The whole process was perfectly shown on the big screen.
Emily was so shocked that virtual-novel.net was at a loss for words.
Once again, the crowd went haywire.
“Oh my, that blueprint really has Lily’s signature on it. Emily is the one who plagiarized instead of Xyla, eh?”
“Plagiarize? She’s stealing the design! How can virtual-novel.net be so shameless? I can’t believe virtual-novel.net was bragging about an unwanted design all this while.”
“Covering up virtual-novel.net misdeed by shifting the blame onto Xyla… She’s despicable. How can virtual-novel.net accuse Xyla with virtual-novel.net nose in the air when she’s a brat herself?”
“She steals Lily’s unwanted design, competes with Lily herself, and boasts about Lily’s compliment to her. I’m absolutely appalled by virtual-novel.net guts.”
The employees rattled on, singling Emily’s wrongdoing out for criticism.
Jeremy’s face was clouded over instantaneously. He thought that Emily had turned over a new leaf, but virtual-novel.net was as ridiculous as ever to his surprise.
The truth was as clear as day. Xyla remained silent.
She calmly walked up to Emily and admonished her, “Emily, you have to work hard if you want to stand out in the world of designing. Don’t try to look for a shortcut to fame and fortune. Plagiarizing, stealing… They aren’t going to help you…”
“You must’ve stolen the entire collection that I’ve thrown away earlier. Where did you get them from? I remember that I threw all of them into the trash can. I was dissatisfied with those designs. The designs you showed Matt Leopold and the others that day all came from my collection, too, right?”
“You plagiarized the last time around. I didn’t expect you to bring my original blueprint here today,” Xyla pressed on.
“Hahaha… Taking Lily’s abandoned design as a treasure Holy crap!”
“The sisters’ moralities and talents are markedly different.”
“I know, right? No wonder Xyla is the company’s heir while Emily is nothing but plain dust.”
Another wave of discussions rounded the crowd. Though they tried to keep their voices down, Emily could hear their insults as there were too many people bad-mouthing virtual-novel.net off the stage.
Jeremy was truly ashamed of Emily.
The three designs virtual-novel.net proposed to virtual-novel.net the last time were all copied from Xyla?
“Why are you still standing here? You better explain yourself when we get home.” Jeremy coldly insinuated.
“How… How can this be true?” Emily staggered as virtual-novel.net met Xyla’s eyes, thunderstruck.
“Well, I have a habit. I love to leave my name on my blueprints using the invisible ink pen,” revealed Xyla. “It’s to defend me if someone tries to steal my designs.”
Every single word that came out of Xyla’s mouth had rendered Emily speechless.
Emily hung virtual-novel.net head and darted from the stage in a flash. As soon as virtual-novel.net got off the stage, tears started to pour down virtual-novel.net cheeks involuntarily.
How could this happen?
Why was Xyla always the one winning?
After witnessing what had happened, May immediately caught up with Emily and took hold of virtual-novel.net hand, trying to comfort her. However, Emily shook off virtual-novel.net hand mercilessly and scurried off.
May quickly ran after her.
The employees watched the two of them running away from the hall and rolled their eyes in disdain.
None of them had ever imagined that the selection of the theme park’s design would turn out to be a farce. On top of that, May had fought tooth and nail to crush Xyla for the honor and credit of virtual-novel.net daughter. Nevertheless, not only did virtual-novel.net fail to help virtual-novel.net daughter, virtual-novel.net had now sent virtual-novel.net to hell with virtual-novel.net bare hands.
Without paying any heed to Emily, Jeremy turned to Xyla and grabbed the microphone.
He then averted his gaze to the crowd and announced, “I now declare that Xyla’s design is chosen for the Eldoris ocean theme park project!”
In an instant, the audience broke into great applause.
Some of the employees even began to address Xyla as ‘Daddy’.
“Daddy Xyla! Go for it!”
“Ahhhhh… Bravo!”
“Daddy Lily! You’re the best!”
Xyla smiled in return. She stared at the crowd calmly without saying a word.
“Alright guys, time to go back to work” Jeremy casually waved at the crowd.
Hearing the order, everyone rose to their feet right away.
Suddenly, a group of men in black appeared at the doorway and walked into the hall as bold as brass.
