Stella’s head shook with conviction as she firmly denied, “I might not have evidence at the moment, but I never plagiarized. Zola is the true plagiarist.”
Her words ignited a wildfire in the crowd, causing an eruption of outrage.
“What? She’s denying it? How audacious!”
“Someone must be supporting her behind the scenes, allowing her to deny without evidence.”
“The plagiarist should be disqualified! What does she think this competition is?”
Angry voices surged from the audience.
Slater’s patience wore thin.
“If you won’t admit it, how do you intend to prove your innocence?”
Just as tensions escalated, a commanding male voice cut through the turmoil.
“I can vouch for her.” Matthew stood up confidently from his seat, his voice resonating with unwavering assurance.
His statement, however, sent the discussion into overdrive.
“See, I told you! Matthew has a special connection with Stella. He’s stepping forward to defend her!”
“My judgment of Matthew was completely off. I thought he was a rational, sharp entrepreneur. I never expected him to be infatuated.”

Slater turned to Matthew, raising an eyebrow.
“Do you have any evidence?”
Without uttering a word, Matthew beckoned for Fernando.
Fernando, holding a document, handed it to Slater under Matthew’s silent directive.
The curiosity in the room reached its zenith. What exactly was Matthew about to present?
Stella, equally puzzled, turned to Matthew, who smiled at her.
