A Ruling Passion – Chapter 1663

Before Mark even opened his mouth, Sylvain took the initiative to mention the case and said, “Mr. Tremont, I can swear that I wasn’t involved in Arianne’s designs being plagiarized. Although I did see her sketch, there were many areas in her sketch that I had helped to amend. Therefore, I may not be able to claim ownership for her designs, but I am able to claim at least 10% of it, so there is no reason for me to do such a heinous act. From the bottom of my heart, I would like to continue developing my career in Tremont Enterprise because there’s no better place to be working at other than Tremont Enterprise, so I would never do anything that would be detrimental to myself. Also, I’m not sure if Arianne has told you or not, but there is one other person who has actually seen her sketch other than me... That person has also seen her sketch right before my own eyes.”

Mark nodded his head. “I wasn't actually suspecting you in the first place. I merely wanted to understand more about the case. Did you really see... my aunt looking at Arianne’s designs with your own eyes?”

Sylvain firmly said, “That’s right, most of the surveillance cameras in our office can only store events that happened between the span of one week, so it’s definitely out of the question to use that to verify. However, I’m definitely sure that I haven’t misremembered. Your aunt was sitting in Arianne’s place as she chatted with me and picked up her designs to have a look. I didn’t think too much about whether she had any malicious intentions since she’s your aunt. However, not that something like this has happened, but I think... it’d be better to look into it rather than accusing Arianne. She isn’t that kind of person.”

A hint of confusion flashed through Mark’s eyes. “What if... I’ve misunderstood my aunt?”

Mark seemed to be asking Sylvain this question, yet also himself at the same time.
