Chapter 55 The World-Renowned Fashion Designer, Angel
As soon as Olivia said that, a deep man’s voice sounded from the opposite side of the room. “Do 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!”
Thus, Curtis responded and took Eugene’s 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? Isn’t that Olivia’s design? Or, is he just deliberately taking Olivia’s 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 screen—it 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, “What 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! It’s 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, I’m going to sue you for slander!”
Eugene sneered, “Slander? Whether or not it is slander, you can see for yourself.” Then, he looked at Curtis. “Curtis, zoom it in.”
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, “Do 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?”
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, “Who 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, aren’t you? Who can prove whether this picture of yours is real or fake?”
“I can! I submitted that resume.” Olivia stood up and glared at Anna with a cool gaze. “In 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 isn’t just a matter of poor moral character anymore, it’s plain slander and false accusation. You wrote and acted out your own scripted play where I’m a horrible sister that picks on you. I’m sure it was all done to ensure that I don’t have any evidence to prove that this design is mine. That’s why you were so confident! Well, it’s a pity for you because I do have evidence!” After saying that, she used the grand competition’s special-use phone and dialed Kate’s number. “Kate, do you still have the bamboo-themed evening dress I gave you as a gift during our graduation?”
She put the call on loudspeaker, and Kate’s voice was transmitted clearly to the audience. “Of course. I kept it since that was your gift to me!”
Thus, Olivia said, “Send me a group photo of the four of us wearing the outfits from the four gentlemen of the seasons’ collection. Also, take a photo of your bamboo-themed photo and send it to me too.”
Kate replied, “What’s wrong? Why do you need this?”
Olivia replied, “There’s a participant here who not only plagiarized my work but also falsely accused me.”
Kate’s laughter rang out from the other side of the phone. “What? She can’t have accused you, the world-renowned fashion designer, Angel, of plagiarizing her designs, right?”
Olivia looked at Anna and sneered, “She wouldn’t dare! But, she claims that I deliberately stopped her from joining the competition because I was afraid of having her as my competition! I don’t want to be thrown under the bus for that, so hurry up and send me those pictures!” After she ended the call, she looked at Anna again and said, “Relax; I’m going to convince you so thoroughly that you have no choice but to admit it!”
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?!
