My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 456

Chapter 456 Zhenny narrowed her eyes.

She did not quite understand what Adina meant.

At that moment, Adina raised her voice and said, "Someone, please turn Mdm. Jones' proposal to page 16. I guess you haven't seen the formula on this page before, have you? And I suppose you're also very unfamiliar with the newly-built module on page 28, right? The design drawings on pages 34 and 35 also implement the new building module. These are fresh ideas." Everyone nodded.

The secretary behind Zhenny coldly said, "This is a brand-new build formula developed by our Technical Department under Mdm. Jones' leadership."

"Is that so?'

Adina chuckled, and her gaze was filled with mockery.

For some reason, Zhenny felt flustered as a result of Adina's gaze. "Ms. Daugherty, just spit it out. Don't try to put on a show here," she said in annoyance. "Six months ago, my mentor at Harfard was working on this subject, and he showed me his paper before it was published. It contained this formula along with the same building blocks." Adina smiled faintly. "My supervisor's paper was published in a very niche technical journal abroad, so I don't think many people in Cairnstan have seen it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The paper was published half a year ago, while Mdm. Jones started her proposal three months ago, but more than 80% of your formula modules overlap. Mdm. Jones, how do you explain this to us?"

Zhenny's complexion turned blue and pale. She gritted her teeth and said, "That's nonsense."

Right after she spoke, some people in the hall ran a search on their phones.

They connected to a foreign network, entered the formulae for the modules in her proposal, and immediately saw a paper that had been published overseas.

"Oh, my goodness! Ms. Daugherty is actually telling the truth!"

"The paper was published six months ago, and its contents are exactly the same as Mdm. Jones 'proposal!"

"What the f*ck? So, Mdm. Jones plagiarized someone else's work, but she framed Ms. Daugherty for plagiarizing hers?"

Everyone in the banquet hall gave Zhenny judgmental looks.

Zhenny had never been scrutinized by people in that way. She gritted her teeth and slowly suppressed her anger.

She took a deep breath. "This is Professor Phyllis' teaching paper in Harfard. I did use it as a reference, but it's not plagiarism. Before I used this paper as a reference, I bought the copyright from Professor Phyllis."

She found herself a perfect excuse, and the disapproving gazes in the banquet hall faded away.

Her eqression darkened as she said, "It was my fault for being abrupt today. I'll be the host and treat you to a meul as an apology next time, Ms. Daugherty. Let's go."

She turned around and walked out. The people whom she had brought followed suit.

As soon as Zhenny stepped out, she made a call. "Contact Professor Phyllis from Harfard University now Buy the copyright of the paper that he published six months ago. Get it no matter how much money it costs!"

Right after she hung up, she received a call. When she saw the incoming call remark, gloom filled her face

When she picked up the call, a furious growl came from the other end of the call. "Jones Corporation is on the news now. Look at the stupid thing you did!"

Zhenny breathed in. "I've been the CEO of Jones Corporation for twelve years, and I've never made a mistake. Can't I be given a chance after just one mistake?"
