Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 20 Elspeth Is Anny

“Do you have any proof that she plagiarized someone else’s work?”

Gritting her teeth, Ava submitted the evidence she had compiled while Elspeth narrowed her eyes at the scene. So, this is her plan…

“The creativity of this design comes from Anny’s work. She’s a famous college student from abroad. This woman who came from the countryside clearly plagiarized her work!”

One was from a prestigious college while the other was a country bumpkin, so everyone could distinguish the situation at this point.

“That’s some acting skill Elspeth has!”

“It’s fine if she can’t do it, but why does she have to plagiarize?”

“How can someone like her stay in the company?”

Discussions broke out throughout the room, but Callum avoided everyone’s gaze and looked at the accused in question. “Elspeth, do you have anything to say for yourself?”

Looking into those smiling eyes, he had an inexplicable sense of calmness. It was as if he was sure that she had done nothing wrong in this matter. Still, he wanted to hear her argument before anything.

Smiling, she nodded. “You’re right. I did borrow some inspiration, but I didn’t expect you to be so meticulous.”

Ava thought she was nearing success and started speaking without any restraint, “Mr. Winthrop, not only is this country bumpkin free-riding, she plagiarized someone else’s work! Someone like her shouldn’t stay in the company, so I suggest that you fire her!”

Meanwhile, Callum lightly furrowed his brows while waiting for Elspeth to speak.

“Then, what if… I’m Anny?”

That had Ava bursting out in laughter. “You’re Anny? Stop joking, Elspeth. If you’re Anny, I’ll immediately tender my resignation and hand over my position to you!” How could Anny, the genius who finished her double major at an early age, be willing to become an ordinary employee after returning from her studies?
