Chapter: 350

A few minutes later, Kaitlin shut down her computer, grabbed her purse, and prepared to leave with him.

Nora knocked on the office door while holding the drafts in her hand.

"Kaitlin, are you heading out?"

Kaitlin nodded. Noticing her distress, she asked curiously, "What is it? Just tell me."

Nora exhaled, having hesitated before. Encouraged by Kaitlin's prompt, she stepped forward and presented the design drafts to Kaitlin.

“Please examine these closely. They aren't the originals we submitted; these are Al-generated copies."

Kaitlin's expression turned serious. She took the drafts and inspected them.

She hadn't had the chance to review Nora's drafts earlier, but now she scrutinized them and spotted the issue.

"How did this happen?" she asked.

"Phoebe is tied up in a meeting, so I came to you. I've compared these to the designs from other designers; theirs have been revised too, though it's not obvious at first glance."

Nora continued, “We have originals for all the drafts we sent. If Gilbert Jewelry didn't make things difficult for us intentionally, then someone else must have swapped them secretly."

Kaitlin's expression grew stern.

This indicated that there must be a traitor within either Oasis Studio or Gilbert Jewelry.

“Who sent these designs?" Kaitlin asked.

After a moment of thought, Nora answered, "Phoebe's assistant."

“Where is she now? I need to speak with her."

“Understood.”

Nora turned and exited the office. Alan looked at Kaitlin, realizing their dinner plans might need to be delayed.

"Hold on for a bit. I need to address this issue first," Kaitlin said.

"Okay."

They returned to the sofa. Soon after, Phoebe's assistant knocked at the door.

"Kaitlin, how may I assist you?"

Kaitlin placed the drafts on the table and asked in a cool tone, “Judy, did you send these designs to Gilbert Jewelry?”

Judy nodded, sensing the tension but choosing to be honest. "Yes, I did. Phoebe was unavailable at the time. Is there a problem?"
