A chill ran down Gwen's spine. She started to worry for Caroline.However, Caroline seemed as if she were unaware of the predicament she was in. Her tone was relaxed and sincere when she said, "Of course, I'm happy that she's won with the skills she has." The smile on Layla's face faltered. Nobody besides herself knew exactly how she'd gotten first place. After hearing what Caroline said, the crowd started applauding once again. The way she spoke was sincere and magnanimous. Compared to Layla, Caroline was straightforward and big-hearted. Naturally, she deserved some praise and respect from them. After giving out the awards, the top five contestants and the CEOs of the sponsoring brands took a group photo together. Layla intentionally waved the trophy in her hands beside Caroline to irk her. Her efforts were in vain because Caroline wasn't affected in the least and simply looked at the camera. Multiple clicks sounded from the camera. The photographer took a great many shot

Caroline clicked on the comments section to see rows of compliments. "Wow! Layla's design is so pretty! When will the brands use this design for their packaging? I'm definitely going to buy more!""I only focus on the ingredients of the products, but this design is simply gorgeous. If they use her design, I'd be the first to grab one!""Back then, I thought that the Evans family only had one daughter, Caroline. Who knew that they had another one called Layla? She even won the first prize, yet Caroline only got second. It seems to me that Layla is better than Caroline.""Eddy Morrison's taste says it all.""Yep, we're so far behind compared to her. Eddy Morrison's choice could never go wrong! Even though the Morrisons haven't made an official announcement about their relationship yet, we've seen pictures of him going out to meet Layla.""The thing is that Layla completed this design even though she's sick! Caroline can't even be compared to a patient. She must've gone mad from th

An hour later, Charles arrived downstairs in a hurry. He stood before Kirk and greeted him respectfully, saying, "Mr. Morrison." Kirk tossed the USB flash drive over to Charles, who inserted the flash drive into his computer and opened it, only to find only one file. He clicked on it to find the winning design draft as well as several unfinished sketches. From these sketches, he could see the step-by-step process of the model's development.Charles looked at Kirk, puzzled.Kirk explained, "These are Caroline's sketches. Every time she finishes one, she'll upload it to her laptop."Charles opened the last sketch, which happened to be the final draft. It was precisely the same as Layla's. He understood the situation immediately. "So … the winner copied Mrs. Morrison's design? No … the brushwork is the same. This is the original draft!"So, Layla had stolen Caroline's work and submitted it as her own!Kirk's gaze was stormy. It was hard to tell what he was feeling at the moment

After Caroline washed up, she went downstairs to make breakfast. As she put the plates on the table, she was thinking about how to ask Kirk what he'd meant by not wanting to be friends. However, when she looked up and saw him, her mind went blank.Kirk had changed into a casual outfit, lacking his usual upper-class style. He looked more relaxed and carefree. "What are we eating today?" he asked, pulling out a chair and sitting down at the table.Caroline hurriedly looked away, her heart beating wildly like a deer in headlights. For a moment, she felt like they were acting like an old married couple. She answered, "Pasta. Let me get some for you.""I'll get it myself," Kirk responded, walking into the kitchen.Caroline stood where she was, watching Kirk put some pasta on his plate with swift movements. Then, he said, "We'll meet my dad in a few days."Caroline was surprised. "Is your father that anxious to meet me?"It might take several days to get to the bottom of the is

Hence, Gwen had started going out with Sean for food whenever she was free. They were just going for food; there was nothing more to it than that."No."Sean smiled gracefully, asking, "What can I do for you?""Carol is getting hate online." Gwen briefly told Sean the whole story. "Didn't Kirk just come back from a business trip? Ask him to stay home, keep Caroline company, and tell him not to fool around with someone else." She didn't want Caroline to get into even more trouble.Sean asked, "Since when has Kirk fooled around?""Don't think I haven't noticed. Carol has seen it with her own eyes." Gwen was annoyed. She liked handsome guys, but she only dated one at a time. She would never two-time someone."When did this happen?" Sean asked. He didn't know his friend was such a philanderer."When Caroline brought me supper that day." Gwen didn't tell him who Kirk had been with that night. She continued, "I have to go. I'm having a meeting. At any rate, just remember to tell

As soon as the organizers announced this, it caused a media storm."So, does it mean that Layla's design is actually Caroline's? Layla plagiarized Caroline's work?""I don't think things are that simple. The organizers allegedly received the complete design process of one of Caroline's designs. It looked exactly like Layla's. Some people suspect that Layla stole Caroline's design and submitted it as her own.""There's no way that's possible. Only an idiot would do that. At any rate, I don't believe it. Did Caroline buy off the organizers? Hurry, Layla! Show some evidence to prove them wrong!""I also think that Caroline bought off the organizers. She must be jealous of Layla, so she bribed them, telling them she's the original designer.""Speaking as a design enthusiast, the concepts of the two designs are completely different. The winning design emphasizes the packaging's aesthetic, while the runner-up's design focuses more on marketing value, which is a more mature approach. A v

Caroline looked up at Kirk, who was looking at his tablet on the couch. Then, she took another look at the design sketches in the organizer's post."It was you …" Caroline got up.When Kirk heard her voice, he looked up at her. He asked, "What's wrong?""You're the one who gave the evidence to the organizers overnight, right?" Caroline choked up, feeling emotional."Yes," Kirk answered honestly.Having mixed feelings, Caroline asked, "And you asked Mr. Strauss to post those photos?"Kirk silently looked at Caroline, confirming her claims.Caroline didn't know what to say. She didn't know how to thank him for helping her. If it weren't for Brie standing between them, maybe she would reconsider their agreement.Her phone rang, interrupting Caroline's thoughts. She glanced at it to see that Gwen was calling her.Gwen was incoherent with excitement. "Carol, did you already know this was going to happen?" After her meeting, Gwen had rushed to log into her Facebook account, planni

Caroline called Gwen insane in response to her claims before hanging up the phone. Just as she put down her phone, she got another call from an unknown number. She answered the call after a moment's hesitation. "Hello?""Hello. Is this Caroline Evans?""Yes.""I'm Jules Hawkins, the newly appointed CEO of Thorne Industries. First, I hope you accept our sincerest apologies for our major mistake during the judging process." The CEO himself had apologized to her. Their standards were high."It's all good as long as the truth is out.""Thank you for your understanding," Jules said in a charming voice. "After some discussion, our company has unanimously decided that you're both the winner and the runner-up of this competition. So, you'll get the winnings and prizes for both places. "Just as we'd announced, there's a special bonus for the winner: a lifetime contract as the design director at our company. Are you interested in our offer, Ms. Evans?"Caroline's breath got caught.
