Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 415

“Yes, how could this even happen?”

All eleven judges started whispering among themselves, trying to make sense of it.

“Miss L, what’s your take on this?” someone finally asked.

With no real evidence, they couldn’t just accuse anyone of copying. It was a serious thing to say.

“Jenny’s design matches her original sketch perfectly,” Lydia pointed out. “But Sierra’s… well, maybe we should ask her what’s going on.”

The head judge nodded and signaled the host. Soon, Sierra was invited back onto the stage.

“Can you explain why your finished piece doesn’t match your original design? And why does it look so much like Jenny’s?” one of the judges asked.

Sierra’s heart was pounding, but she tried her best to keep her voice steady.

“Judges, this is what my design was meant to look like. I just didn’t have enough materials, so I couldn’t show every detail. If I’d had more time, I promise I could have done it perfectly.”

“But even with limited materials, your work looks almost identical to Jenny’s,” another judge said. “If you can’t prove otherwise, this could count as plagiarism.”

That word made Sierra’s blood run cold. If they decided she was guilty of copying, her career would be over before it even started.

She hadn’t expected the competition to be so strict. Two hours just wasn’t enough time for her to show all the changes she’d made. Yes, her design was inspired by Jenny’s, but she’d worked hard to make it her own. Still, time was against her. How was she supposed to explain that now?
