229 Can You Provide Any Clarification

"I agree with the previous comment. The name Evelyn was completely unknown to me before this."

"Ever since Cassandra announced she would wear a red carpet gown by a new designer, I had my doubts. How could someone with no experience create something so stunning? I stayed quiet while everyone praised it, but it never felt right."

Within hours, the initial admiration for Evelyn on Twitter twisted into vicious accusations of plagiarism.

"Are you ignoring this mess? Are you trying to ruin Cassandra? Did a rival send you?"

"Cassandra has won countless awards. It seemed strange she would pick an unknown like Evelyn when she has access to the world's top designers."

"How dare you, a beginner, so brazenly steal from an established artist like Julian Thorne? Your career is over."

"Wait, that name rings a bell—Evelyn from Crestwood. Wasn't she mixed up in that Blackwood family scandal?"

"Exactly! Now it all adds up. There's definitely more to this Evelyn woman."

"I found a picture of her. She's attractive. She seemed nice at first, but you can't trust appearances."

"Could her whole kidnapping story be fabricated too? Maybe Evelyn is the real villain here."

The internet was ablaze with the scandal of Cassandra's dress and the plagiarism claims.

Furious, Cassandra's fans bombarded her management team demanding explanations.

"What is wrong with you people? Why can't you get Cassandra a reliable designer?"

"It's time for a complete management shake-up! Cassandra is back to reclaim her throne. Shouldn't you be working harder? How could you let this happen for her big red carpet return? Does anyone there actually care about their job?"

"I'm speechless. Cassandra deserves so much better than this chaos. When will she finally be treated right?"

"Remember, your paychecks come from Cassandra! Could you please focus? What's the plan for tonight's event?"

Instead of addressing the concerns, Cassandra's studio quickly deleted all photos of her in the gown Evelyn designed from their social media platforms.

This move was widely interpreted as a confession of guilt, solidifying the belief that Evelyn had copied the design.

Amid the turmoil, Cassandra's manager, Genevieve Hartman, called Nathanial.

"Nathanial, what in the world is going on? Can you provide any clarification? Your designer's actions have severely damaged Cassandra's reputation. How is she supposed to show her face tonight? Cassandra is too afraid to even look at her phone, she breaks down crying every time she sees a message from a fan! Nathanial, what is your plan to fix this?"

Nathanial, stunned by the rapid escalation, was equally concerned. "Don't worry, I'm handling it."

But Genevieve was relentless. "There's no time for a lengthy investigation! It's obvious your novice designer, Evelyn, copied Julian Thorne's work. The dress is unusable. We need a replacement immediately, even something off-the-rack will do. Send it over now so Cassandra can change!"
