Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148 Adapt to the Situation

When Nicole left the courtroom with Whitney, the reporters were already waiting outside.

“Miss Lisa, why didn’t you explain the plagiarism before this? Why are you only coming forward now to say that it’s your design from many years ago?”

“That’s right, Miss Lisa. Can we assume that it’s a publicity stunt?”

Obviously, she had already won the case, so she didn’t expect that this group of reporters would still ask such direct and unfriendly questions.

“Miss Lisa, why didn’t you explain that this design belonged to you so that none of this would’ve happened?”

Nicole looked over. The person who asked this question was a man in his early twenties, wearing a plaid shirt and black-rimmed glasses.

She remembered meeting this person at the press conference last time, but she didn’t expect him to be here now.

All of his questions were targeted at her.

Nicole raised her eyebrows, then looked at the man and asked, “Didn’t I say that I didn’t plagiarize the design? But, did you believe it?”

Seeing as Lisa was asking him a question, the man brazenly said, “Then, you could have released the evidence before this. Obviously, you could’ve cleared the suspicion early on, but you delayed it until now. Aren’t you trying to pull a publicity stunt?”

Nicole was a little amused, and the corners of her lips curled up. Faced with his constant questioning, Nicole replied, “Sir, netizens are the ones slandering me for plagiarism. I said that I didn’t plagiarize, but none of you believed it. Afterward, someone came forward to defame me. Why don’t you ask her why she defamed me? Instead, you’re asking if I was pulling a publicity stunt?”

She paused, then sighed before continuing, “When I was previously slandered for plagiarism, you pursued me to ask why I plagiarized. Now that I’ve cleared my name, you’re pursuing me to ask if it’s a publicity stunt? Can I also suspect that you’re paid to deliberately make things hard for me?”
