"I don’t even know who to roast right now, Joel Jennings or Scarlett Jewel. (ー`´ー)"
"Scarlett Jewel says Joel Jennings approached her to plot against Claire rcer. But Joel Jennings says Scarlett ca to him... They’re at each other’s throats now. Honestly, it’s pretty entertaining."
"Doesn’t matter who approached who. Neither of them is a good person."
"This Scarlett Jewel just won’t go away. She shalessly beca a howrecker and destroyed soone’s marriage. And now she’s relentlessly hounding the original wife. What kind of sick ntality is that? I don’t get it!"
"I really thought Claire rcer had plagiarized, but it turns out she was frad by Joel Jennings."

"I knew Scarlett Jewel would cause trouble sooner or later. I just didn’t expect her to save it for the finale."
"Can Scarlett Jewel just get out of the public eye? How can a shaless howrecker like her even be allowed in this competition?"
"Seriously, I’m also wondering how much money she bribed the organizers with. How did soone with her design skills even make it to the finale?"
"Has anyone else noticed that Scarlett Jewel’s design today is a huge leap from all her previous work? Feels a bit fishy."
"Could it be that she’s the real plagiarist? Is that a possibility?"
"Now that you ntion it, I also feel like her design level jumped several tiers today."
"I’ll make a bold guess: what if Scarlett Jewel is the real plagiarist and just had Joel Jennings accuse Claire rcer?"
"If that’s really what happened, then she’s truly shaless."
"Waiting for the follow-up. Today’s drama has been very satisfying."
"Let’s keep watching the drama, maybe there’ll be a real surprise."

Who would want to turn down this deluge of traffic?
So brands imdiately contacted the event organizers, wanting to insert their own advertisents while the hype was at an all-ti high.
On the streaming platform, so official brand accounts with a more down-to-earth style were even extravagantly spamming rockets to fill the screen.
The organizers were absolutely raking it in. In just half an hour, their revenue had easily surpassed ten million.
Just as Scarlett Jewel and Joel Jennings were locked in their inseparable argunt...
Claire rcer took the microphone, her gaze fixed on Scarlett Jewel.
"Today, I am officially accusing Scarlett Jewel of plagiarizing my work."
As soon as she said this, everyone turned to look at Claire rcer in disbelief.
"For real? Scarlett Jewel plagiarized Claire rcer?"
"I knew it! I was wondering how her design skills improved so much today. Turns out she’s the real plagiarist."
"What kind of monster is this Scarlett Jewel? Where did she even co from?"
"If what Claire rcer is saying is true, then how could she, the real plagiarist, have the nerve to fra Claire?"
"There’s no stopping a shaless person. She was so brazen about being a howrecker; plagiarism is probably nothing to her."
"Did Claire rcer dig up Scarlett Jewel’s ancestral graves in a past life or sothing? Scarlett stole her man, and now she’s stealing her designs too."
"More drama to watch! The twists today just keep on coming. It’s like the drama of the year."
"And the key thing is, this is the drama of the year broadcast live nationwide. If Scarlett Jewel really did plagiarize, and then played the victim, she’ll be a disgrace on an international scale."
"Let’s watch, let’s watch, keep watching the show."
"..."
anwhile, Scarlett Jewel had been confronting Joel Jennings.
Claire rcer’s sudden accusation of plagiarism caught her completely off guard.
She turned toward Claire rcer in astonishnt, glaring and gritting her teeth.
"Claire rcer, you know the consequences of slandering soone in public."
"If you’re going to accuse of plagiarism, then show the proof."
"If you accuse without any evidence, I can sue you too."
Claire rcer scoffed lightly. "Scarlett Jewel, if I dare to expose your plagiarism in public, it’s because I naturally have proof."
"And my proof is real, not like the so-called evidence you fabricated to fra ."
"You..." Scarlett Jewel choked on her words, her face ashen as she clenched her jaw.
"Fine. Since you say I plagiarized, then bring out your evidence right now."
"Don’t worry. I’ll give you the proof you want very soon."
After a pause, Claire rcer turned to the audience and said,
"As you all probably know, before Scarlett Jewel returned to the rcer family, I was considered their daughter."
"After she returned to the rcer family, she moved into the rcer villa and took over the room I used to live in."
"Of course, she’s the rcer family’s true daughter, so she can live in any room she wants. I don’t care about that."
"But everything in my room disappeared, including a sketchbook full of designs I had drawn in my spare ti over the past two years."
"I once asked the rcer family where my sketchbook went, and the rcers said they’d thrown it in the trash."
"Back then, I actually believed them—that my sketchbook had been thrown away."
"But what I never expected was that today, here at the finale, I would see a design from that very sketchbook."
The mont she said this, everyone instantly understood what had happened.
Claire rcer shifted her gaze to Scarlett Jewel, the corners of her eyes and lips tinged with a sarcastic smile.
"Scarlett Jewel, your design for the finale today was plagiarized from a piece in my sketchbook."
"No, it’s not plagiarism. To be precise, you stole my design."
"You..." Scarlett Jewel’s heart pounded like a drum, and she guiltily averted her gaze.
"I don’t know what sketchbook you’re talking about. I’ve never seen it."
Claire rcer chuckled lightly. "It’s fine if you don’t admit it. I have proof."
