Chapter 32 Audre Is Just a Plagiarist
1/6
“Oops, Audrey. Are you okay? I didn’t see you there. It wasn’t intentional.” The woman crossed her arms in front of her chest, sounding gleeful.
Audrey looked up and recognized the person in front of her- it was Rachel Leilani from the Second Group, one of the people she overheard gossiping earlier.
In Audrey’s memory, she had very little interaction with Rachel, let alone offend her.
But soon, Audrey understood where Rachel’s hatred came from.
Although the Second Group and the Third Group appeared harmonious, there was fierce competition between them behind the scenes.
The major project that Audrey had secured was originally assigned to the Second Group. However, because their design drafts were rejected again and again, Mr. Finley gave the project to the Third Group instead.
If the Third Group failed to close the deal, the Second Group would naturally be glad. However, the Second Group failed. But the Third Group succeeded

So, it was like a slap across the faces of the members of the Second Group. Rachel had an outspoken personality and already had resentment again. drey. Now, with this added insult, her dislike for Audrey naturally grew stronger.
However, blaming others for their own failure instead of admitting their own shortcomings was simply ridiculous.
Audrey didn’t want to waste time arguing with Rachel and was about to go pick up the scattered materials on the ground.
Rachel didn’t expect Audrey to ignore her completely. Frustrated, she blocked Audrey’s path. “What’s the matter? You don’t even bother talking to your colleagues, huh?”
“Move.” Audrey looked at her coldly.
“Fine.” Rachel took half a step back but suddenly exclaimed, “Oops! I’m sorry, Ms. Beaumont. My ankle seems to be hurting. I can’t move now. What should I do?”
They were in a narrow passage, just wide enough for two people to pass through.
Rachel had positioned herself right in the middle, preventing Audrey from going around her.
“So childish and stupid.”
Rachel’s smug smile froze for a moment as she immediately became furious. “What did you say?! Audrey, who gave you the right to speak about me like that? You really think I’m afraid of

“You are willing to be used by o.

foolish? Rachel, do you really think that blocking my way here will trap me and prevent me from leaving?” Audrey sneered at her and cast a cold glance at the members of the Second Group, who were secretly observing them nearby. She continued in a calm tone, “Rachel, your team’s failure is not because of me but because of your own arrogance. You design according to your own ideas without considering the opinions of the clients. Your current approach only makes your team look like a bunch of clowns!”
Rachel’s face turned pale. “You…”
Audrey glanced at her watch. There was less than half an hour left before the exhibition ended, and she had no interest in continuing the argument with Rachel.
“Rachel, let me say it one last time. Move.”
“I won’t move! If you have the guts, do something about it–ah!”
Before she could finish speaking, Audrey walked forward, forcefully pushing past Rachel and continuing on her way.
“Audrey!!”
Rachel shouted with anger, but Audrey paid no attention to her, stooping down to pick up the scattered materials one by one.
As she reached out to pick up the last sheet, a slender and soft
Chapter 32 Audrey Is Just a Plagiarist hand picked it up before her.
“The registration form for the A Competition?”

Ava’s voice came from above, and Audrey straightened up, seeing her holding the sheet of paper and turning to look at the man beside her meaningfully. “Theodore, this is the competition I mentioned to you a few days ago. It’s quite a coincidence that Ms. Beaumont also wants to participate.”
Audrey’s gaze dimmed.
She saw Ava’s name on the exhibitor list, but she didn’t know that Theodore would also be there.
Since that afternoon, they hadn’t been in contact with each other.
Theodore glanced at Audrey with a deep gaze but remained silent.
Ava turned around, seeming to have just realized, and explained sincerely, “Audrey, please don’t take it the wrong way. Theodore just happened to run into me.”
The location of the exhibition was not very remote, not in the city center, either. It would take nearly thirty minutes by car to reach the Ains Group from there. How could Theodore happen to be nearby and meet Ava, appearing before her together?
Audrey responded with a sarcastic question, “Is that so?” She

smiled with irony. “In that case, Ms. Rosewood and Mr. Ainsworth are really meant to be together. I wish you both eternal happiness.”
Theodore’s face darkened.

Ava didn’t expect Audrey’s reaction to be so calm. She glanced at Theodore’s expression and anxiously explained, “Audrey, please don’t misunderstand us…”
“Ava, you don’t have to explain so much to her!”
Ava lowered her eyes, feeling very aggrieved.
“Please give me back the registration form.” Audrey said stiffly.
Ava pursed her lips, handed her the registration form, and said sincerely, “Audrey, I am a judge for the domestic competition. If you need any help in the competition, I can…”
“No, thanks.”
Audrey grabbed the registration form and was about to leave, but Rachel’s sharp, sarcastic voice suddenly sounded from a distance, “Of course, she doesn’t need any help! Someone who only knows how to plagiarize other people’s design drafts is simply unworthy of participating in such a competition!”
Plagiarism…
Audrey’s body suddenly froze, her face turning pale.

Chapter 32 Audrey Is Just a Plagiarist “What? You didn’t expect me to know, did you? Audrey, I also participated in that competition!” Rachel walked up to her, her face full of smugness. Then sh nted at Audrey and shouted, “Everyone! Audrey is just a plagiarist! In college, not only did she copy her roommate’s design drafts, but she also drove her roommate to jump off the building to prove her innocence!”
Audrey looked at her, holding the registration form tightly in
her hand.
