RankNovelNikolai responded calmly, “We found out that the design draft you sent was actually a copy of Stella's work.
Christie can’t wear a wedding dress like that to promote her new play.
“No, no, that’s not true!” Devyn felt a chill.
She tried to refute, “I created that design myself!”
Before she could argue, Nikolai said plainly, “I'm sorry.
Stella senta detailed aurecording, proving her work’s originality.
Even if you deny it, the truth’s out.
Devyn felt utterly hopeless.
She realized there was no turning the situation around.
Recently, she had been receiving a lot of compliments and had almost forgotten that those praises weren't
rightfully hers.

“I understand.
” Devyn stopped lying to herself.
She chuckled ruefully and admitted, “You're right.
I'm not as talented as Stella.
She covered her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks.
She admitted defeat.
She confessed Slater was correct.
She got the design drafts from Stella, who trusted her.
When Stella turned against her, she had no way to fight back.

Devyn suspected that Karson had done something to distress Maureen, so she was infuriated.
“Mom has been ill for so long.
What have you been doing? I'm trying to cover her medical expenses and look after her.
