“Are you really planning to reveal yourself, Linda?”
Chloe was quite surprised when she heard this from Lina. No one knew Linda was Amber F yet, and revealing this identity could cause trouble Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“Yes. This identity can bring me much more significant opportunities, Linda explained.
She understood that the domestic market was different from the international market. Abroad, as long as your work had depth, a bit of capital maneuvering could ensure success.
Meanwhile, it was all about capital in the domestic market. Without it, cinemas might not even screen it, even if everyone praised your film.
Linda’s only resource was Samson, who had already helped her a lot. She couldn’t always rely on him.
Chloe, who didn’t understand the entertainment industry, said, “I respect your decision. If you need anything, remember to tell me.”
“Don’t worry. I’m not one to stand on ceremony with you.”
That afternoon, Ida was once again trending on social media.
This time, it was due to 20 classmates from the Jewelry Design Department of Osmo Art Academy formally accusing her of academic fraud.
They claimed her graduation project was plagiarized from classmates‘ works and international designers‘ exhibitions.
They provided a 98–page PDF detailing how Ida plagiarized and offered concrete evidence showing that her admission to Osmo Art Academy was thanks to the financial contributions of her family.
The academy received a donation from her family the same year she enrolled. Normally, the academy reserved its admission slots for those who had won international awards or were exceptional foreign students.
However, Ida had neither won any awards nor was she an exceptional foreign student, yet she was admitted.
The implication was obvious.
In addition to the students‘ accusations, the Jewelry Association also received an email from an international designer’s assistant about Ida’s plagiarism.
Chloe compiled all the evidence, along with the students‘ statements, and handed it to Lina to post online for the public to see.
Ida’s previous claims that Chloe was merely jealous and that she hadn’t plagiarized were completely disproven. The 20 students demanded a thorough investigation, the revocation of Ida’s degree, and the
withdrawal of all her awards.
Chloe didn’t come forward herself but let Radiant Jewelry represent her, demanding compensation for damage to her reputation and a public apology.
In recent years, academic misconduct had become increasingly rampant in the country, and this incident caught the attention of the relevant authorities. Osmo Art Academy had no choice but to investigate.
At dinner, Linda said, “It’s fortunate that I insisted on sending you to Franco in Idaly to study design.”
With her mouth full, Chloe looked at her phone and replied, “I’ve always wanted to go to Franco. That has never, changed.”
“Ida thought she could win, but she ended up like this,” Chloe said out of a sense of irony.
“Chloe, she brought it upon herself.”
She had to bear the consequences since she was so bold to do all those things. At the very least, she had to own up to her actions.
Linda had no regrets about her actions. As a victim, she deserved a fair resolution. However, for some reason, she couldn’t feel happy about it.
She suddenly said to Chloe, “Let’s visit Mom and Dad tomorrow.”
Chloe nodded, “Okay. I was just thinking about visiting them, too.”
