Chapter 1243: Chapter 1243 Ironclad Evidence, She is the Plagiarist!_1

Chapter 1243

"This painting is plagiarized!" The person repeated again!

In an instant, the man who had come forward was targeted by all the cameras, clicking away.

The audience turned around one after another, looking back at that girl standing in the crowd. Her face was full of resentment, she pointed at the painting on the stage, her hand shaking slightly.

"Isn’t that Mane York? The second-prize winner!"

"What did she just say? Plagiarism? Did the first-place winner plagiarize her work?"

"No way, plagiarism? Such a thing happening at an event like this? Does Chloe Collins dare to do such a thing?"

Countless questioning voices seemed to echo.

Mane York’s lips moved slightly, she quickly walked towards the stage pulling up her skirt, she took the microphone handed over by the staff. With each word forceful and resounding, she said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, the painting you see now is derived from my work ’World of Goddess’s Imagination’ created when I was 15, by Chloe Collins through plagiarism! It’s not her original!"

"I consider this painting quite naive, hence I never exhibited it. I gave it to my teacher, and it’s still hung up in his house!"

The crowd looked at each other, and there was much discussion.

The host encountered such a situation for the first time, unsure on how to handle it.

After a while, the organizers signaled him to deal with the situation first. They also sent a representative to the stage and said, "Hello everyone, I am the representative of the organizers. My surname is Qin. I assure you that the competition will absolutely be fair. If there is any plagiarism, we will not be lenient. Please give us some time to handle this matter."

Mane York’s chest was rising and falling dramatically. She fixed her eyes on the indifferent eyes of Alexander Foster. She seemed to be speaking to the others, but she was really speaking to him, "Chloe Collins did plagiarize my work! She made slight modifications and omitted some details, but I don’t believe that makes it her own creation!"

Her determined eyes collided with the coldness in Alexander Foster’s eyes, not backing down a bit.

At this point, Jerry River, who was seated in the VIP seats, rose slowly.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am Mane York’s teacher. In those days, she gave me that painting. I cherished it a lot, so much so that I still have it. Coincidentally, I intended to take this opportunity to have all the professional teachers evaluate that piece of work. So, I’ve brought it along. Whether it’s plagiarized or not, you’d know after a glance."

Having said that, he glanced towards the side of the stage. Immediately, someone brought a large painting.

Two workers slowly unveiled it, cameras focused, and the contents of the painting then appeared on screen. The setting sun over the mountains, the rivers flowing eastward into a goddess - identical. The only difference was the portrayal of the goddess, one had her eyes open, while the other had them closed.

"Everyone, look at the signature here. The date is clearly from three years ago, whereas the work Chloe Collins submitted for this competition is a recent creation. Whether it’s plagiarized or not, I believe everyone already has an answer in their hearts."

In the judge’s seat, six judges frowned and were unwilling to speak. They encountered such a situation for the first time. They felt like they were slapped in the face and it was humiliating. Each of them wished they could immediately kick Chloe Collins out. Immediately kicked out!

Others around -

"It’s really plagiarized, this is just... I don’t know what to say. The people from Grearon have really embarrassed themselves!"

"If I were from Grearon, I would be looking for a hole to crawl into right now. They have lost face internationally."

"After all kids are just kids, when they see something good they want to copy and modify it, thinking it’s their own. Applying their style of learning here is totally unreasonable."

"What’s going to happen now? Chloe Collins is going to be disqualified right? I reckon she should apologize to the original creator. She must apologize!"
