Sonia frowned. “What’s so
She wasn’t familiar with fashion industry insiders, but her stylist was a walking encyclopedia of designer jewelry
The stylist explained excitedly SC–Sylvie Corvalle, one of the world’s top jewelry designers. Her work is famous for unique style and incredible craftsmanship. Celebrities and royalty fight over her pieces. She’s semi–retired now, supposedly has two protégés who learned her techniques, but they’re very mysterious ||
“You’re sure this is SC’s work?” Sonia asked urgently
Hex stylist nodded, pointing to specific details. “Look at this mounting technique, these signature patterns–theyre SC trademark elements. I saw her work at a Paris exhibition. I’d recognize it anywhere.“[]
Charlotte was started that someone had noticed those subtle details.
Sonia’s heart raced. If this was really SC’s work, how could Charlone possibly have access to it? Did she have some connection to Sylvie Corvalle?
Impossible! 50 is Internationally renowned–how could a nobody like Charlone know her?

“Ms. Vance, I should warn you–plagiarism is career suicide in this industry. If you did copy SC’s work, you should admit it now before things get worse.
“I’m telling evenly.
g you again–this portfolio is my original design, Just tell me whether you’re satisfied with If not, feel free to find someone else,” Charlotte replied
I’m not satisfied. I won’t accept plagiarized work. Wearing copied jewelry would be humiliating. Sonia declared righteously
Charlotte’s expression grew serious. “Miss Vinci, you can dislike my work, but don’t insult my integrity, I did not plagiarize
She pulled a folder from her big and slid it across. These are my sketches and inspiration note for this place You can review them. And If you’re still not convinced, I can contact SC’s studio for verification,
“Are you seriously claiming to know SC personally?” Sonia scuffed.
