Chapter 487:
It was true that Noelle accused Madeline of plagiarism, and Madeline was a relatively unknown designer. Many
were inclined to trust Noelle’s accusation; however, was it truly a case of plagiarism or simply slander?
“I joined the Grace Cup out of my passion for design, not anticipating accusations of plagiarism from a judge! |
