Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 56

That world-renowned fashion designer is a judge in this competition?! Oh, my God! We thought Angel would be a blond, blue-eyed beauty from overseas! Instead, she turned out to be a citizen of Criecia! Haha! This is getting interesting! To think that Anna Maxwell plagiarized Angel’s designs and even had the audacity to claim that her sister prevented her from joining the competition because she was afraid of her talents. What sort of joke is this?

All those who were still dubious of Olivia’s words just now immediately changed their perception of her as soon as her identity was revealed. Angel was a world-renowned fashion designer. Thus, it simply wasn’t worth her time to pick on a small-time designer, unless that designer stepped on her toes! C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Even Eugene had a shocked expression on his face at that moment. She’s the world-renowned fashion designer, Angel! I can’t believe I rejected Angel when she came looking for a job at my company! Then, he rubbed his pounding head. It’s too late now!

On the other hand, Anna looked like she was in shock. One couldn’t tell whether her eyes held more fear or disbelief in them; perhaps, it was a mixture of both.

How is this possible? How can she be Angel? The Angel that I’ve always admired and always wanted to receive advice from? That Angel? How is that possible? Right now, even if Olivia doesn’t bring out those designs, the audience is already on Olivia’s side. They won’t believe me anymore! What do I do? It’s over now!

Just then, Olivia received the photos from Kate. It was a photo of the four best friends together in university—each wearing the outfits from the four gentlemen of the seasons’ collection that she had designed—standing at the entrance of the university. There was also another photo of Kate wearing

her bamboo-themed evening dress. It looked like she had just taken it. Compared to seven years ago, it gave off a more mature charm.

Olivia looked toward the audience. “This collection is a previous design I created seven years ago. For it to appear here is, honestly, a shock to me. I’m also very angry about it. This isn’t just about the matter of plagiarism; it has also ruined the original meaning behind why I designed these four evening dresses for me and my best friends back then. I designed them because I wanted us to have one-of-a-kind dresses! They represented how I viewed my best friends in my heart—they were unique and irreplaceable! Unfortunately, my creation, in all its originality, was copied and displayed on the screen, right under my nose! If I wasn’t a judge at this competition, wouldn’t these designs be mass-produced for the public? If I didn’t have the evidence to prove that these creations were mine, wouldn’t I have been painted as a terrible and vicious sister who picked on her sister? Not every weak-looking person is harmless; they could turn out to be a pretentious b*tch setting up a trap to take down the strong! A so-called original creation is original because it is one-of-a-kind! It’s not enough to pull underhanded tricks behind the scenes and put on a pathetic display while crying! Don’t participate in this competition if you don’t have the ability to do so!”

At that moment, nobody dared to say that Olivia was picking on others anymore.

After all, what she said was true. It was a competition. One should bring out the best of their abilities when participating in a competition. If one didn’t have those abilities, then they shouldn’t participate and end up making a fool of themselves!

Anna’s face was pale. There was no way for her to disprove those pictures. Moreover, the looks from the audience were like knives stabbing into her heart. I never imagined things would turn south so badly! If I knew this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have stolen Olivia’s designs. But, how could I have known that Olivia is Angel?!

Thus, Anna hurriedly fled off stage, and the grand competition naturally disqualified. Compared to the number of people she shamed, she got off pretty easily!

Following that, the grand competition’s program crew apologized to Olivia. Even so, Olivia wasn’t bothered. She knew exactly what was going on with Anna.

After the event, she saw Eugene waiting for her. Then, she walked over to him apologetically. “I’m sorry for making you suffer an unfair accusation with me today.”

Eugene laughed. “No problem, Angel.”

Upon hearing that, Olivia lowered her head and laughed lightly too. “Not many know me by that name.”

Eugene took a deep breath and woefully said, “If you had used that name when you came to the company, you wouldn’t even have needed to go through an interview! And, I wouldn’t have lost the opportunity to gain a world-renowned fashion designer under my wing because of a misunderstanding!”
