Chapter 369

Chapter 369She had no sympathy for Jasmine at all.
All the designs were the result of painstaking efforts by their original designers. Jasmine had misused
them for her own selfish gains and deserved to be punished accordingly.
“The reason I'm telling you this is that I hope you will be a witness in court, given that you have
provided all the evidence against her,” Mr. Horner explained with a smile.
Natalie nodded. “Don't worry, I will.”
“That's good. Furthermore, the international competition will begin in two months' time. Hence, you will
need to prepare yourself to make both our country and J City proud.”
“I will.” Natalie nodded. Suddenly, something occurred to her that caused her to ask, “By the way Mr.
Horner, you mentioned that you had something to give me. What is it?”
“Oh, I almost forgot.” Mr. Horner tapped on his forehead. “Age is catching up with me. My memory isn't
what it used to be.”
While he was speaking, he opened his drawer. From it, he took out a box along with a certificate and
handed them to her.
Natalie received them curiously.
When she opened the box, she saw a medal inside, causing her curiosity to intensify.
After that, her eyes widened when she looked through the contents of the certificate. “The winner of the
Golden Feather Awards, Mina? Mr. Horner, you...”
“You must be surprised at how I know you're Mina, right?” Mr. Horner chuckled as he looked at her.Natalie nodded.
Mr. Horner adjusted his reading glasses. “It was Mercede who called me the day before to inform me of
it. After that, Mr. Moore told me about Jasmine's plagiarism case yesterday afternoon. He said that she
won the Golden Feather Awards by copying Mina's design. Now that I know you're Mina, I...”
“That's why you told the organizers of the Golden Feather Awards about it?” Natalie raised her
eyebrows.
Mr. Horner replied with a smile. “That's right. They decided on the spot to urgently produce a medal
and certificate for you. Since Jasmine's design actually belongs to you, they must have already
updated the Golden Feather Awards official website with your name as the winner.”
Feeling emotional, Natalie hugged the medal and certificate tightly. “Thank you, Mr. Horner.”
“Don't thank me. They belong to you from the very beginning. Just do your best for the upcoming
international competition.” Mr. Horner patted her on the shoulder.
Natalie naturally agreed.
After that, she took her leave from Mr. Horner and prepared to pick up her kids from the hospital.
However, the moment she left the Design Association's building, she stopped in her tracks when she
saw a group of people not far from her.
Right before her eyes, Jasmine and Susan were surrounded.
Within that group were a few reporters with cameras and two police officers in uniform.
The police officers, of which one was male while the other female, were staring at them with
exasperated expressions.“Ms. Sullivan, please step aside!”
“No, I won't!” Susan was just like a protective mother hen, spreading her arms in front of Jasmine. She
screamed at the police officers angrily, “I won't allow you to take my daughter away!”
“Ms. Sullivan, we are just carrying out our duty. I strongly advise you to step aside,” the male officer
warned her with a solemn expression.
Susan shook her head vehemently. “No, I won't stand for it. How can I allow you to arrest my daughter!”
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebook“If you don't move aside, we can arrest you for obstruction of justice, do you know that?” the female
officer threatened angrily.
Paying no heed to them, Susan hugged Jasmine whose head was lowered while sitting in her
wheelchair.
Despite the heartbreaking mother-daughter scene in front of her, Natalie walked toward them with a
smirk. Putting her flowers and bag aside, she remarked, “Officers, you don't have to be patient with
those that obstruct you from carrying out your duty. Just go ahead and arrest both of them.”
When she heard Natalie's voice, Jasmine looked up with her eyes filled with animosity.
Susan reacted the same way. Releasing Jasmine, she waved her hands angrily as she tried to grab
Natalie. “Natalie, you wench! I'm not going to let you off for harming my daughter!”
