Chapter 617
Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia
Chapter 617 Hearing this, Yulia glanced at Charlotte coldly.
After staring at Charlotte for a moment, Yulia looked at Rachel, who was sitting below the stage. Yuliaâs eyes narrowed slightly, and coldness could not be concealed from her eyes. Below the stage, Mary vaguely sensed something and hurriedly turned on her phone.
What greeted Oliviaâs eyes was the news of Olivia and Louisâs engagement. Mary browsed through it expressionlessly until she saw the gown Olivia was wearing. Mary frowned. âRae-Rae!â
Rachel also picked up her phone, but her movements were not as fast as Maryâs.
Rachel lowered her eyes to look at Maryâs phone. Her gaze landed on the gown Olivia was wearing in the video. Rachel narrowed her eyes, and a cold glint appeared in her eyes.
âWhatâs going on?â Mary pursed her lips and gripped her phone tightly. âHow did Winnie know your draft design?â
Rachelâs draft design had always been kept separately by herself, so the design drawings would never be leaked.
Moreover, the staff in the studio were all old employees. They would definitely not do anything to help outsiders just for a little benefit.
In that case, how could the gown Winnie designed to be almost identical to that of Rachel?
There were two reasons to say the two gowns were almost identical. Firstly, there was a certain disparity in the craftsmanship of the two gowns. Secondly, although the gown designed by Winnie was beautiful, it lacked a little elegance.
Strictly speaking, the two gowns were just similar in form but not in nature.
Rachelâs charming eyes were filled with thoughts. After pondering for a long time, Rachel looked at Mary. âDo you remember the discarded draft design that was thrown in the cafe?â Hearing this, Mary immediately felt guilty.
Just now, Mary said confidently that they hadnât leak the draft design, but now, Rachelâs words reminded Mary that she was wrong.
Mary cleared her throat awkwardly and silently took out her phone to contact the public relations department. âIâll contact the studio immediately to handle the public relations matter!â
Soon, the studio issued a statement. âThe designer in the studio, Queen, was entrusted by Yulia Wand to design the wedding dress. After many modifications, Queen finally designed the wedding dress this time. However, we discovered that Winnie Yuleâs design is extremely similar to this wedding dress. The similarity has already constituted plagiarism. We request Winnie Yule to apologize! We also call on everyone to support the original and resist plagiarism!â
As this statement was released, the comments section instantly was filled with the publicâs opinions.
âDo you know this studio? I have never heard of it. How dare they scam Winnie?â
1/4 âIâve never seen someone as shameless as them. They even came up with such a despicable move just to gain public attention!â
âSince you said it was plagiarism, show us the evidence.â
âWithout any evidence to say it, can we sue you for spreading rumors and framing?â
âAlthough Raimant Collection has only been developing for a short period of time, it has always been sought after by domestic and foreign celebrities. Any clothes designed by Queen are very hard to buy. Please understand before saying it, anti-fans.
Thank you!â As long as Raimant Collectionâs true fans defended the brand, they would be scolded badly. âWhat bullshit hard to buy. Itâs just hunger marketing!â
âIf Queen is really as amazing as you say, why didnât she participate in the fashion competition?â
âMiss Yule is the champion of the fashion competition and a publicly acknowledged genius designer in the industry. Who do you think you are?â
Looking at the netizens who were distorting the truth in the comments section, Mary was so angry that her fingers were trembling. âBack then, I told you to participate in the fashion competition, but you refused. Now, youâre being blamed. We donât even have a way to explain!â
âYou think I need those?â Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly and clapped along with the applause around her.
Mary glared at Rachel angrily.
Mary knew that Rachel had never cared about fame and profit.
Moreover, with Rachelâs identity as the Johnson familyâs young lady, she looked down on the little fame and profit in the design industry.
Rachel did not care about Winnie who was praised as a god-like existence at all. Otherwise, with Winnieâs standards, she could never get the title of a genius designer.
âMiss Grey Charlotte walked to Rachelâs side. âMiss Wand invites you to the lounge. She has something important to discuss with you.â
Rachel glanced at Charlotte indifferently. âGot it.â
Five minutes later, Rachel arrived at the lounge.
As soon as Rachel entered, Yulia questioned coldly, âMiss Grey, shouldnât you explain to me how your draft design ended up in Winnieâs hands?â
Hearing this, Mary and Rachel were slightly stunned.
This inexplicable trust was like a sudden warm current that poured into Rachelâs heart. Rachel felt flattered and suddenly felt like she was in a dream.
Mary restrained the surprise in her eyes. âYou believe that Winnie plagiarized Rae-Rae?â
âEven a child has the ability to distinguish right from wrong.â Yulia kept enlarging the photo of Olivia in the gown. There was a hint of mockery in Yuliaâs eyes, and her tone was rather arrogant. âBesides, this gown doesnât suit her There was no doubt about that.
2/4 Since the gown was tailor-made for Yulia, its style naturally matched Yuliaâs temperament.
Now, Olivia did look beautiful in the dress. But Olivia lacked a cold and arrogant temperament. It was like a thief wearing a queenâs wedding dress. It was incongruous.
âI...â
Before Rachel could finish speaking, Charlotte barged in with a flustered expression. âMiss Wand, bad news! I donât know who leaked the photos of the wedding venue. Now, the photos of you wearing this gown are posted online. People compared you with Olivia. The comments section is in a mess.â
When the three of them in the room heard this, their faces suddenly darkened.
Rachel glanced at her phone, and her eyes turned cold.
âWhat should we do now?â Charlotte looked at Yulia, not knowing what to do.
Rachel put away her phone and said calmly, âIâm going to prove my innocence!â
With that, Rachel turned around and left.
At this moment, the paparazzi who had heard the news had already surrounded Yuliaâs wedding venue.
Ever since Yulia debuted, she had won countless awards both domestically and abroad. Coupled with the temperament Yulia had honed over the years, she had always been known by fans as Queen Wand.
Yulia had always been a superior person, but now she was involved in the center of public opinion just because of a gown. This was what the onlookers wanted to see the most.
No one wanted to miss this opportunity to embarrass Yulia. They carried their cameras and aimed at the entrance.
Seeing the situation, Rachel frowned slightly.
Mary tried to squeeze out with Rachel, but she was hit by someoneâs camera in the forehead.
âAre you alright?â Rachel looked at Mary with a frown.
Mary shook her head. âWe have to think of a way to get out of here.â
Otherwise, even if they had a plan, they would not be able to carry it out.
At this moment, a group of men in black appeared one after another. They cut the crowd in half like a sharp ax and made way for Rachel and Mary from the middle.
