Chapter 378: cklist


    <em>[Don''t tell anyone you are my apprentice and cut my nose.]</em>


    Compared to previous, Aria was down reading that card.


    n who had seen the local yacht asked, "Did your teacher send it?"


    Aria shook her head rolling on the bed in despair, "Don''t you know that handwriting?"


    n coughed lightly because he didn''t know the handwriting. Aria tossed a pillow at him, "That''s brother Vince''s handwriting."


    n retorted, "This is not his handwriting."


    "Heh? He writes in seven types of handwriting. He can forge my sign with his eyes closed. He does your sign in the left hand."


    n: "..."


    Vince was his friend but Aria knew many more things about Vince than himself. He got to know about Vince''s girlfriend by Aria. He started to feel like he became friends with Aria''s brother but not the other way around.


    "Are you unhappy because he is disappointed?"


    Aria sat and spoke, "He meant to say, how can I let my design steal under my nose? And he wants me to teach that man a lesson else he will not ept me as his apprentice anymore."


    n: "..." He didn''t know what else to do other than hugging his wife to calm her down.


    ...


    On the other end, the Hanes family members assembled in Jude''s room and he asked, "What is going on?"


    Selena cried looking pitiful, "Grandfather, that girl hit me for no reason."


    Moran who had checked on her boyfriend after hearing n passed his tab to Jude. Thetter quickly recognized the gown and said, "This is Norah''s dress which Aria designed."


    Moran hummed, "She took it to country U and gave it to her boyfriend. He is famous and also used this opportunity to bring him to thepany. In just a day, three assistants are added to him, am I right Selena?"


    Selena didn''t expect them to be so quick. Her boyfriend was struggling for years to earn the name, She never heard Alia in country U and didn''t think that gown could go viral upon that she didn''t expect them to know about it at all. She particrly chose the wedding time so that nobody notices it. So she advanced her n, hired her boyfriend, andpleted the procedure with her assistant.


    But she didn''t expect that gown to be sold by her boyfriend. "I... I don''t..." She stammered by Jude cut in.


    "Don''t dare to lie" His authoritative domineering cold tone held the power.


    Selena started quivering and blurted out while her tears flew on her cheeks in fright, "There is no Aria designer in country U so I thought I can use it."


    Moran spoke, "Alia is Aria, her teacher is renowned designer AG. Her numerous designs showcased in his shows and she is famous as the Best apprentice of AG. Do you think he will let your boyfriend off? Even Aria is in trouble now."


    Selena''s mother pped her without mercy, "You told me that dress was by your boyfriend you gave to Norah for engagement. I should have attended the engagement, I would have got to know."


    Jude grunted and all became silent. He turned to Moran and instructed, "Since he is hired by Hanes, release a statement saying it isn''t his design and it''s a stolen one. Collect a piece of design evidence from Aria and release it. cklist that man and fire her. Try to contact that customer and get the dress back."


    Moran responded, "Yes, grandfather."


    Selena was about to retort, her mother struck on her mouth while her father sighed in resignation. He had said, if her boyfriend achieves something remarkable, then he will hire her boyfriend, he felt like he pushed them to dead-end causing them to n so much.


    ---


    Eva had exined to Morgan, Mills, and the Wood family about the situation and could only sigh for the human greediness. But nobody let it affect the wedding reception to keep the newly wedded happy.


    Sending the newly wedded couple to honeymoon, Aria and n went to country U, Moran too flew to country U and the rest dispersed to their abode.


    ---


    In the country U


    As soon as Aria and nnded in country U, both got the news Hanes industries handled everything so they just needed to meet her teacher and calm him down.


    When they reached the AG''s home, AG was on fire cussing the noob designer whoined in the fashion association saying it as his design and asking to remove him from the cklist.


    "AG!" Aria sweetly called and AG tranquilized down instantly.


    He was a man in his mid-fifties, he liked Aria as his daughter because he never was satisfied with his students'' talent than hers. "Look at you still smiling. How dare that man say yours is his design?"


    Both gave a formal hug and n and AG shook their hand. Thetter knew from a long time they were married. "I have all the proof needed so it''s just a waste of our emotions. Haven''t you told, a beautiful mind depicts beautiful art?"


    They sat down and AG responded, "Stop exercising my lines back to me. Now tell me how did your dress end up here? It isn''t like youck money."


    Aria nodded and narrated from the beginning to the end to calm AG but he was more frustrated hearing it and disgusted thinking how the people steep so low for sess and fame.


    AG spoke after checking the time, "We will have lunch and leave for the association." AG was a man who doesn''t fret over general talk and decides everything quickly. n didn''t worry and apanied Aria.


    ...


    At the National fashion association,


    Aria entered to see the chairman of the association sitting with directors. It was impossible to meet them and due to the viral gown design, all were present to know who was a real treasure and who was a ck stone.


    Their opinion was already leaned over Aria because she was AG named Best student whose dresses ruled over ramps under AG''s guidance.


    The man who acimed the dress belonged to him and started submitting his drafts and proofs stating it as his and openly used Aria who was ignorantly looking at the show. She knew well he had no idea who was her teacher and why Hanes cklisted him.


    n whispered to her, "Don''t fret over it."


    Aria smiled nodding her head hugging his arm and yawned due to jetg.


    That man sneered looking at her, "Chairman Williams, how can that woman look down on the meeting and disrespect you all?"


    Aria promptly said, "I''m sleepy. How can I control that?"


    AG shook his head in resignation. He wasn''t new to her attitude of provocation and then pping the face with proofs.


    Chairman Williams''s face was dark because that not the way to act in such an important meeting, "Ms.Alia, behave."


    Aria stood up to present her proofs, "This is the line draft of the dress, These fifteen sheets are color correction I did for a month to achieve the consistency. This is the final color correction done with my friend''s help. This is the handicraft designs that I prepared before trying it on the dress."


    She wasn''t finished yet, that man startedughing, "This proves, you tried to replicate my design and failed so many times."


    The board of directors agreed to him. "He has a point. Ms.Alia, I''m sure you know we don''t support giarism. We can also cklist you in country A."


    "Go ahead" Aria calmly spoke and went back to her chair.
