Chapter 645

Chapter 645:
Jimenez’s signature was crystal clear. Nina bit down hard on her lip. She’d completely forgotten about Jimenez.
“And one more thing,” Stella added. “The agency that forged those documents? Turns out the founder’s an old friend of Nina’s.”
Stella’s words sent the crowd into a frenzy.
“So Nina framed Sylvia?”
“She’s got all this proof… but how do we know it’s not fake too?”
“At least Nina’s papers had an official seal and looked legit.”
Nina froze, stunned by what she saw. Her expression twisted with disbelief as she snapped at Stella, “Sylvia, this so-called evidence? Anyone around you could’ve put that together! You’ll go to any lengths to cover up your plagiarism, won’t you?”
Before Stella could respond, Sandra, who had been standing nearby, immediately spoke up in her defense. “Nina, stop pretending everything’s fake. The truth is staring us in the face. Your friend’s the head of the institution, and it’s not far-fetched to think you could’ve tampered with the records yourself!”
Nina let out a scornful laugh. “Sylvia, if this is all real, then show me something stamped with an official seal. If you truly have proof that points to me, I’ll own up to it.”
Her stubborn refusal to admit fault, even now, made Stella feel a bit ridiculous. But in reality, aside from the letter Jimenez had written for her and the email confirmation from the institution, Stella didn’t have any clear, undeniable proof.
Just as she was racking her brain for a way to completely corner Nina, a deep, familiar voice cut through the tension like a blade. “Looking for real evidence?” William said calmly. “I’ve got it.”
Stella turned in shock as he stepped forward, holding a thick stack of documents. Her expression gradually shifted to one of disbelief.
She hadn’t expected the evidence to come from the very institution where Jimenez had filed the complaint.
William knew that normally, processing such a complaint would take at least a week. But there was no time to wait, so he had quietly asked Steven to pull a few strings and get the matter expedited, and thankfully, they had made it just in time.
The documents bore the institution’s official seal, and with William personally delivering them, no one could doubt their authenticity.

As he displayed them on the big screen, everyone read in stunned silence. The institution had ruled against Nina’s agency. They would be stripped of their equipment and privileges for altering someone else’s project files without authorization. Legal consequences, including possible imprisonment, were also outlined.
The verdict looked anything but fake.
William faced the room, his voice steady. “This decision will be publicly released soon. But if any of you still have doubts…” He paused, then turned slightly. “I also brought a witness.”
As he stepped aside, Stella’s breath caught in her throat. Jimenez had just entered through the institute’s front door.
She stood before everyone and calmly explained how she had written the project, even admitting that she had used her husband’s photo and credentials out of fear that her own would attract unwanted attention.
She then presented her original manuscript and the creation timestamp from her laptop.
