“Here are the facts that | was able to replace 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 herdesigns 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 moreproof 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 otherrelevant 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 datingback 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 supportsmy claim as the true creator. | take pride in my work, and | won’t let false accusations tarnish my reputation. Feel free to gothrough the folders, and you'll see the truth for yourselves. I’m just here to set the record straight and continue my passion fordesigning bags.

es.” Sofia smiled. “All of my bags have a small intricate design and details that only the one who originally designed

uld know. We have already consulted an expert who could identify strokes that were used in sketching the design re prepared tohave that expert testify. Over the years, my style has changed, but the expert was able to confirm that used in this sketch stillhad similarities to my current ones. If Miss Davis would show herself to the court, then | can eryone what | have.

in also do a comparison of our current output. It would be better to show everyone our individual growth,” Sotu dSofia took a moment as everyone absorbed her words. She kept it simple and direct

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

Everyone turned their focus back to Sofia as she continued. They just accused the heir of LH Group of being a plagi and a bully. |believe whoever was responsible wanted the world to think that the Lockharts have been raised like ili

Asomber atmosphere settled in the room. Sofia’s straightforward explanation made the stakes clear, and the shareholdersexpressions shifted to seriousness. The accusation wasn’t just about Sofia: it had broader implications for the reputation of LHGroup and the Lockhart family.

She continued. “We've built 1.H Group on principles of integrity hard work, and creativity. Accusations like these not only hurt mypersonal reputation but tarnished the image of our entire company. I’ve dedicated myself to upholding the values that LH Groupstands 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 wasaccused of something this serious,” Sofia said, looking at the older people inside the room.

Miss Lockhart has a point. Accusations like these can’t be taken lightly, especially when they involve the future leader of LHGroup. We need some clarity on how this is being handled,” Mr. Joe Anderson was the first one who broke the currentatmosphere.
