The reporters started getting excited about the gossip. After listening to Nathaniel’s words and seeingLily smiling warmly, they thought the matter would be settled and not have any more juicy information. Oh, but the tables had turned! Lily had indirectly slapped Nathaniel’s face in front of everyone! The reporters’focal lengths immediately aimed at Nathaniel’s swiftly ashen face while Lily appeared calm. The duo’s expressions greatly contrasted with each other. “Ms. Christian, you mean to say you didn’t plagiarize Ms. Thayer’s work, but she plagiarized yours instead?” Someone immediately asked. Lily smiled, “I would like to correct your words. The word plagiarism means counterfeiting and is also an act of infringement. Although such actions are unacceptable, there is a procedure for self-reprocessing. In addition to plagiarism, there is another act called snatching, which means taking something and changing itinto one’s own. ” “Isn’t that stealing?” The reporter replied

Lily just laughed and didn’t respond. “Lily, what do you mean?!” The crowd turned their heads. Nathaniel raised his arms to half cover his face and spoke directly to Lily. He looked unple asant as he gna shed his teeth. Nathaniel wished he could snap back but could not attack or even make a sound in front of so many people. However, Lily did not even look at him. She looked calmly at the reporter s before her, resembling a genera l who pointed out the battlefield. “As y ou sai d, Ms. Christian, you didn’t sign any c ontracts with MN Inc. , meaning y ou’re not one of their employees. How can you prove that you developed MN Inc. ’s products y ourself? Do you have any evidence?” The reporterswere vig ilant and could always find core issues with this matter

Still, they did not take sides, wanting to ask saucy questions and dig for more information to write hard hitting news. Lily was about to answer the doubtful questions when Melanie , beside her, took the lead, “Whatdo you mean by those words, Lily? Do you mean I stole your creativity and product?” “Ms. Thayer, shouldn’t we be clearer about what’s between us?” Lily asked calml y with a faint smile across her face. Lily had always been tepid, from e ntering the stage to sitting down to answering reporters’ questions. There seemed to be no emotional fluctu ations as her voice was clear and soft but had a forcethat none could ignore. She mixed such a rhetorical question with a strong smell of gunpowder, instantly causi ng a riot among the reporters in the venue. Melanie revealed a furious e xpression as she clenched he r slender fingers into fists. Even though she was smiling, it was a forced one. She tried to be as professional as possib le while gritting her teeth, asking, “I d on’t quite understandwhat you mean, Lily. Can you b e more sp ecific?”. The reporters suppressed their excitement a nd tightly held their cameras and recording pens, fearing missing the tiniest details
