Chapter 893: Meanwhile, guests at Willa's wedding, noticing the live broadcast online, began whispering to each other.
"What's going on here?" "Can a haute couture dress really clash like this?" "Is this just a blatant copy?" The guests continued to gossip in hushed voices.

Willa's assistant leaned in and whispered, "Your dress is exactly like Leah's!" Willa's gaze was icy and piercing as she turned to look at her assistant. She paused for a moment, then shifted her focus to Corrine in the crowd. A subtle shift in her expression betrayed the cold anger building inside her.
Karina, sitting in the crowd, sensed that something was wrong. She immediately pulled out her phone. A headline about Leah and Bruce's engagement caught her eye. She scrolled through the details without much reaction, but when she saw Leah's dress, her face tightened. "Corrine!" Corrine had also pulled out her phone, but she was slower to notice the issue. She tilted her head and glanced at Karina's screen. When she saw the dress in the video, her eyes darkened, and a cold glint sparked in them.
"What's going on here?" Karina muttered, biting her lip as she gripped her phone. "How did your design end up with Adalynn?" Karina always kept Corrine's sketches locked away, guarded like treasures. There was no way they could have leaked out. Besides, everyone at the stuhad worked there for years. No one would risk betraying her over something so small.
So how could Adalynn's design look almost exactly like Corrine's latest? It wasn't exactly the same. The differences weren't just in the details of the work. Adalynn's design, though stunning, was missing something vital. In short, it was similar in shape, but it lacked the heart of Corrine's original idea.

Karina winced, feeling a pang of guilt. Just moments ago, she had confidently denied any involvement, but now it seemed she was responsible.

Not long after, the stuissued a statement. "Our designer, Corrine, was asked by Willa to create a wedding dress. After many changes and revisions, the final design was completed. However, we've found that Adalynn's dress looks almost identical, to the point of being plagiarism. We demand an apology from Adalynn and call on everyone to support originality and stand against plagiarism."
Once the statement was released, the comment section erupted. "Who do these nobodies think they are, accusing Adalynn?"
"I've seen sbold people, but this is next level. They'll do anything attention"
