Her gaze upon Eloise was icy.


    “That recording clearly establishes that it was Dulce’s assistant, Eloise, who requested these specific alterations to the design.


    Don’t you recognize your own voice, Eloise?”


    “T .


    .


    ” Eloise felt her thoughts scattering.


    Mia cut her off, turning her attention to Dulce.


    “Well, what’s your exnation?”


    Quick to recover, Eloise blurted out, “Dulce had nothing to do with this.


    My understanding of design is quite limited.


    I merely offered some arbitrary suggestions.


    Ste must’ve seized the opportunity to giarize from an existing design due to her ownziness.


    ”


    Growing more vehement, she continued, “She probably thought the original designer had long since passed away and that no one would ever find out.


    She never counted on you noticing, Ms.


    Dury.


    ”


    In the end, she didn’t forget to tter Mia.


    Seizing the moment, Dulce chimed in, “I consider myself fortunate to have invited Ms.


    Dury today.


    Otherwise, I would’ve fallen for Ste’s deceit.


    ”Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Dulce’s affirmation led Mia to regard Ste with renewed skepticism and suspicion.


    The assembled reporters buzzed with conversation.


    Ste found their brazenness amusing.


    Yet, she remained unfazed, having prepared for precisely this kind of scenario.


    After the room fell silent, Ste grinned subtly.


    “Since there’s still doubt surrounding my integrity, I’ve brought the sample dress I designed.


    Let’s all take a look ande to a final verdict, shall we?”


    “Very well,” Mia responded without a second thought.

    “I too am keen to see how this controversy resolves itself.


    ”


    Dulce’s expression darkened.


    When she saw Ste’s self-assured demeanor, a sense of unease crept over her.


    However, she knew that stopping Ste now would only make her look guilty.


    Masking her apprehension with a forced smile, Dulce nodded.


    “By all means, let Ste present her creation.


    I trust we all have our own judgments to make.


    ”


    With a sardonic smile, Ste delicately unzipped the garment bag, gingerly lifted out the dress, and disyed it for all to see.


    It was a long pink dress, entirely dissimr to the design she was used of giarizing.


    This piece exuded an ethereal quality, perfectly matching Dulce’s personality.


    ALL faces in the room, except Mia’s, tightened with disappointment.
