“As a contestant, Qiao Jierou plagiarized and misled us to target another contestant. I don’t think such a contestant is qualified to participate in the

International Fashion Design Competition!”

The person who spoke knew some English and immediately said loudly.

Qiao Jierou didn’t understand this English and asked Lin Hene, “Brother Hene, what did he say? Why did I hear them mention my sister’s name and my name just now? What’s going on?”

Roman said, “Oh, could it be that he’s talking about Qiao Weiyang plagiarizing? Frank asked me about it before, but I didn’t say anything. He might’ve started speculating.”

Before Lin Heng could say anything, Qiao Jierou and Roman spoke in harmony. When Lin Heng looked at them, there was a trace of suspicion in his eyes.

However, he was unwilling to doubt Qiao Jierou’s thoughts. Instead, he replied to the person on the other end in English.

Frank couldn’t be bothered and said in S Country’s language, “Roman, I treated you kindly because you’re a friend of a designer I know. Why did you lie to me?” Roman looked at him in surprise. “Why did you suddenly say such a thing?”

Could it be that Qiao Weiyang had explained it to him? Oh no, she had been so focused on communicating with someone who could speak S Country’s language that she had forgotten that since he could speak S Country’s language to her, he could also communicate with Qiao Weiyang.

Qiao Weiyang did have a chance to clarify these things.

Roman was very surprised and regretful. However, she did not know that Qiao Weiyang’s German was very strong. Even if Frank did not speak S Country’s language, it would not affect him at all!

Qiao Jierou had just thought of this, and her expression changed drastically.

Frank questioned, “Roman, you said that Qiao Weiyang plagiarized Qiao Jierou’s design and even showed me the evidence. Is this the Qiao Jierou that Qiao Weiyang plagiarized?”

He took out the photos and videos from earlier and questioned directly.

He didn’t want his peers in China to think that he had hurt Qiao Weiyang because of something between him and Roman. Now, Frank’s attitude was very firm, and he vowed to make the problem clear.

Amidst his questioning, Roman was a little afraid, but she still said stubbornly, “I don’t know about these things. I also heard about Qiao Weiyang’s plagiarism case before, so I told you about it. I was afraid that she would target you, so I kindly reminded you.”

Her words put all the blame on her cluelessness, as if Frank had misinterpreted her meaning.

Frank was no longer going to believe her. She said she didn’t know?

However, Frank had clearly gone to search for all kinds of posts about Sheng Lan wearing that evening gown. The comments below were all praises. It was difficult to believe that a designer from S Country knew one half of the story but not the other.

Frank realized that Roman was deliberately misleading him and using him to attack Qiao Weiyang. He immediately understood that if he argued with her over something like this where no evidence could be produced, Roman would just quibble her way out of it. He would also be infamous for bullying women.

There was no point in arguing with her now. It would only upset him.

It was also because of this that he instantly understood how Qiao Weiyang felt when she was slandered and brainwashed.

Frank immediately stopped talking to Roman and turned to communicate with his peers.

Roman couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief when she saw that she had survived the bullet. However, she didn’t know what Frank was talking about with others. She was a little alarmed.

Qiao Jierou also detected the disadvantageous factor in Frank’s words just now. She quickly pulled Lin Heng’s sleeve. “Brother Heng, are they talking about

“We can only ask first,” Lin Heng said and walked toward Frank.

“Mr. Frank, can we talk?” Lin Heng said politely. “About what you just said about Qiao Jierou and Qiao Weiyang…”

When the surrounding people saw Lin Heng, Qiao Jierou, and Roman together, they couldn’t help but criticize, “Previously, you slandered Qiao Weiyang for plagiarism, but the truth isn’t like that at all. Now, you still have the cheek to ask?”

“Mr. Lin, can you explain to us why Qiao Weiyang’s ‘plagiarized’ work is so much more beautiful than Qiao Jierou’s ‘original’ work? Can you explain why you misled us to target Qiao Weiyang?”

Everyone was talking in German, so Lin Heng and Qiao Jierou did not understand at all.

However, even though they did not understand what the people around them were saying, they could clearly see that their expressions were filled with accusation, anger, disdain, and various other derogatory emotions.

Europeans and Americans were relatively straightforward. They were very clear about right and wrong. Facing Qiao Jierou and Roman’s actions, who wouldn’t be angry?

Qiao Jierou was extremely flustered. She didn’t know what Qiao Weiyang had said to them.

“Mr. Frank, I know you can understand S Country’s language. Please listen to my explanation. I can slowly explain to you about what Roman said just now. Mr. Frank…” Qiao Jierou said anxiously to Frank.

However, Frank didn’t want to listen to anything she said anymore. Qiao Jierou had no choice but to continue, “Mr. Frank, we had a misunderstanding just now. We can explain all of this.”

Frank still didn’t respond.

He had originally entertained Roman with good intentions, but he had been fooled. Would he be fooled again? No way!

Qiao Jierou could only keep looking in the direction of the door, hoping that the interpreter would arrive soon.

She had deliberately asked the interpreter to stall for time just now, but at this moment, she wished she could turn back time to just now and get the interpreter to come early in the morning to nip the matter in the bud.

When Tao Huan saw how flustered they were, she couldn’t help but feel happy.

“Sister Weiyang, this is called digging your own grave, right?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Something like that,” Qiao Weiyang said calmly. “I heard that the champagne at the banquet is good. I’ll take you to try it.’

She brought Tao Huan along and elegantly picked up two glasses of champagne from the waiter’s hand. She handed one to Tao Huan.

Qiao Jierou finally called her interpreter over.

She quickly whispered a few words to the interpreter, and the interpreter quickly said in front of Frank and the others, “Everyone, listen to me. The matter between Qiao Jierou and Qiao Weiyang is just a misunderstanding. Actually, Qiao Jierou and Qiao Weiyang are sisters. Many of their previous designs were discussed with each other prior, and they drew inspiration from each other. There’s no such plagiarism case at all..”
