Chapter 108
As soon as the organizers announced this, it caused a media storm
*So, does it mean that Layla’s design is actually Caroline’s? Layla plagiarized Caroline’s work?
“I don’t think things are that simple. The organizers allegedly received the complete design process of one of Caroline’s designs. It looked exactly like Layla’s. Some people suspect that Layla stole Caroline’s design and submitted it as her own.
“There’s no way that’s possible. Only an idiot would do that. At any rate, I don’t believe it. Did
Caroline buy off the organizers? Hurry, Layla! Show some evidence to prove them wrong!”
“I also think that Caroline bought off the organizers. She must be jealous of Layla, so she bribed
them, telling them she’s the original designer.”
“Speaking as a design enthusiast, the concepts of the two designs are completely different. The
winning design emphasizes the packaging’s aesthetic, while the runner–up’s design focuses more

There’s no way they’re made by the same person.”
In response to the public’s overwhelming doubt, the organizers posted Caroline’s design sketches

“I’m Caroline Evans‘ attorney.”
“What kind of PR stunt is this? Hasn’t Mr. Strauss retired? Even Morrison Corp couldn’t hire him.
“I’m dumbfounded. What on earth did Caroline pay him? You better walk away from this, Mr. Strauss. Don’t let her ruin your reputation!”
The netizens were still having a heated discussion when Kai published another post: a
surveillance footage. The video showed Layla visiting Caroline’s home on June 19th.
Kai wrote, “On June 19th, Ms Layla Evans broke into my client’s home, damaging and vandalizing
her property. My client has the right to investigate Layla’s violation of the rules.
“I’ve also submitted her post containing her false claims to the cyber police. Ms. Layla Evans, you
