Milena''s eyes instantly went wide. She jabbed a finger at Cameron, stammering, "You... You., Cameron, you did this on purpose. 700 set me up


    Cameron shot back, "Well, who told you to be so dumb and walk right into it?"


    It wasn''t just Milena who was floored. Even Xander was frozen in shock. William and Leanne were just as stunned.


    At first, they all thought this was just a simple giarism case. But in reality, Cameron had masterminded the whole thing from the start.


    William stared at Cameron in disbelief. "Kid, what on earth is going on here?"


    Cameron exined, "Mr. Drake, she''s my adoptive parents'' daughter. Ever since we were little, she wanted to take anything that was mine away.


    "She and Xander are friends on WhatsApp, and since I used to share a dorm with Xander, she used him to dig up info about me.


    "One day, I caught Xander secretly taking pictures of my drafts, so I decided to y along. I let him snap pictures and send them to her, and I even let it slip that I was nning to submit those designs.


    "She didn''t let me down. She immediately imed my sketches as her own and submitted them under her name.


    "If I hadn''t caught Xander in the act, she would''ve stolen my real designs and passed off all my hard work as hers."


    After hearing Cameron out, William''s face turned grim as he red at Milena. "You have no shame. You''re a disgrace to Langford Academy."


    Tears rolled down Milena''s pale cheeks. "Cameron, how could you be so vicious? Are you trying to ruin me?"


    Cameron shot back, "Aren''t you the one who was vicious first? If you hadn''t tried to pull this stunt, you wouldn''t have fallen for it."


    Milena was shaking with rage. She wanted nothing more than to leap at Cameron and tear her apart.


    But Cameron was five feet nine, while she was only five feet three. Physically, Milena was no match for Cameron.


    Milena''s eyes zed with hatred as she red at Cameron.


    Leanne turned to Cameron. "So, you just said you had your real draft. Did you actually submit it?"


    Cameron nodded. "Of course."


    Leanne asked, "Can I get your name?"


    Cameron''s sketch of Eric''s work was so lifelike that when Leanne first found it among the submissions, she was stunned, and she even thought it was


    Eric''s own work.


    "C," Cameron replied.


    "What?" Leanne thought she''d misheard.


    Cameron exined, "I submitted under the name ''C.“


    Leanne instantly lit up. "So you''re C. It''s such a pleasure to finally meet you."


    The winner of the designpetition had already been decided-it was thepetitor named C.


    They had nned to announce the champion after sorting out Milena''s situation.


    Leanne never expected to run into C here and was surprised to find out C was actually a high school student.


    10:00 Wed, 4 Jun


    Thispetition was on a global scale. There were plenty of professional contestants in the mix. Leanne didn''t anticipate a high schooler wo taking the top prize.


    Leanne warmly offered her hand, and Cameron took it, replying, "Nice to meet you."


    "May I ask your name?" Leanne asked.


    Cameron replied, "Cameron Wace."


    Leanne beamed. "Mr. Wace, your work is truly outstanding."


    "Thank you." Cameron nodded.


    Leanne was momentarily at a loss for words, thinking, ''Wow, talk about a chilly response. I usually don''t hand outpliments so easily. Even Enc can''t stop raving about her works.''


    William nced at Milena, then at Leanne, and finally at the stunned Xander. "So, how are we going to handle this?"
