They stood with their backs towards Theo Clark and Calvin Stewart, avoiding a direct confrontation between the couple.
Arthur North had just told them not to get involved and to watch from the sidelines. After all, this was a personal matter between him and the Maxwell family.
He didnāt want any part of the Clark Familyās shares, fully embracing the idea of being independent from the family.
At the banquet scene, many people didnāt know Arthur North,
but they were aware of his relationship with Daisy Zane.
Not only had they been photographed together, but many from the drama crew knew that Arthur had visited the set.
They knew Arthur North was not ordinary, as the director had always greeted him with a smile.
But they never expected him to be this influential.
So, when they heard the words āClark Family,ā a gasp went through the crowd.
Though everyone tried to contain their surprise, the commotion was still noticeable in the scene.
āThird Master, I think you should get to know Lady Zane first before deciding if she should be treated as family.ā Jessica Maxwell suddenly whispered.
āWhy are you everywhere?ā Olivia Lane retorted.
Jessica furrowed her brows and shot back: āWhy are you everywhere?!ā
āThis is myā¦ā Olivia snapped back but was interrupted by William Lane pushing her head down and holding her behind him, saying āBehave.ā
She fell silent.
Mrs. Maxwell said, āThird Master, as an outsider, itās not right for us to say too much.ā freeš¤ebnovel.com
āThen donāt say anything.ā Arthur North replied.
Daisy Zaneās mouth twitched slightly.
Noticing her urge to laugh, Arthur gently squeezed her hand.
William Lane observed their subtle interaction, finding it quite numerous.
Mrs. Maxwell felt even more furious after being silenced. Chin raised, she said harshly, āChoosing a wife should be done carefully. A woman like her will only ruin your reputation. Plagiarizing someone elseās work, what kind of decent person would do that?ā
āPlagiarized work? Where is the evidence?ā Arthur Northās voice was light and cold, terrifying to hear. āBesidesā¦ marrying her would be the Clark Familyās honor, my honor.ā
Both William Lane and Olivia Lane turned to look at Arthur North.
As if it was just an ordinary statement, he didnāt show any particular emotion.
If anything, he seemed to be suppressing the urge to strangle the person in front of him.
Mrs. Maxwell didnāt expect Arthur North to say this. She pointed to the screen and said, āThe evidence is right there. The staff of Spotlight came forward to testify. What other evidence do we need? The necklace in the design draft is exactly the same.ā
At her words, everyone started whispering amongst themselves.
Most agreed that Daisy Zane would not be able to escape this time, as the matter seemed set in stone.
Spotlight staff even released the photos.
Amelia Miles stood at the edge of the crowd, sipping from her wine glass. She set it aside and pushed through the gathering.
āMadam, there must be some misunderstanding.ā Amelia made her way into the crowd, addressing Mrs. Maxwell, āMy older sister is not that kind of person.ā
No one spoke when she appeared, as they were all waiting to see what she might do next.
Taking advantage of the silence, Amelia smoothly moved closer to Williams Lane, insisting, āI trust that my sister would never do such a thing.ā
āIs your trust evidence?ā Mrs. Maxwell asked in response.

Soon, Amelia Miles and Mrs. Maxwell were going head-to-head.
Allonzo Hobson handed Robinson Scott a fruit juice.
Robinson took the juice before looking at Allonzo: āWhereās the wine?ā
āFruit juice goes better with watching a spectacle,ā Allonzo said, āWine gets you drunk too easily.ā
Robinson paused and tacitly accepted Allonzoās words, taking a sip of the fruit juice.
Then they continued watching.
āToday, Mr. Baker is also here,ā Amelia Miles said, āWe can ask him face to face, and everything will be clear. Why does this lady have to be so aggressive?ā
Amelia Miles now hopes that they could quickly call Felix Baker over and establish that Daisy Zane plagiarized.
She had seen the design sketch at her brotherās place.
It was Clayson Ninevaraās design sketch.
Daisy Zane could not escape plagiarism charges.
Daisy Zane immediately understood Ameliaās intention after hearing her words.
