There was a great tumult among the judges. Some of them, who didn't know the truth, whispered to each other and guessed what the relationship between the two women was guessing it might be their old feud.
On the projection screen behind the two figures were two designs in completely different styles, but the expressions of the two contestants were clearly confident. Scott snapped his fingers towards the sound equipment staff nearby. Then the staff raised the volume of the equipment to the top. Since they had tested many times before, and the microphones were connected. Everything was in order.
At this moment, everyone was looking at each other waiting for them to speak.
Before Joan could say something, Jean's sweet voice came through the microphone. Hearing that, Joan, who was standing beside her, felt very uncomfortable. "Good afternoon, dear judges. Today is the final stage of the competition, but... I'm going to say something else first. "
Some judges who just quieted down began to talk again. In contrast, Scott and Jean looked at each other tacitly and smiled at Joan, in a cunning way.
She cleared her throat and smiled. "First, I want to introduce my opponent, the designer by my side to all the judges!" She stressed the word "designer" with emphasis on it.
"Everybody, look at the contestant register in your hands. Her name is Joan, but her identity and history are not as clean as those written on the information."
Joan looked at her coldly, trying to look back at her in a bold and disdainful way. She said, "Enough! Why don't you tell them what kind of person you are? "
"Oh my god, Miss Gu! Did I say anything wrong? I'm so scared. You're always staring at me like that. I don't dare to say anything. " Then she turned to look at Scott and said, "How about you tell everyone?"
Scott nodded. Joan, who was standing on the stage and watching them performing, couldn't help but feel embarrassed. She was alone without backup and couldn't deal with anything.
She would never surrender to them!
The blue folder was waved in his hand. "I have an information about Miss. Gu. I'll send it to you all to have a look. She is not a designer at all. She is a woman who has just been released from prison for a few weeks. She has plagiarized an old design of Jean."
"Scott, you are good at making things up." She was about to lose her temper.
She didn't want her bonus and she didn't care whose design it was. This man didn't love her at all and kept pressing her step by step. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
At that time, she was too young to understand the meaning of those unreal oath. Besides, she was too young to understand Scott. The commitment he made was nothing. If the marriage could last long, the divorce lawyers would surely become the poor.
When she was about to step down the first step, Jean rushed towards her with her high heels. She waved her arms to stop her and said, "Don't go, Miss Gu. There are so many designers and reporters under the stage. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to leave like this."
Jean's lips were as red as blood, shining brightly. She pouted ," Guys, I'm not a mean woman. If you like the design, you can take it if you want. But you are going to take Scott away, too. And you even set me up by all means. You won't let go of my innocent child. "
It was a pity for Jean not being a good actress. Hearing the sensational news one after another, the journalists couldn't keep silent any more. They turned on the recording equipment and laptop, unwilling to let go of this sensational news.
"Miss Gu, did you really steal Miss Bai's design drawing for yourself?"
