The onlookers' discussion had thrown Marie completely out of her wits.
And Natalia also looked unwilling to let her go, so suddenly Marie shouted, "That's enough! What kind of business secret? It was just a simple design draft."
"Natalia, you stole Jessica's design five years ago and told everyone it was your own, so that she has missed the opportunity to be admitted to the Royal College of Art."
"Now, you still want to use the original draft of five years ago to frame her again! Do you think it is really yours? You are so vicious. Aren't you afraid of being punished by God?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
What? The design draft in her hand was the one that caused Natalia to be involved in the scandal of five years ago?
What did she mean by that?
Someone had realized what Marie really meant. They turned to look at Natalia with strange looks.
Natalia framed Jessica with the original draft five years ago and claimed that the design was hers, which meant...
Victoria's face also changed as she heard this.
She looked at Natalia and asked her with eye contact.
'Natalia, you only asked me to play this show for you , but you didn't tell me this!'
Of course, she didn't think that Natalia was trying to frame Jessica.
But she didn't expect Marie to say so. After all, there was no evidence for that case at that time, and that was also why Natalia was unable to prove herself. If everyone should just buy what Marie had said today, this farce would not only be turned back against themselves but also get Natalia involved in the scandal again!
Victoria was restless, but Natalia just sneered.
"Do you mean the design draft in this USB drive is the one of five years ago?"
Marie looked confident and replied, "Of course."
"Heh!"
Natalia smiled coldly and said nothing. She went straight to the table next to her, turned on the laptop and inserted the USB drive into it.
Soon, the file was opened up.
"Jessica, since you are here, why don't you come and check what this file really is?"
Jessica was a little shocked when she was asked. She tried her best to calm herself down and walked over. When she saw the colorful design draft on the screen, she widened her eyes in disbelief.
"The origin draft of Amy's latest work?"
Natalia raised her head slightly. "Yes, I found it online. I saved it and wanted to study her latest inspiration and style, but I didn't expect you also to be so interested in it! You should have told me before, since you also like it. I would have asked someone to send you a copy. Actually you had no need to steal it. Do you think so?"
Jessica's face changed dramatically, so did Marie's face.
The matter was out of their control.
Just now, even if Marie was caught, Jessica still didn't give up hope completely.
After all, in the eyes of the public, she was the victim of what had happened five years ago.
As long as she insisted that it was Natalia's plan to frame her, and that she asked Marie to steal the original draft just to ensure a self-protect, everyone would be on her side.
But now...
How could it be like this?
Squinting her eyes, Natalia smiled.
"Jessica, you look so disappointed!"
Jessica couldn't put on the right expression anymore. She felt a chill down her spine when she thought that she had been tricked by Natalia from the beginning to the end.
Beside her, Shawn also sensed that something was wrong. He lowered his voice and asked, "Jessica, what's going on?"
Those onlookers might not know the real relationship between Marie and Jessica, but he certainly knew it.
However, Jessica didn't say anything.
Victoria said impatiently, "Well, since everything is clear, let's call the police!"
Marie shouted, "You can't call the police!"
"Who do you think you are? Why should we listen to you?"
"You can't call the police!"
All of a sudden, Marie pounced over and slapped down on the phone that Victoria was taking out. Fear and panic filled all over her face.
