Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 59

Effie gave a faint, confident smile. “Alright, but you’d better be prepared.”

With that, she took out her phone and tapped on the post she’d published earlier.

Seeing it trending at number one, Effie paused for a second. She immediately thought of Lyman—he must have helped boost it. Otherwise, there was no way her post would rocket to the very top in a split second.

Her eyes flashed with amusement before she turned to address everyone. “Why don’t you all take a look at the top trending post right now? I think you’ll find your answer there.”

The reporters, seeing Effie’s utter composure, exchanged startled glances. If she were really guilty of plagiarism, she’d be terrified, desperate not to be exposed. But Effie faced them with poise and calm, showing no sign of fear.

Meanwhile, her post had already set the internet ablaze. Tens of thousands of comments were pouring in beneath it. But the journalists, focused entirely on Effie, hadn’t checked their phones yet—otherwise, that ridiculous question from earlier wouldn’t have been asked at all.

Now, prompted by Effie, everyone scrambled to pull out their phones, eager to see the video attached to her post.

The footage was clear: Suzan, sneaking into Effie’s office, using a USB drive to copy her design files. The video then showed Effie’s original design drafts, detailed records of her creative process, and a timeline that exposed the inconsistencies in Suzan’s forged sketches.

The evidence was undeniable. In an instant, public opinion flipped.

Shock and outrage filled the room—so it had been Suzan who plagiarized Effie’s work all along. The audacity was staggering.

Suzan, a newcomer to the design world with only a handful of works to her name, had resorted to such shameless tactics to get ahead. No one had expected a reversal this dramatic.

Reporters who’d been pressing their microphones forward, aggressive and unyielding moments before, now looked at one another in embarrassment and disbelief. No one could have predicted the truth would turn out like this.
