She had no sympathy for Jasmine at all.
All the designs were the result of painstaking efforts by their original designers. Jasmine had misused them for her own selfish gains and deserved to be punished accordingly.
“The reason I’m telling you this is that I hope you will be a witness in court, given that you have provided all the evidence against her,” Mr. Horner explained with a smile.
Natalie nodded. “Don’t worry, I will.”
“That’s good. Furthermore, the international competition will begin in two months’ time. Hence, you will need to prepare yourself to make both our country and J City proud.”
“I will.” Natalie nodded. Suddenly, something occurred to her that caused her to ask, “By the way Mr. Horner, you mentioned that you had something to give me. What is it?”
“Oh, I almost forgot.” Mr. Horner tapped on his forehead. “Age is catching up with me. My memory isn’t what it used to be.”
While he was speaking, he opened his drawer. From it, he took out a box along with a certificate and handed them to her.
Natalie received them curiously.
When she opened the box, she saw a medal inside, causing her curiosity to intensify.
After that, her eyes widened when she looked through the contents of the certificate. “The winner of the Golden Feather Awards, Mina? Mr. Horner, you…”
“You must be surprised at how I know you’re Mina, right?” Mr. Horner chuckled as he looked at her.
Natalie nodded.
Mr. Horner adjusted his reading glasses. “It was Mercede who called me the day before to inform me of it. After that, Mr. Moore told me about Jasmine’s plagiarism case yesterday afternoon. He said that she won the Golden Feather Awards by copying Mina’s design. Now that I know you’re Mina, I…”
“That’s why you told the organizers of the Golden Feather Awards about it?” Natalie raised her eyebrows.
Mr. Horner replied with a smile. “That’s right. They decided on the spot to urgently produce a medal and certificate for you. Since Jasmine’s design actually belongs to you, they must have already updated the Golden Feather Awards official website with your name as the winner.”
