To promptly disgrace Lilah, Marlene had judiciously paid for journalists to wait, facilitating the swift dissemination of firsthand news.

The online community awaited developments with bated breath.

"The situation eludes my understanding."

"I believe Ewing is the true originator. Otherwise, how could he dare to pursue notarization? Changing the notarial results is an arduous task."

“Wasn't Ewing previously exposed for plagiarism?"

“I place my trust in the Dillon Group. They've already notarized it once. I doubt it can be claimed by someone else this time."

"ALL I know is the one who loses is in for a tough time."

On the Internet, the conversation buzzed with energy. Within the notary office, the duo engaged in a frenzied last-minute design.

The primary request of the notary office stipulated that Samira and Ewing must first draft plans, followed by an evaluation of the design concepts.

The notaries would then discern the original creator based on suitability.

Three distinguished notaries were present, each with their own expertise.

Soon, Samira and Ewing presented their design drawings and the notaries listened to their respective design concepts. Two of the notaries leaned toward Ewing.

"I believe the true creator is Ewing Happer."

“Absolutely, Ewing's design is nearly flawless, while Samira has made several errors."

The two notaries offered their remarks.

The deputy group leader concurred, stating, "I also believe it's Ewing's design."

However, their group leader, Vincent Myers, remained silent.

"Vincent?" The deputy group leader couldn't resist calling out to the group leader.

Vincent stroked his beard and remarked, "Really? Why don't you all take another look?"

Perplexed, the two notaries wondered if there was something they had overlooked.

Upon closer inspection, they couldn't identify any flaws and still believed Ewing was the creator of this design. "Vincent, do you have any insights?"

Vincent scoffed. "You've been entrenched here for so long that you seem to have forgotten the complexities beyond these walls. Ewing's presence at the notary office suggests extensive contemplation in private before replicating the same design draft. This design was conceived long ago. It's no simple feat for an ordinary person to replicate the exact original design. Moreover, Samira has had her design notarized. If she isn't the true creator, what kind of perception do you think the public will have of us?"

The trio exchanged disheartened glances.

However, the deputy group leader furrowed his brow and remarked, “Vincent, this doesn't sit well, does it? We shouldn't fabricate for the sake of our reputation. It will only breed further skepticism.”
