Jilted Bride 40

COMMENT Chapter

40

"Wha..." The audience stood up, amazement quickly flashing across their faces, only to be replaced by confusion and surprise.

The four judges in the panel were just as baffled, glancing at each other before one asked, "What's going on? How are these two contestants wearing the exact same outfit?"

Another judge chimed in, "Did the production team mess up, or or is someone guilty of plagiarism?"

In the design industry, plagiarism was the ultimate taboo. If someone was labeled a plagiarist, their career in the industry. was as good as over.

The host was equally stunned, Cameron hurriedly called for the recording to stop and walked onto the stage.

Emily returned to the center of the stage, standing side by side with Sharon, the two of them looking like twins,

Though Emily's face showed surprise and confusion, deep down, she already knew the answer. Well, it looks like I made the right call showing up today. I never expected such an unexpected surprise, she thought. I knew it! There's no way Ophelia's talent is real. She's only made it this far by stealing ideas!"

The two designers then walked onto the stage. Brock, utterly shocked, turned to Ophelia with disbelief. "Miss Spencer, can you... Can you give me a reasonable explanation?"

Since Brock's work had been shown first, everyone automatically assumed Ophelia was the one guilty of plagiarism. Besides. their status in the industry was worlds apart, making it all too easy to draw that conclusion.

As she looked at Brock's stunned expression, she couldn't help but sneer inwardly as she asked, "Mr. Decker, are you sure this is your design?" She kept calling him "Mr." with such respect, raising him onto a pedestal "Well, of course, Miss Spencer. I've always admired your work, but I never imagined... he sighed and shook his head in disappointment.

As soon as they heard that, someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Wow. I used to be a big fan of the Poker Face Allies, but I had no idea the designer was such a disgrace! Stealing someone else's design? Unbelievable!" Another added, "Yeah! And she didn't even try to hide it. The designs are identical!"
