Chapter 502

"I'm disappointed in you, Ivan, I thought I knew who you were as a person!"

"No! This is a misunderstanding!" Ivan, so consumed by fear, decided to come clean. "This isn't even my design; 1 stole it from Catelyn Clark! I have no idea about any of that..."

Ivan naively thought that if he came clean, Madam Smith would forgive him and started investigating Catelyn

What he did not expect was for Madam Smith to become even angrier.

"As a designer, you should know that every design is like a child to its designer. How dare you steal someone else's child?"

William, on the other hand, was mystified upon hearing this, and the veins on his forehead became visible as he hissed, "Ivan, how could you?!"

Was the previous model stolen from Catelyn as well? That explained why Catelyn would leak the video of Ivan and Amy!

The more Ivan thought to himself, the more he realized that he had been played.

"1-I didn't steal it! What I meant was..."

Ivan realized that he had messed up amid his panic, and thus, he started rambling, "Amy was the one who gave me the design! Yes, that's right-Amy said she worked on it along with Catelyn! Catelyn was the creative mind behind the design. You can ask Amy if you don't believe me!"

Madam Smith did not want to hear Ivan's explanation any further. After all, what he did was irreparable.

Nonetheless, she needed to find out who had stolen her husband's work.

Catelyn and Amy arrived at the conference room together.

Amy was in a state of fright after her encounter with Cedrick at the mall. Thus, she walked with her head hung low the whole time without looking at Catelyn once.

"Amy, are you aware that the design draft you gave me was the late Mister Smith's posthumous work?"

Ivan had been gesturing at Amy with his eyes the moment he saw Amy walk in.

Amy's pupil dilated and appeared to be shocked. "Posthumous work?"

"That's right! You were the one who gave me the design and told me that it was yours and Catelyn's work. What's your explanation?" questioned Ivan firmly. Knowing Amy, she would definitely pin it entirely on Catelyn.

Being pressured by Ivan, the flushed-faced Amy sneaked a look at Catelyn.

How could that be Mister Smith's work? Was that not Catelyn's creation?

Crap... They fell for Catelyn's trap!

Catelyn looked at the design draft on the table as an expression of shock overtook her face. "Hm? Isn't that the draft by Professor Smith that I got from the library as a reference? Amy, you must be mistaken; I've never worked with you on a design before."

William was desperate to find out the truth behind everything so that he could provide an explanation to

Madam Smith

"Amy, how did you get the draft?"

"Say it! It was Catelyn who had stolen the works of Mister Smith!"

Seeing as Amy hesitated, Ivan shoved Amy in frustration.

The creases between Madam Smith's brows deepened. After all, she despised men who would bully women

Amy was pushed so hard that she almost knocked into the corner of a table. Hundreds of thoughts went through her mind, but she eventually gritted her teeth and said, "I've never seen this draft in my life. What do you want me to say, Uncle Ivan?".

Ivan's face contorted grimly at this.

"You were the one who gave me the draft! How dare you say that you've never seen it before?" "When did I give it to you? Your name is the only one on it! It's true that I'm in love with you, but you can't make me take the blame for you when you're in trouble!"

Amy had decided and was determined to deny everything.

She knew Cedrick was not a man to mess with. Somehow, she felt fortunate that she had met Cedrick before this interrogation happened.
