NovelOnline“Professor Zizka is of such high caliber and reputation. Why would he have any reason to smear Loraine? Yes, the
Torres family is wealthy, but Loraine is, at best, a newcomer in the world of architectural design. Professor Zizka
wouldn't stoop that Low!”
The online bickering intensified, opinions clashing fiercely. But amidst the uproar, Leopold was dumbstruck by
Loraine’s evidence.
He scrutinized Loraine’s drafts, his composure slipping away.
His accusation of plagiarism against Loraine was based on identical designs presented to him by his student,
Keely, designs he held in high regard.
It was this particular work that greatly enhanced Leopold’s admiration for Keely’s exceptional talent.

However, on close inspection, he found Keely’s drafts mirrored
Loraine’s, down to the style.
It was clear the two designs originated from the smind. So, who was the deceiver?
Despite his inclination to trust Keely, Loraine’s numerous originals contrasted with Keely’s single hard copy left
him feeling uneasy.
His heart heavy, he dialed Keely. He needed to confront her personally.
After receiving the call from Leopold, Keely was very uneasy as she made her way to the hotel.
She never expected that Loraine would keep all those drafts. Damn!

Shouldn't they have been thrown away after the design was completed?
She tried hard to calm herself down, but her brain couldn’t stop spinning in a desperate effort to figure out a way
to deal with the situation.
When she finally arrived at Leopold's room, she saw him sporting a Look that was far from happy. The moment
he saw her, he pointed at his computer screen and demanded, “Keely, what's going on?”
Keely went pale immediately. She pinched her hands hard, forcing tears to her eyes.
“Professor Zizka, | really don’t know what happened. But | think it must be Loraine who stole my manuscript,”
she said in a pitiful tone.

“She stole your manuscript?” Leopold asked in shock.
Keely nodded, and quickly added another excuse, “I've been ill for a long tand have been treated abroad. My
study and career have been badly affected as a result. Fortunately, Marco took good care of me.
But... since he was being pressured by his family, he had no choice but to marry Loraine. But immediately she
bechis wife, she made him distance himself from me.”
Keely paused to wipe the nonexistent tears from her eyes before continuing, “Later, | recovered and returned
home. Just so he could take care ofconveniently, Marco tookto the Bryant family. | knew he was married,
but even though | was saddened by it, | always maintained a sense of propriety. But | never expected that
Loraine would be so jealous ofand even target me.”
“What a petty, jealous woman! Was that when she stole your manuscript?”
Leopold asked.
