Sydney glanced around at the senior executives, a triumphant grin spreading across her face. She knew they'd side with her. After all, she'd been at the Medical Hall for years, her talent unquestionable, while Flora was just a newbie in the Martial World. Only Corbyn seemed to see her as something special!
"I can't understand why Flora's claiming the prescription is hers... Flora, we've had our differences, sure, but accusing me of plagiarism? That's low! Are you trying to ruin me?"
She forced out a couple of tears, her voice trembling, and it tugged at the heartstrings of those watching.
The executives were visibly moved.
"No way. My sister wouldn't falsely accuse you of plagiarism, Sydney. Be honest, did you swipe her prescription?" Corbyn demanded sharply.
Even though he hadn't known Flora long, he trusted she wasn't one to falsely accuse someone. Plus, he'd always doubted Sydney had the chops to come up with such an impressive prescription on her own.
Tears welled up in Sydney's eyes again: "Corbyn, I get that you and Flora are tight, but you can't just throw me under the bus because of that!"
Sydney sobbed, "Please, elders, believe me, I didn't plagiarize!"
"Flora, if you're saying I stole your work, then show us the proof! Otherwise, I'm not letting this slide!"
Oh boy...
Is she really going to deny it to the bitter end?
Flora's dark, icy eyes locked onto her, a slow smirk forming. Sydney felt a chill run through her, sweat soaking her clothes. Fighting off her guilt, she met Flora's gaze, only to see the girl’s amused expression: "Really think I wouldn't have proof? My stuff, even if it were trash, isn't for anyone else to use."
"Flora, if you've got proof, bring it out, and we'll back you. But if not, even with Corbyn’s backing, you'll need to apologize to Sydney today and leave the Medical Hall!" Scott declared. Despite not being fond of Flora, he held a deep respect for the medical profession and wouldn't tolerate any shady behavior.
Sydney's hands, hanging by her side, clenched into fists.
