With a subtle smirk, Katie directed Abel, “Assist him in entering.”
During the press conference at the hotel, the inquiries posed by journalists were notably incisive.
“Miss Foster, as this marks your inaugural prominent engagement with Arthen Entertainment, how do you intend to rectify this substantial blunder?”
“Given your distinction as a top graduate of Astraea University in Swynborough, does your academic thesis also entail instances of plagiarism?”
“How do you address the online characterization of Crescent as a mere ‘tailor shop,’ with assertions circulating that you’re merely amalgamating others’ work to pass it off as your own?”
Raegan simply listened. Then, she offered a deep bow to the audience.
“Firstly, I extend my sincerest gratitude to all of you for attending this press conference. I assure you that every finalized creation from Crescent bears my personal design. I have never delegated this responsibility, thus eliminating any possibility of plagiarism.”
Raegan’s countenance remained transparent and sincere, her response devoid of any trace of animosity, significantly altering numerous individuals’ perceptions.
Subsequently, Raegan proceeded to showcase her original designs, accompanied by timestamps denoting their creation.
“This ‘Heritage’ series originates from the early stages of my design exploration. I am grateful to Mr. Franzier of Arthen Entertainment for granting me the opportunity to boldly unveil the ‘Heritage’ series at the mid-year gala. Regarding the alleged similarities to Dream Studio’s designs…”

Elin attempted to advance, but Raegan restrained her.
With a steely glint in her eyes, Raegan inquired, “What evidence do you possess?”

The woman, exuding arrogance, asserted, “I’m an employee of Dream Studio. Your team clandestinely approached us, offering to purchase that dress at any cost. Isn’t that an attempt to destroy evidence?”
The woman proceeded to exhibit a video depicting Elin negotiating with Dream Studio’s employee under Raegan’s instruction and presented printed transaction records on oversized paper, ready for journalists to capture.
Instantly, the journalists erupted with a barrage of questions.
“Miss Foster, is this allegation accurate?”
“Why pay five times the original price for an antiquated design? Was it to conceal evidence?”
“Miss Foster…”
Journalists from different outlets asked their questions.
There was a sense among everyone present that a sudden change in the situation was imminent.
Under the intense scrutiny, Raegan remained composed as she replied, “Yes, I did arrange for the purchase of the dress, but not to destroy evidence.”
“So, are we supposed to believe you just because you say it wasn’t for that?” The woman’s intentions to stir up trouble were evident.
