Chapter 62 Plagiarism
In backstage.
Suzy looked at the thread of the dress being cut… No! It had been cut off, but it was too late to find out when it had been cut off.
The arrangement of the outfit was highly complicated. Back then, Suzy had spent a lot of effort on it.
“What should we do? We’re going to go on stage soon.” The model looked at Suzy and said, “Why don’t we give up?”
Suzy looked at the gown and shook her head.
Before the model could react, Suzy pulled hard, and the cloth at the hem of the dress was torn off. Although the broken stitches were gone, the dress was not good-looking.
Suzy looked at the model. “Scissors?”
“Ah? Here you are!”
The scissors were quickly handed over to Suzy.
Everyone watched as Suzy moved her hands up and down. She was decisive, and the dress in her hand gradually changed into a different appearance, which was even more shocking.
“You’re so awesome, Miss Carters! The dress looks even better than before.” Janet had more admiration for Suzy now.
Suzy handed the dress to the model. “Put it on quickly. Don’t delay.”
“Okay.”
When the model changed it, it was just right for her. After a performance, she amazed a lot of people. Many people sighed over the perfection of this dress, and their admiration for Suzy rose to a higher level.
Alan moved closer to Evan and whispered, “Mr. Hughes, if I remember right, Miss Carters’s gown wasn’t like this.”
“Someone has done something.” Evan narrowed his eyes.
He was staring at Teresa, who had just stepped onto the stage.
It was highly likely that what had happened earlier had something to do with her.
Teresa stuck out her chest proudly. Although she was not a model, it could be seen that she was also mighty!
She was not inferior to Suzy at all!
The appointed time had arrived, but Teresa insisted on staying on stage for a few rounds. She even deliberately stood in front of Evan and scratched her head.
Unfortunately, Evan didn’t spare her a second glance.
Alan saw the clothes on Teresa’s body and asked, “Mr. Hughes, don’t you think the clothes on her look very familiar?”
“A little.”
“Ah! I remember now. This was one of the dresses that CIRA designed a few years ago. However, Alex modified it slightly.” Alan remembered it clearly. It was one of the lovely dresses that CIRA had sold well back then.
He had not expected Alex to have plagiarized it.
Evan sneered. “Send it to Thomas.”
“Okay.”
After receiving the message, Thomas immediately called Evan. “Are you kidding me? Alex is shameless. He even plagiarized CIRA’s works from a few years ago!”
“What are your plans?” Evan asked casually.
Of course, Thomas couldn’t let him off. He immediately said, “I called the Poris Fashion Week. Isn’t Suzy there as well? She works for CIRA…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Evan cut him off. “She’s mine.”
Thomas was a little speechless. “Okay, okay, okay. I mean that she’s attending Poris Fashion Week on behalf of CIRA, so I’ll leave this matter to her. Doesn’t she have beef with the Carters family?”
Evan’s voice was indifferent. “You’ve thought it through.”
“Anyway, that’s all. I’ll hang up first.”
Thomas could tell that there was something wrong with his tone. After hanging up, he called the Poris Fashion Week and told Suzy about it.
Alex’s actions didn’t surprise Suzy in the slightest.
When the people on the stage were still performing, the organizer interrupted the show and said on the scene, “We received a notice that someone came to participate in this show with plagiarism works. Plagiarism is the shame of our industry. No matter who it is, we will never let it go!”
They looked at each other and didn’t know what was happening.
Next, the host continued, “The higher-ups said that if the persons take the initiative to admit their mistakes, we can avoid blocklisting them. Please take the initiative to admit your mistakes.”
No one came out.
Suzy stood up and walked onto the stage while everyone stared at each other.
“Could it be her?”
“She made such good designs, but they were all plagiarized?”
Suzy received the microphone. Suzy said indifferently, “you should know a person accustomed to plagiarizing in our circle. He has disappeared recently, but that doesn’t mean he won’t appear.”
That’s…?
Someone knew that and shouted under the stage, “Are you talking about Tim Ryan?”
“Yes, I recently saw that Tim and the president of ACLC are very close.” Suzy looked at the host and said, “It’s ACLC, isn’t it?”
“ACLC plagiarism?”
In the past, ACLC had made a hot dress. Although the standard of the dress had dropped sharply after that, no one would think he had plagiarism.
The host nodded in front of everyone. “It’s him.”
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
Then, what was displayed on the big screen behind her were CIRA’s dresses from a few years ago and the dress that Teresa was wearing just now. The two dresses had the same effect through different means.
Who would believe that it was not plagiarism?
“No! It’s not plagiarism!” Alex shouted. He said, “I don’t know about CIRA’s work at all.”
“Is that so?”
Suzy tilted her head and smiled faintly. “CIRA’s gown could be considered a popular model a few years ago in Somo City. Why? Aren’t you working and living there?”
Suzy’s sharp tongue made Alex want to tear her mouth apart.
“It took my people thinking about it day and night for a month to come up with this dress. From the beginning of creation until now, they have experienced many things to do such perfect works. The two dresses are similar, but you can’t deny ACLC’s painstaking efforts,” Alex said very cleverly.
Simply put, I did it with effort; they looked identical and were purely coincidental.
Suzy raised her eyebrows and said flatly, “If that’s the case, Mr. Carters, you don’t mind showing us the sketch, do you?”
“I didn’t bring it.”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“Miss Carters, do you have the sketches of the two dresses ACLC styled a few years ago?” Suzy narrowed her eyes slightly, and a sense of oppression suddenly overcame him.
Below the stage, Alan watched this scene.
He said in a low voice to Evan, “Mr. Hughes, I think that Miss Carters has gained some of your temperament after being with you for so long.”
“Aye.”
Evan’s eyes fell on the little woman who was shining on the stage, and the smile in his eyes deepened. It seemed that she didn’t need his help at this time.
It was good to let her shine alone like this.
“It’s been so long… I … haven’t.” Alex gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with a warning to Suzy. It was as if Suzy would die if she continued.
Suzy was not afraid in the slightest. She continued to interrogate, “Oh? Then what about the design philosophy?”
Alex fell silent.
“Mr. Carters, I’ll give you a chance. How about you tell me the designs of those two dresses, and then I’ll tell you mine?”
The people present were a little confused. They did not understand why Suzy would mention ACLC’s two popular dresses. Could it be…
