Early the next morning, Serena arrived at the company on time, neatly bound the design draft she had stayed up late to finish, and handed it in
The office was filled with the hustle and bustle of work. She quietly returned to her seat and started working. But just as she sat down, a harsh voice came from behind het.
Stacey held a document in her hand and said scornfully, “Serena, are you sure this design draft is your own orginal work?
Serena slightly furrowed her brows and turned to look at her. “Is there a problem?”
“There are a whole lot of problems,” Stacey speed, then turned her phone screen toward their colleagues “Everyone, come look! The design submitted yesterday is exactly the same style as this designer online. This is clearly plagiarism.”
Serena stood up and looked at the phone screen. The design drawing was so familiar that she was stunned for a few seconds. Those were all her own drugs. She had posted them years ago using a domestic account under the online name Siren
Serena said, “Ms. Mosher, on what basis do you say my work is plagianized?”

Colleagues around immediately gathered some whispering some casting sunpicious glances
“Those works are too similar
i don’t think so. Serena’s designs always have their own style the shouldn’t be plagiarizing”
“How do you know her style isn’t coped? Look at the composition, color scheme, brushstrokes they’re almost identical to this designer’s work

Seeing Max come out, Stacey quickly walked up to him and handed over her phone. “Mar, look, Serena’s design draft is suspected of plagiam. Her work is almost identical to a designer named Siren online”
Serena quietly watched Stacey’s eager look and found her ridiculous. This frame–up was too clumsy. Stacey didn’t even notice the obvious connection between Siren and Serena.
She stared at Stacey coldly and said, “These designs are my works from years ago. Siren is my account.”
As soon as the words fell, the scene fell silent. After a moment, Stacey sneered, “Your works? Don’t be ridiculous.”
Serena didn’t want to waste more time. She walked to her computer, calmly entered the account and password, and opened Siren’s personal homepage. “Take a good look,” she said,
She turned the screen toward everyone. The account contained all of Serena’s previous design works. The evidence was conclusive.
The atmosphere froze for a few seconds. Stacey’s expression began to twist. She leaned closer to the screen, stared stiffly at it for a long time, then stammered, “This this can’t be
Serena gave her a cold glance, scrolled the account page to the earliest work date, and then said, “What else do you need me to prove? Siren is my personal account, all these design drafts are my original work.”
She continued, “There’s no way this is plagiarism. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. But please don’t slander me like this anymore.”
Her tone was neither light nor heavy, but it silenced all the surrounding whispers. Everyone stared at this scene in astonishment.
“So Sirenis actually Serena. I always thought Serena was just an ordinary designer”
“No wonder her style is so mature. She was already famous. Stacey must be embarrassed now.”
“Serena’s designs have always had their own style. Stacey really made a fool of herself this time.
“Who would have thought Serena was so low–key? She never mentioned Siren before”
