Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 586

"Come down, then we'll talk," Winston said, his expression turning sour. He did not wish to escalate the situation.

"You can just go ahead and tell me about it now."

"Joseph, come down from the stage now! We know you plagiarized this project!" Silas, no longer able to bear, piped up. He wanted to play the victim card and exposed Joseph to protect himself.

As soon as those words were spoken, a commotion erupted throughout the audience. After reading the documents, a range of expressions surfaced—disdain, shock, doubt, disbelief—all fixated on the man standing on the stage.

With a sneer, Joseph asked, "Where did these documents come from?"

"Mr. Otto was the one who gave them to us," Winston said, expressing gratitude toward Otto.

"Yes, I'm the one who gave these documents to them," Otto openly admitted, his tone tinged with provocation. "I happened to stumble upon it. Mr. Joseph, I hope you won't hold it against me."

"No, I won't." Joseph remained calm as he looked toward Lucas. "Show everyone the software patent we applied for a year ago."

When Otto received the patent report, his face turned pale.

'How could Preston not have known about these basic details? What a useless idiot!'

"So… Who copied whom?"

"Are you stupid? The Whitman Group holds the patent, so of course, they're the owner of the software."

"No wonder this other company only dares to operate overseas."

With a strong and commanding presence, Joseph fixed his piercing gaze upon Otto seated among the crowd. His voice carried a tone of accusation as he revealed the truth.

"The Whitman Group’s confidential files were leaked because Preston stole them and sold them. Nobody, not even the police, knows to whom it was sold or at what price. So, how did you manage to obtain such information, Mr. Otto?"

Even though Joseph did not explicitly say it, everyone present was smart enough to read between the lines.
