The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 640 - Chapter 640 0630 Delisted

Chapter 640: 0630 Delisted Chapter 640: 0630 Delisted “We have already understood the course of events, but Miss Su, don’t you think that how you acted today was overbearing? We did not pursue your responsibility for plagiarism five years ago, because we believed that you would recognize your mistakes and make an earnest effort to change. That’s why we gave you another chance to participate in the competition.

However, it seems now that not only have you not taken the right path after going astray, but you have become even more brazen, showing no shame or remorse as a plagiarist, even going so far as to assault the person you plagiarized from. With such character and behavior, forgive us but the International Fashion Association really cannot commend you!”

Song Guan spoke with a righteous and condemning tone, looking like a hero who eradicates evil on behalf of the people.

Others too were influenced by his words and began voicing their indignation one after another.

“Since the host of the event has said so much, there must be solid proof. They wouldn’t just make baseless accusations.”

“How shameless, seeing her so calm and confident just now, I almost believed her, who would have thought…”

“Hmph, Director Song has made himself quite clear, how can you remain so shamelessly in this place? Don’t you have any sense of decency?”

At this moment, everyone became advocates of justice, collectively condemning Su Ran, the ‘plagiarist’.”

Su Xinyan’s lips curled into a smug smile, her eyes filled with undisguised malice and satisfaction as she looked at Su Ran!

The judges nearby, upon hearing the crowd’s unanimous criticism of Su Ran, finally could not hold back any longer.

“What are you talking about? What evidence do you have that proves Miss Su plagiarized that woman’s work?”

As soon as someone stood up to speak, Su Xinyan immediately frowned.

Why did these judges trust Su Ran so much?

How dare they even question what Song Guan had said?

Hearing someone contradicting him, Song Guan’s face immediately turned sour.

Others may flatter these judges, but not him!

What’s so great about being a judge?

He is a Director of the International Fashion Association, and one of the organizers of this competition.

In front of the organizer, these judges have no right to speak.

He glanced at the person dismissively and said with arrogance and disdain:

“Evidence? Everybody in Hua Country knows about her plagiarism from five years ago, ask anyone randomly and they’ll know the shameful things she has done. If you still think the evidence is insufficient… then how about these two similar manuscripts in my hand? Or would Edward like to see for yourself?”

Edward’s face paled, “This can’t be, Heart’s design may be perfect, but R…”

“Edward!”

Several people spoke out at once, interrupting what Edward was about to say.

Edward turned around, only to see the other judges shaking their heads subtly at him, while Su Ran smiled and raised her eyebrows.

He caught on immediately and swallowed his words.

One of the judges moved closer to Su Ran and whispered deliberately in a lower voice.

“Don’t worry, we won’t reveal your identity so easily!”

“Yes, surprises are best announced when they are most anticipated, that makes them all the more surprising!”

The person said this, glanced at Su Xinyan, and then silently added another phrase, “And it will be all the more satisfying to slap her in the face!”

“Not just that, there is also a mysterious gift at the end of the award ceremony!”

Su Ran looked bewildered at the judges.

Song Guan, seeing the judges whispering to each other, didn’t mind. His purpose today was to knock down this ignorant newcomer into the dust.

Aside from fulfilling Su Xinyan’s request, it was also about the provocation he had faced during the national selection back home.

It was time for her to pay the price for her stupidity!

Song Guan’s eyes sharpened as he once again filled his face with authority and righteousness and spoke to Su Ran:

“Regarding competitor Su Ran’s unrepentant and arrogant attitude, and for physically assaulting the victim, I, on behalf of the International Fashion Association, hereby disqualify Miss Su Ran from the competition, and at the same time–

The International Fashion Association also firmly disallows participants who engage in ‘plagiarism’, ‘piracy’, or ‘indecent conduct’ to appear and thus influence the atmosphere of the fashion world.

We hope everyone takes this as a warning, and as a role model, let us unite and resist such people, to return purity to the fashion industry and the public!”

“Good!”

“Director Song has spoken well!”

Song Guan’s words echoed throughout the room, garnering unanimous support, so the condemnation of Su Ran grew even stronger, urging her to leave this sacred and much-anticipated place.

Su Xinyan stood slightly to the side, her face full of taunts and mockery directed at Su Ran.

Just as she had begun to reveal a trace of a victorious smile–

“When did Director Song become the representative of the International Fashion Association?!”

A hearty yet somewhat oppressive voice rang out, like the beating of drums, striking one’s heart.

Hearing this familiar voice, Su Ran’s eyes glimmered faintly, with a flash of light in their depths.

As the crowd looked towards the source, they saw a foreign gentleman in a suit, suave and debonair, walking slowly forward with a look of profound meaning on his face.

“Who is that?”

“Don’t know him!”

When Su Xinyan saw the foreign man, a hint of doubt flashed through her eyes.

Isn’t he one of the judges from the final competition?

She remembered that his name seemed to be Gael and that he hadn’t been very friendly towards Su Ran!

Meanwhile, Song Guan, upon seeing Gael, was a picture of excitement and exhilaration.

Without hesitating, he quickly strode up to Gael and, before all eyes, bowed respectfully yet cautiously.

“President!”

These two words stunned everyone, nearly leaving them speechless with shock.

“What? President?!”

“The President of the International Fashion Association? The leading decision-maker of the World Designers Competition?”

“The foremost person under Queen Nefertiti, my god…”

“In all my years, I never thought I’d see the President himself!”

Gael looked at Song Guan, who was respectfully bowing to him, and although he smiled, the emotion in his eyes was detached and cold.

Su Xinyan, upon hearing Gael’s identity, wore a face full of disbelief.

Then, she was overtaken by intense excitement and exhilaration.

With a slight turn of her eyes, she smiled and approached, coming to Song Guan’s side.

“Director Song, this gentleman is…?”

Song Guan snapped out of it and quickly, somewhat delightedly, introduced her to Gael:

“President, let me introduce you. This is the design world’s rising superstar–Heart, and she’s a talent I have great confidence in. She…”

Before Song Guan could finish his introduction, he saw Gael’s gaze come to rest on someone not too far ahead, before his eyes suddenly sparkled brightly.

He directly ignored the two before him and walked forward with a loud, cheerful laugh.

Everyone was stunned!

Then, they watched him spread his arms wide and embrace Su Ran, who was smiling radiantly, in a polite hug.

“It’s been a while, Gael!”

“Oh, my dear, I’ve finally awaited your arrival!”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Everyone’s jaws dropped, and they stood frozen in place.

“What… what is going on here?”

“Does that woman actually know the President of the International Fashion Association?”

“And they seem to be on very good terms!”

“This I really don’t understand. If someone knows the President, do they still need to plagiarize?”

“Could it be that there has indeed been some misunderstanding?”

“…”

After the two politely embraced, the smile stayed on Gael’s face.
