Chapter 399 Tree Monster
Zoe roared, “Olivia! Not only did you steal my idea and wear the same dress as mine, but you even scolded me for it. Who’s the shameless one here?”
Her high-pitched voice had shocked almost half of the people present at the venue while many reporters quickly came over. There isn’t much to report about the opening ceremony, but isn’t this something worth reporting? Looks like the little star is already rattled before shooting can even begin!
At that moment, Marcus also heard the commotion and came over. “What’s the problem?”
Under the spotlight of the cameras, Zoe tidied her appearance and suppressed her temper. “President Cohen, this was what happened…” She then shared with him the same story that she told everyone else.
After listening to her, he was startled as he gazed at Olivia, but upon seeing her calm demeanor, he asked, “How is this possible? How could Olivia use your idea to design her outfit? She didn’t even know that you would be here, so why would she purposely embarrass you?”
Zoe whined, “How could she not know? I told her that I’m playing a part in this mythology drama!”
“I don’t think so.” Marcus was confused. “She has a huge studio, so why would she need to steal other people’s ideas?”
She asked, “President Cohen, are you saying that I’m intentionally lying?”
He hesitated for a while. “Maybe there is a misunderstanding.”
However, Zoe pretended to be forgiving as she said, “Fine, I’ll stop looking into it. I don’t want to argue with her little studio. I lost my temper for a moment earlier, but there are a couple of words that I still want to say to Miss Maxwell…” With that, she turned toward Olivia. “From now on, people stop using other people’s ideas if you refuse to create their outfits. If I’m kind, I’ll merely say that you are a bad person, but if I want to make a big deal out of it, I can easily accuse you of plagiarism. Even though you may be a professional fashion designer, you seriously need to work on your character!”
After that, she turned and left.
However, after she took her steps, someone had suddenly grabbed her waist.
She turned and immediately saw Olivia’s faint smile.
Zoe struggled with all her might. “Let me go!”
Yet, Olivia refused to let go and instead glared with saucer eyes before walking to her front. “How dare you try to leave after saying what you have said! Do I look like someone whom you can easily mess with?”
Zoe tried to escape again. “Let me go!”
“Are you saying that I stole your idea to design this dress of mine?” Olivia chuckled. “Even if I don’t use my profession and compare both of our gowns, I believe that a reasonable person would be able to identify the better-looking dress out of us both. How did you find the courage to say such things while wearing a dress that makes you look like a tree monster?”
The moment her words came out, everyone burst into laughter.
“Did she call Zoe a tree monster?”
“But then, that shade of green on her is atrocious.”
“The texture and shape of her dress is no match against Olivia’s. Not to mention, Olivia has a perfect waist and body shape. She still looks oddly sexy even though her body is only slightly revealing. As for Zoe… Forget about it; I reserve my comment!”
“You’re right. Both dresses look the same, but why is there such a huge difference? I don’t think the green dress is seductive at all and I even have the urge to rush over to cover the bare parts of her dress.”
While listening to the crowd’s criticisms and looking at their expressions, Zoe felt that she was being tortured, so she instinctively tried to escape.
However, as expected, Olivia, who stood beside her, would never let her escape.
She glared at Zoe as her eyes were filled with coldness. “If you apologize and tell the truth to everyone, I will not hold it against you! Otherwise, the consequence will be worse than this!”
For a moment, Zoe panicked, but how could she possibly apologize to her by that point?
