"What's going on here? How can the two entries be identical?"
"Yes, that's too much of a coincidence! Even the flowers on the hem of the skirt are indistinguishable!"
"What a coincidence! This is clearly plagiarism! I just don't know who actually copied!"
"It must be World that copied Court! It was Court's model who was on stage first!"
............
There was much talk from the audience and the faces of the judges did not look good.
People have subconscious preconceptions. Obviously, it was Robin who copied Freddie, but since it was Court’s
model who walked on stage first, everyone would reflexively feel that it was Freddie who copied Robin.
Among the judges on the scene, the one with the most unpleasant face would be Kieran.
His face was so dark, not because he was disappointed with the plagiarist, but because he felt that if World was
found to be plagiarized, Freya would be upset.
He felt sad that he was worried about that heartless woman.
Kieran wanted to pry his head open to see what it was filled with.
Looking at Freya and Kiki on the stage, Robin couldn't help but raise his chin in triumph as he looked sideways at
Freddie, whose face was pale, "How was it? Isn't this match today particularly interesting?"
"Robin, you are not worthy of being a designer at all!"
Robin did not take Freddie's words to heart at all, his face was a lingering smugness, "Freddie, who is not worthy of
being a designer, we will soon see! A copycat is not worthy of standing on this stage!"
Listening to Robin's unblushing words, Freddie was so angry.

Who's the copycat?
Freddie really wanted to tear up Robin's hypocritical and smug face!
After Robin said this, he stopped paying attention to Freddie as he got up from his seat and leisurely grabbed the
microphone in the host's hand.
"I have something to say!"
Robin's voice instantly silenced the noisy scene, "I want to report World’s plagiarism!"
"It is Worlds’ plagiarism?! I knew it!"
"What a shame, a direct copy and paste! How can such copycat have the face to enter the competition!"
"Exposing the copycat was a big hit!"
"Copycats should get the hell out of the design world!"
"Not only Freddie, but World should be closed for good! Get out of our sight!"
............
The voices of those people hired by Regina were extraordinarily irritated, with a look as if they could not wait to
rush on stage and tear Freddie, the copycat, by hand.
Freya and Kiki also noticed the difference on the stage, many people were shouting for them to get off the stage,
copycat don't deserve to be here. The two of them looked at each other, ignoring the clamour on the stage, step by
step, they walked the catwalk through.
Today, it is not Freddie's battle alone, they will walk with him all the way, facing all the questions, fearless of gossip,
to get justice for World, for Freddie!
"Get off! Get off!"
The curses from the stage became more and more intense. When Quinn saw that someone dared to scold his
precious Kiki, he even wanted to make a move, but thinking of her explanation, he held back his temper.
Kieran sat motionlessly in his seat, his face dark.
Several spectators behind him were cursing Freya and Kiki. When he turned his face and was swept by his ice-cold
sight, those few spectators were actually shocked into silence.
Seeing that so many people supported him, Robin's strength was even stronger as he repeated what he had just
said, "I want to report Freddie for plagiarism!"
"The Empress Dowager" is my work, and Freddie has copied my "The Empress Dowager"! He has violated the
principles of our competition and even more so the code of a costume designer. I demand that the judges give me
justice and let Freddie withdraw from the competition!"
Robin's words are resounding, as if, indeed, it was Freddie who copied his work.
"Freddie copied you?" Daniel glanced carelessly at the scoreboard in his hand, "Everything has to be proven! It's the
exact same work, and Freddie can say you copied him!"
"We won't favour anyone, nor will we wrong anyone. Robin, you say that Freddie has copied your work, can you
show proof?!" Compared to Robin, Henry appreciated Freddie's talent more, and he couldn't help but speak up.
Hearing Daniel and Henry's words, Robin did not panic in the slightest, he clutched the microphone and said word
for word, "I have proof that it was Freddie who copied my work!"
Fillip hasn't said anything, he doesn't believe that Freddie would plagiarize, but in this circle, it's really not that clean.

If, today, Robin could really produce evidence to prove that Freddie had plagiarised, no matter how innocent he
was, his life would be completely ruined.
After saying this, Robin waved his hand off stage, and his assistant immediately carried his computer to the stage.
The computer was already switched on and he connected it to the LCD screen at the tournament site and from the
large screen, he was able to see clearly what was happening on his computer.
"The Empress Dowager is a piece I designed three years ago."
As Robin spoke, he operated the computer and a number of design manuscripts with time were instantly displayed
on the large screen.
"These, all of them, are my design manuscripts, and as you can see from the time, they are my designs from three
years ago. Freddie was my classmate, we worked together, he had seen my design manuscripts and I had shared
my design ideas with him. I considered him as my best friend, I just never thought that he would steal my work!"
"Freddie, we said we'd work together to be the best fashion designer we could be! Why have you done this to win,
to become famous?!"
The time shown in the design manuscript save on the computer cannot be faked, and if Freddie cannot prove that
he had already designed "The Empress Dowager" much earlier, the stigma of his plagiarism will never be washed
away in his life!
And Robin knew in his heart that Freddie couldn't provide is any evidence because his previous design manuscripts,
even his computer had been hijacked by him!
He escaped from the basement with nothing!
He can't prove his innocence, he can only take World with him, and go to hell with him!
