It seemed like this was a genuine possibility. Furthermore, her design was made with the same style as Alice's previous work.
"I admit my defeat if Alice's work suppresses me with everyone's votes." Somi spoke indignantly. "But if Jennie has borrowed Alice's work to obtain victory, that's too..."
"Enough!" Lisa raised his voice. "Jennie isn't someone who would use other people's work."
Somi attempted to reason with him. "I understand that CEO Manoban is protecting his fiancée. However, protecting her unconditionally is unprofessional and will only make it harder for the public to accept this!"
Jennie directly admitted it. "I admit, this design indeed belongs to Alice."
Immediately, all the members of the upper management were shocked.
Somi's brows lifted in joy. The Sheng Shi Group would never hire a designer that took someone else's work as her own. Since Jennie openly admitted to it, once the matter was released, she would not only struggle to enter the Sheng Shi Group but would never be able to find space for herself in this industry. "You admitted to it yourself. Look, CEO Manoban, even Jennie has confessed to it."
Lisa also did not expect Jennie to be foolish enough to tell everyone this. His expression was dark. "Jennie, you..."
He thought about it and decided it was not important. Even if she ended up unemployed in the future, he would raise her for the rest of his life.
Thus, he did not say anything to reprimand her.
Jennie took in everyone's strange gaze and said unhappily, "Don't look at me as though I'm a monster."
"Miss Kim, you are the future Madam Manoban. I truly did not expect your character to be this despicable." Somi finally had a good reason to crush her beneath her feet. "You cannot take advantage of CEO Manoban's favour to do as you please. Taking someone's work for your own will not only throw your face away. You are also throwing CEO Manoban's face away..."
Each member of the management appeared to agree with her words. The disdain was clearly displayed on their expressions.
"Enough!" Jennie cut her off. "Miss Manoban, I understand that you are in a rush to declare victory over me. But you should let me finish my words!"
"Go ahead." Somi refused to believe she could argue her way out of this. If she still dared to declare that this wasn't Alice's work, she would only draw more unhappiness against her. By then, the saliva from the critics would drown her alive.
"I am Alice," Jennie's clear, graceful voice could be heard from every corner of the conference room.
"What!" A commotion took over the conference room. Everyone's gaze was filled with astonishment.
A hint of surprise also flashed past Lisa's cold gaze. His Jennie truly took him by surprise all the time.
Somi raised her voice in disbelief. "How could you be Alice!"
"Why not?" Jennie brought a stack of name cards out from her pocket and handed one over to her. "Here, this is my name card."
A member of the upper management spoke up with some embarrassment. "Alice, may I have one too? I am Li Haiping, the business department's manager. I am also your fan. Hehe, I'm a slightly older fan of yours."
"Of course." Jennie immediately handed a name card to her.
Somi harrumphed coldly. She spoke in disdain. "It's just a name card. I could print one myself. Are we really going to believe her just because of a name card..."
"Go ahead and give Alice's studio a call. Ask the secretary working there if I, Jennie, am actually Alice," Jennie suggested.
"I would do it even if you didn't mention this." Somi directly dialled the official contact number for Alice's studio which was available through her studio's website.
In order to humiliate Jennie publicly, she tapped on the speaker mode. "Hello, may I know if this is Alice's secretary, Miss Qin Qing?"
