‘???’
After hearing what the judges had to say, Yvonne’s expression slowly changed to become much more awful.
She stared at the design that was displayed on the screen, finding it hard to believe. She was absent-minded for a few seconds.
‘This… This is the work of a famous jewelry designer?
‘How did it come down to this?
‘Damn it!
‘It must be Madeline who copied that designer’s work, planning to use it for the contest!
‘Then doesn’t that mean I’ve become the scapegoat for Madeline?!’
That was what was coursing through Yvonne’s mind. Exasperated, virtual-novel.net glared at Madeline.
Madeline sat under the lights quietly and elegantly. Her stunning face remained composed.
Madeline could not help but curl virtual-novel.net red, sexy lips into a smile when virtual-novel.net saw Yvonne glaring at virtual-novel.net while clenching virtual-novel.net teeth.
“Yvonne, how dare you say that this is the product of your hard work when all you did was copy a great designer’s work and submit it for the contest? You’re indeed hilarious and foolish. Designing a piece of jewelry is a form of art. We can’t tolerate the likes of you tainting it. You’re disqualified from this contest. In the future, you’ll be banned from joining any jewelry-related contest!”
…
‘What?!’
Yvonne could not tolerate such an ending.
She desired to witness Madeline falling from grace. However, not only did virtual-novel.net fail to do so, but virtual-novel.net even got herself into trouble as well.
The crowd down the stage viewed virtual-novel.net with scornful looks, making Yvonne anxious.
Even if it was the end for Yvonne, virtual-novel.net still wished to drag Madeline along.
“You guys have all misunderstood!” She suddenly roared.
“Indeed, this is not my work, but I didn’t copy other people’s work! What you guys are looking at right now is actually the work of the 12th contestant, Eveline Montgomery!”
She tried all means to argue. “Because… Because I’m somehow related to Eveline. Earlier, we used to stay together, so my work and hers got mixed up! I didn’t look at it properly earlier but now that I’ve looked at it closely, I realize this isn’t my work. It’s Eveline’s!
“If it involves any copying, then it’s Eveline who has copied other people’s work! If you guys don’t believe it, you can look at the work that virtual-novel.net has submitted for this contest. You’ll all believe that I’m stating the truth then!”
Madeline got up, virtual-novel.net crystal clear voice that was like a soothing wind traveling into the ears of everyone present. “Then please display my work in advance to address the lies being spouted by this cunning lady who’s trying all means to defend herself.”
Yvonne’s eyes got wider as virtual-novel.net stared at Madeline who was sauntering before her.
Under the lights above the stage, Madeline’s elegant presence and virtual-novel.net gorgeous looks made everyone held on to their breaths.
Yvonne took in a deep, cold breath. She was speechless when faced with the pressure given out by Madeline.
The technicians behind the scenes quickly displayed Madeline’s work, and it was a fine piece of work that no one had ever seen before.
The sight of the picture made Yvonne and Karen dumbfounded.
“How… How is this possible?” Yvonne’s eyes were gigantic when virtual-novel.net stared at the design, unable to accept what virtual-novel.net was seeing.
It turned out that it was a completely different design from Yvonne’s.
Madeline put on a smirk as if virtual-novel.net had seen through all the schemes plotted. “Why is it not possible? Do you think I’m as stupid as your aunty?”
