"Has Ms. Darcy not reviewed these submissions?" Noella remembered the pieces she handed in. Darcy should have seen them! There’s no way Darcy would have reviewed her pieces and still allowed Oriana's submissions to go through.
Ingrid shook her head quickly. "Not yet. Ms. Darcy said she wouldn’t handle the submissions herself to avoid any bias. I collected them and submitted them together."
"Then let's show them to Ms. Darcy. These sketches, if I'm not mistaken, are mine."
Noella had submitted these pieces early to apply for course exemptions. And now, Oriana's name was on them.
Faced with such an interesting situation, Noella couldn't help but smirk.
Raising an eyebrow, Noella said, "Ingrid, as future designers, we should absolutely detest plagiarism, right? How would you feel if your designs were stolen?"
Ingrid felt as if her own creations had been snatched away! "I get it. I'll go to Ms. Darcy right now!"
With class starting in ten minutes, Ingrid couldn’t wait any longer and rushed out of the classroom towards the faculty office.
Darcy was preparing for class and looked up as Ingrid entered.
"What's the matter?"
"Ms. Darcy, Noella said these are her works. Could you take a look?"
Ms. Darcy took Ingrid's phone and scrolled through the competition entries. The more she saw, the deeper her frown became. She opened her drawer and pulled out the works Noella had submitted to her, finding several pieces that were identical, even down to the materials listed for each gemstone!
Seeing these, Darcy frowned. "They are indeed the same. Get Oriana and Noella here."
Ingrid was stunned! She hadn't expected Oriana's shocking submissions to be plagiarized from Noella's work. These pieces had dazzled everyone, making them believe they were prize-winning material. Because of these designs, Oriana had been the talk of the department recently.
Rushing back to the classroom, Ingrid solemnly called Noella and Oriana to Darcy's office.
Seeing Noella, Oriana felt a twitch in her eye. She had been deliberately avoiding Noella, hoping to steer clear of any confrontation. Glancing at Noella now, Oriana speculated that Darcy intended to address their past conflict, perhaps expecting an apology. As if!
Noella was dressed simply in a hoodie and jeans, her legs long and slender. Her hoodie bore a discreet Azure logo, clearly the latest from Master Azure. One couldn't just buy this outfit; it was said that only Master Azure's clients could reserve one!
Oriana couldn’t hide her aversion for the Schnabel family, convinced that they couldn't measure up to her esteemed scholarly lineage!
Jealous and bitter, Oriana internally rolled her eyes. Once she won the department competition and gained fame, she wouldn't have to consider Noella a rival anymore!
Thinking of her submissions, Oriana's smile twisted slightly.
