Chapter 61 Exuding His Charm Freely

The host received Jonathan’s instruction.

Without the slightest delay, he said, “It turns out that Rose is Ms. Flora. This flame symbol is her trademark, and it’s identical. How could it appear in Ms. Kelly’s work? The only explanation…”

He had barely uttered these words when another exceptionally pleasant voice chimed in.

“The only explanation isn’t that Rose stole Kelly’s design, but rather, Kelly stole her design…”

As the words trailed off, the owner of the voice had already taken the stage. Everyone gazed in astonishment at Ezra, who was dressed in an all–white suit. However, Ezra only had eyes for Rose.

He strolled over to her while ignoring the others and purposefully bent slightly, his handsome face coming level with hers. His amorous eyes sparkled with a mischievous charm.

“Is that so, Rose?”

Rose’s breath caught as she was taken aback by his smile. Perhaps from this surprise, a sudden dizziness overcame her. Subconsciously, she took a step back, losing her balance in an instant.

Her body teetered, and it seemed she was going to fall Just then, a long arm swiftly reached out to support her.

A low, indulgent voice sounded in her ear, “Why are you so careless?”

At this moment, Ezra resembled a fully spread peacock, exuding his charm freely. Rose’s heart quivered as she straightened up, instinctively putting some distance between them.

Ezra’s fans erupted in excitement. Nevertheless, he remained calm and provocatively smiled into the camera. In the backstage lounge, as Jonathan stared at Ezra on the screen, his expression darkened.

The cold aura surrounding him appeared to transmit to the host on stage, making him shiver. He quickly redirected everyone’s attention and focused on Kelly.

“Ms. Kelly, the person who submitted stolen designs for the competition was you, wasn’t it? Do you have an explanation?”

In an instant, all eyes filled with scorn focused on Kelly. She was already panicking, but she continued to hold her ground.

“It wasn’t me. I didn’t steal anything; it was Rose… she stole my design!”

However, her determination crumbled when confronted with the evidence.

Miles had already subjected the designs of both Rose and Kelly for the preliminary rounds and semi–finals to evaluation by judges and experts. The results were displayed on a large screen.

The brushwork style of Kelly’s designs for the finals and Rose’s designs for both preliminary rounds and semi–finals were identified as the same.

Meanwhile, Kelly’s designs for the preliminary rounds and semi–finals were far inferior to Rose’s.

“For submitting stolen designs to the competition and thus disrespecting the contest and the design industry, the contest officials and judges have unanimously decided to disqualify Kelly. As for Ms. Rose, whether it’s the couple rings or the fire opal necklace, they are all exceptional works. Ms. Rose, as the

champion of this competition, is truly deserving of the title.”

Miles’s declaration settled the matter. Applause erupted, and everyone regarded Rose with admiration. However, when their gazes landed on Kelly, they were filled with disdain and reproach.

That kind of gaze seemed as if countless thorns were piercing her. She was brimming with jealousy and resentment. She looked at Rose, who appeared pale and had even lost the strength to smile.

It was clear that she was forcing herself. At that moment, a sinister plan took shape in Kelly’s mind.

I

“I’m sorry. I was wrong…

Suddenly, she began to cry, appearing wronged.

“I shouldn’t have lied. This is my sister’s work, but I had no choice. My sister was in a coma after a car accident, and I didn’t want her hard work to go to waste. I just wanted her work to appear in the competition

This statement portrayed her as a loving and devoted sister. Rose’s lips curved into a cold smile. If she hadn’t been so weak at that moment, she would have slapped Kelly in front of everyone.

It seemed she couldn’t hold on much longer. Nevertheless, she had reclaimed her possessions. A wave of dizziness overcame her, causing her body to sway.

Ezra, who was standing nearby, was about to step forward, but Kelly was one step ahead. She supported Rose and kept the two apart.

Feigning a worried and concerned demeanor, she said, “Rose, your condition. I’ll immediately take you to the hospital.”

After saying this, she hurriedly escorted her off the stage. Ezra attempted to follow but was stopped by the host. In the backstage, everyone was preparing for the upcoming auction.

Kelly guided Rose to an empty area, finally revealing her malicious intentions.

“Rose, why did you rush in to ruin my plan?”
