Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 249

Selena trained her gaze on Christina. The latter was the last one whose design draft she hadn’t seen yet. “Christina, I need you to submit your design now.”

The atmosphere was tense, especially since this matter had something to do with Christina.

After all, she had been under a lot of attention since the beginning of the competition and was also a contestant who Selena had high hopes for. Selena did not wish to see any problems with Christina’s work.

In an anxious tone, Holly spluttered, “Well? Why aren’t you showing your draft? Hurry up and show it to us, Christina. I bet you also copied your design from someone else!”

Looking like a nervous wreck, her actions and words were akin to someone desperately trying to pull another down with them to feel better about their misery.

As a hint of coldness flickered across Christina’s eyes, the corners of her mouth curled up in a slight smirk before she said. “Since you’re so eager to see it, why don’t we let everyone have a look as well?”

With that, she removed the sun visor, revealing a design drawing with strong contrasting colors that caught everyone’s attention.

It was obvious that Christina’s design drawing was an original one, showcasing a unique design style that was completely different from Holly’s. There was no trace of plagiarism in her work at all.

The moment Selena saw the draft, her gaze was glued to it.

It wasn’t until she repeatedly examined the design drawing that she finally snapped out of her astonishment and exclaimed, “This is the most satisfying piece of work I have ever seen!”

With a slight smile tugging at her lips, Christina accepted the praise in a confident and graceful manner. “Thank you for your recognition, Ms. Selena.”

Even if the crowd were not professional fashion experts, they could still perceive the differences between the two works.

All the color drained from Holly’s face as she stared at Christina’s design drawing. Obviously, this is not a case of plagiarism. That design drawing is a completely original creation!

Holly was painfully aware that, at that moment, she was the one who had plagiarized someone’s else work.

Stumbling forward as if she had lost control, she then lunged at Christina, yelling. “This is impossible… I clearly saw Ms. Selena’s design in your sketch. Are you deliberately trying to frame me?”

No wonder I saw that design sketch on the table as soon as I entered the room that day. It turns out it was intentional. It was a trap!

She tugged at Christina’s clothes and shouted frantically. “You’re a vile woman, Christina! You deliberately used Ms. Selena’s design to deceive me and make me look bad, didn’t you?”

As Holly tightened her hold, Christina’s collar was forcefully torn open in the midst of their struggle, exposing her fair collarbone.

Under such circumstances, even the most easygoing person would get angry.

As such, using the self-defense skill she had learned, Christina shoved Holly away, causing the other

woman to lose her balance before falling to the ground.

She then explained, “I didn’t have any inspiration at that time, so I looked through Ms. Selena’s previous works for inspiration. As for the design drawing you mentioned, it was a perfect piece of work in my eyes, so I printed it out to keep it in my collection. You, on the other hand, have been trying to plagiarize my work from the beginning, which is why we find ourselves in this situation now. You’re the one who has -issues here, and yet, you’re trying to blame it on someone else?”

The string of undeniable facts hit Holly like a barrage of stones, and she couldn’t believe she was being accused of plagiarism in a live broadcast.

This is the same as telling the whole world that I am a shameless plagiarist! This is all Christina’s fault! It’s all her fault…

Benjamin looked at Holly coldly, recalling how she had once shamelessly claimed that she looked down on designers from inferior schools and even mocked him by asking if designers from such a trashy school. could even be considered real designers.

At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to ask her if a plagiarizing designer could be considered a true designer.

Meanwhile, the designers who usually had a good relationship with Holly instinctively stepped aside, wanting to avoid any association with her.

The reason why she looked through Selena’s works was purely due to one of the designers she met that night having mentioned it, which piqued her curiosity and led her to take a look.

What she didn’t expect, however, was that Holly would enter her room and even sneak a look.

She clearly shot herself in the foot this time.

Benjamin chuckled and said, “All right. Let’s not dwell on those unhappy things any longer and have a celebration tonight!”

We really need one after the series of demanding competitions. Not to mention staying up all night to work on designs has been quite torturous.

Perhaps it was because the two of them came from humble backgrounds, for they naturally betame friends after facing numerous obstacles on their journey.

The footage for that night’s competition was unedited, showcasing the most authentic moments of the competition and attracting countless people to pay attention to Christina.

It even got to the point where someone had already dug up her studio’s account, which, when coupled with Rayne’s careful management of the account by posting attractive photos and captions, successfully made the account gain millions of followers.

The moment Rayne saw the news, she immediately called Christina and exclaimed, “Boss, our studio has gained millions of followers, and we’re about to reach six million!”

I can’t believe all the hard work I had put into posting before didn’t have much effect, but a single live broadcast managed to skyrocket our popularity.

Christina chuckled lightly when she heard that. She had never been too concerned about these things, but she had to admit it was indeed a good thing to have people paying attention to her.

“Fortunately, I have a lot of your photos saved on my phone. I’ll choose one and post an update, thanking the fans for their support,” Rayne suggested.

Christina had no objection to that. “All right. Thank you for your hard work.”

Rayne replied, “Don’t mention it. After all, while you’ve been busy with the competition lately, I don’t really have much to do at the hotel.”
