Vania and Luke weren't surprised by this turn of events as things were going in the direction they had envisioned.
"Him? How could it be him?" Tilly and Thea gasped in shock at the reveal.
Tilly looked at him, feeling panicked. "You're Threeday?"
"Yes," Morales answered calmly.
Everyone thought he was too calm for his age, but then again, Tilly was too cunning for her age too. Their eyes burned with curiosity as they watched the kids going at each other. It was an exciting battle, but only one would emerge as the victor.
"Where's your proof?" Tilly frowned. She couldn't believe this was happening; her mind was screaming in denial.
"Oh, you don't believe me?" Morales smiled. He might be young, but he was handsome enough to make the ladies swoon.
Some ladies did swoon, and they couldn't help the praises and coos falling from their lips.
"Well, it's easy to change your opinion. I'll just show you the transaction record." Morales texted Zephyr the account details and told him to show them on the screen. It was real. All the transactions tallied up with what Zephyr and Morales had said.
In the face of such solid evidence, Tilly couldn't come up with anything to say, and Thea blanched. They had planned this scheme for a while now, but it was crushed before it even began. Not only did they fail to get Vania's praise, but they also ruined their own reputation too. It was the worst outcome.
The crowd was also throwing a lot of criticism at them, making them feel utterly humiliated.
"Honesty is the best policy. You should also be prepared to face the consequences of your actions, regardless of how young you are. It'll be bad for your future if you continue down this road," Zephyr said. It was a cautionary tale for everyone.
Alas, Thea wouldn't let her schemes go down in flames just like that. So, she pointed at Morales, "And who can prove he's the one who made this design? He's just a kid too."
Everyone looked at Morales again. They couldn't help but agree with her as it was relatively suspicious that a five-year-old could make something so astonishing.
Thea noticed the suspicion in everyone's eyes, and she smiled smugly. "His mother is Vania, herself. I think you guys should look into his submission too. I don't think he came up with his submission himself."
The news surprised everyone. So he's their kid? No wonder he's so handsome and attractive. Still, the fact that Vania was his mother swayed the crowd in Thea's favor. They also started suspecting Morales of nepotism, and they whispered among themselves.
Thea was delighted that everyone reacted that way. I'll drag Vania down even if I lose.
"I can't believe it! That woman is a b*tch!" Angered by her slanderous accusation, Jennifer smacked Bryan's hand.
"Calm down, Jennifer." Bryan rubbed his hand. "Morales can destroy them himself." He was confident that the kids could do just that.
The crowd was watching him, but Morales was only smirking at Thea. "Looks like someone's gonna get slapped with slander charges today."
Jude quickly gave their phone to Zephyr.
Morales went onto the stage and stood upright. "Yes, Vania's my mother, and I can't deny that I have inherited her talent for design. We recorded the process of this work's creation. And we'll show it to you guys right now." Morales continued saying as they played the video, "My mother was shooting for a TV show when I was working on this piece. So all of you are welcome to watch the video now." The video started playing, and it was a 360° video.
