“And you!” Maisie pointed at Bill without showing him any signs of respect. “You knew she was plagiarizing Ava’s
work but you chose to turn a blind eye. You’re obviously keeping her as your secret lover!”
The sweat on Bill’s forehead increased as he did not expect Maisie to directly accuse him.
“T-That’s not it.” Bill tried to explain himself as he did not dare to offend Maisie anymore. However, he did not know
what he could say.
“If that’s not it, then what exactly is going on?” Mr. Lowe suddenly spoke.
When Mr. Lowe said that, Bill was even more sure there was something unusual going on between him and Maisie.
He could tell that his boss was siding with Maisie.

have missed it as I was not paying attention. Also, look, there are some differences in these two designs…”
“Do you need to quibble over these small differences?” Maisie lifted her beautiful eyebrows and peered at Laura,
who looked like she was at a loss. “Bill, why don’t you explain why you’re protecting this thief who stole other
people’s designs?”
“You…” Bill did not have anything to say about that.
However, Laura could not stand this anymore. “Maisie! How could you call me a thief? We’re all interior designers,
and it’s common to occasionally have similar designs. You’re making something out of nothing. You’re slandering
my reputation in front of everyone in the department. I want you to apologize to me right now. If you don’t, I’ll sue
you for defamation.”
“Alright, do it then. Sue me for defamation and I’ll sue you for plagiarism. We’ll see who gets charged then.”
Maisie was not scared at all. Her strong confidence caused Laura to grit her teeth.
When Ava saw that Laura had nothing more to say and how she was holding herself back, Ava said calmly, “If you
don’t want to make a huge fuss out of this, get the design back from Mr. Rogers and let me handle this project once
again. I don’t need your apology but you have to apologize to Maisie.”
When Laura heard this, she scoffed as if she was amused.
“Ava, do you really think I plagiarized your design? It’s common to have the same ideas. It’s something normal in
the design industry. If you think I plagiarized your work, I can also say that you plagiarized the work of others!”
“If you think I plagiarized someone else’s work, please show us the proof just like how I showed the proof that you
plagiarized my work.”
“You…” Laura suddenly had nothing to say.

Maisie was grinning happily at one side. “Ava, I don’t need them to apologize to me either. These people are so
hypocritical. I don’t want to eat with them. Let’s go somewhere else for supper.”
After she said that, Maisie grabbed the female colleague who advised her just now.
She did not say anything to Mr. Lowe before she left. The group of employees was at a loss.
Mr. Lowe did not stay too long either. His stern eyes scanned Bill who looked extremely nervous before he said
coldly, “Come to my office tomorrow morning and explain everything t o me.”
“Y-Yes, Sir,” Bill replied and then walked Mr. Lowe out in a flattering manner.
The other female employees did not stay as well. Now, only Bill and Laura were left in the private room.
Laura kicked the chair in front of her and sat down in a huff.
“F*ck! I finally found a chance to get rid of Ava and take her position. I didn’t expect Maisie to barge in and ruin this
whole thing!”
Laura complained while feeling extremely pissed.
