Behind her, Derek saw her sad face and felt heartbroken. He strode forward and pulled Nora up into his arms.
Nora stiffened and subconsciously tried to struggle. Derek held her tighter, "Don't move."
The two of them hugged each other so intimately for the first time since they reunioned. Derek patted her gently on the back, "Live here in the next few days. You don't need to go to the company for the time being. Just take a vacation and spend more time with our son at home."
"Don't worry about the results. With me around, I won't let you suffer like this."
"It won't take long. I'll give you a satisfactory result."
His soft voice echoed in Nora's ears, and her stiff body gradually relaxed.
She could not deny that at this moment, this man gave her an indescribable sense of security, and all her negative emotions just now dissipated.
This sense of security was too tempting, coupled with Derek's strong manner, so Nora could not refuse, and she did not want to refuse at this moment.
Easton looked up at the two of them, rolled his eyes, and pursed his mouth, wanting to speak, but Derek seemed to have felt something. With a look in his eyes, Easton immediately did not dare to speak.
In the study.
Now, Nora completely calmed down. She knew that the most important thing now was not immersed in her sadness, but to find a way to solve this problem.
"In the middle of that long time from the completion in the hospital to the submission of it, the possibility of theft is too high. Do you have any suspicions in your heart?" Derek asked.
Suspect?
The first one that came to Nora's mind was Sheldon. She shook her head, trying to get the idea out of her mind.
"Why? Who did you think of?"
She hesitated for a moment, thinking that there was no need to keep secret, and then said that Sheldon had asked her to design the manuscript as a reference sample for the Design Department of the Jones Group.
This was not the first time Sheldon had made such a request since she joined the Jones Group for a year or two, so Nora did not take it to heart.
Derek was not surprised by this answer and said bluntly, "In this case of plagiarism, Sheldon is obviously an important breakthrough."
Nora frowned and subconsciously defended Sheldon.
Derek was very upset, but did not show it, "Do you know who Aubrey is?"
She pursed her lips and shook her head. She looked serious. Obviously, she didn't like the woman who copied her design and framed her.
"Aubrey is a designer. This is her information and some of her works. You can tell by reading them."
Derek handed her a document that he had already investigated.
Nora took it and read it page by page. Her face changed when she saw some of Aubrey's previous works, especially her prize-winning works.
"No, this design? And this one..."
She was stunned and speechless as she stared at the composition of several works in the prize area. According to this document, there were three of her winning works.
