Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 514 - Is There Any Other Evidence?

Lisa was not a stupid woman. She already knew something was wrong when she saw Patricia had done comparing their proposals in less than 10 minutes. If she was in Patricia's position, it is certain that she would spend at least half an hour. Lisa is willing to bet that Patricia must have been bribed by Maria to work with her, to bring her down in this company.

If Maria and Patricia had agreed to cooperate with each other, Lisa's efforts to defend herself would have been in vain. Even if she defended herself until she foamed, they wouldn't change their minds.

Lisa ignored Maria's insistence and looked at Patricia, "Hey, you have a brain, right? Don't try to accuse people baselessly! I worked on my proposal alone, I'm not plagiarizing anyone's work!"

"Why do you think I plagiarized Patricia's proposal, huh? I think it's you," Lisa pointed at Patricia, "You plagiarized my proposal, not the other way around!"

Actually, Lisa didn't think so at all. Earlier, she didn't think that Patricia plagiarized her proposal. But since she was too emotional, the woman had to defend herself. As a result, the words that came out of her lips made the other two women laugh quite loudly.

Patricia raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Wait, you think I plagiarized your proposal? Gosh, you really have lost your mind, huh! I already said that I made the proposal last month, while you only submitted your proposal this week. How could I plagiarize your proposal?"

"Look, if you're wrong, then just admit that you're wrong! Don't twist the facts and accuse someone else of doing you wrong!" Maria said, trying to defend Patricia.

Indeed, Lisa herself knew that what she said sounded ridiculous. How could Patricia have plagiarized the results of her proposal if she had completed her proposal last month? But Lisa doesn't care anymore. She would say anything to defend herself. Because in this room, no one can defend her except herself.

"Patricia, I apologize in advance for Lisa's embarrassing attitude towards you. Sorry if her words offended your pride. I should have told you to work on this proposal, not the new employee." 

Maria's last words sounded so insulting in Lisa's ears. She was embarrassed to see Maria's eyes scanning her from top to bottom with a mocking look.

Hearing that made Patricia even more confident. She knew that in this room, Maria would defend her to the fullest. Having such thoughts made the woman lift her chin even more.

"Lisa, I don't know what your problem with me is that you accuse me carelessly. If I made a mistake, I apologize. But as far as I know, it was you who made the mistake. You plagiarized my proposal but why should I apologize?"

"This is the result of my proposal," Patricia raised her work, "And I already told you that it was you who plagiarized my work. I know that you are plagiarizing my proposal, and I already said that I will not take this matter to court. You just need to apologize and that's it, our problem will be over here."

"So how? Patricia already said that you plagiarized her proposal. What do you want to do now?" Maria asked while propping her chin up. If she hadn't remembered that she was now their boss, she would have definitely brought popcorn and coke. Their fierce fight looks more interesting than the soap operas she usually sees!

An uneasy feeling filled Lisa's entire body. Now she was even more convinced that Patricia and Maria were working together to slander her in this company. Or worse, they work together to get her out of the company. Lisa had met too many fake people, so now she knew that the two were conspiring together.

Usually, if someone else were in her shoes, they would definitely give up because they had nobody to defend them. Perhaps they would rush to apologize so that their problems would be quickly resolved. But Lisa isn't like other people. She didn't want to just give up and allow herself to be accused so carelessly!

"Okay, let's just pretend that I really plagiarized your work. Now can you prove to me that you made that proposal last month? If not, is there any evidence to support your accusations? Apart from that proposal."

"Never mind this girl!" Maria grumbled. She rested her head on the back of the chair for a moment and then sighed, "Are the printouts of the proposal not enough evidence for you? What more proof do you need, huh!?"

Hearing that made Lisa a little surprised. She himself also didn't know what evidence Patricia had to give her so that she could prove the truth. 

Lisa increasingly felt herself being framed or accused by several people at once. This happened so many times that the wound in her heart still felt fresh and sore whenever someone did the same thing to her again. 

Maybe, if Maria said that the proposal wasn't good enough so that the High Creative Ads company didn't want to work with them, Lisa would be fine and accept the reality. But once the woman said that her proposal was a result of plagiarism, Lisa couldn't let this go! Nobody knew how much blood and tears that came out of her eyes when she worked on it, that's why she wouldn't give up easily. Lisa will continue to search for the truth.

"Patricia, before this, I honestly never knew that you were also an employee here. As long as I work here, I have never had any hatred or resentment towards you, because as I said earlier, I have never met you here. But why would you, on the first day we met, immediately accuse me recklessly? Have you been working with Mrs. Maria all this time? Conspiring together to bring me down?"

At first glance, their faces looked shocked, not expecting to hear it from Lisa.

"Why did you want to cooperate with Mrs.. Maria? You know that slander is more cruel than murder. What was your reason for conspiring with her? Was it to secure your position in this company?"
