Chapter 113: Letter From The Lawyer

Chapter 113: Letter from the lawyer

-All right, today's work is also finished, let's have lunch.

Shaking her head and dismissing the disordered thoughts from her mind, Mariana pulled Ana and walked out.

In the following days, Mariana took care of the dress alterations.

After seeing the dress designed by Susana, Mariana couldn't help but respect her even more.

The neckline of the model's red dress opened very low, exposing a large area of skin, and the skirt trailed long.

The waist was cinched and a huge slit was made at the base of the legs, with a small sexy of the traditional dress, the ensemble looked like a piece of silky fabric, with smooth, sharp lines. He was simple and generous, but also unspeakably sexy, flamboyant and wickedly charming.

Such a dress really did not suit Diana's temperament.

Since she wanted to impress the audience at the film festival, Mariana had to satisfy her request.

With downcast eyes, he already had an idea in his head and began to modify.

Finally, the day before the festival, Mariana had her dress altered.

Mariana opted to keep the one-piece style, but the neckline and the large hairpin that opened way down were very tight, and to make both match well, she chose to cover it with a light veil.

This would not lose the original meaning of the dress, but would also satisfy Diana's demand for the dress to be flowing and sexy.

When the robe was handed to Diana, she merely gave it a faint glance before looking away, completely devoid of any of the seriousness she had felt earlier.

A trace of surprise shone in her eyes, Mariana frowned, but naturally said no more.

On the day of the film festival, Diana brought to the stage Susana's work modified by Mariana. It was beautiful and charming. There were no boundaries between the two different styles, which made her show a different kind of beauty.

It was an impressive sight to behold.

That night, Diana's look topped the Facebook trends and, naturally, received a lot of praise, causing quite a stir.

Even below Diana's own Facebook account, there were comments from passersby who were drawn to the red carpet spectacle in the quest for warmth, all of them in awe of the dress.

However, Mariana couldn't feel half as much joy.

That recognition was not what she wanted.

Mariana put down her cell phone and opened the magazine on the coffee table, which showed Susana's award-winning work.

Her gaze was drawn to the winning dress, unable to tear herself away from it.

The dress that appeared inside the magazine was the exact same one that Diana had taken to her to be altered, the exact same one!

Her heart suddenly clenched and Mariana's hand holding the magazine trembled slightly with a sense of helplessness.

What the hell was going on here? Could it be that the relationship between Susana and Diana had grown so close that they gave her the work that had won an international award, and promised to let her modify it as long as she liked it?

His heart was beating violently at that moment, rising and falling in his chest, heavier than ever.

Mariana's heart was vaguely restless.

The next morning, Mariana arrived on set, but to her surprise, a member of the crew handed her a flat messenger.

Puzzled, she picked it up and opened it, only to see the word Processing in front of her eyes.

With a shudder in his heart, he unfolded all the hard white paper, and complex thoughts instantly surfaced in Mariana's eyes.

It is a letter from Susana's studio suing her for plagiarism of her award-winning work.

The dress that Diana had asked her to alter...

Thinking of something, Mariana clutched the lawyer's letter tightly in her hand, turned around and ran out, just as she reached the entrance of the hall, she was told that Diana was sick and would not be coming in today.

After a pause, Mariana left the crew, took a cab, called Diana and used the address revealed by the reporter to replace him.

The phone was always off.

When she arrived at the place, Mariana quickly got out of the car and arrived at Diana's villa, going ahead to ring the doorbell, but there was no answer, only the dull and unsettling sound of the doorbell ringing over and over again.

At that moment, Mariana received the cell phone number of Diana's assistant that she had asked Ana to check, and this time the phone was connected.

-Hello? May I ask if Miss Solis is here? I'm looking for her on a very important matter, please pass her the phone.

A slightly icy voice came from the other end of the phone, landing in Mariana's ears and directly quenching her impatience.

-Miss Ortiz, Diana caught a cold yesterday, at this moment she has a high fever and is still unconscious, she may not be able to talk to you, please call back in a few days, Diana needs to rest.

In the end, the assistant's words were mixed with a bit of impatience.

-It is very important...

Before I could finish speaking, the other party had already hung up the phone directly, without mercy.

She wanted Diana to help her clear things up in front of Susana, but she didn't expect her to even see her face.

Somewhat dejected, she returned to the set and had just arrived and was stopped by an anxious-looking Ana, and a cell phone screen was placed in front of her.

-Mari, look!

Dropping her eyes to look at him, her otherwise listless spirit suddenly quivered as she grabbed the phone with both hands and flipped through it quickly.

-A national designer, Mariana, is shamelessly copying the work of designer Susana and marketing it...

This was the statement issued by Susana's studio.

Clicking on the comments, there was even an avalanche of supportive comments, all of them denouncing Mariana's shameful act of plagiarism, and some of them were even very vicious in their comments. -Mari, look, early this morning, the Susana studio issued such a statement, and in an instant, it quickly rose to the top of the hot search, and now the entire Internet is discussing this issue. The words were a bit heavy.

Ana looked at Mariana with concern, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say.

Naturally, she believed that Mariana would not engage in plagiarism, but there were too many people arguing online, and for those haters, it didn't matter what the truth was, they just hurled insults. However, the fact that the others saw those comments would have a great impact on Mariana, and even on the production team of Emperatriz Santa. -Mari, what should you do now?

The hand holding the phone couldn't help but tense, and the thin, bony knuckles turned slightly white.

"What can I do?"

There was already a lot of fuss on the Internet, Susana insisted that she was plagiarizing, and the person in question, Diana, was in a feverish coma. "What else can I do?"

At this point, if she was still unclear about what kind of scheme she was submitting to, then she was really stupid.

The fact that Diana and Susana were friends may not be wrong, and the dress may have been what Diana asked Susana to wear. Then they asked her to change, and then accused her of plagiarism, and caused such drama.

If she had really plagiarized, Mariana's design career would be ruined!

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

The assistant director came in, and when she saw Mariana, a touch of contempt and impatience shone in her eyes,

-The director is looking for you.

Then, without looking back, he quickly left.

Seeing the appearance of that person, Ana became very angry,

-Why is this person acting like this? It hasn't all been decided yet, whether it's plagiarism or not is another story, but he has condemned someone first!

Gently stroking Ana's shoulder, Mariana spoke helplessly,

-Well, since the director is looking for me, I'll go there.

At that moment, the director, filled with deep anger, was sitting on the sofa browsing through online messages.
