According to the rules, Zara should be punished for using the wrong materials, with penalties ranging from loss of points to disqualification. However, the situation became complicated because it was Howard Scot who took the wrong materials, unbeknownst to Zara.
The person in charge looked troubled. The president of ZR was in the reception room and this mishap could lead to severe consequences, possibly resulting in his dismissal.
He thought for a moment, cleared his throat, and said, “Howard Scot, you all read the rules before participating in the competition. Now you violated the rules by taking someone else’s materials. You…”
“Wait, let me explain.” Howard Scot shouted, then glared at Xaviera Evans.”
“Indeed, I took Xaviera’s materials for Zara, but I didn’t do anything wrong!”
As Howard Scot spoke angrily, Zara cast her eyes down and smiled slightly.
Xaviera, on the other hand, was not surprised at all. She knew Zara would take this opportunity to trip her up, but she didn’t expect this twisted development.
Howard Scot, full of resentment, continued, “Zara chose the gray bead, and asked me to help her get it. But when I came, the last gray bead had been destroyed. So, I took the remaining Magic Jade Bead instead.”
“I saw Xaviera destroy Zara’s gray bead! What’s wrong with me taking her Magic Jade Bead?”
Boom!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They couldn’t believe it, thinking there must be more twists.
The person in charge couldn’t believe it either, “This…”
Howard Scot sneered, “Xaviera knew Zara’s materials were the gray beads, so she deliberately broke it, leaving Zara unable to design a perfect piece. But all this was witnessed by me. That’s why I took her materials in revenge.”
“She destroyed others’ materials first. I did this to let her know what it means to reap what she sowed!”
After speaking, Howard Scot walked over to Zara with a gentle tone, “Zara, I’m sorry for hiding the truth from you. You’re too kind-hearted. If you knew I took Xaviera’s materials, you wouldn’t have agreed to it. And also, you considered Xaviera as a friend. If you knew she destroyed your materials, you would have been heartbroken. That’s why I didn’t say anything, hoping you wouldn’t blame me.”
At that moment, everyone realized the truth. It was Xaviera who destroyed someone else’s materials first. No wonder there was a broken gray bead on the table.
So it was Xaviera who let jealousy get to her and purposefully destroyed Zara’s materials.
Inside the reception room behind the materials area.
The assistant nervously looked at the president of ZR, “Sir, do you need me to…”
Caleb Mamet’s thin lips parted slightly, and he whispered some instructions. The assistant nodded and left.
Inside the materials area, Howard Scot continued to vent his anger, “I didn’t intend to deny I took Xaviera’s materials, because I wanted to tell everyone it was her who destroyed Zara’s materials first. She brought it upon herself! There is no place in the jewelry design industry for people without professional ethics!”
Despite his accusations, Xaviera’s expression remained calm.
Howard Scot sneered, “What? You don’t want to admit it?”
Yigol Mamet’s face reddened with anger, “You slander Xaviera with baseless accusations! You said she destroyed Zara’s materials, where’s the evidence? You took her materials, and now you dare to blame her first!”
Yes, baseless accusations shouldn’t be trusted. There should be evidence.
The person in charge looked stern, “Mr. Scot, you should be aware of the negative impact of this incident. You claimed Miss Xaviera Evans destroyed the materials, but do you have any evidence?”
Howard Scot smirked confidently, “I saw with my own eyes Xaviera destroying the materials. I didn’t falsely accuse her. But to make her admit her guilt, I have evidence!”
He pointed to a delicate brooch in the pile of materials, “This is Xaviera’s brooch. She was wearing it when I saw her today. Now it’s off her and appeared here. It must have dropped when she was destroying the materials. Besides, I saw it with my own eyes. How could I falsely accuse her?”
“There’s a surveillance camera in the materials area! Check if Xaviera went there, and you’ll know the truth!”
Howard Scot was confident, and the crowd looked at Xaviera with disdain in their eyes.
