Selena trained her gaze on Christina. Thetter was thest 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 thepetition 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 waspletely different from Holly’s. There was no trace of giarism 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 eximed, “This is the most satisfying piece of work I have ever seen!”
With a slight smile tugging at her lips, Christina epted 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 giarism. That design drawing is apletely original creation!
Holly was painfully aware that, at that moment, she was the one who had giarized 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 cor was forcefully torn open in the midst of their struggle,
exposing her fair corbone.
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 bnce before falling to the ground.
She then exined, “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
giarize 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 me it on someone else?”
The string of undeniable facts hit Holly like a barrage of stones, and she couldn’t believe she was being
used of giarism in a live broadcast.
This is the same as telling the whole world that I am a shameless giarist! This is all Christina’s fault!
It’s all her fault…
Benjamin looked at Holly coldly, recalling how she had once shamelessly imed 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 giarizing designer could be considered
a true designer.
Meanwhile, the designers who usually had a good rtionship with Holly instinctively stepped aside,
wanting to avoid any association with her.
Selena scoffed, and with a tone filled with a mix of pity and anger, she criticized, “You should at least do
some research if you want to copy off someone else’s work. It’s hrious how you don’t even recognize
my own works.”
She then turned her gaze toward the staff and ordered, “Remove this person. Since this is your first
offense, I won’t pursue legal action against your infringement. However, I demand that you leave this
sacredpetition venue immediately.”
The staff quickly approached and escorted Holly out, ensuring that the progress of thepetition
wouldn’t be disrupted.
With reddened eyes, Holly bit down on her trembling lip and vowed, “Mark my words, Christina, the
grudge between us is far from over!”
The look that Christina gave her in response was one of indifference, her eyes showing no signs of
emotion. She simply watched as Holly was escorted away by the staff
Losing apetition may not be a big deal. After all, for some people,petitions were just a starting
point, while for others, they served as turning points. Leaving doesn’t necessarily mean that one has
lost.pletely.
That being said, one should leave with dignity, at the very least.
Now that the whole fiasco was over, Selena proceeded to announce the seven finalists, which included.
Benjamin, while Christina secured first ce in this stage of thepetition.
As for her prize, it was the opportunity to coborate with Selena’s studio.
It was the kind of golden opportunity that almost every designer craved for.
Benjamin approached Christina and congratted her excitedly, acting as if he was the one who had
won the prize himself. “Christina, do you know how scared I was earlier? I was afraid you would
present a

design drawing that looked just like Holly’s.”
Thank goodness Christina is as capable as I think she is.
“You don’t have to worry about that. No matter how bad I am, I would never do something like that,”
came Christina’s reply.
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 demandingpetitions. 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’spetition 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 ount, which, when coupled
with Rayne’s careful management of the ount by posting attractive photos and captions,
sessfully made the ount gain millions of followers.
The moment Rayne saw the news, she immediately called Christina and eximed, “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 poprity.
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 thepetitiontely, I don’t
really have much to do at the hotel.”
