"Yes." Violet stood up, expressionlessly.
Phoebe burst into laughter, "So ridiculous! Even if I have left my position, it is only seven or eight minutes. What can I do? And when I left, I didn't pass by you. I can't see your design. How did I copy yours?"
"Right." The people present and the viewers in the live broadcast room also felt that it made sense.
Violet looked at her coldly, "You can't see my design, but the viewers in the live broadcast room can see it."
"What you mean is that some viewers showed me your design, just while I was in the bathroom?" Phoebe smiled.
Violet lifted her chin, noncommittal.
Although Phoebe was panicked that Violet guessed it all at once, she pretended that nothing happened. She curled her lips, “Bullshit! Why do they help me? Besides, did you see I contacted them? We can't use electronic equipment during the competition."
"Yes, when Phoebe went out, I didn't see her holding her mobile phone. How could she contact others to help her? Maybe Violet really misunderstood."
"In this way, two people don't have a tendency to plagiarize each other, and things have gone to a dead end. But two people can’t draw the same design, right?"
The audience at the scene discussed with each other, and the viewers in the live broadcast room was also constantly guessing.
Ivy leaned on the pillow beside the bed, "Stanley, who is the plagiarist?"
"Phoebe!" Stanley did not look at her, staring deeply at the live interface of the mobile phone, and spit out the word coldly.
Ivy's eyes flickered, "Why are you so sure, in case it is not your ex-fiancée, but Violet..."
"Violet is talented. Why would she copy?" Stanley frowned and looked at her, with a slight displeasure in his eyes.
Ivy was stunned, and her hands in the quilt clenched.
He was dissatisfied with her?
She and he grew up together as childhood sweethearts. But in his heart, she was not even as good as a woman whom he had only known for a few months?
Ivy was so shocked. But on her face, it couldn't see anything. The only thing it could be seen was the loss that she was rejected by Stanley.
She lowered her eyelids, covered the gloom in her eyes, and said weakly, "I'm just guessing. Why did you yell at me?"
Stanley was stunned.
Did he yell at her?
He pursed his thin lips then softened his tone, "Sorry, I just want to tell you that Violet is impossible to plagiarize. Since the beginning of the competition, her design has not left the live broadcast scene. On the other hand, before Phoebe went to the bathroom, she didn’t draw anything at all. But after she came back from the bathroom, she could draw it. Obviously, there is a problem."
With that, he took out his cell phone.
Upon seeing this, Ivy pressed her hand on his mobile phone, "Stanley, what are you doing?"
Stanley pulled out the phone, "Check the truth about this matter."
"Do you want to help Miss Hunt?" Ivy squinted.
Stanley was noncommittal.
Ivy bit her lower lip, "Stanley, why do you want to help her? Do you have..."
Stanley knew what Ivy was trying to say, and wanted to admit it. But seeing her swaying body and thinking of what Henry told him that she could not get irritated, he finally denied it. Then he replied, "No. I just admire her."
"Well." Ivy seemed to smile at ease.
Stanley didn't look at her again. He dialed the number of President of the Branch and asked him to call up the monitoring of various places in the building to lock down the people who went to the bathroom during the period when Phoebe was in the bathroom.
As long as the people in that period of time were locked, evidence of Phoebe's plagiarism could be found.
