Chapter 132: The real owner

Lily Ambrose glared at Arianna. This time, she was the one smiling and wearing a broad grin. She’s going to use her undeniable evidence to nail Lily Ambrose for real.

Senator Adrian Delmark sighed, he hoped his daughter would be able to prove that she’s not a cheat. She can’t make him lose face before this crowd.

Jace Hudson kept his gaze on his girl. He would reward her handsomely if she was able to prove that she’s the real owner of the draft.

“I need a magnifying lens,” Arianna requested. She glanced towards the organisers and they exchanged glances.

They nodded and one of them went off to get one. The auditorium was as quiet as a graveyard. Everyone was waiting for what contestant number 10 needed a magnifying lens for.

When it was brought, Arianna made another request “I want two persons from among the judges to come forward” she requested.

Two of them willingly stepped out. Abby and Santiago were watching. This woman has the traits of Susan indeed. Susan used to be so smart and intelligent too. Today, when all of this is over, he will want to have a talk with her, Abby thought.

“Each of you should use the magnifying lens to check the tip of each of the designs. Whatever you see, write it on a piece of paper and hand it over to the organisers and then, I’ll proceed” Arianna instructed.

Everyone was waiting, watching where it’s all going to end. This seemed to be getting more interesting than they thought.

Each of the judges did and wrote whatever they saw in a piece of paper and gave it to the organiser. When they were done, Arianna continued.

“I do not confirm my designs and draft complete without writing my name and signing my signature faintly with a special faint pen at the base of the design.

I want the organisers at this time to open the paper and read and have it transmitted on the screen for everyone to see. If it has my name and signature, then it’s my work.

But if not, the work belongs to contestant number 7 and I should be punished for plagiarism” Arianna declared.

Lily Ambrose felt her body temperature rise. Beads of sweat rose on her temple and her dress suddenly became drenched. Her palm became sweaty and her bladder seemed to request for it to be emptied.

She swallowed hard and glanced at Arianna Jason with a killing intent. This woman is evil, she’s going to ruin her eventually.

Mr Ryan had told her to make a different design and not use the exact one he copied. But she knew there’s no way she could successfully make one that would look so amazing like the one Arianna had made.

She decided to submit it whole exactly the way Ryan had given her. Her boss praised her when he saw the design. He said he was impressed and never knew such a great designer was in Hilton City.

Now, the truth will be out and she will not only get blacklisted, her company will pay a huge sum as compensation and the Hudson’s holding will not let it go.

The organisers did and the camera focused on the writing of the two judges. What was written was Arianna Jason in italics with her signature.

As if that was not enough, the magnifying lens was used again to capture the name and signature on both designs.

It’s exactly like the other. No difference, a replica copy of the other and the original design draft cannot be differentiated from the duplicate.

There was a grave silence in the auditorium. Somer Tony went pale on his seat. He should have known, he should have recognised her as an evil pea.

Why was she fired from the Hudson’s holding if she was so adequate as an employee? She had brought them to a ruin. What on earth can he do now to salvage the situation?

A broad smile appeared on the face of Chase Hudson. He was excited. Finally, Hudson’s holding has won again and added more reputation to itself.

The most excited person present wasn’t Arianna but Senator Adrian Delmark. He is sure that no child of his would have a cunning, sly nature.

He is a proud father. The reputation of the Delmark’s family has just skyrocketed. He is glad. He glanced at his son and they both locked eyes.

“I told you dad, Arianna is a pure woman. She’s a Delmark dad, and we have a reputation for being honest. We got that trait from you, dad” Richard chimed.

Adrian Delmark simply tapped Richard’s arm and smiled. He couldn’t find the words to say to Richard’s words. His children have a good landmark to follow.

“Does anyone here doubt who is the rightful owner of the design and who is the plagiarist?” The chief organiser demanded, stepping out and holding Arianna’s hand up in victory.

Everyone started applauding loudly. The judges and all the VIPs stood up in acknowledgement before Arianna.

Lily Ambrose bowed her head in shame. Genesis was watching Livestream. She was happy, she was smiling broadly. She decides to come over to the venue of the contest, she needs to give Arianna a beautiful hug.

“Lily Ambrose, you will suffer the consequences of your actions. You will henceforth not be recognised as a designer and no one is going to hire you in Hilton City anymore.

Skyblue cooperation, it’s unfortunate that you have to fall so cheaply because of the discredit of your employee. But I’m afraid you will have to pay compensation to the Hudson’s holding on behalf of Miss Jason” The prime minister declared.

He had been silent from the beginning. He was watching to know where exactly everything was heading. But alas, the innocent was almost convicted wrongfully.

Everyone applauded and felt pleased with the incumbent prime minister’s statement. He is amazing to give such a final declaration.

“Does anyone here have anything else to say?” The organiser asked, looking over everyone present until a thick masculine voice echoed from behind.

“I do” it was Jace Hudson’s voice.
