Chapter 149 Even More Famous
Originally, everyone thought that Nicole would be done for this time, so they didn’t expect that such a shocking reversal would happen in court. Not only did the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel not plagiarize, she turned out to be the champion of the national competition a few years ago as well!
After that design won the competition, it was quite a sensation in the design industry, but so long had passed since, so everyone had long stopped talking about it. If it weren’t for this plagiarism incident, it might’ve been forgotten forever.
Now that it was brought out again, everyone admired the design with relish.
The bad comments on the Internet about Lisa had begun to change for the better as verbal abuse turned into compliments.
Topics such as ‘Worthy of Being the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel’ and ‘Lisa Won the National Design Competition Anonymously’ were trending.
Although this could be said to be a farce, it was also because of this that the products which were supposed to begin their preorder in the beginning of May were now receiving a lot of attention.
However, the farce wasn’t over yet because Lisa was going to file a lawsuit to sue Daniella for impersonating her.
The heat of this matter would continue to rise.
In the evening, Nicole posted a long passage on social media.
Lisa: ‘I didn’t clarify the plagiarism before this because I believed that rumors would stop with the wise. I didn’t expect the spread to continue, or that someone would falsely claim ownership of my design and sue me. I’m very sorry for wasting public resources. Moving on, I’ll file a lawsuit and regain my innocence. Thank you.’
Although it was short, it justified her innocence.
When Queenie returned home, she was near insanity. She never expected that the situation would end up being reversed like this!
Lydia was getting her nails done. She was in a good mood today because she could witness Nicole’s demise. When she saw that Queenie had returned, she said with a smile, “Queenie, come here. The people from this nail parlor are excellent. You should try it too.”
Queenie was livid. Clenching her hands into fists, she spoke to the person doing Lydia’s nails in a deep voice. “Get out.”
Taken aback, the girl stopped to look at her.
Queenie repeated, “Get out.”
Finally sensing that something was wrong, Lydia turned and looked over. When she saw Queenie’s livid expression, the smile on her face vanished. “What’s the matter? Queenie?”
Queenie bit her lips, and tears pooled in her eyes. Lydia retracted her hand and said to the girl doing her nails, “You should leave first. Come back next time.”
The girl sensed that the atmosphere was a little off, so she packed up her things and left in a hurry.
After she left, Lydia frowned and asked, “Queenie, what’s the matter?”
Angrily stomping her feet, Queenie gritted her teeth and said, “Mom, Nicole won the lawsuit!” Resentment was written all over her face, and she was so angry that she nearly spat blood.
Seeing how furious she was, Lydia could almost guess what had happened. She got Queenie to sit as she comforted her, “If she won, so be it. Nicole’s reputation is so bad now anyway. We can regard that as a success.”
In Lydia’s heart, if Nicole won this lawsuit, it was probably because F&M Apparel took action, which wasn’t unusual.
Queenie shook her head, her eyes burning with rage as she clenched her fists. “No, Nicole has not only won the lawsuit, but she’s even been cleared of the plagiarism scandal!”
“What?!” Lydia cried out in surprise, then hurriedly asked, “What’s happened?”
“Nicole submitted that design a few years ago. Now, not only is Nicole cleared of suspicion for plagiarizing, but it also gave her a wave of publicity, which made that b*tch even more famous!”
Lydia was dumbfounded, and a trace of disbelief flashed across her eyes. “How could this happen?!”