She called Felix Baker over, not to help but to accuse her faster and make her lose her reputation.
āWhat would calling Felix Baker over change? Her plagiarism is still plagiarism!ā Mrs. Maxwell protested excitedly, āNow, if you want to protect her, you have to admit that the necklace on Best Actress Turnerās neck was not designed by her.ā
The Hobson Canal couple and the Turner couple were standing at the back of the crowd and could hear her words.
Phoebe Turner blamed herself repeatedly, saying, āItās all my fault. I shouldnāt have mentioned Lucia.ā
Calvin Stewart comforted her: āDonāt worry. Xavier and Third Brother have a solution.ā
Daisy Zane glanced at Amelia Miles, who was standing beside William Lane.
People who didnāt know might think they had a close relationship.
Her gaze moved from Ameliaās face to Mrs. Maxwellās, and she said softly, āWhy do I need to deny something I designed myself?ā
āSo, you admit you plagiarized?ā Jessica Maxwell asked.
āYour comprehensionā¦ still needs more reading,ā Daisy Zane said, looking at Mrs. Maxwell with a faint gaze that was also oppressive, āThe work is my design and the design sketch is mine too. Do you understand now?ā
Everyone was taken aback.
Even the onlookers were stunned; they could understand each word Daisy Zane said, but somehow, they couldnāt understand the sentence as a whole.
Mrs. Maxwell hesitated for a moment before saying, āWhat a joke! The staff at Spotlight has clearly stated that the design sketch was drawn years ago by a Clayson Ninevara designer. Are you treating us as idiots or illiterates?ā
Daisy Zane and Harton Clarkās hands were intertwined, and she turned the ring on Hartonās finger, signaling him that she would handle this herself: āCall yourself an idiot or an illiterate, but donāt involve others.ā
Olivia Lane, who was standing behind William Lane, couldnāt help but laugh.
āStop quibbling! The truth is right in front of us. Can you deny it with just a few words?ā Mrs. Maxwell became increasingly agitated and vicious, āThe work is yours, the design sketch is yours? What does that mean? Are you saying that Clayson Ninevara plagiarized you?ā
Daisy Zane: āā¦If you insist on saying that, itās not impossible.ā
All attendees:
It was chaos in the banquet hall.
Lily Parker had a puzzled face.
The insiders remained indifferent.
Mrs. Maxwell just heard the biggest joke, āClayson Ninevara plagiarized you? Are you worthy? Clayson Ninevara had plagiarized? Why donāt you sue them for plagiarism.ā
āWho spread the rumors about my Chief Designer plagiarizing?ā Felix Bakerās voice was loud, just following Mrs. Maxwellās statement, and it was getting closer, his footsteps hurried.
Joseph Allen finally brought him backā¦
Felix Baker entered the crowd, and Joseph Allen stood outside the crowd.
As soon as Felix Baker arrived, everyoneās interested expressions became even more excited.
It was as if they were saying.
The gossip is feeding me, forcing me to eat it.
Amelia Miles saw Felix Baker, her mouth corners were almost imperceptible.
Mrs. Maxwell seemed to see her savior, āMr. Baker, itās her. She plagiarized Clayson Ninevaraās work. And she even said they plagiarized her.ā
Felix Baker and Joseph Allen had figured out the situation on their way here, so when he looked at Mrs. Maxwell, he realized she must have had a grudge against Clayson Ninevara. Otherwise, she wouldnāt be clinging to this in such an event.
Then he looked at Daisy Zane, his face showing difficulty, he hesitated and said, āDaisy, Iām not trying to hide your identity, but the trouble is too much. Look, itās not just about saying youāre a virtual person anymore. Now the trouble is coming to you.ā
Daisy Zane:
Everyone is confused, but why canāt they understand?
What is this bizarre statement?
As everyone was puzzled, Felix Baker stood next to Daisy Zane, straightened his expression, and said, āSince weāre talking about this and today is the birthday of our global spokesperson, Iāll take this opportunity to introduce her to everyone. Daisy Zane, my Chief Designer at Spotlight, Clayson Ninevara.ā
