CHAPTER 109: CHAPTER 109: HER IDOL

The screen shows that the PPT document Yasmin Zane used for her report was created early this morning, entered via a mobile device.

The last edit time was just before she went up to explain it.

Besides, there’s another PPT document on her computer.

The creation time of that document is the day the supervisor announced the assessment content.

The last edit time was last night.

July Quinn clicked on the PPT document again.

Soon, the document Yasmin Zane previously made appeared before everyone.

Yasmin Zane’s face was frighteningly pale, and her legs wouldn’t stop trembling.

But no matter how they looked, July Quinn kindly explained for them.

"This is the PPT you made with your own hands. You saw my PPT while I went to the restroom, copied it, and conveniently deleted my version."

"You knew there was no surveillance in the conference room and figured I couldn’t do anything about it, so you used my PPT to provoke me."

"Unfortunately, you didn’t anticipate that I have some tricks up my sleeve and tracked down the time your document was created."

Supervisor Hughes noticed Yasmin Zane’s face was off and quickly asked, "Did you really plagiarize her?"

"No, I just felt that with her level of education she couldn’t write something like this, I..."

Yasmin Zane tried to argue.

But those words were tantamount to an indirect admission that she did use July Quinn’s PPT.

Supervisor Hughes immediately became furious, "Even if she can’t write something of this caliber, that’s none of your business. Why did you touch someone else’s work!"

"Uncle, I was just annoyed that Assistant Keaton always helps her. I feel it’s unfair, which is why I did it."

But as soon as Yasmin Zane spoke up, she was reprimanded by Supervisor Hughes.

"Don’t call me uncle; I don’t have a niece like you."

That’s right, Supervisor Hughes is Yasmin Zane’s senior supervisor and uncle.

He has always been helping Yasmin Zane from behind the scenes, confident that she could excel in this job because of her education.

But he never expected her to do something so disgraceful.

Besides Supervisor Hughes’ chastisement, others also started talking.

"So Yasmin Zane is the one who plagiarized."

"And holding dual master’s degrees? What a disgrace!"

Listening to others’ merciless mockery, Yasmin Zane felt extremely embarrassed.

And she blamed July Quinn for all of this, immediately targeting July Quinn.

"July Quinn, if it weren’t for Assistant Keaton helping you, could you write a PPT like this? Honestly, we’re both just mediocre."

Even if she couldn’t stay on the Caelan Sea project today, she was determined to drag July Quinn down with her.

"Actually, some parts of this PPT were used in a previous paper that was published in an academic journal. If you don’t believe me, you can look it up—the author’s name is Moon."

Upon hearing this, the others showed little change in expression.

But Yasmin Zane’s eyes widened considerably.

Because the paper by Moon, their professor often referred to it, never hesitating to express admiration for Moon.

Perhaps influenced by the professor, Yasmin Zane always regarded Moon as her idol, hoping to one day be as outstanding as him.

But what’s going on here?

How could July Quinn be Moon?

Wasn’t she supposed to be uneducated?

Before Yasmin Zane could sort out these thoughts, Kyle Keaton, who had remained silent all along, finally spoke up.

"Plagiarizing someone else’s work openly shows a lack of character. Such a person is not suitable to remain on the Caelan Sea project, so let’s terminate her."

Yasmin Zane worked hard to get into The Jacobs Group; she wasn’t willing to be kicked out so easily and immediately clashed with Kyle Keaton.

"You’re just an assistant; what gives you the right to say that!"

She didn’t expect, as soon as her words fell, Miles Jacobs would say, "Assistant Keaton’s opinion is also my opinion. Moreover, I believe that someone like you, who shows no remorse, will surely repeat such actions if entering the workplace again. While undermining internal cohesion is minor, ruining the societal ethos is major. Therefore, I will inform other companies to avoid hiring you..."
