Chapter 285:
Yet, Linsey did not waver.
“I might not have the original drafts anymore, but that doesn’t mean I’m out of evidence. Despite everything, I maintain my stance—this design is uniquely mine.”
Her steadfast position left some wondering about her mental state.
“Has Linsey completely lost touch with reality after all this backlash? What is she trying to say?”
“No original drafts, no proof. Is there anything more to discuss?”
“I was beginning to side with you, but now? You’ve just let everyone down.”
“A plagiarist with a fanbase—how has it come to this?”
Amidst the ongoing fiery discussions, Linsey readied herself to disclose a startling revelation…
“I may not have the original drafts right now, but I certainly have convincing proof. From the start of my design career, I’ve always included a personal touch in my drafts—a unique signature. If Jude didn’t plagiarize my work, how do you explain my initials on the drafts he uploaded?”
Without a moment’s delay, Linsey shared all her past design drafts online. In these drafts, she pointed out her unique security feature—an artistic rendition of her initials.
“I’ve taken screenshots of the drafts Jude posted online. Guess what? His drafts carry my signature too. Does he have a good explanation for this? Furthermore, I reviewed Jude’s past work. His previous designs are nothing like this one—they’re completely different in style. None of his earlier works featured my signature mark. So, who is the real thief here? And who is trying to shift the blame?”
Within ten minutes, Linsey had put together a highly professional comparison chart that clearly showcased all the evidence. Experienced internet users were not easily deceived.
Initially, they believed Jude’s claims. However, with Linsey presenting even more compelling evidence, they soon recognized that something was amiss.
“Is this turning into a plot twist?”
“This is unbelievable! Jude’s drafts actually have Linsey’s signature mark! I’ve checked multiple times. Oh my God! Linsey was telling the truth all along!”
“So, who’s the real plagiarist here?”
“Jude himself posted those drafts. They can’t be fakes.”
“It feels like we’re uncovering a full-scale conspiracy here.”
Before long, several designers came forward to support Linsey, using the trending topic to increase their own exposure.
“I originally thought Linsey was guilty of plagiarism, but having known Jude’s style for years, he just isn’t capable of creating something like this.”
“Linsey might be new to the scene, but her talent is undeniable. She designed a spectacular gown for a prominent socialite in Grester, which earned high praise from industry experts. I saw it myself—it was truly impressive. Given Linsey’s capabilities, it’s entirely plausible that she crafted such a daring, elegant design.”
The unexpected twist in the saga left many of Linsey’s detractors in a state of confusion. Yet, some persisted, inundating the comment sections with forceful denials.
“I don’t see the point of all this drama. Jude uploaded his drafts first!”
“Exactly! It was already clear Linsey had plagiarized, and now suddenly, there’s a chorus of defenders? They must be paid shills.”
“Linsey, just stop with the lies. It’s revolting.”
Initially, the majority of online observers were convinced of Linsey’s guilt. However, public sentiment soon divided sharply.
One half continued to believe Linsey was deceitful, while the other half began to suspect there was more to this story than met the eye.
