Chapter 258: Chapter 257

Who Is The Real Thief?

"I don't have the original files with me right now. But I do have undeniable proof."

"From the very beginning of my design career, I have always embedded a special security feature into my drafts. A unique signature. My initials, woven into the artwork itself."

"If Julian Thorne did not steal my work, then how do you explain my initials appearing on the drafts he posted online?"

Evelyn wasted no time.

She immediately began uploading a portfolio of her past design work to the internet.

In each draft, she highlighted the distinctive mark. The artistic rendering of her initials.

"I've taken screenshots of the drafts Julian shared. And guess what? They contain my signature mark. Does he have a plausible explanation for that?"

"Furthermore, I've reviewed Julian Thorne's previous portfolio. His past designs bear no resemblance to this piece. The style is completely different. None of his earlier works feature my personal mark."

"So I ask you again. Who is the real thief here? And who is trying to deflect the blame?"

Within ten minutes, Evelyn had compiled and published a detailed, professional comparison chart. It laid out all the evidence with stark clarity.

The internet, especially seasoned users, was not easily fooled.

They had initially been swayed by Julian's accusations. But faced with Evelyn's more compelling evidence, they quickly realized something was wrong.

"Is this a major plot twist?"

"This is insane! Julian's drafts actually have Evelyn's signature mark! I've checked multiple times. Oh my God! Evelyn was telling the truth all along!"

"So who is the actual plagiarist?"

"Julian posted those drafts himself. They can't be fake."

"This feels like we're uncovering a full-blown conspiracy..."

Soon, several established designers seized the moment. They used the trending topic to voice their support for Evelyn and gain some exposure.

"I originally thought Evelyn was guilty. But having followed Julian's style for years, he simply isn't capable of creating something like this."

"Evelyn might be a newcomer, but her talent is undeniable. She designed a spectacular gown for a prominent socialite here in Crestwood. It received high praise from industry experts. I saw it myself. It was breathtaking. Given Evelyn's skill, it's entirely believable that she created such a bold and elegant design."

The sudden turn of events left many of Evelyn's detractors bewildered. Yet, a stubborn few persisted. They flooded the comment sections with vehement denials.

"I don't see the point of all this drama. Julian uploaded his drafts first!"

"Absolutely! It was obvious Evelyn was guilty of plagiarism. Now, all these people suddenly defending her? They must be hired supporters."

"Evelyn, just stop lying. It's disgusting."

At first, most people online were certain of Evelyn's guilt.

But public opinion quickly split into two opposing sides.

One side remained convinced Evelyn was a fraud. The other side started to wonder if there was a hidden truth behind the accusations.

This division sparked a wave of independent investigations. People were eager to dig up more details.

One of these investigators was a famous hacker.

The hacker acted swiftly, targeting the backend of Julian Thorne's account. What was discovered there would completely颠覆 the case...
