Her Seven Little Bodyguards novel Chapter 681

Chapter 681

Morales and Morgan said mysteriously, "You'll find out soon."

"Ooh, a mystery. Can I have a guess?"

"Sure."

Jennifer looked at the designs with interest, thinking about her answer seriously. "Let's see if I can get it right." She stared at the submissions and mused about it for a moment. Finally, she pointed at a crystal ball. "Is that your submission?"

Morales and Morgan smiled. They knew Jennifer would make that guess, and they shook their heads. "No."

I got it wrong? Jennifer looked at the other designs in surprise. I can't imagine how a literal child can come up with any of those designs. "Well, this is surprising. You guys managed to come up with something so awesome at your age. I can't wait for the results." She was still staring at the other designs. Every one of them was surprisingly complex and creative.

While everyone was waiting for the results, Zephyr said, "I know you're waiting for the results, but I have to announce a case of plagiarism before that."

Plagiarism? Everyone was shocked. There were a lot of contestants and designers here, and plagiarism was a serious offense. If anyone was found guilty of that offense in this competition, they could never ever step foot in the design industry.

Tilly and Thea froze when they heard the word 'plagiarism'. They instantly straightened their backs as they waited for the continuation. Eddie had spent a ton of money on the submission and promised nothing would go wrong. They were sure they weren't the plagiariser. At least, that was what Tilly told herself. Her wish was shattered a moment later when the crystal ball was shown on the screen. They immediately blanched at the sight because that was Tilly's 'submission'.

Zephyr didn't disclose the name of the one who submitted this work. Instead, he looked at the file and announced, "We've looked into this. Unfortunately, the submission, titled Crystal Amoris, is created by one of the contestants, Threeday, and not Melania."

Melania was Tilly, of course. She couldn't stay calm anymore, and she shot up from her seat. Her reaction attracted the attention of everyone around her, but she was only a child, so nobody knew she was the plagiariser. What? How did this happen? Threeday is here? I thought Eddie said they wouldn't be participating. Why are they here? And they noticed this too? What's going on here?

Vania looked at the file in her hand and smiled. Ah, so Melania is Tilly. But this submission seems familiar, though. Did my son make this? The crystal ball's design looks like something the boys would come up with, but it's different too. It's like there's a veil of mystery around it. She looked pensively at the submission. Well, never let it be said that I don't know how to enjoy myself. Let's get this little show on the road.

Zephyr waited for the discussion to die down a little before he continued, "And now we'll begin announcing the results."

"A minute, please," Tilly blurted. Her childlike voice stood out amongst the whispering masses, and silence fell for a moment. "I have a question," she directed that question to Zephyr.

Everyone could see she was a child, so they didn't mind. Children loved to run their mouths, so such a minor interruption was understandable. Some didn't take to it too kindly, though, as they didn't waste time chastising Thea, "You're her mother, aren't you? Keep her in line, please."
