Tina looked as pale as a ghost. She never imagined that Anna was actually Carl!
In the audience, Mrs. Luke was just as shocked. The woman who had been flirting with her son… was Carl!
"Oh my gosh, Anna Ives is Carl! The world-famous designer from years ago!"
"Exactly! She's an international fashion designer. Someone at her level has true talent. There's no way she could've copied anyone."
"So when people said her designs carried traces of Carl's style, it wasn't imitation at all… she was Carl all along!"
The crowd, now realizing the truth, instantly changed their tune. Praise began to replace the mockery that had filled the courtroom moments before.
Tina clenched her fingers so tightly against the table that her knuckles turned white.
Her eyes burned with fury as she glared at Anna. "If you're Carl, then why didn't you say it from the start?"
