The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223 

With a mocking laugh, Oscar didn’t even give them a chance to explain. “She probably memorized all the designs beforehand and then painstakingly drew them out every day, trying to put on an act!” 

“I didn’t…” Molly tried desperately to defend herself, tears streaming down her face. “I drew these all by myself. If someone’s copying, it’s them copying my designs!” 

Oscar couldn’t help but chuckle at that. “Who are you up against? SY Fashion! That’s a big–shot clothing company! The designer of those 23 new styles is the famous Jason! Who are you? Just a young girl. Would they even know who you are? Where would they find your designs to copy?” 

“…” Molly felt utterly helpless. 

“If your designing skills are so superb, then why haven’t we seen such exquisite designs from you before?” 

In a rush, Molly explained, “Before I drew these designs, I got a lot of advice from Ms. Bennett. Her tips sparked my inspiration, and that’s how I came up with these!” 

If it wasn’t for Arabella’s inspiration, Molly might still be stuck. 

Oscar gave a cynical laugh. “From what I’m hearing, it sounds like Ms. Bennett taught you how to plagiarize other people’s designs?” 

“No!” Molly, angry and agitated, wiped away her tears. “You can twist my words, insult me all you want, but don’t you dare insult Ms. Bennett! She’s not like that! She wouldn’t do such a thing!” 

“Your strong reaction is easily misinterpreted. Are you defending Ms. Bennett or scared that the truth will be exposed…?” 

“You’re going too far!” Molly clenched her fists, wishing she could punch him. He was bullying her too much! 

Just then, a cold voice sounded. 

“Mr. Oscar, you’re a grown man. Why pick on a young girl?” 

Everyone turned towards the voice. It was Ms. Bennett. Ms. Bennett had arrived!! 

Everyone looked at Arabella as if she was their savior… 

Before Arabella arrived, their whole department, especially Molly, had been wronged a lot! 

“Ms. Bennett…” Seeing her, Molly felt a wave of emotion and loosened her fist, tears rolling down her cheeks. 

“Clean your tears.” Arabella glanced at Molly, speaking gently. “The upright have nothing to fear from jealousy. If you did nothing wrong, then don’t cry.” 

Molly obediently nodded and quickly wiped away her tears. 

Oscar watched Arabella defending Molly, scoffing. “Such a big incident happened in the company, and I just found some leads. Ms. Bennett comes in to interfere. People might think Ms. Bennett is trying to steal the credit.” 

Arabella gave a cold smile. “Mr. Oscar is so eager to have someone confess, even more than the police. People might think you’re just looking for a scapegoat.” 

The whole department was shocked by her words…
