Nadia just wanted to build a career alongside Quinn."How could you possibly leave me out of this? This venue is my first investment!" Quinn laughed."You're right. Thanks. My boss is indeed generous. Do you need me to offer myself to you, boss? If you do, I can even reconsider my orientation," Nadia joked."No need for that. I still prefer sleeping with men." Quinn was just joking, but Xavier overheard her remark."Well, I'm the better option, of course," Xavier said shamelessly.Both Quinn and Nadia exchanged exasperated glances. How could he be so brazen about it?But then again, that was just Xavier. He always prided himself on having slept with Quinn.The graduation showcase was set to begin at 7:00 pm, and it was already 6:00 pm. Nadia had ordered plenty of boxed meals for everyone."Sorry, everyone! We'll have a nice meal after the show, but for now, this is all we've got," she announced.Both Xavier and Ian held high positions and typically never resorted to eating box
The first model to walk the runway was quite well-known at the design school.As soon as she appeared, all eyes were drawn to her.Someone couldn't help but shout, "You look stunning, Giselle!""Honestly, I never realized Nadia was such a talented designer. She was always following Logan around," another student remarked."I used to think she was just riding on Logan's coattails, but it's clear now that her designs are far better than his," came another voice.One by one, beautifully proportioned models graced the runway. Each of them showcased designs that Nadia had spent countless sleepless nights perfecting.At that moment, seeing her creations come to life in front of an audience felt truly magical.Becoming an outstanding designer had always been Nadia's dream, and today was the closest she had ever been to realizing it.Nadia felt a whirlwind of emotions. She was unsure of how to articulate them.Each model's entrance garnered thunderous applause.The audience consisted
Quinn stepped onto the runway, and she was clad in four-inch heels. The dress looked even more stunning once she put it on.Without a smile, she exuded an air of cool sophistication.Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, and her makeup was impeccably done. It complemented her outfit perfectly.Every curve of her body was flawless. She embodied the ideal figure.As she made her entrance, Xavier's gaze was fixed on her.This was the first time he had seen Quinn in this dress with her makeup done, and she took his breath away.At that moment, she was walking directly toward him.All he could see was her."Wow, that dress is incredible! Compared to the previous designs, this one is truly made for the model," someone in the audience exclaimed."You're right. The dress perfectly captures the model's ethereal elegance.""I think it's more than just elegance. There's something intriguing about her, something that draws you in.""Yes! That dress suits her so well."Quinn always
Nadia was completely caught off guard by Logan's sudden arrival.Why was he here? Hadn't they already ended things on the worst of terms?Quinn noticed Logan too. From the look in his eyes, it was clear he came to stir up trouble."Get him thrown out," she instructed. She wasn't about to let anyone ruin Nadia's show.However, it was too late. Logan charged onto the stage while completely disregarding everything else.Nadia froze as she was startled by his aggressive entrance. What was he trying to do?"How can you be so shameless, Nadia? All of your designs are plagiarized from mine!" Logan accused loudly.He didn't think Nadia deserved any of these praises.Earlier, Logan had received a call from a potential investor he had been courting. They informed him that they were pulling out of the deal.He asked for a reason, and they told him that they wanted to collaborate with Nadia instead. They claimed her designs were what they truly desired.Logan had worked so hard for this
Logan started to rile up the audience.There were plenty of reporters and media influencers at today's show. With how successful the event had been, online viewership was soaring.Now, with the accusation of plagiarism floating around, the topic had already hit the trending list.If things weren't handled well, Nadia's entire career could be ruined.The audience didn't know whom to believe. After all, there was no concrete evidence on either side."Logan, accusations like this need proof. You're just spouting nonsense," Ian said through gritted teeth.If he had known this would happen, he would have taken care of Logan earlier. That would have been better than letting him come here and spout nonsense."So, just because I don't have evidence, I'm supposed to accept being plagiarized?" Logan retorted.He was feeling triumphant.Nadia must've been riding high earlier. She must be in a world of pain now that she had fallen from that pedestal.If he couldn't have success, Nadia wo
Seeing Logan's arrogant demeanor, Ian could no longer hold back. He stepped forward and grabbed Logan by the collar."Don't push it, Logan. Are you really ready to throw your life away in this circle?" At just 19, Ian's presence was intimidating."You've cut off all my paths. How am I supposed to survive now? You just want to see me on my knees begging for mercy, don't you? Well, I won't give you that satisfaction. Even if it costs me my life, I'll drag her down with me."Go ahead and hit me! Aren't you itching to throw a punch? Come on. Punch me right here." Logan had an insufferably smug demeanor."You…"There were many reporters present. Ian was genuinely furious and was on the brink of throwing a punch.Fortunately, Nadia grabbed his arm and stopped him from escalating the situation. "Stop it, Ian. Fighting won't solve anything. This guy is beyond redemption.""Ms. Sullivan, what do you have to say about Mr. Wallace's accusations? Did you really plagiarize?""Ms. Sullivan,
The online uproar had reached a fever pitch.In the venue, many people were already pointing fingers at Quinn."Ms. Jowell, even if you're the president of Four Seasons Incorporated and wealthy, that doesn't give you the right to bully others like this!""Exactly! We're all right here! If they're this brazen now, what would happen if we weren't around? They'd trample over Logan!"Xavier frowned. What was wrong with these people? How could they display such hostility toward Nadia and Quinn when no evidence had emerged since the incident began?Xavier took Quinn's hand. "Let me handle this." His methods were always the quickest.However, Quinn shook her head. "No, Nads has worked too hard for this show. I won't let anyone ruin her efforts."Nadia's achievements today were all her own hard work, and nobody should be allowed to tarnish that."Logan, you claim Nadia plagiarized, but you have no evidence. However, I do have proof of your plagiarism."She had been fiddling with her p
"Am I being too kind to you? This is your design, you say? Go out there and tell everyone I plagiarized your work, then! Do you really think anyone would believe you? I like your work because I acknowledge your talent in design, so stop making a scene," Logan said in the video.The young lady was pushed to the ground. At that moment, the sky opened up, and it started to pour. She pounded her fists on the ground.She thought she had found love, but Logan had never cared for her at all. He had only wanted her design from the very start.How could someone be so cruel?A murmur of shock swept through the crowd.Logan accused Nadia of plagiarism, yet he had no evidence. But now, Logan's own guilt was undeniable."Do you all want to know what happened to the young lady who was deceived out of both her love and her designs?" Quinn asked.All eyes turned back to her, and she played another video.This time, it showed news of that young lady jumping off a building.Such a young, innoce
