"How dare you present a plagiarized work? You're shameless."
"Someone like you dares to be a designer? Get out of here!"
Their voices flooded my ears one after another.
I smiled at Catherine. "You're saying this design is yours?"
Catherine held her head high. "Mia, I know we're short on time, but this really is my work."
Just then, Jacob walked over.
His face was grim as he snapped, "Mia, get down right now. You've embarrassed us enough."
I bit my lip, releasing it only when he finished speaking.
In that moment, I finally found peace.
The boy I once cherished deeply had long disappeared into the river of time.
Standing before me now was Jacob, the man who loved Catherine.
I gave Catherine a smirk. "You're the one who plagiarized, aren't you?"
Hearing that, Catherine's face turned pale. Her anger surged like a tide. Her eyes reddened with fury as she trembled, glaring at me.
