Chapter 24
“You’re saying she plagiarized others, but do you have any evidence?”
Emily gritted her teeth and handed over the evidence she drafted. Pearl narrowed her eyes. So, this was Emily’s scheme.
“This design was taken from Anny’s work. Anny’s a student from a famous foreign university. This bumpkin plagiarized her work!”
Anny was from a famous university while Pearl was a bumpkin, so everyone knew what the right choice was.
“Pearl is so audacious.”
“It’s fine if she can’t come up with a proposal, but why did she plagiarize others?”
“Such a person has no right to stay in our company.”
The crowd was discussing non–stop. Richard avoided their gazes and looked at Pearl. “Do you have anything to say in your defense?”
He inexplicably felt at ease as he looked at her. It was as if he was sure Pearl was not at fault. Still, he wanted to listen to her side of the story..

“Hello, Professor Andrew. I’m so sorry to disturb you,” Pearl apologized as she smiled.
Andrew did not seem upset in the slightest and instead smiled broadly when he saw Pearl. “Anny, it’s been a long time since you last contacted me. I’m very happy you called. I don’t even feel like working on my experiment now.”
“Professor Andrew, you have to work hard on your experiments.”
