Hope It's Not Too Late to Love novel Chapter 687

Chapter 687

They were shooting weird looks at Tilly.

Tilly couldn't possibly hide from all these looks. But, she truly had no idea what Morales had just come up with.

"You have no idea what he just did?"

"You are a fake!"

"And a plagiarizer too. I can't believe this. Somebody report this!"

Everyone started attacking Tilly, and she almost felt like drowning from the insults.

"Anything else you need, Ms. Salgado? Or perhaps your daughter needs further clarification?" Morales asked, standing upright.

Thea was already embarrassed by the criticism and had nothing to say to Morales' question.

"Tell us the concept behind the design, or we'll never believe you created this!" Tilly said loudly, but she couldn't even look Morales in the eyes.

"Very well." Morales deliberately directed his entire focus on her. "I'll tell you the story behind this design, or someone might not understand what I just came up with." Then, he turned his sights to Bryan and Jennifer. "It's a bracelet I'm giving Mr. Bryan and Ms. Jennifer. It's my gift for them."

"Oh my! Thank you, Morales!" Jennifer was Morales' fan now, especially after such a great showing. So, she was publicly cheering him on.

After Morales explained the story behind the design, he turned the paper around, and the screen also showed the invention in its full glory. It was then that Tilly and Thea realized what he had just designed as they blanched. He truly finished it in half an hour. Now, what should we do?

Zephyr praised, "This is better than the submissions we have today."

"Thank you, Mr. Zephyr," Morales thanked him politely. "I just got lucky since I had a sudden burst of inspiration earlier."

Zephyr smiled warmly, and it was one filled with approval toward Morales' skills. "You are your mother's son, alright. Nicely done."

"You flatter me, Mr. Zephyr," Vania said, then she changed the subject back to the competition, "I believe everyone knows who's the real plagiarizer now. So we'll hand this matter to the professionals."

"Of course. We'll stick to the plan." Zephyr took over the stage as the host as he continued with his announcement, "And now, the second runner-up!"

The top ten submissions started showing on the screen. "3… 2… 1… Stop!" The screen showed the design of a pair of earrings. "You'll have to come back up, Threeday. You're our second runner-up!"

He wasn't the champion, but he was still excited since this was his first award. He was beaming as he waited for the next runner-up.

Zephyr joked, "Do you want to hazard a guess of who our runner-up is?"

"I think my brother is the best designer around, so…"

That announcement sent the crowd into a little frenzy. Does he have a brother? Who's the boy? Oh, wait! His parents have seven kids! Wait… all of them joined the competition too? It'd be shocking if seven out of the ten submissions belong to the kids.

Zephyr was surprised too. He cocked his eyebrow and smiled at everyone. "And now, for our runner-up!"

The screen started scrolling again, finally stopping at the design of a pendant.

"Hey, that's Morgan's design!" The kids clapped for Morgan.
