?Chapter 488:


    Norah shattered what little confidence Madeline had left, asserting, “Why am I so certain? Because this is my creation. Even if tasked to recreate it now, I’m capable of doing so.”


    Norah exuded self-assurance.


    While Madeline disyed vulnerability in seeking sympathy, Norah garnered recognition from many due to her confidence.


    “She ought to be disqualified! Absolutely!”


    “Expel her!”


    “Out with her! Out with her!”


    Tears welled in Madeline’s eyes as she spoke, “Miss Wilson, are you using me merely because I’m with Derek now? The design is my creation. Ibored over it all night. I don’t understand why you im it as yours.” Madeline wiped away her tears, her solitary figure appearing especially forlorn.


    “Derek and I share a deep love. You two are no longer together. Why are you treating me this way?” She gazed at the audience with tear-filled eyes and dered, “A clear conscience fears no usation. The truth wille to light. I have no further words.” With a bitter smile, she added, “You’ve ruined my career. Miss Wilson, are you content now?”


    Norah extended her hand to halt Madeline. “rify the situation.”


    “Is there a history between them? What’s the connection?”


    L?t?st chαpt?rs ιn g??l??ovе???.????


    “Haven’t you grasped the situation? Madeline became involved with Noelle’s ex. I’m not sure if she was the other woman.”


    “Hold on. I’m familiar with them. Madeline pursued Derek Carter while he was still married. Later, Derek divorced Norah Wilson and started a rtionship with Madeline. Now, their wedding is approaching.”


    “Oh, splendid! If I were Noelle, I’d hand Madeline a harsh punishment. It’s better if I confront her physically, or I’d be furious.”


    “Shh, this is unexpected. It’s intriguing.”


    Norah pursed her lips, attentively listening to the murmurs in the audience.


    “Madeline, you stole my design yet you im I’m defaming you. The proof is right here. If you didn’t giarize, present your evidence. Moreover, your personal affairs with Derek Carter are irrelevant to me.”


    The host whispered a reminder, “Miss Noelle, this is live.”


    Norah withdrew her hand, stating icily, “Madeline Powell is disqualified from thepetition due to cheating. I’ll present the evidence to the organizers. Madeline, I await your evidence.”


    A cold nce from Norah sent shivers down Madeline’s spine.
