Chapter 967: Chapter 967: Admitting Mistakes and Making Amends Is The Greatest Virtue
The judges were stunned as well. They thought this designer was just a minor character, who could be manipulated at will. But who knew she was Elijah Flackâs sister! But he remembered that her surname was Evans? Perhaps sheâs a distant relative of the Flack family.
However, Eve Doleman remained unperturbed, seemingly indifferent to the other partyâs identity. âElijah Flack, there is nothing wrong with you protecting your sister, but just because she is your sister, you canât simply accuse me of plagiarising her.â
After speaking, Doleman glanced at the producer stage-side, they exchanged a glance.
The producer understood what Doleman meant. At present, all the evidence points to the designer Evans. Even if Elijah Flack was dissatisfied, he couldnât cause a commotion in the program crew. After all, he still had to maintain his image.
Moreover, this variety show was recorded for Doleman. Her sugar daddy invested 50 million dollars to promote her. So, naturally, those who were paid by the program group should serve her.
Considering this, the producer quickly intervened, âBefore the show starts, everyone will submit their designs on time. By rights, Miss Doleman and the masked designer should have handed them over too. Since both parties deny plagiarising, why not display both designs? Then it will be clear at a glance.â
Caught in the middle, the director, not wanting to offend either side, had no choice but to send someone to retrieve the designs. For fairness, the director even sent a cameraman along, so that everyone on set could watch the proceedings on a big screen. Everyone clearly saw a staff member swiftly retrieve a folder containing the designs. Under so many watchful eyes, he had no time to switch anything.
After the designs were brought over, Doleman continued to admonish Miss Evans, âMiss Evans, you come from such a good background and are young and beautiful. Why ruin your future over a moment of impulsiveness? Iâm giving you a chance. As long as you apologise now, I wonât pursue the matter any further and not allow word of this to spread outside.â
âTo recognise your mistakes and correct them is the best. Youâre young, and you shouldnât always think about plagiarising. If youâre stubborn now, you will definitely regret the actions of today in the future.â
Xaviera Evans didnât bother with her, turning to the staff member instead, âOpen it up!â
Seeing Evans so arrogant, Doleman fumed, letting her be haughty for now. Once the design was revealed, weâd see what she had to say!
When the folder was opened, there were six participants in the competition, but only five designs in the folder. Everyone else took their own design, leaving only one remaining. Neither Doleman nor Evans were in a hurry to claim it.
âWhy is there only one design left?â
âOne of them definitely didnât submit their design! Letâs see whose design is inside!â
The director instructed the staff to open the design. Doleman grinned confidently, that design definitely held her name.
Xaviera Evans let out a soft laugh. The intelligence of the Hughes family seemed to be lacking. Thinking they were being smart, they forgot that the more wrongdoings, the more likely theyâre to be revealed.
The staff member then opened the design and loudly declared, âThe signatoryâs name is Miss Dolemanâs!â
Then he held the design up to the camera for everyone to see clearly.
Doleman was ecstatic but didnât show it. Instead, she sighed regretfully, âMiss Evans, Iâve said it before that I can forgive you, but you still wanted to cause a scene. Do you think you can act recklessly just because youâre Elijah Flackâs sister?â
âThe facts have proven that I am the owner of this piece. Now, you need to apologize to everyone present. Your stubbornness has caused the program to be suspended and wasted everyoneâs valuable time. You should be responsible for this!â
Xaviera Evans slowly looked up, the corners of her mouth curling into an almost undetectable smile, âMiss Hughes, you and I know very well who stole whose design. I will also give you one chance; I hope you will admit your mistake.â
Dolemanâs face turned cold, and she retorted angrily, âWhat nonsense are you talking about? You clearly plagiarised my work and stole my design. Yet youâre trying to bite back. Since youâre so obstinate, see you in court!â
Doleman looked wronged, her voice filled with sorrow, âMy hard work was plagiarised, Iâm being falsely accused and even when the truth is out, Miss Evans is still unwilling to admit her mistake. Donât you find that excessive?â
Xaviera Evansâ eyelashes fluttered, a hint of coldness in her eyes, âYes, itâs quite excessive.â
