Worried that the guests, judges, and audience had no idea what was going on, she said, “This was one of the dresses that belonged to the young miss of the Chloe family. They were still part of the royal family back then, and the father of this young girl was a prince. This young girl was known as Princess Sallie, one of the most famous princesses in Country I.”
As Jinqian spoke about it, most of the citizens from Country I knew what she was talking about.
“Princess Sallie was declared one of the most beautiful princesses in the history of Country I. Unfortunately, her life ended at the age of 18 years old. She wore this dress to the coronation, but on the same night, she was found dead inside her bedroom after slicing her wrist.
“She wrote in her suicide note that from the day she could remember things, she was told to become a qualified princess. She has been attending etiquette lessons, foreign language classes as well as general knowledge education. She was known as the goddess to all, but she never liked it. She wanted freedom. She wanted friends. She even fell in love with a boy, but her parents did not allow it. She wished to be an ordinary peasant girl so that she could run under the bright, warm sun.
“Today would be the 100th year anniversary since her death. In order to remember her dearly, Jing Jie decided to re-design her gown. The one that I wore earlier was the gown that Jing Jie designed. The meaning behind it was to rise from the ashes just like a phoenix. Princess Ranle, you designed a gown that was exactly the same as what Princess Sallie wore. May I know what the concept is? You can’t be saying that you have already designed this 100 years ago for Princess Sallie and you’re only claiming this design now. Are you going to claim that her designer copied yours 100 years ago?”
Jinqian looked at Di Ranle. The look on Di Ranle’s face was changing continuously, and a devilish smile appeared on Jinqian’s face.
Di Ranle hated this woman to the core.
There were so many gowns in the world, and she never cared about the culture of Country I. She was aware of this princess, but she had only merely heard of her. How would she know what this princess wore before she died?!
Who would have thought that Jing Jie would come up with the idea to burn the dress so that it would become an entirely new one?
Just like what Jinqian said, even if she could say that Jing Jie was the one who copied her and only modified it for the first gown.
How would she be able to defend herself now?
She couldn’t burn or change her gown. Wouldn’t this already prove that it was plagiarism?
Di Ranle’s face turned pale as she thought about it.
The audience was cheering. All of them were waiting for her to fall. None of them were on her side.
She looked at Jinqian and saw how Jinqian was looking like a vixen. Jinqian’s face had only one message written over it, ‘Does it hurt now after being slapped?’
The audience could no longer stand Di Ranle who was being a bitch. Seeing how she pretended to be weak every time she lost, they wanted Di Ranle to leave and never return to the Chloe Contest.
Di Ranle’s reputation had been smashed to pieces and stomped on the floor by Di Jinqian. This was something that hurt Lee Jiayin.
Witnessing how her precious little girl was being pushed into one corner and how the audience did not care that they were the royal family from Country B, Lee Jiayin stood up and screamed, “Jinqian! I know that you never liked us as your family, but Ranle is your elder sister after all! You are related by blood! How could you do this to her?!”
