Chapter 963 -963: Elijah Flackās Doubts
Then came the evaluation session, where the judges commented on each work one by one. Unsurprisingly, they were all full of praise for Eve Dolemanās work. With Eveās current skills, even the on-site judges could hardly compete with her. What was even more amazing was that she was not a professional designer. She had never professionally studied design, and she was usually busy filming, presumably without time to study. To create such stunning work now, she must have exceptional talent.
By now, all the judges had expressed their opinion, and the host couldnāt help but look at Elijah Flack, āMr. Flack, whose work do you like?ā
Everyone was very satisfied with Eveās work, and even amateurs could see that her skills were far better than the other designers. So when the host asked Elijah, it was only a routine question, after all, Elijah was mild-tempered, and he believed Elijah would surely agree with everyone elseās view.
Eve anxiously looked at Elijah, looking forward to his praise, but Elijah calmly picked up the microphone and let out a soft chuckle.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering if Elijah liked it or not.
Some judges at the side instinctively looked at him, only to see contempt in his eyes. The host awkwardly smiled, āMr. Flack has a unique way of expressing his fondness. Letās move on to the next session, where the judges will score the works.ā
āNo.ā Elijah spoke coldly, to everyoneās amazement. Elijah, who was a gentleman with a good temper, had never been so rude, let alone taking advantage of his celebrity status to put on a superstar act. However, todayās Elijah was acting unusually strange.
The host looked distressed, āMr. Flackā¦ā
āI havenāt expressed my liking yet.ā Elijah said bluntly, with an icy gaze on Eve, āMiss Hughesā work is indeed perfect.ā
Eve breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps Elijah personally disliked this style, but he couldnāt deny that her work was indeed perfect. Among the five contestants, Elijah only praised her work, making her stand out from the rest.
But the next secondā¦
Elijahās eyes were sharp, and his tone was sarcastic, āHowever, did Miss Hughes design the work yourself?ā
Everyone was stunned, the hostās expression was rigid, and no one expected Elijah to publicly question Eve, implying that she plagiarized.
Eve hurriedly retorted, āYes! Of course!ā
The judges looked at Elijah in surprise, then at Eve with suspicion. With Elijahās current status, he didnāt need to falsely accuse Eve. The fact that he could say this meant he must have known the inside story.
Elijah snorted coldly, āIs that so? Miss Hughes is very confident.ā
The host gave a forced laugh. The judges next to him hurriedly tried to smooth things over, āMr. Flack is certainly joking! After all, Eveās work is perfect, so much so that it doesnāt seem like the work of an amateur.ā
Elijah ignored everyone, his tone even colder, āMiss Hughes, let me ask you again, is this work designed by you?ā
Upon hearing this, the judges began to doubt as well. Eve was just an amateur designer. How could she create such stunning work? And Elijahās reputation was trustworthy; he wouldnāt falsely accuse people.
Eve lowered her head guiltily, her forehead sweating profusely under everyoneās questioning gaze. She knew that if the plagiarism was exposed, her career would be ruined. So she could only grit her teeth and reply, āMr. Flack, you must be misunderstanding. This is my work, and if you donāt believe me, I can bring out the design drawings!ā
At this point, one of the judges spoke out dissatisfied, āMr. Flack, on what basis do you say that this set of dresses is not Eveās work? Do you have evidence? You should know that peopleās words can be feared, and your little joke here may ruin Eveās future.ā
To stand out in the show, Eve had bribed two of the judges, and they naturally came to her defense. Everyone obviously knew this.
āEvidence?ā Elijah raised his eyebrows, smiling, āI have no evidence. Since Miss Hughes is so sure that the work is her own, Iāll give you my vote.ā
Eve finally let out a sigh of relief, glad that Elijah didnāt continue to embarrass her, otherwise she wouldnāt know what to do.
Seeing this, the host immediately followed up, āSince Eveās work is so amazing that it made Mr. Flack think that the work didnāt belong to her, we thank Mr. Flack for his candidness. Our show needs to be honest and transparent to present a better program effect to the audience.ā
