Chapter 453

Everyone looked at Adina.

She was breathtaking, and the pink gown made her even more dazzling among the crowd.

She held her champagne glass and raised her eyebrows nonchalantly. “Mdm. Jones, what does losing
your proposal have anything to do with me?” “Ms. Daugherty, are you trying to shirk responsibility?”
Zhenny curled her lips into a sneer.” Why don’t you share with us how you completed this high-difficulty
chip design proposal in one day?” “High difficulty?” Adina frowned. “What do you mean? Is the chip
design proposal very difficult for you?”

Zhenny’s complexion instantly turned pale.

She had lived for forty years, but nobody had ever dared to speak to her like that.

This b*tch did not just steal her proposal, but she even had the audacity to insult her in public. Did this
b*tch think she was easy to deal with?

She scoffed and said, “Ms. Daugherty, you just copied and pasted your proposal, so it’s naturally not
difficult for you.”

She just made an assumption in one sentence.

Adina chuckled. “Mdm. Jones, you accuse me of plagiarism without having any evidence. I can sue you
for defamation.”.

Zhenny’s expression turned cold. “Any inexperienced person can see what happened. Why? Do you
still want to settle this in court?”



The people in the banquet hall cast accusatory looks at Adina. “Ms. Daugherty, this is your fault. If you
file a lawsuit, what advantage do you think you’ll have?”

“Do you truly believe that whatever you stole will last long? You better apologize to Mdm. Jones now. If
your apology is sincere, she won’t look into this any further.”

“How can she not look into the matter? A person like that is an industry black sheep. We should let the
police educate her!”

Richard and Ethan walked out of the crowd and shielded Adina.

“Mdm. Jones, you came over with great fanfare just to convict my niece?” Richard said with a steely
expression.



“You don’t have any witnesses and evidence. Mdm. Jones, aren’t you making a rash statement?” Ethan
said coldly. “My cousin is an intelligent chip designer. Plagiarism is impossible, and she despises
copying other people’s work.” Trent chuckled as well. “Mdm. Jones, are you sure you’re not just
dragging someone down with you because you missed the opportunity to collaborate with Elitos
Corporation?”

Zhenny’s eyes were hostile and angry. “It’s very easy to obtain proof, isn’t it? Mr. Wynters, as

long as you make both our proposals public, everyone will learn the truth from a glance.”

Earley looked at Adina indifferently before he pursed his lips and said, “A proposal is a designer’s
intellectual property. Before I obtain the designer’s permission, it won’t be convenient to make it public.”

Zhenny became even more furious. “So, you’re defending a person who has plagiarized?”



Adina looked at the several people who defended her, and her heart was filled with warmth.

She was used to being alone over the years and used to solving anything by herself. However, many
people stood up for her today.

She smiled at Richard and Ethan before she pushed Trent aside. She walked over and calmly said,
“Mr. Wynters, I agree to make my proposal public.”

Earley glanced at her.

Adina looked him in the eyes. His gaze was extremely dark and profound, as though he had been
asleep in the dark for many years. When she saw his gaze, many dark scenes seemed to play in her
mind, and she felt as if her soul was being dragged into the abyss. She immediately looked away and
lowered her head to take a sip of champagne. Earley waved, and his assistant immediately walked
over from the back. After he uttered a few sentences, his assistant turned around and went to prepare.

Those in the banquet hall had lost interest in the banquet. Everyone was waiting for the two proposals
to be made public. At that time, they would be able to punish the most beautiful woman in Sea City
openly. That sounded like an exciting prospect.
