At least, a junior designer wouldn't be able to produce that. Only well-known designers that were as talented as
Natalie and had design styles similar to her would be able to accomplish that.
However, according to what she knew, designers with such a profile were all quite senior and it was impossible that
they would be bribed by Lucy.
On the other hand, it was more likely for junior designers to be bribed out of jealousy of Natalie. They might agree
to collaborate with Lucy to frame Natalie so that they would have one less competitor after Natalie's downfall.
However, there weren't any junior designers that she could think of who would do that.
Lina was feeling extremely perplexed as she had absolutely no clue as to who had helped Lucy.
Natalie looked at Lina, who had a crease between her brows, and chuckled before saying, “The designs on the left
of these photos are all by a designer named Mina.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Mina?” Lina froze for a moment before snapping out of her daze. Feeling amused, she replied, “Nat, isn't that the
moniker you used before returning to the country?”
“Yup.” Natalie nodded before replying, “So now you know why the design on the left is so similar to my design style.
That's because both were drawn by me. Actually, I have a habit that I haven't told you about. For those designs I'm
not that satisfied with, I'll post them on my other social media account so that I would remember what I have
drawn. But I didn't expect myself to plagiarize my own design one day.”
When Lina heard that, she could not stop chuckling. “Now I understand what's going on. Lucy must have stumbled
upon your other social media account, but she didn't know it belonged to you. She had probably noticed that the
drawings on that account were extremely similar to yours. As such, she concluded that you have plagiarized those
designs and ended up reporting you. Haha! Nat, why are you so unlucky?”
Natalie sighed helplessly before replying, “Exactly! I can't believe my luck. I have become a plagiarist who
plagiarized my own works!”
Lina was laughing so hard that she started tearing up. “I can already imagine Lucy's expression when you reveal
the truth later. It's gonna be so exciting! I can't wait! Haha! I'm dying of laughter.”
Natalie shook her head, feeling amused by her friend's reaction.
In fact, Natalie had not expected things to take such a dramatic turn.
She was wondering what evidence Lucy had, but it turned out that it was her own designs.
That woman is reporting me for plagiarizing my own work. This misunderstanding is probably the first of its kind in
the design world.
At that thought, Natalie gazed downward with a mocking glint in her eyes.
Lucy pointed at the pictures on the left of the screen while announcing loudly, “I believe everyone knows that the
designs on the right belong to Ms. Smith. However, you probably wouldn't recognize these works on the left. Let me

tell you, these works belong to someone named 'MN.' I happened to chance upon her social media account and
saw her designs. I was rather impressed with her works and tried to find out more about her. That was also when I
noticed that Ms. Smith's designs are extremely similar to MN's designs. I have also discovered that MN had posted
her designs before Ms. Smith published her works. As such, I'm certain that Ms. Smith must have plagiarized MN's
works.”
“If that's the case, why don't you share MN's social media account with us?” Lina picked up the microphone and
said.
A glint flashed across Lucy's eyes before she nodded and replied, “Sure.”
Lucy had also plagiarized MN's design. However, she noticed that MN had already deleted the design which she had
used two days ago, and it was no longer visible online. As such, Lucy did not mind sharing the designer's social
media account as it would not impact her.
No one would know that she had also plagiarized MN's works.
At that thought, Lucy calmed herself down and shared MN's social media account in the competition participants'
WhatsApp group.
After receiving the text, all of the participants clicked on the link to verify Lucy's words.
