Seeing her arrogant attitude, the judge frowned, clearly annoyed, and imdiately said coldly, "Alina, take a look at your design this ti. Whether it’s the pattern making or the stitching, it’s nowhere near your usual standard! Of all the works, yours is the most shoddy!"
Being publicly criticized, Alina’s face turned a bit awkward.
"You... what nonsense are you talking! You’re subtly defending Qiao Mo!"
The judge clearly wasn’t afraid of being accused of favoring a plagiarist and said again, "Look at your own craftsmanship, the stitching is crooked! The tailoring is even asymtric. Do you need to turn this gown inside out to let you see how the inside is made?"
Alina was red-faced and stamred, unable to speak. A hint of resentnt flashed in her eyes as she looked at the judge.
The judge was a foreign woman in her forties, with neat ear-length short hair, very sophisticated and capable.
Seeing Alina silent, a hint of heartache flashed through her eyes, and she said again, "Regarding the issue of similar designs this ti, the judges will give a response. But as for you, Alina, I think I need to talk to your mother."
Alina turned pale, realizing that the judge in front of her was likely an old friend of her mother’s.
She felt apprehensive imdiately, attempting several tis to say sothing. However, the judge did not give her the opportunity, having already turned around and taken her seat.
With Alina’s disruption gone, the venue returned to normal temporarily.
The host took the microphone and made so summaries about the competition, then further stated, "Given that Qiao Mo and Alina’s designs are very similar, and based on submission tis to determine Qiao Mo suspected of plagiarism, Qiao Mo is not eligible to win, and this competition will not recognize any awards Qiao Mo has received."
The audience murmured at once.
This is quite interesting, first generously awarding Qiao Mo, but then announcing not acknowledging any awards Qiao Mo received.
If not acknowledging, why award her and not give the opportunity to other contestants?
If acknowledging, why publicly deny it and announce such a manner to handle it?
Upon hearing this, Qiao Mo was stunned, and Alina was stunned as well.
Alina never expected what the host said as giving her an answer would be the non-recognition of Qiao Mo’s award!
But the award was already given, and now they say it’s canceled! And say it’s not recognized!
What does this an?
Qiao Mo did not anticipate such a response to everyone either. Although she could sense the judges were defending her, her mood couldn’t improve.
After all, her half month’s efforts have now been labeled with plagiarism.
Although perhaps many people might be aware at this mont, aware of who the real designer is.
But to those outsiders unaware of the truth, and even many following dia and gossip, Qiao Mo can foresee, there will still be many cynical attacks waiting for her...
So at this mont, although the trophy still rests in her hands, although Alina’s face looks worse than hers, Qiao Mo still can’t feel happy.
After all, she should have openly received the award, but now she has to rely on the judges’ care; this feeling is truly unpleasant.
However, speaking of which, the judges indeed seed to have so intent to defend Qiao Mo, as everyone in this circle for years has sharp eyes. Comparing their few words and craftsmanship, the answer of who was plagiarized is evident.
