Chapter 491



Tilda didn’t just uncover this; she also gathered substantial evidence of abuse occurring in the nursing home. Tilda and Ruth cared deeply for Kallie, and their concern brought a flicker of warmth to her otherwise heavy heart.

Soon, the competition commenced. Despite being occupied with caring for Sophie in the hospital, Kallie remained keenly attentive to the unfolding competition. Fortunately, the competition was broadcast live, allowing Kallie to follow the action closely.

As expected, Ruth clinched first place in the opening round. Jenny, of course, was not pleased with the result. However, when Ruth mentioned she was Hayden’s student, Jenny was left speechless, unable to argue further.

Ruth continued her winning streak, quickly pulling ahead of Jenny in points. Kallie sensed Jenny wouldn’t sit idle for long. Sure enough, the night Ruth secured another victory, Jenny posted a photo on social media.

The photo had been taken from a sneaky angle and showed Ruth without her usual makeup. Ruth’s appearance had been heavily masked by makeup before, and her style had changed so much that Jenny hadn’t even recognized her at first.

Jenny snapped a photo, posted it online, and immediately started playing the victim. “Years ago, this person stole my work for commercial gain, turning my hard-earned efforts to dust. Back then, the Turner Group punished her but also shielded her from facing jail time. Now, this plagiarist has resurfaced through this competition, and no one seems to care about the injustice I suffered. Why is that?”

Ruth’s plagiarism incident had indeed caused quite a stir back then. Before long, the news gained traction; someone quickly uncovered that Ruth wasn’t just any contestant—she was both Hayden’s student and a designer at the Turner Group.

As the details came to light, the backlash grew, with people pointing fingers at Ruth and the Turner Group. Most of the criticism was aimed squarely at Kallie.

“Remember, Ruth didn’t have it easy in recent years. How did she manage to change her identity and stage a comeback?”

“Don’t you know who the president of the Turner Group is now? She hails from the Nixon family. With her connections, it’s a walk in the park to help someone like Ruth make a turnaround.”

“A plagiarist should never be forgiven. Why is she getting a chance to make a comeback? Let’s boycott Kallie and the Turner Group!”

“Agreed!”

“We need to stand up for the creators!”

Despite the online barrage of curses, Kallie remained unruffled. After the incident had been debated passionately for an hour, Kallie finally revealed all the evidence she had meticulously gathered over the past few days.

Her release included the revelation that Ruth and Jenny were half-sisters. By laying out their respective works, it was easy to tell who had stolen whose manuscripts.

But there was more: Kallie had uncovered damning evidence that Jenny’s affiliations with various welfare and nursing homes were dubious at best and that Jenny had reaped enormous profits from these questionable partnerships.

Once Kallie had posted the incriminating evidence, she let out a sigh of relief. Still, a gnawing worry lingered in her mind. She was anxious that Jenny might not make a scene. Kallie had analyzed the situation.

If Ruth stepped up to clear the air, some people might start questioning why she had stayed silent for so many years.
