?”
Wendy blinked, her dark eyes filling with tears as she sniffed. “This is plagiarism! Colton, Lisa let me wear a
plagiarized design!”
Colton frowned, suddenly feeling a little troubled. It would probably be bad if the matter of plagiarism was looked
into and made into a major issue.
“Who told you about this?” Colton asked.
“What do you mean who told me about this? It’s trending on the Internet now. It’s probably trending even more
than your new product launch event!” Wendy answered.
She was in the limelight because of that dress, and she even made it into the trending topics. Initially, it was a good
thing, but she didn’t expect that the matter of plagiarism would suddenly be exposed. Since there was concrete
evidence, there was no way to refute the claims.

Otherwise, she would’ve still been kept in the dark.
Wendy’s first reaction was to go to Anna. After all, she was a designer who could identify plagiarism at a glance.
Upon confirming it, she went to Colton’s office in a menacing manner, hoping that Colton could help her seek
justice.
Colton’s face hardened. His slender fingers rested on the keyboard as he searched it up. Sure enough, ‘F&M
Apparel’s Chief Designer suspected of plagiarism for Miss Gardners’ dress’ was currently a trending topic.
Colton took a glance and found that there were comparison photos with details, which could almost conclude that it
was indeed plagiarism.
Wendy had previously been a trending topic, added up with the popularity of the leaked designs and the new
product launch, the matter became a hot topic without needing much publicity.
Frustrated, Colton massaged his temples. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that someone was specifically
targeting Nicole, but if Nicole had actually plagiarized the design, then there was nothing he could do.
