Mr. Grant Treats Me Like a Treasure-Chapter 130 - 129: The Truth Revealed
Serena Sullivan finished speaking and turned her head with a cold smile, looking at Ruth Hale who still pretended to be calm. ππ£πππ ππππ¨π―ππ.ππ¨π
"Teacher, you just said you personally saw Miss Quinn draw it, so Mr. Grant copied from her."
Four years ago, because of a word from Ruth Hale, Serena was thrown out of the competition, bearing the title of "plagiarist" ever since.
As long as she submitted work under the name "Serena Sullivan", companies or studios would certainly reject it because she allegedly plagiarized the "Brilliance Competition" winnerβs work.
This time, they wanted to use similar tactics against Serena, not realizing that the copied work wasnβt Serenaβs, but Ethan Grantβs.
Seeing her own work prepared for Zoe Quinn swapped in the desk drawer, and recognizing the familiar style of the work, Serena knew Ethan Grant was helping her.
She calmly handed her new work to Yvette Sterling, waiting for todayβs meeting to start, to play along with Zoe Quinnβs act.
To oust her from the top position, Zoe Quinn would certainly seek Ruth Hale, an authority in the jewelry design world, to testify like four years ago.
Ruth Hale pressed her lips tightly, not responding.
She knew Zoe Quinn got her works from Serena, how could she possibly have seen Zoe draw them herself!
Now, answering "yes," or "no," would push her to the center of the storm.
She couldnβt help but look seriously at Serena.
When Serena came back, snatching Zoe Quinn from Ethan Grant, she didnβt take it seriouslyβwhat could a cripple possibly stir up!
Not until Zoe Quinn sought Xie Shao to tarnish Serena but was instead sent to the police station did Ruth sense something amiss, and immediately went to The Sullivan Family to plan with Zoe Quinn for the finalization of the "Infatuation" piece.
Setting up a trap, who wouldβve thought they themselves would be caught in a snare.
"Mr. Grant is impossible to have copied someone else!" The Grant Corporation board member first spoke sternly.
Ethan Grant managed to secure his standing in The Grant Corporation, winning genuine respect for his abilities from the company.
The works he releases each year are extremely popular, plagiarism! This is absolutely impossible.
Moreover, it directly impacts The Grant Corporationβs reputation.
"What nonsense evidence!" The board member said angrily, realizing even if foolish, heβd been used today, "Itβs all nonsense."
This statement directly slapped the face of the jewelry design authorityβRuth Hale.
"Brother Ethan..." Zoe Quinn looked at Ethan Grant, full of tears, speaking slowly, "I am the victim here!"
Now, whatever Zoe Quinn said was useless.
Previously, in order to convince people Serena plagiarized her work, she brought in so many witnesses, and now the sudden turnaround caught her off guardβwho would believe her pleading as a victim?
"Release the video of me designing that work in the office."
After speaking, Ethan Grant stood up and left the conference room first.
It was only then everyone realized why Mr. Grant had been silently fuming throughout the meeting.
It wasnβt Serenaβs alleged plagiarism that embarrassed him? Nor was it Zoe Quinnβs accusation making him angry!
But because, Zoe Quinn adamantly claimed his work was plagiarized!
"Brother Ethan!"
Zoe Quinn panicked; she knew her work was indeed copied, and hearing Ethan Grant wanted to release the design process video, she nervously rushed out after him.
The live broadcast on the phone left on the table exploded across the screen.
