Chapter 55 The World-Renowned Fashion Designer, Angel As soon as Olivia said that, a deep manâs voice sounded from the opposite side of the room. âDo you still need to find somebody to cross-check the designs? I have your plum blossom-themed design with me right now. Curtis, show it to the audience!â
Thus, Curtis responded and took Eugeneâs phone backstage.
When everybody looked over to see who it was, they were shocked to discover that it was Eugene Nolan.
Anna looked outraged. Who is that man? Why does he have a copy of the plum blossom-themed design? Isnât that Oliviaâs design? Or, is he just deliberately taking Oliviaâs side?
Olivia was slightly shocked too. Why does Eugene have a copy of my plum blossom-themed design?
While everybody was still swimming in the confusion, a drawing of a design appeared on the large screenâit was the exact same design of the plum blossom-themed dress the model was wearing, without any changes.
Anna was horrified, but she continued to argue, âWhat does that prove? My designs of the four gentlemen of the seasons have been posted on the official website of the competition for more than a month! Itâs possible that somebody stole it from me and placed it in their portfolio! How can you prove that this design was created before mine? Excuse me, mister, but please be a little more meticulous when you speak! Otherwise, Iâm going to sue you for slander!â
Eugene sneered, âSlander? Whether or not it is slander, you can see for yourself.â Then, he looked at Curtis. âCurtis, zoom it in.â
When the picture on the screen was enlarged, it clearly revealed that the date of delivery was 10 August 2019.
Sitting in the VIP seat, his aura flared around him as he looked at Anna and said, âDo you see it clearly now? You started designing this in September this year. But, I received this resume in August. Tell me; which one came first?â
Anna swayed slightly, screaming in her heart, How could somebody else have the exact same design as I did?
However, she put on a strong and calm appearance and furiously rebuked him, âWho are you? What relationship do you have with my sister? From how I see it, you are probably somebody my sister deliberately hired to confuse the audience, arenât you?
Who can prove whether this picture of yours is real or fake?â
âI can! I submitted that resume.â Olivia stood up and glared at Anna with a cool gaze. âIn the past, your designs might not have been the best, but at least they were your original designs. Now, not only did you plagiarize my work, but you also falsely accused me. This isnât just a matter of poor moral character anymore, itâs plain slander and false accusation. You wrote and acted out your own scripted play where Iâm a horrible sister that picks on you. Iâm sure it was all done to ensure that I donât have any evidence to prove that this design is mine. Thatâs why you were so confident! Well, itâs a pity for you because I do have evidence!â After saying that, she used the grand competitionâs special-use phone and dialed Kateâs number. âKate, do you still have the bamboo-themed evening dress I gave you as a gift during our graduation?â
She put the call on loudspeaker, and Kateâs voice was transmitted clearly to the audience. âOf course. I kept it since that was your gift to me!â
Thus, Olivia said, âSend me a group photo of the four of us wearing the outfits from the four gentlemen of the seasonsâ collection.
Also, take a photo of your bamboo-themed photo and send it to me too.â
Kate replied, âWhatâs wrong? Why do you need this?â
Olivia replied, âThereâs a participant here who not only plagiarized my work but also falsely accused me.â
Kateâs laughter rang out from the other side of the phone. âWhat? She canât have accused you, the world-renowned fashion designer, Angel, of plagiarizing her designs, right?â
Olivia looked at Anna and sneered, âShe wouldnât dare! But, she claims that I deliberately stopped her from joining the competition because I was afraid of having her as my competition! I donât want to be thrown under the bus for that, so hurry up and send me those pictures!â After she ended the call, she looked at Anna again and said, âRelax; Iâm going to convince you so thoroughly that you have no choice but to admit it!â
When those words sounded across the room, the entire venue fell silent. Anybody with an ear had heard it.
D-Did her friend just mention that s-she is Angel?!
