Chapter 102 The original creator is Leo
After Nora finished speaking, Marilyn wore an angry look as she said, "Miss Smith, you're slandering me! If the Hawn Group doesn't apologize to me, I'll call the police right away!"
"Fine." Nora smiled sarcastically and said, "Just call the police, you're the one who plagiarized anyway."
A reporter on the side smelled something unusual and asked hurriedly, "Miss Smith, may I ask what evidence you have to prove Marilyn's plagiarism?"
"Yes, Miss Smith, can you tell us why you claim that Marilyn is the one who plagiarized?"
"Of course I have!" Nora coldly gave Marilyn a glance and said calmly, "I don't know where Marilyn copied it from, but the original creator of the idea of changing colors in different lights is Leo!"
Leo!
As soon as Nora said this, everyone in the room looked surprised.
Leo was the world-famous and yet mysterious fashion designer!
Up to now, no one had seen her in person.
Was Leo truly the original creator of this idea?
If it was true, how would Nora have known that the idea came from Leo?
"Miss Smith, are you saying that the original creator of this idea is Leo? Is this true?" A reporter on the side asked eagerly.
"Of course." Nora's tone was confident and calm, "In fact, Miss Nana, the head of Leo Studio, is also here at our launch event today. If you have any questions, you can ask Nana."
Two days ago, Nora had contacted Nana as soon as she had read the news about L'amour Jewelry.
Nana had flown to A City soon after and the two of them had agreed to deliver a fatal blow to L'amour Jewelry at today's press conference!
At this moment, Nana, who was sitting in an inconspicuous corner, slowly stood up, took off her glasses, and smiled at Nora.
"Nana! It's Nana for real!"
The scene boiled up in this instant.
In fact, Leo Studio was the top fashion studio in the world and usually, only the royalty of the upper class could meet Nana.
And at this moment, Nana actually appeared at the Hawn Group's press conference!
"Miss Nana, is it true what Miss Smith just said?" Immediately, some reporters swarmed over to Nana in excitement.
"Miss Nana, is the idea of 'Follow Your Heart' indeed the original idea of Leo, and did Miss Marilyn really copy Leo?"
Being bombarded with questions from the reporters one after another, Nana coughed lightly and waved her hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
She cleared her throat and said solemnly, "Yes, that's right. This idea is indeed Leo's original, and Marilyn did copy Leo."
"You're lying!" Marilyn's face changed and she retorted to Nana, "This idea is clearly my original and I have published it two months ago! And what proof do you have that the original creator is Leo?"
Nana sneered, "Excuse me, Marilyn, Leo has already applied for a patent on this idea a year ago, but the patent has not been disclosed yet."
A patent?!
How could this be possible!!!
Marilyn bit her lip and said, "You said Leo has applied for a patent? Who can prove it?"
Nana had expected her to ask this question and calmly showed her the patent of Leo, "Look carefully, this is Leo's patent, with the certification of the International Patent Office. Leo has planned to use this invention on the dress button, and the patent protection includes jewelry design."
So, it really was Leo's original!
The patent that Nana showed made Marilyn unable to speak. Her face was pale and she tried to defend herself but couldn't say a word.
"Marilyn, you copied the idea of Leo Studio and slandered the Hawn Group for plagiarism. Leo Studio will send you a lawyer's letter." Nana said.
Facing the accusations from all the people, Marilyn desperately tried to keep calm and glared at Nora furiously.
It was supposed to be a foolproof plan and the Hawn Group could have been proven to have plagiarized today!
Why did she fail so miserably?
Shouldn't Nana be abroad? Why did she show up at the press conference of the Hawn Group today?
Why was Nora able to get Nana to come here?
Or had Nora already known everything and had set up this trap for her to fall into today?
And at that moment, the young reporter asked reluctantly, "Since now it can be proven that the original creator is Leo, does that mean that the Hawn Group's 'Ice and Fire' is also a copy?"
Even if it was proven that L'amour Jewelry had plagiarized, it would not be a failure to bring the Hawn Group down with it.
Nana laughed, "No, the Hawn Group is a partner of Leo Studio, and we have given the Hawn Group authority to use this patent. So, the Hawn Group did not copy it, and the real copycat is L'amour Jewelry!"
As Nana said that, she took out the release form and showed it to the audience.
When Asher saw the release form, he narrowed his eyes a bit.
When had this release form been signed? How come he had not known about it?
Today, Nora's actions were once again beyond his expectation. She not only countered L'amour Jewelry perfectly but also made the Hawn Group's 'Ice and Fire' even more appealing.
But what was the deal with Nana's appearance?
This was obviously something Nora had expected.
But how had Nora known Nana and had even signed such a release form?
Marilyn was now despised by all the people and even surrounded by some reporters, "Miss Marilyn, could you please tell us why you plagiarized? How do you feel about being exposed on the spot by the original creator?"
Marilyn said with a sullen face, "Sorry, I don't do interviews!"
She pushed the reporters away and was about to leave, when suddenly a cold voice came, "Stop!"
Nora looked up, only to see the man in the limelight suddenly stood up and walked ahead with a calm and steady pace.
His cold and stern eyes looked directly at Marilyn as he said, "What? You're just going to walk away after slandering the Hawn Group out of thin air?"
Marilyn shivered at Asher's powerful low pressure and took a step back as she asked, "What do you want?"
Asher's handsome face was tense and he said coldly, "Apologize to Nora!"
"Why should I apologize to her?" Marilyn clenched her teeth and said indignantly, "Even if the original of 'Follow Your Heart' is Leo, what does that have to do with Nora? Why should I apologize to her?"
Asher said word for word through gritted teeth, "Because your 'Follow Your Heart' was copied from Nora's design!"
