I took the phone and almost immediately confirmed that it was my design.

Moreover, it was the design from my draft, with a few details that hadn’t been finalized yet, copied by someone else. 

But it was this very point that made me instantly understand how my design had fallen into Jessica’s hands, sending a chill down my spine. 

“Don’t worry too much,” Jack reassured in a soothing tone, offering a peace of mind. “Until you figure out how to prove it’s your design, I’ll keep this matter under control.” 

“No need to suppress it,” I said, tucking my long hair behind my ear and smiling. “Let it spread. The more it spreads, the better.” 

I hadn’t expected Jessica to desire so much from me. 

Since she walked right into my trap, I didn’t mind teaching her a lesson. 

Jack’s 

es were 

clear and he smiled faintly. “I was initially worried that consecutive incidents might overwhelm you. Looks like you’ve already thought of a way?” 

“Yeah.” I nodded. “Back in university, Prof. Casterwill told us in class that in this field, to protect our designs, we must always have the ability to prove their authenticity.” 

Amusement was evident in Jack’s amber eyes. “Three years on, you’ve become even more outstanding and learned how to protect yourself.” 

I smiled, puzzled. “Jack, how can you be so sure this design is mine and not suspect me of copying Jessica?” 

“The Charlotte I know wouldn’t stoop to plagiarism.” 

Jack was very certain and chuckled lightly. “And, do you know what it means to support kin over justice?” “Huh?” 

“We’re friends.” 

He teased, half–jokingly, “Whatever you do, I’m on your side.” 

I chuckled. “Do you treat every friend like this?” 

“Yeah.” He shrugged noncommittally and cocked his brows meaningfully. “But I don’t have many friends.” 

That was true. Despite being in their circle for so many years, he seemed closer only to Tom and Ryan, But now, I felt he had grown more distant from Ryan. 

It seemed his only regular friends left were me and Tom. 

I couldn’t help but comfort him, “I have very few friends too. Besides you and Jane, I hardly interact with anyone else.” 

“Yeah, that’s fine.”
