A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Jack was sat on the other side of the contestants. His arms were folded and the corners of his mouth were tilted upwards, as if he were enjoying the mess unfolding right in front of his eyes.

'Emily, you are nothing without me. You won't be able to tackle this situation all by yourself.'

The audience were quickly asked to make way by security guards in an orderly manner. One of the judges asked Rose and Emily to come to the central stage; he was biased against Emily since the scales in his mind had already tipped towards Rose.

"Ms. Emily, do you have anything to say?" asked the judge.

"Yes!"

Before she proceeded to talk, Emily took a glance at Victor and saw him sitting there with a blank look on his face. She then searched the seats for the honorary guests and found Jacob with the same emotionless look on his face as well. 'Am I a plagiarist in their eyes?' she wondered.

The eyes of the public were all fixated on Emily. She could not wait any longer to prove her innocence. Emily was willing to fight for her innocence! She wasn't going to bend her knee to the false accusations and defamation!

Emily took a deep breath to calm herself and then turned to Rose. In a cold voice she asked, "Ms. Rose, are you sure you are the designer of this brooch?"

Pleased by the success of her plans, Rose restrained her emotions and answered confidently, "Of course. I could tell everyone here about the details of my design and how I finally came up with this idea. Mr. Anderson can vouch for me. Admit it, Emily. Do not take the hard way..."

She even gave Emily a "sincere" advice, "not to take the hard way"!

'How kind-hearted and merciful Rose is!' the audience thought, 'and that Emily...impenitent...what a shame!'

Emily stared at the smug look on Rose's face and thought that Rose was being ridiculous, "I can also tell you about the details of the design and the intricate ideas within it. Can you really prove how you've come up with this design?

A guarantee from Mr. Anderson? Is that all?"
