Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 486

Chapter 486:

Derek’s eyes gleamed with surprise. Norah still had feelings for him? He gazed at Norah with a blank expression.

Was she truly not over him?

Standing solitary on the stage, Madeline gripped the microphone tightly, feeling a sense of mockery looming in

her ears. How humiliating it was for a designer to struggle with articulating her own design concepts!

“Are you at a loss for words?”

Norah extended her hand, lifting Madeline's design sketch. “Your design bears a resemblance to one | previously

created.”

Coldly, she tossed the sketch in front of Madeline. “You're audacious to present a plagiarized design in this

competition.”

Norah's words left everyone stunned.

“What? Her work was copied. Did she steal Noelle’s design?”

“Oh my goodness! This is unbelievable!”

“So that’s why Noelle was furious. It appears she recognized her own design.”

“Madeline brought this upon herself. If she receives an award for plagiarism, I'll be outraged! Thankfully, she was

exposed! I'm siding with Noelle!”

Even the other judges were taken aback. They hadn't anticipated plagiarism in an international competition. This

would jeopardize the contestant’s standing in the fashion design community.

Kathy rose from her seat in astonishment. “No, that’s impossible. Madeline couldn't have committed plagiarism.”

It suddenly dawned on her that, upon moving into Derek's villa, she had observed Madeline's works, noticing a

distinct difference from those in the past. The change in style occurred right before the beginning of the final.

With these thoughts in mind, she settled back into her seat with a hint of doubt. “Even if Madeline drew

inspiration from other designs, she wouldn't have plagiarized Norah's work! None of us were aware that Norah

had skills in clothing design.”

Derek observed Madeline's red eyes, feeling a pang of empathy.

“Are you suggesting that Norah is intentionally creating problems for Madeline?”

“Absolutely! Madeline's design is distinctive. How could Norah assert that it belongs to her?”

Madeline fixed Norah with a determined gaze. “I refuse to accept your slander. The design is mine. Just because

you're Noelle, do we all have to believe it’s yours? I'm merely an obscure designer, should | be overshadowed by

a renowned designer? Why should that be?”

Her strong rebuttal caused a moment of hesitation among the attendees in the exhibition hall.
