Her Seven Little Bodyguards

Chapter 100

“It’s just that with so many people watching today, I’d better convince you of my innocence,” Vania said while motioning to the staff member at the scene to link her cell phone to the big screen as well. Then, she called up a folder on her cell phone and opened it.

The folder contained dozens of files, but Vania only opened three of them randomly. The three files were her manuscript and its revised versions, where every detail was marked and introduced in detail, and every term’s source and references were specified. This was something that no ordinary ad design could’ve done.

One of the netizens commented, ‘Now I know the difference in capabilities between me and a pro at last. She even analyzed the commonly used words in detail and made a clear comparison of them before selecting the best one.’

Another netizen commented, ‘If Vania did plagiarize from Mr. Wright, she’s got to copy all his files, right?’

‘Just how did Melanie come to the conclusion that Vania had plagiarized someone else’s work? What she did was so baffling. Won’t it be self-destruction if she lacks sufficient evidence?’

‘Could it be that Melanie still has some hidden card up her sleeve?’

Panicked, Melanie gulped a mouthful of saliva while looking at these files in disbelief. At this very moment, she was somewhat afraid. Hanson is still here. If I can’t bring Vania down, how am I gonna wind this up? Resorting to lame arguments, she said, “Who can prove that you made these files? Maybe you copied all of Mr. Wright’s files.”

Vania nodded in agreement. “You’re right, but I’ve got a question for you. You’re so sure that the creative concept for this ad came from Mr. Wright, so do you know him in person? You can’t say you know him based on him blocking you on WhatsApp and an out-of-service number, can you?”

Melanie felt guilty upon being asked. “Does it matter whether I know him personally or not?”

“Of course it does.” Vania’s tone of voice became much sterner now. “Since you can’t show any concrete proof so far, I seriously suspect that you’ve been duped. And besides, I’m also suspecting you of selling my personal information, which I’m gonna hold you legally responsible for. Let’s report this to the police together. Perhaps the police can help you investigate how you got duped.” This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Upon hearing Vania suggest that they go to the police, Melanie instantly got nervous. “Are you trying to oppress me with your clout? You’ve got no way of proving that these files are yours. What gives you the right to accuse me of selling your personal information? The way I see it, I’m the one who should call the police. There’s hard evidence that you plagiarized someone else’s work and threatened a citizen who was trying to report it to the authorities.”

Vania sneered. “If there’s hard evidence like you said, shouldn’t you get Mr. Wright here? Since you’re defending his rights, I believe he must be willing to prove the truth of this matter. Don’t tell me you actually don’t know him personally.”

Melanie straightened up her neck. “Who said that I don’t know him personally?”

Vania dared her, “Alright then, just call Mr. Wright now. Either giving him a video call or getting him here is fine by me; I’m okay even if we have to go to him.”

Melanie could tell from Vania’s uncompromising attitude that the latter was going to fight her to the end. Could I really have bought false information? Are these files not Mr. Wright’s at all? In that case, how am I supposed to find him now? Isn’t that out of the question? She made up an excuse. “Mr. Wright prefers not to show himself.”

It was right of her to say this. Indeed, Mr. Wright had never shown his face in public since his debut in the industry.

Vania gave her another suggestion. “In that case, you can get Mr. Wright’s assistant here too. His assistant has appeared before the public before and was present during many business meetings that had to be done face to face.”
