Chapter 968: Chapter 968: She is Also a Plagiarism Dog
Everyone thought Xaviera Evans had admitted it, and Eve Dolemanâs face was full of triumph, âI donât want to waste everyoneâs time either. As long as you apologize to me and redraw the design, I will forgive you! We will redo the recording as if this incident never happened.â
Eveâs words were stuck in her throat. Just as she was about to retort, an angry voice came from backstage, âI disagree!â
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in a silver-gray suit walking out of the darkness. The judge that Eve had bribed was about to scold him, but stopped in shock when he saw the manâs face, âLohillâŠMr. Drew?â
The manâs cold gaze swept over everyone, eventually resting on Xaviera, and his eyes softened.
The face was familiar to everyone as it often appeared on the covers of major fashion magazines â the prince of the fashion world, and the president of Glaze Company, Buck Drew.
âItâs Buck Drew! Heâs even more handsome in person than on magazine covers!â
âBuck Drew used to be a designer too, he should despise plagiarism! Moreover, Miss Hughes only asked the designer to apologize, without any excessive demands. Why doesnât he agree?â
The judges didnât dare to offend Buck Drew, and smiled sycophantically, âMr. Drew, you may not know yet, but this designer plagiarized Miss Hughesâ work. Now Miss Hughes only needs an apology from the designer. Why are you here today⊠â
âOn what grounds should she apologize?â Buck Drew ruthlessly interrupted the speaker, not even putting the judges in his eyes and looked coldly at Eve.
âYou claim that this set of dresses was designed by you?â Buck Drew questioned.
Seeing Buck Drewâs deep eyes staring at her, Eve suddenly blushed, âYesâŠitâs me.â
She thought Buck Drew would praise her, but the next second he suddenly sneered, âHow did Lohillâs design from half a year ago become Miss Hughesâ work? Miss Hughes, you should think carefully if youâre worthy of this design.â
Xaviera lazily crossed her arms, slowly lifting the corners of her lips. Although she had no evidence to prove her own innocence, what did it matter? As long as Buck Drew stepped in, who would question him?
Eveâs expression stiffened, her coyness and joy disappearing instantly. She was struck by a lightning bolt â what did Buck Drew mean by that? What did this have to do with Lohill?
Agent Jacqueline Bryan on the side couldnât help but shudder when she heard the name Lohill. She couldnât believe her eyes as she stared at Xaviera, wishing she could stare a hole through her.
The audience also reacted, exclaiming, âSo this design is Lohillâs work! Does that mean Eve plagiarized Lohillâs work first, and then Xaviera plagiarized Eveâs work?â
âEve is a plagiarism dog too! What right has she to criticize others?â
Eve swallowed nervously, her throat dry as she said, âMr. Drew, this must be a misunderstanding. I didnât⊠â
Buck Drew didnât want to waste time with her and directly ordered the staff to play a video. In the video, a slender woman was sitting in front of Buck Drew, with her back facing the camera.
ââFinally finished, but I still feel like somethingâs off.â
âBuck Drew took the design and looked at it carefully, smiling, âItâs great! Arenât you being too hard on yourself?â
ââIâll keep it for now, it might come in handy someday.â
The video clearly showed the design, exactly the same as Eveâs, and the room fell silent.
âLet me explain to you all, the woman in the video is Lohill, who is also my good friend. So, Miss Hughes plagiarized Lohillâs work.â Buck Drewâs mouth curved into a mocking smile.
The audience stood up one after another, and the judges stared at Eve in disbelief. Even if she wanted to plagiarize, she shouldnât have plagiarized Lohillâs work! Wasnât that courting death?
After a moment of silence, a fan screamed furiously, âEve! You said this was your own design! How could you lie to us?â
âHow dare you steal Lohillâs design? Do you think that everything you steal is yours? Donât you even consider if your skills are on par with Lohillâs? Youâre really overestimating yourself!â
âNo!â Eve shouted in panic, feeling as if her blood had frozen. She looked at the disgusted expressions of those around her, humiliation covering her face for the first time.
