Chapter 1451


    Lina shook her head with a smirk.


    In the meantime, Natalie lifted her cup of coffee and took a sip. “Enough of that. Anyway, it''s good that


    she is asking for trouble herself. At least we don''t have to waste energy on settling the score with her.”


    “You have a point.” Lina nodded. She turned back without uttering any words.


    Soon, there were images for almost twenty pictures showing side-by-side designs. The pictures were


    reckoned clear enough even after being erged.


    Almost all the participants knew all the judges like the back of their hands. Thus, they could deduce at


    one nce that the designs shown on the right in the pictures belonged to Natalie, but not the ones on


    the left.


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Not to mention, almost all of Natalie''s designs had either been published in magazines or showcased


    during fashion shows. Therefore, they were recognizable by anyone who had seen them online.


    On the other hand, most of them had nevere across the designs on the left. Even so, they had to


    admit that those designs were exceptionally simr to Natalie''s. In terms of designs, they were


    basically the same.


    In an instant, everyone else other than those participants who trusted Natalie locked their gazes on her


    in astonishment.


    The fact that Natalie was a giarist appeared to be even more indisputable after the pictures were


    disclosed.


    “Ms. Smith, it''s not true, is it?”


    “Yeah! Ms. Smith, you didn''t giarize others'' designs, right?”


    Some of the participants who liked her queried with quivering voices.


    Before Natalie could respond, those participants taking Lucy''s side retorted, “Now that the concrete


    evidence is right in front of our eyes, why do you guys still refuse to believe it? You guys are indeed


    hopeless!”


    “That''s right. If she didn''t giarize, what''s with these pictures then?”


    “I...” The participants who questioned Natalie a while ago were bereft of speech.


    Meanwhile, Lucy was more than happy to see themotion in front of her. She could scarcely refrain


    fromughing out loud when more and more participants took her side, believing that Natalie had


    giarized others'' designs. She''s doomed! Natalie Smith is doomed!


    She turned toward the judges'' panel gleefully, imagining that Natalie should be nonplussed at the


    moment. Aha! I bet she can''t maintain her so-called nonchnce anymore.


    However, the triumph on her face froze the moment she cast a look in Natalie''s direction.


    Still, she could not sense the slightest bit of apprehension amid utter nonchnce in thetter''s


    countenance.


    Subsequently, Lucy''s face contorted with rage. Why? Why isn''t she nervous? She''s even in the mood


    to savor her coffee! Why could she remain nonchnt even after the evidence of her giarism is


    revealed?


    Lucy shook her head in bafflement, unable to wrap her head around Natalie''s reaction.


    At the same time, she was ovee by a sense of inexplicit frustration. It was as though she had


    thrown a punch onto fluffy cotton.


    Lina also lifted her cup of coffee to take a sip and grinned. “Nat, look. Lucy Rivers seems to have


    gotten all worked up. Look at her distorted face.”


    Natalie''s lips curled into a smile. “It''s because she couldn''t ept the fact that I did not show any hint


    of fear or anxiety. She presumed I would be terrified after she disclosed the so-called evidence. If so,


    she would be tickled pink. However, things did not turn out the way she wanted. That''s why she flipped


    out.”


    “How ridiculous! How could she have the cheek to report you when she herself isn''t calm?” Lina


    snorted sardonically.


    After a second or two, she asked again, “Oh yeah! Nat, do you have any ideas about who produced the


    designs alongside yours in the picture? Even though those designs are not as striking as yours, they


    are still impressive designs good enough for fashion shows. Thus, I guess those designs could be from


    a renowned designer. But, could any renowned designers easily be bribed by Lucy Rivers?”


    She had a hunch Lucy must have looked for someone to draw some designs exceptionally simr to


    Natalie''s to set her up.


    After all, Natalie''s design style and talent were not something that every designer could imitate. Hence,


    it was no easy feat to produce a design simr to hers in terms of style and level.
