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
Logan continued to struggle on the ground, but the crowd merely watched him with cold indifference.This guy was truly despicable. He specifically targeted naive young women and ruined their lives. And those young women he deceived were truly talented.At that moment, the family of the lady who had taken her life rushed in after seeing the trending news."Logan Wallace, you murderer! You killed my daughter!"The lady's parents and relatives launched into a furious attack. They kicked and punched Logan as he lay on the ground.They had worked so hard to raise their daughter. Only they knew how much they spent on nurturing her talent for her to attend a design school.But now, thanks to this monster, she was gone before she could even shine.Others in the crowd looked on. Anyone could understand why the victim's family would react so violently.The spectators felt a collective sorrow for the young lady. How hopeless must she have felt to choose such a tragic end?Someone must ha
Nadia felt utterly exhausted after the whirlwind of the day. Thankfully, the outcome had been positive."Quinny, I'm so glad I had you by my side. If it weren't for you all, I would have completely broken down like that girl."The feeling of being wronged was terrible. Only those who had experienced the sense of powerlessness could truly understand.Quinn wrapped her arm around Nadia's shoulder."You wouldn't, Nads. You're always strong. Even without me, you would have handled this situation just fine."As Nadia's best friend, Quinn couldn't bear to see her go through such pain. She hoped Nadia would never have to experience that kind of suffering."It might not be all bad, though. At least your brand is getting a lot of attention now," Xavier chimed in. He was seeing it from a different angle."Great designer, you'd better prepare yourself. You're famous now," Quinn joked."By the way, Quinny, are you really going to invest in my brand?""Why would I joke about this? Just go
Listening to music and sipping on drinks was the perfect way to unwind, and Nadia loved this atmosphere.Quinn gave a quick glance at the stage, where the young singer had just looked their way. Their eyes met.Meanwhile, Nadia quickly fell silent. Xavier's intense gaze was somewhat intimidating.This really wasn't a big deal—many young women frequented this place."What do you think of him?" he asked Quinn. He was curious if she was also attracted to this type of guy.Quinn didn't bother responding to his pointless question. "Let's find a spot over there."She felt exhausted today and just wanted to relax with a drink. She did not want to think about anything else.She found a spot to sit down, and the other three joined her.Ian couldn't stop staring at the singer on stage. He didn't think he was any less attractive. Moreover, he could sing too."Nadia, do you like guys who can sing?" he asked suddenly.Nadia nodded enthusiastically. "His voice is amazing! Plus, who doesn't
