Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98

What?

The crowd was stunned speechless.

What does that woman mean? What does she mean by “designed by the same person?” What is she trying to say?

Obviously, the judge wasn't able to react promptly, too. He knitted his brows and asked, “Ms. Jefferson, can you please speak in a more straightforward manner?”

Bailey pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed. “It might get even more complicated if I carry on. Anyway, I didn't copy the design. Even if all of you think my design is similar to the work from four years ago, you can't judge me for plagiarism or sentence me for being guilty of it because the copyright is in my possession.”

I'd better not reveal my identity as Snowflake for now to avoid the public's rage. If I tell the entire world that I'm Snowflake, most of them might have a heart attack.

However, even if she didn't directly expose her identity, some people understood what she meant.

For instance, Matthew did.

He widened his eyes and stared at Bailey in disbelief while trembling uncontrollably.

“Because the copyright is in my hands.” I've been a lawyer for decades. How could I not understand what she meant? She's saying that she's the original designer, so there's no plagiarism involved! To put it more simply, the work that was designed four years ago and the work designed this year both belong to her. She merely added new touches to her old design! If she continues to be more straightforward, she'd have to say that Snowflake and Bailey Jefferson are the same person, and the copycat is actually the original designer. In that case, there's no defendant in this lawsuit at all. Hahaha! This is outrageous! It's utterly preposterous! I've been shrewd for decades. I can't believe I'll do something as dumb as this. My reputation and prestige that I've upheld for decades will be destroyed.

The judge was taken aback when he heard what the woman said.

So, she's Snowflake. That's why she's so fearless and composed in court. However, she didn't reveal her identity, so I have to reach a verdict. The two are separate and different matters. It's up to her whether she wishes to file a lawsuit as Snowflake after a verdict is given.

When everyone still hadn't recovered from the shock, the judge hit the gavel and announced that the design was plagiarized in terms of the law since both designs looked identical.

Of course, he wasn't that dumb to say that Bailey plagiarized herself. Instead, he was only talking about the design. With that, he hedged his bets.

Those who still hadn't understood Bailey's words jumped out of their chairs joyfully after hearing the judge's decision. “Amazing! That's more like it!”

Jessica's pretty face was distorted out of excitement. She almost jumped and screamed out of delight.

Yes! The court has convicted that b*tch Baily for plagiarizing! Hahaha!

She grabbed Matthew's arm excitedly and said in a trembling voice, “T-Thank you, Mr. Yoder! I'm really grateful for your help! If it hadn't been for your help, the copycat wouldn't have been thrown into jail!”

Matthew's face paled at that as his lips trembled slightly. He wanted to say something, but there seemed to be a lump in his throat that stopped him from uttering any word.

She's an idiot! A complete idiot! Bailey has made herself clear, and yet she still doesn't get it. Serves her right to be humiliated in front of the public.

Beatrice, Rhonda, and Felicity had joyful expressions on their faces, too.

That b*tch is finally defeated for good! Next, it's time to send her off to prison for a few years.
