The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Nathaniel Sloan Suspects the Truth of the Plagiarism from 5 Years Ago

Laura Jennings was shocked that Estelle Lockwood dared to talk back. She felt completely humiliated and snapped in anger:

"What more is there to say? The evidence of your plagiarism is ironclad! Even if Nathaniel wants to protect you, he won’t be able to!"

Estelle Lockwood glanced up at her. "For the past half-month I’ve been at Evernight International, everyone in the Perfumery Department has watched me develop and revise the fragrance formula. Do you really think whether I plagiarized or not is something Noelle Lockwood can decide with just a few words?"

Laura Jennings was speechless.

The surrounding colleagues exchanged glances and nodded. It was true; they had watched this fragrance formula take shape day by day...

"Miss Lockwood, we understand you want to defend yourself, but don’t drag me into this!"

Just then, the assistant who had been by Estelle Lockwood’s side suddenly took two steps back and said pointedly:

"How would I know if you plagiarized? I wasn’t there when you were writing the formula. I don’t know a thing!"

Laura Jennings was instantly emboldened. "Did you hear that? Even your assistant is implying you plagiarized. Now get out!"

Estelle Lockwood whipped her head around, her eyes narrowing.

This assistant had been assigned to her by Nathaniel Sloan after she arrived at Evernight International.

The assistant had seen her entire perfume creation process with her own eyes, yet now she was claiming she didn’t know?

On top of that, this same assistant had handled her phone yesterday, right before it broke and she couldn’t receive any calls...

Putting all the pieces together, how could Estelle Lockwood not understand? This assistant had been bought by Noelle Lockwood a long time ago!

Estelle Lockwood’s gaze turned icy. "Fine."

"Since Mrs. Sloan, and the rest of you, all believe I plagiarized and want to throw me out, then I’ll leave."

"But don’t ever think you’ll be able to get me to come back!"

Estelle Lockwood turned and walked away. Her imposing aura stunned the crowd. A junior Perfumer whispered, "She’s President Lockwood of Star, after all. Is it really a good idea to kick her out without President Sloan’s permission...?"

Laura Jennings declared loudly, "What belongs to Nathaniel belongs to me! What’s wrong with me kicking her out of my company?"

Hearing this, the crowd finally relaxed.

...

「Meanwhile, in the President’s Office.」

As soon as Nathaniel Sloan received the news, he immediately had the trending topics taken down and launched an investigation.

Noelle Lockwood’s fans were viciously attacking Yara Lockwood for plagiarism, and then... they started attacking Estelle Lockwood.

Nathaniel Sloan couldn’t help but recall an incident from five years ago. The Lockwood Family had accused Estelle Lockwood of plagiarizing Noelle Lockwood. Estelle denied it, but the Lockwood Family produced evidence, and everyone took Noelle’s side.

Afterward, Estelle Lockwood was relentlessly harassed online, and he had no choice but to suppress all information regarding the incident.

But now, it was all being dredged up again... Nathaniel Sloan slowly closed his eyes.

Before long, Rose Lowell and Noelle Lockwood arrived for a visit.

"Nathaniel... I’m so sorry. I had no idea things would get so out of hand. Where is Miss Yara Lockwood? I’ll go and apologize to her..."

The mother-daughter pair was putting on a show, one playing the good cop, the other the bad cop.

"Oh, Noelle! You’re the one who was plagiarized, and you have to be the one to apologize? What kind of nonsense is that?"
