“Here are the facts that | was able to find out. Sofia began after everyone signed the agreement. “Miss Davis was someone! knew in college. However, she failed a class and was not able to graduate. Right now, she is claiming that | plagiarized her designs and wants me to pay both compensation and to cease designing bags.”
Once again. Sofia gestured to Miss Amores, who handed everyone a folder.
These were lies, Sofia stated. “My lawyer already filed a case and submitted the proof that we have. Obviously, | still have more proof that | cannot show you as this might affect the case.
She smiled as everyone started opening the folders. The folders include documents, sketches, drafts, timestamps, or any other relevant materials that can help establish my ownership of the designs and refute the plagiarism accusations.”
“Miss Davis said that you stole everything about the design. Miss Paine mentioned.
Sofia chuckled and shook her head. That's just not true. Miss Paine. | spent countless hours crafting those designs from scratch. The folders contain all the evidence my lawyer gathered to show that these are my original creations. There are sketches dating back to my college days, drafts that | worked on over the years, and timestamps that prove the timeline of my design process
She continued with confidence. “I understand Miss Davis's frustration, but | assure you, every element in those folders supports my claim as the true creator. | take pride in my work, and | won’t let false accusations tarnish my reputation. Feel free to go through the folders, and you'll see the truth for yourselves. I’m just here to set the record straight and continue my passion for designing bags.

“Now, this brings me to my next point, Sofia said, catching everyone’s attention again. “Whoever was trying to attack me was trying to attack I.H Group. Are we going to let it pass?”

She continued. “We've built 1.H Group on principles of integrity hard work, and creativity. Accusations like these not only hurt my personal reputation but tarnished the image of our entire company. I’ve dedicated myself to upholding the values that LH Group stands for, and | won't let baseless claims undermine that.”
“To be honest, | was surprised that LH GROUP seemed to be ignoring the fact that the upcoming chairman of the company was accused of something this serious,” Sofia said, looking at the older people inside the room.
