Chapter 113 Conflict
Susan's expression was calm and her words were sharp, so Lily could not help but panic.
How on earth would she know about an ancient African totem?
Her design was entirely crafted out of Susan's!
Lily tried to calm herself down, then said, "Oh yeah, I recall now. It's an ancient African totem, I almost forgot about it for a second!"
"Oh, really?" Susan smirked, "Too bad then since I was just joking around. There was no ancient African tribe to begin with. This floor mat design is the 2014 collection released by Warfel Co. Ltd. I felt that the shapes had a very interesting element of mystery, so I incorporated them into my drawing." 1
As Susan spoke, some people had already begun searching on the internet.
Soon, the crowd started getting noisy again.
"It really is."
"It actually is the old edition released by Warfel Co. Ltd." Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
"Ancient African totem, this is hilarious, forgot my ass."
They discussed in low voices while giving Lily dirty
looks.
"Wow," Chance exclaimed with a smile. "Lily, not bad, you can even recognize an ancient African totem from an ordinary floor mat."
"Susan Shelby!" Lily glared at Susan in humiliation." You lied to me."
"I lied to you?" Susan snickered coldly, "If this design really is your own work, why would you fall for such a n amateur trick? Lily, this design is mine! The person who plagiarized is you."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Lily panicked. "I didn’t plagiarize. Just by looking at our work, everyone can tell that mine is better than yours."
"Yes, that's true," Susan nodded. "The design you presented is an enhanced version of my work. However, I doubt that it is within your capability to produce work of such quality. I'm afraid that someone helped you behind the scenes."
Everyone looked towards Sheldon.
The weather was a little chilling, but Sheldon’s forehead was covered in sweat.
Susan looked at him and he quickly denied, "No, I never intervened in this draft. The design was already like this when Lily submitted it to me. She tricked me into thinking that it was Ms. Shelby who plagiarized her work. However, based on what Ms. Shelby described, it was clear that the true owner of this design is Ms. Shelby! The person who plagiarized is
Lily. Naturally, the person who is disqualified is also Lily."
Sheldon looked eagerly at Julian and Susan for a sign of approval.
Lily could not believe that Sheldon changed his words so quickly!
She looked at Sheldon in shock.
"Lily, you wrongly accused Susan of plagiarism and intentionally misled me to make an erroneous decision. You're such an evil and corrupt woman. I now declare that you are the one who is
disqualified from the competition. Please, leave now," Sheldon said righteously.
In just a few words, he pushed all the blame onto Lily alone.
Lily could not take his shameless behavior, so she glared at him in disbelief and lost her sanity," Sheldon, so you want to push everything to me now? It was you who said that if I slept with you, you would promise me a position in the top ten finalists and help me in my career. It was your idea to frame Susan with plagiarism, and I was just playing along. If you call me corrupt, you are only a thousand times worse!”
"What are you talking about?" Sheldon denied immediately, "I have nothing to do with you. Stop slandering me."
"Me? Slandering you?" Lily snickered coldly. Now that her life was screwed up entirely, she would never let
Sheldon live in peace without her!
"When we were having sex, I saw a red birthmark on your bottom. No one else can see such a private area, right? If you are truly innocent, take off your pants and prove it to us!" Lily exclaimed. 1
"You..." Sheldon held his bottom subconsciously, "How are you so shameless?" 1
Julian had been watching the ridiculous farce silently until now. He interrupted and said calmly, "Well, then, let’s take off his pants and see it for ourselves." 2
"Okie dokie!” Chance walked towards Sheldon excitedly, and several others followed suit. 2
Poor Sheldon was surrounded by a group of people. His pants were taken off in no time.
Susan tip-toed to try and look for the red birthmark on Sheldon’s bottom. 2
Julian's face turned grim and held her back.
"What's wrong? I can't see anything from here," Susan resisted. 2
"What do you want to see?" Julian glared at Susan, "Sit properly."
"What a bore," Susan pouted in annoyance, "Actually, I've already seen it once when I caught them having sex. It’s just that I didn't manage to see it clearly then." 2
Julian felt speechless.
She did not see clearly? And why did she sound so disappointed about that? 2 "The next time you see something like this, close your eyes immediately," Julian warned.
"Fine, fine." Knowing that she probably would not be able to see it, Susan gave up in frustration.
Julian was amused by her childishness. He leaned closer and whispered next to her ear, "If you want to see, I will let you see mine as much as you want when we get back home."
His voice was deep, hinting at something inappropriate.
Susan could not help but blush.
She glared at Julian.
How could he flirt so shamelessly?
Seeing Susan's embarrassed expression, Julian's gaze deepened.
"There it is, there it is, there really is a red birthmark!" someone shouted loudly.
The crowd dispersed, revealing Sheldon who was holding his pants up in a panic.
"So, my words can finally be proven?" Lily snickered," This so-called Mr. Parsons is not as righteous as he seems. What happened today was all planned by him!"
Then, Lily turned to Julian and pleaded, "Mr. Shaw, I only stole Susan’s work because I was blinded by his words. I really didn't do it on purpose."
Sheldon was furious, "B*tch! Quit acting! You were the one who brought me to the office and then lured Susan in! You wanted Susan to see what happened between us so that I would act on her!"
Sheldon's eyes were full of regret.
He had always known about Lily’s plan, but he thought that framing Susan would not be a difficult thing, so he just played along.
Had he known that Susan was related to Julian, never in his life would he ever dare to frame her!
"Mr. Shaw, it was Lily, it was Lily who planned everything," Sheldon announced loudly.
"It was you!" Lily screamed.
The two of them kept on blaming each other and eventually ended up in an absurd wrestle.
