Chapter 590
A violent tremor ran through Hailey. Her pupils contracted, and her breathing
hitched.
What was Daphne trying to say?
Was she accusing her of plagiarizing the master designer, Queen?
The designs she had were just some old drafts she’d found in a storage room at the Wynn family’s house. How could they possibly be connected to Queen?
Was she supposed to believe that the internationally renowned and mysterious Queen had gone to the Wynn residence, sketched a pile of designs, and just left them there?
Impossible!
If the Wynn family had the connections to know someone of Queen’s caliber, they would have been flaunting it for years. They wouldn’t be in such a miserable state. They certainly wouldn’t be fawning over Daphne, who was a tier below Queen.
Hailey swallowed hard, desperately trying to regain her composure. “Maybe maybe it’s just that great minds think alike! It was just a flash of inspiration—a pure coincidence that our ideas happened to align p>
Unless the drafts she found were genuinely Queen’s work, no one could produce concrete evidence to prove she plagiarized!
And how could drafts found in the Wynn family’s storage room possibly be designed by Queen herself?
Therefore, as long as she didn’t admit it, no one could do anything to her!
“Is that so?” Daphne scoffed, a trace of mockery appearing on her stern, cold face. “Then, Contestant Number Four, perhaps you can explain why your ‘flash of inspiration’ not only coincided with my mentor’s style but also managed to replicate her brushwork and detailing, down to the last stroke p>
Hailey was stunned.
What brushwork? What details?
How could they be identical to Queen’s?
Hailey stood frozen, forgetting to immediately retort, just staring blankly at Daphne. Daphne tapped her screen a few more times.
On the main display, Hailey’s magnified design draft was enlarged even further.
As Daphne zoomed in on one
section after another, she pointed out several specific details. She explained how certain techniques and the very strokes of the pen were similar, or even identical to Queen’s signature habits.
Then, she pulled up some of Queen’s past design drafts, placing them side-by-side for a more profound comparison.
As Daphne meticulously detailed the similarities and contrasted them with Queen’s work, even the laypeople in the audience began to see it.
Hailey staggered back a few steps, her face ashen as she stared at the side-by-side comparison of her design and Queen’s on the screen.
Her mind went completely blank.
This is impossible p>
How could this be possible?
How could those drafts have the exact same brushwork as Queen’s?
As a student in this field, she knew exactly what the name “Queen” represented. She was the symbol of Flyndor jewelry She was the gold standard, a legend whom every designer in Elyndor and across the globe worshipped.
There wasn’t a single designer in the world who could successfully
imitate Queen’s style! If a designer
with that kind of talent existed
wouldn’t they already be
internationally famous?
And the drafts she had found were at least two or three years old!
But no matter how much Hailey refused to believe it, the facts were right there in front of her.
She could see with her own eyes everything Daphne was pointing out.
And just at that moment, Daphne added, “Now, please begin your explanation p>
