Chapter 24

Sophia immediately shook her head in fear, stuttering, “No, no, I didn’t mean that.”

Violet chuckled, not too pleased, and said, “Just kidding, no need to take it seriously. You can call me Violet. Since you’re my assistant, work well with me and strive to become an assistant designer as soon as possible.”

Sophia nodded eagerly. “I’ll work hard, I promise.”

Sophia hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

While it’s true that this design is indeed Miss Webb’s, and she has enough evidence to prove it, the appeal process hasn’t started yet, which means her design is still considered disputed. According to the competition rules, disputed designs cannot be entered. How do you suggest we handle this?”
