Chapter 16
The competition results were about to be announced, and everyone sat in their seats, waiting for the host on stage to read them out. Aaliyah was also a
little nervous
Just as the host opened the envelope and was about to announce the results, s someone suddenly approached the host and whispered a few words.
“Ladies and gentlemen, there was a plagiarisan incident in this competition. In order to ensure fairness, the plagiarized entries will be judged separately, and a re–evaluation will be conducted.”
There was a commotion below upon hearing about the plagiarism
Plagiarism was a malicious incident, once one was labeled as a plagiarist, their reputation in the industry became tarnished
Originally, the intention was to privately resolve the plagiarism incident, but due to the demands of the people present, the organizers displayed both suspected plagiarized works on the screen behind.
Aaliyah looked back and discovered that it was her own work and Madilyn’s work
Aaliyah looked incredulously at Madilyn and Calvin.
Madilyn met Aaliyah’s gaze and wore a proud expression.
Alfredo quickly asked, “Aaliyah, have you shown your design draft to anyone?”
Alfredo had absolute trust in Aaliyah, he didn’t believe that she would plagiarize someone else’s design.
In the current sinuation, he could only believe that Aaliyah’s manuscript had been lealed.
Aaliyah had just thought of standing up to defend herself when she saw Medilyn stand up and twist black and white.
“It was Aaliyah who plagiarized my design.”
“It was clearly you who plagiarized my design.”
Aaliyah was about to take out her design sketches when she heard Madilyn say, “I have the design sketches.” Madilyn handed her manuscript to the staff of the organizing committee, who then delivered it to the judges. Aaliyah could only sulanit her own manuscript, which was her design, and she never plagiarized others.
Altredo supported Aaliyah’s shoulders and comforted her softly,
“It’s okay, the judging committee will investigate thoroughly, I believe in you”

Everyone was waiting for the judges‘ results
The host read out the results given by the judges, “According to the judges evaluation, the design draft provided by Madilyn was earlier than Aaliyah’s.” This sentence, once spoken, almost determined that Aaliyah was plagiarizing
Aaliyah couldn’t believe it, she rushed to the judges‘ table and took two copies of the script.
Upon seeing the manuscript provided by Madilyn, Aalayala was certain that it was written by her and must have been left behind at the Pittman Group when she nsigned.
The rest of the audience was discussing and accusing Aaliyal of plagiarism
Aaliyali looked to Calvin for help, and only if Calvin admitted that the manuscript came from her, the charge of plagiarism could be cleared.
Calvin saw the pleading look in Aaliyah’s eyes, but he didn’t say anything and didn’t explain anything to Aaliyah.
“Calvin, did you give my manuscript to Madilyn?”
Aaliyah couldn’t controller emotions anymore and directly placed the manuscript in front of Calvin, her tone filled with disbelief.
Calvin delt a little heartbroken, but before he could speak, he was pulled by Madilyn who was standing beside him,
The judges present were also waiting for Calvin’s response
“This design draft was Madilyn’s ”
As soon as Calvin said this, the thy spark of hope that Aaliyah, had ignited was instantly extinguished. She felt all her strength being drained from her body, and she could barely stand
Chapter 16.
Alfredo hurriedly stepped forward to support Aaliyah.
Madilyn looked at Aaliyah’s appearance, feeling proud inside, until the farce was over. She walked over to Aaliyah and Alfredo, and began to mock them.
“The Chaney Group was suspected of plagiarism. What do you think about this trending topic?”
Calvin, who was standing next to her, heard Madilyn’s words but did not intervene. He simply watched coldly.
Alfredo didn’t want to argue with Madilyn, solie said to Calvin, “I can’t believe Mr. Pittman is actually siding with this
Calvin just glanced at Aaliyah indifferently.
“Maintaining your girlfriend, any issues?”
Watching him like this, Alfredo wanted to rush up and punch him, but he was held back by Aaliyah.
Aaliyah thought that Alfredo was afraid that this matter would affect the company’s stock price.

“1 resigned from the company, taking the responsibility upon myself, and it did not affect the stock price of the Chaney Group ”
Alfredo quickly explained, “I was not upset because of the company’s stock price, but because I was standing up for
or you.”
Calvin was not interested in listening to Alfredo’s sweet words to Aaliyah. He wanted to leave with Madilyn, but Aaliyah stopped him. “Calvin, consider the previous entanglement as my apology to you.
“But you pushed me into the lake, left me in the fire, including today’s plagiarism incident, consider it as my retribution, and we are even now.” Calvin paused in his footsteps, and after a moment, he finally uttered a word, “Okay.”
