Victor was trying to preserve Selena’s dignity. Seeing how Selena and Victor were buddies, Anastasia had a nagging worry that Victor could be biased towards Selena.

Selena, not realizing the gravity of the situation, quickly crafted a story. “Victor, how was I supposed to know that May would swipe Anastasia’s design? She gave me the design, wanting to brownnose, and even willingly handed over the copyright to me. Wendy was in dire need, so I had no choice. I was framed by May, and I knew she was bad news.”
