After saying that, he walked out.
Dylan was stunned, speechless.
He looked over at Simon, only to find Simon staring at him grimly.
After Xavier left, Simon finally spoke. “Mr. Beltran already saw Aveline’s concept drawing a few days ago.”
Hearing this, Dylan’s mind went blank.
Mr. Beltran had already seen Aveline’s concept drawing, then…
He quickly tried to defend himself, “Mr. Barron, I also finished my concept drawing a few days ago. I just wanted it to be better, so I refined some details and only turned it in today.”
Simon said coldly, “Is that so?
But Aveline has been discussing her design ideas with me since the day of the site analysis. We’ve talked about it every day. I basically watched her draw it, stroke by stroke.”
“Do you think it’s possible Aveline stole your idea?”
Dylan cried out, “Well, I didn’t steal Aveline’s idea either.
Mr. Barron, you can’t be biased against me.”
Simon sighed heavily. “Dylan, you don’t want us to launch an investigation, do you?”
“If you just tell me honestly what happened, I can talk to Mr. Beltran for you. You’ll only have to leave the project team, and we won’t make this public.”
“I can even try to persuade Mr. Beltran not to let Aveline know.”
Dylan frowned, thinking this was indeed a good way out. It was obvious Xavier and Simon were inclined to believe he had plagiarized Aveline’s idea.
But he remembered Josephine saying there was no proof. If he stuck to his story that he didn’t steal the idea, Xavier and Simon couldn’t prove him guilty.

He couldn’t take Simon’s suggestion. Otherwise, people in the industry would think he’d made a mistake or wasn’t competent enough, getting kicked off the project team by the. How could he continue in this field after that?
So Dylan shook his head. “Mr. Barron, I did not steal Aveline’s idea.”
Simon’s expression darkened. “Then we have no choice but to form a team and launch an investigation.”
Dylan replied, “I’m innocent. If I quit the project team, my reputation in the industry will be ruined.”
Simon shook his head. “Dylan, you could have just chosen to leave the project team, and that would have been the end of it.”
“Mr. Beltran isn’t an expert in this field, but I am. I can tell just by looking that this isn’t a coincidence. You definitely saw Aveline’s concept drawing.”
“I don’t know how you did it, but once we launch an investigation, we’ll find out the truth.”
After saying that, Simon stood up and walked out of the conference room with a stern face to find
Xavier.
Xavier was in the small conference room next door, sitting not far from Aveline, sipping his tea and glancing at her occasionally.
Aveline, Jasmine, and Rebecca didn’t know what was happening and were focused on their work.
Simon came in, walked up to Xavier, and said in a low voice, “Mr. Beltran, Dylan won’t admit to it. What do you think we should do?”
Xavier’s face grew cold, and he replied in a chilly tone, “Are you asking me to give this a proper investigation?”
Simon sighed, “It seems that’s the only way.”
“To be honest, even if Dylan really did it, he wouldn’t admit it. Because if he confessed, or just quit the project team like this, people in the industry would get suspicious.”
After all, leaving such a good project so abruptly would definitely seem strange to the industry, and they’d look into what happened.
“Mr. Beltran, maybe you should talk to Aveline, see if she might have accidentally leaked the concept art.”
