”Plagiarism? You'd better show us your substantial evidence, or you won't be able to afford paying for it,” David warned.

He really hated the way Austin spoke. David knew Emily very well, and he would never believe that she was capable of plagiarism. She was an original artist, not a plagiarist.

”Mr. Xu, don't be so emotional. It's not really up to you to decide whether Emily has plagiarized or not. Of course, it's not up to me either. The evidence will reveal the truth,”

Austin replied as he smiled mysteriously and took out stacks of copies.

All were original design drafts, and even the details of some changes were shown on the copies.

At that moment, David was somewhat shocked, but he still did not believe that Emily would plagiarize.

”So what? My guess is that you might have forged our designs and then deliberately falsified these drafts. Then who could possibly prove your innocence? After all, it's not at all difficult to copy a design draft of Love and Dream,” David retorted heatedly.

With a slight smile on his face, Austin didn't reply to David. Instead, he turned to Jacob and asked, ”What do you think, Mr. Gu?”

Jacob looked at the copies in his hand for a long time and then said coldly, ”You expect me to pay you one billion just for these copies? Do you think I was born yesterday?”

After having spoken, Jacob threw the copies in his hand at Austin, and the papers scattered all over the floor.

Austin's facial expression suddenly changed in response to Jacob's attitude. ”What do you mean, Mr. Gu? Do you really want me to go all out and sue you for plagiarism? I suggest you think it over carefully. If the scandal of plagiarism is really exposed, it will ruin the reputations of both you and your wife. That would be much worse than just losing a billion. You're a successful businessman, so I think you can see which is the lesser of two evils, right?” Austin said to Jacob in a tone laced with meaning.

Jacob replied quite calmly, ”If everyone came to me with so-called original copies of my work from each season, and they each asked me to pay them one billion dollars for that 'proof, ' then do you think I would still have the means to maintain my business? If that were the case, I'm afraid that I would have had to put HT Group into bankruptcy long ago. Now, if you want to go to the court, I can oblige you in that way!”

After saying that, Jacob stood up from the sofa and threw Austin, who was still confused upon hearing Jacob's words, a disdainful look. ”If there is nothing else, we have to go now,” Jacob added, signaling that the meeting was over.
