Sinking Love into the Abyss Novel

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

As soon as the words fell, the three people present were all stunned.

It was my mother who reacted first, frustrated and angry. “What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Apologize immediately!”

I coldly looked at her, gradually calming down in my heart.

In a calm voice, I said, “If you still consider me your daughter, don’t interfere with this

matter.”

Anker was amused by my words and stared at me with his deep black eyes.

He opened his mouth, about to say something, but I turned and walked out of the door.

I was really tired.

After working all day, I was exhausted, and after going through this, even taking a breath made me tired.

My mother saw me leave and hurried to come out.

“Coral, what kind of attitude are you putting on? If it weren’t for your incompetence in keeping a man, I wouldn’t have had to lower my face to apologize,” she said..

I looked back at her, suppressing my anger. “Did I ask you to do those things? Your self–indulgent sacrifices mean nothing to me and even make me feel nauseous!” Other parents would protect their children, afraid of them being bullied.

She seemed to be afraid that no one would bully me.

Wasn’t she my biological mother?

My mother was speechless by my words. She wanted to say something but stopped. Finally, she angrily waved her hand and said, “Do you think I care about you? You deserve to be bullied, you ungrateful girl!”

After saying this, she left in anger.

Tears welled up in my eyes, and I looked up at the starry sky, pushing back the tears that were about to come out.

At that moment, I finally understood that I should think more about myself.

Be a bit selfish, and one wouldn’t be bullied by others.

From then on, I focused all my attention on my work.

Because the next drawing contest was about to start, employees who won would get the chance to study abroad.

Upon returning from the study abroad program, there was also a possibility of promotion.

Now that I had nothing to worry about, I wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.

However, when I confidently submitted my finished design draft, it was rejected within two seconds.

Feeling surprised, I went to the manager.

When the manager saw me, he glared at me coldly and said, “Copying someone else’s drawing draft and daring to ask why it was rejected?”

“What do you mean? This is my original work!”

Plagiarism is the most taboo in every industry, and being unfairly labeled with such a label shocked me beyond belief.

This sketch was one that I had been working on for a long time, so it was impossible for it to be similar to someone else’s.

“Nonsense! Laura has already submitted her design, and your sketch has a 90% similarity rate,” the manager said, looking at me with disdain. “As a young girl, your mind should be on the right path.

“You should have been fired, but I decided to keep you because of your previous performance. Don’t cause any more trouble.”

Hearing these words, I was furious.

This was my original work, how could I be accused of plagiarism?

I controlled my emotions and calmed down. “Since you say our designs are identical, can I see her sketch?”

The manager hesitated for a moment before finding her sketch.
