Mr. Grant Treats Me Like a Treasure-Chapter 242 - 241: Last-Minute Betrayal

Chapter 242: Chapter 241: Last-Minute Betrayal
The guests began to stand up, ready to leave the venue.
The show was over, and there was no need to continue the competition today.
Everyone had a clear idea of who the plagiarist was.
"Don’t leave!"
Ruth Hale saw the audience heading towards the venue’s entrance and said frantically. Standing behind her, Skylar Sinclair looked at Ruth Hale still jumping around and sneered as she prepared to leave.
"Ms. Hale, my sister is zero, she’s so powerful, would she really plagiarize my work?"
Suddenly, Zoe Quinn picked up the microphone and shouted.
This time, she was looking at Ruth Hale on stage, questioning her.
At this point, she had to protect her last shred of reputation in front of everyone. It wasn’t Ruth Hale; she wouldn’t have been so miserable today, nor would she have fallen into an abyss.
"Zoe!"
Ruth Hale was shocked, looking at Zoe Quinn with eyes full of confusion, not understanding her meaning.
How can she admit that Serena Sullivan didn’t plagiarize?
The guests who were about to leave, including Skylar Sinclair, stopped and looked back at these two.
"Four years ago, you guided me, gave me inspiration, why didn’t you tell me it was my sister’s?"
With one sentence, the clever Zoe Quinn turned on Ruth Hale, shifting the blame onto her.
This was something Ruth Hale hadn’t expected.
"Even today!"
Zoe Quinn cried with grievance, "If I had known all the inspiration you gave were from others, I would rather not have it."
"I’m lacking in design, but I will rely on my own efforts."
"You actually took someone else’s achievements to help me."
Zoe Quinn placed all the blame on Ruth Hale; she couldn’t stay in the design world but couldn’t be despised in high society.
As long as the fault lay with Ruth Hale, there were still people who would believe her.
"Ms. Hale, no!"
With tears in her eyes, Zoe Quinn said loudly, "It’s Designer Hale; I, Zoe Quinn, will no longer acknowledge you as a teacher!"
"And because of me, my sister and Designer Sinclair were slandered, I have no face to stay in the design world."
"I announce that I will quit the design world!"
With a few words, Zoe Quinn absolved herself completely.
Originally unable to stay in the design world, she now took the initiative to declare, letting others see her willingness to give up her beloved career to avoid colluding with Ruth Hale.
"Zoe!"
Ruth Hale shook with a voice full of trembling; Zoe Quinn’s counterattack hurt and scared her more than finding out Serena Sullivan was zero.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked at Zoe Quinn, who resented her, with reddened eyes.
After a while, everyone thought Ruth Hale would accuse Zoe Quinn of lying, dragging her down as well.
However, she didn’t!
Ruth Hale spoke, clutching the microphone tightly, tears falling from her eyes.
"Yes, it was I who deliberately gave you their inspiration."
"It’s my fault; if it weren’t for me, your works wouldn’t resemble those of Serena Sullivan and Skylar Sinclair."
She took all the blame onto herself, leaving the audience shocked and puzzled, including Skylar Sinclair.
How could Zoe Quinn not know anything!
Ruth Hale’s reputation in the design world far exceeded Zoe Quinn, yet she gave up her designer career for Zoe Quinn.
