Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 891

With that, Elena walked off the stage.

The whispers in the audience continued to ripple through the room.

"So that's what the legendary Aurora actually looks like!"

"She's so incredibly low-key. I thought she'd be much older, but she looks younger than me!"

"I've loved Aurora for years. Thank god I came today. I'm so lucky to finally see her face."

"They say she's a walking gold mine. Any single piece she releases sets the global trend. If she designed more than just a few pieces a year, she'd be a billionaire by now!"

"That's exactly why she's our Aurora. She operates on a completely different level."

Her appearance had already caused a massive sensation, but she didn't want to overshadow the competition itself. Once Elena was gone, the truth of the scandal was clear to everyone.

Jennifer Sterling took the microphone. "Now that the truth has come to light, security will escort the plagiarist out of the building. I hope everyone in the industry will blacklist this shameless behavior. Stealing someone else's work and having the audacity to play the victim is unforgivable."

Security guards marched up and physically escorted Elaine out of the venue.

Finally, Claire saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

The host gave her the floor once more to properly present her designs.

Eventually, the judges selected the top three contestants and asked Elena to finalize the rankings.

Elena glanced at the results and saw that Claire had made the top three.

Watching the competition unfold, Elena knew Claire truly deserved her spot, even though Elaine had nearly destroyed her moment.

Thankfully, Elena had been fully prepared.

"Speaking of the winner," Elena turned to Sienna, "that designer is a rare talent. Why don't you approach their studio and see if we can acquire them? We could bring them under the LUMEN Studio umbrella."

Sienna's lips curled into a knowing smile. "Great minds think alike. I was planning exactly that. I'll go speak to them personally right now."

Meanwhile, outside the venue.

"Elaine, what am I supposed to do now? You ruined me! You promised this was foolproof! Why did this happen? I can't even show my face anymore. My career in the design world is over!" Nicole Evans panicked, pacing like a cat on a hot tin roof.

"Stop panicking! We're not dead yet," Elaine snapped.

Nicole possessed none of Elaine's manufactured calm. She was just a fresh graduate who had made a monumental, stupid mistake.

Before the competition began, Elaine had frequently invited Nicole out for coffee and bribed her with various perks. It took a lot of hesitation, but Nicole eventually caved and agreed to steal Claire's design drafts.
