Let's Not Condemn An Innocent
Julian Thorne was once the undisputed star of the design world.
His unique creations placed him at the industry's pinnacle.
Top celebrities once fought for the privilege of wearing his gowns.
But his star had faded in recent years.
A prolonged creative drought had seen his presence diminish.
"The internet is exploding! Twitter hasn't seen drama like this in ages."
"Can you believe it? Cassandra Sterling is wearing a dress by a known plagiarist. This is insane."
"Leave Cassandra out of this! She's a victim here. The blame lies entirely with that inexperienced designer. Cassandra was just trying to support a newcomer, and this is the thanks she gets? Why is she receiving this backlash?"
"I'm furious! As a loyal fan of Cassandra, I've been counting down to this red carpet. How could it go so wrong? Aethelgard Industries, you need to take responsibility. Stop hiding! Drag that naive designer out and force her to apologize to Cassandra. Immediately!"
"Evelyn, you should be ashamed for copying an established designer's work. You owe everyone an apology. Perhaps you should just leave the industry for good."
"The Sterling family, enough with the damage control. It's exhausting watching your blindly loyal fans defend you. Clearly, that rookie designer was just a pawn in Cassandra's larger scheme."
"Let me be clear. Cassandra has been anticipating this red carpet for a full month. She knows the caliber of designers at Aethelgard Industries. She commissioned her gown well in advance, fully aware of the competition she'd face. Would she really gamble her entire reputation by knowingly choosing a plagiarist? Open your eyes, people! Cassandra has been set up! She's just trying to reclaim her status among the domestic elite after her time abroad."
"Evelyn, you need to come forward and explain yourself. Are you trying to sabotage Cassandra? After she went out of her way to promote you, this is your repayment? Bravo. We will be boycotting Aethelgard Industries' designers from now on."
Within thirty minutes, Julian Thorne posted a new update.
"I started the initial sketches for this design six months ago.
I completed the final piece just one month ago.
After several refinements, I officially released it on my platform.
I am utterly baffled as to how Evelyn could have copied my work.
Even more shocking, she convinced Cassandra Sterling to wear it on the red carpet.
This is a profound insult to the art of design itself.
I demand strict action be taken!
Furthermore, having collaborated with Cassandra in the past, I know her to be a person of integrity.
I sincerely doubt she would stoop to such levels.
There is undoubtedly more to this story.
A thorough investigation is necessary to clear Cassandra's name.
Let's not condemn an innocent person."
Julian's latest post effectively confirmed the growing suspicion.
It suggested Evelyn had concealed the fact that the gown was plagiarized.
"Evelyn has some nerve, daring to imitate Julian Thorne's design. His experience far surpasses hers."
"It's truly brazen. Cassandra always commands the spotlight. To plagiarize for such a high-profile event is like playing with fire."
"Maybe Evelyn ran out of original ideas and thought Julian, being past his prime, wouldn't attract much attention."
"Wait, is it possible that Evelyn didn't actually copy Julian's designs?"
"Whose side are you on? The release timeline clearly points to plagiarism."
"Absolutely. Julian has a stellar reputation. Why would he falsely accuse an unknown newcomer?"
