Chapter 10 She pointed at Rita and shouted , " I object ! Mr. Chairman , esteemed judges , the champion , Ms. Lamont , is not qualified to win this award - she's a plagiarist . Three years ago , she was shunned by the industry for stealing my work . Someone like her doesn't deserve to stand here . " The room erupted in chaos ! Reporters turned their cameras on Rita in an instant . Edgar's brow furrowed , his gaze at Rita now tinged with doubt . Rita's whole body tensed . I felt her anxiety and squeezed her hand tightly . The chairman of the judges looked at Rita gravely . " Ms. Lamont , do you have anything to say about this accusation ? " Everyone expected Rita to panic , to start defending herself . But Rita simply took a deep breath , released my hand , and walked calmly to the podium . Her eyes swept over the crowd , and finally stopped on Natalia's ghostly pale face . " Ms. Neville is accusing me of plagiarism ? " Rita's voice rang out through the microphone , clear and steady . " Perfect . I've been meaning to address the so - called ' plagiarism incident ' from three years ago . I have something I'd like everyone to see . " She held up a USB drive , signaling to the staff to play its contents . On the big screen , a series of evidence appeared . There were scans of her original design sketches , all dated well before Natalia's claimed creation date . There was footage from a café's security camera , showing Natalia secretly flipping through Rita's forgotten sketchbook . And there was even an audio recording - Natalia bragging to someone about how she " borrowed " Rita's design and rushed to register it first . The evidence was undeniable . 0.00 % 09:32 pared wody ** they pay dow The pyet twee www gw Yat de huge det rubbers cat w * w * w* w * " fiw gewy) .

Seeing you so full of regret now just makes me laugh - it's pathetic . " Take your little manipulator and get out of my life . " Without another glance , Rita turned and walked off the stage , head held high . With everyone watching , she came straight to me , her face lit up with true , dazzling relief . She reached out her hand . " Ella , let's go home . " Smiling , I took her hand , holding it tight . " Yes , let's go home . " The road ahead was long , but nothing and no one could ever bring us down again . 86.77 %
