Counterback of the Despised Luna

The room collectively turned to Marilyn, eyes filled with suspicion.

A reporter broke the silence. “Ms. Marilyn, as an internationally renowned designer, why would you choose to publish your work in an obscure magazine?”
Marilyn’s expression darkened, and she snapped back, “Which magazine I choose to publish in is my personal decision! Let’s not get distracted from the real issue. I demand an immediate apology from Eclipse Group and Ms. Sinclair for their plagiarism!”
I narrowed my eyes, my tone sharp as I retorted, “The one who should apologize is you, Marilyn! Because it’s you who plagiarized! Your Unbound design is a complete copy from start to finish!”
Marilyn’s face twisted in anger. “Ms. Sinclair, that’s a baseless accusation! If Eclipse Group doesn’t apologize, I’ll call the police right now!”
“Go ahead.” I pressed my lips into a cold smile. “Since you’re the plagiarist, it’ll save us the trouble.”
The reporters quickly jumped in, eager for clarity. “Ms. Sinclair, do you have evidence to prove that Marilyn plagiarized?”
“Yes, Ms. Sinclair, could you share why you believe Marilyn is the one at fault?”
“Of course I have evidence,” I said coolly, casting a disdainful glance at Marilyn. “I don’t know where exactly you copied this from, Marilyn, but the concept of a design that changes color under different lighting? That was originally created by Loe!”
Loe’s name hit the room like a thunderclap. Shock spread across the faces of everyone present.
“Ms. Sinclair, are you saying that the idea came from Loe? Is this true?” one reporter blurted out in astonishment.
Another quickly followed up. “Are you referring to the world–famous and mysterious fashion designer Loe? But how do you know this idea belongs to Loe?”
I nodded firmly. “That’s correct. In fact, the head of Loe’s studio, Ms. Yura, is here at our press conference today. If anyone has questions, they can ask her directly.”
At that moment, Yura, who had been quietly seated in an inconspicuous corner, stood up. She removed her glasses and smiled at me knowingly.
“Yura! It’s really her!”
The room exploded with excitement.
Loe studio was one of the most prestigious fashion studios in the world, and it was rare for anyone below Alpha rank to even meet Yura, let alone have her attend a public event.
What the audience didn’t know was that as soon as I saw the news about Heartstone Jewels‘ Unbound two days ago, I immediately reached out to Yura.
She flew in shortly after, and we devised a plan to deliver a decisive blow during today’s press conference.
“Ms. Yura, is what Ms. Sinclair just said true?” Reporters swarmed Yura with questions.

Chapter 108 The Original Creator is Loe
“Ms. Yura, is Unbound really Loe’s original concept? Did Marilyn playsetrie Vent
Yura raised a hand to silence the crowd, Clearing, her throat, she spoke with withoney “Yes, that’s correct, The concept was indeed created by Loe, and Marilyn did plagiarize it?
“That’s a lie!” Marilyn’s face flushed as she shouted in defiance. “That concept is my ondads wohl. 1 published it two months ago! What proof do you have that it’s Loe’s creating
Yura sneered. “Marilyn, I’m afraid you’re mistaken. Loe filed a patent for this concept a year ago. It hasn’t been publicly disclosed yet, but it exists”
“Patent? That’s impossible!” Marilyn bit her lip, her voice trembling, “You’re claiming there’s a patent Who can prove that?”
Without missing a beat, Yura pulled out a document from her bag, and held it up for all to see. “This is Loe’s patent, certified by the International Patent Bureau. Originally, this invention was intended for use in dres buttons, but the patent’s scope also covers jewelry design
Reporters and industry professionals rushed forward to examine the patent. After a thorough refer they all confirmed its authenticity–Loe was indeed the original creator.
Marilyn hadn’t anticipated this turn of events. Her face turned pale, and her lips moved as though the wanted to argue, but no words came out.
“Marilyn,” Yura said with a cold smile, “you plagiarized Loe’s concept and falsely accused Eclipse Group of copying you. Loe’s studio will be sending you a legal notice shortly.
The final blow was delivered flawlessly.
The crowd began murmuring, now turning their criticism toward Marilyn. She stood rigidly, her gaze burning with fury as she glared at me.
I looked at her indifferently.
To be fair, her plan was nearly flawless. If it had succeeded, Eclipse Group would have been disgraced, and the plagiarism accusations would have stuck.
But unfortunately for her, she had underestimated me.
Marilyn could never have imagined that I’d convince Yura to attend this press conference in person.
A plan within a plan. For me, everything was under control.
At that moment, the young reporter from earlier, still unwilling to give up, asked, “Now that it’s proven Loe is the original creator, does that mean Eclipse Group’s Ice and Fire also plagiarized?”
Yura chuckled. “Are you out of your mind? Eclipse Group is one of Loe studio’s partners. Loe’s patent was authorized to Eclipse Group long ago. The real plagiarist here is Heartstone Jewels!”
