The reporter immediately rushed to Xaviera Evans, pointing the microphone at her.

“Miss Evans, do you admit that your work is plagiarized from Mr. Jason’s?”

“Do you think that not many people know about that magazine, so you chose that design draft, thinking that no one would find out, right?”

“Do you regret winning first place with someone else’s plagiarized work? Will you continue to work in the design industry?”

The reporters’ sharp questions followed one after another, not waiting for Xaviera to answer, countless fans on the scene scolded her.

“The design world doesn’t need a designer like her! Get out of here!”

“Xaviera Evans is not worthy of the championship!”

Zara Woods listened to the curses around her with a smug expression on her face.

This time, Xaviera would definitely be ruined!

Amidst the curses of the crowd, Xaviera slowly raised her eyes and casually took a microphone, saying indifferently: “The first creator is the original, and the later creator is the plagiarist, right?”

Jason snorted coldly, “Yes!”

His design draft was published three years ago. Although he never made a finished product, the existence of the design draft was the most powerful evidence.

“Xaviera, the fact is there, stop quibbling! You should hurry up and apologize to Mr. Jason, he is a generous person and won’t bother with you!” Jake Lindsey spoke.

Zara also chimed in, “Xaviera, it’s not good for you to make a big fuss about it. If not for yourself, think about … him!”

Him? Caleb Mamet? Xaviera couldn’t help but laugh.

She looked up at the design draft on the big screen from three years ago, and the crowd followed her gaze to the screen.

Suddenly, the screen went black, then a video appeared.

“Just now everyone heard, and Mr. Jason also agreed that the first creator is the original. So please watch this video.”

Xaviera’s words had just fallen, and the video began to play.

The picture showed a draft, with someone drawing and modifying it on a computer, with smooth and detailed movements.

Although the video was fast-forwarded, it was still clear that this was the design process of the design draft, and it was done by a highly skilled designer.

What shocked people even more was that the time displayed above was four years ago!

The crowd’s eyes widened instantly.

Because, at this moment, they found out that this design draft was almost identical to Jason’s!

Xaviera was inspired by a palace drama she had watched back then, and based on the unwavering love between the male and female leads in the play, she created the design draft, which coincided with the theme of the competition, so she used this draft to compete.

However, she was busy taking orders later and never perfected this design draft, keeping it on her computer for so long without redesigning it. During this time, she only showed it to two people.

She didn’t understand why this design draft appeared in Jason’s hands, but she was sure that he plagiarized her design draft because all the details were exactly the same, even the flaws he hadn’t changed.

After the video ended, two design drafts appeared clearly on the big screen. Although one could tell they were not drawn by the same person, they were basically the same.

Those who had just cursed Xaviera were silent, and the reporters couldn’t help but be stunned.

“This design draft is… just like Jason’s?”

“Four years ago? Does that mean Jason plagiarized someone else’s work?”

“Actually, if you look closely, it’s not difficult to find that the design draft from four years ago has the same style as the one Xaviera used in the competition. The smooth lines and details completely overlap, indicating that they were done by the same person.”

“Ah! So that means Xaviera drew this design draft four years ago! Xaviera didn’t plagiarize because that design draft was originally hers, but she didn’t release it; she chose to showcase it in the competition.”

Everyone suddenly realized, “Jason kept saying he was against plagiarism, but he was the one who plagiarized and used public opinion to attack the original creator! This way, no one would know he was the plagiarist!”

The course of events suddenly changed, and those who had cursed Xaviera before began to curse Jason. His face turned pale instantly.

“No, it can’t be! It’s not true!”
