The living room on the set of a TV series.
Adriana, still in her vintage prop suit, was watching the live broadcast on her phone when she stood up, startled by the man who suddenly appeared in the frame.
Marcos Franco…
He was holding a flash drive identical to the one Ivanna had pulled out.
Adriana’s eyes filled with disbelief….
How, how did she get her hands on this flash drive!
A long time ago Micaela went to participate in the Model A Qualifying Examination and went to Jiangcheng with her as a judge, and when she attended the dinner that night, she gave this flash drive to Marcos and asked him to return it to Micaela under the pretext of taking photos of him and Micaela behaving intimately, and then used the photos to smear Micaela for her questionable style. He then threatened the organizers of Angel Supermodel to invite Micaela to participate in the contest, but Micaela ended up taking the flash drive from Antonio’s table!
She had opened it and checked after retrieving it, and it was the correct design.
Did she fail to get the flash drive?
And was it the original one she took, or the engraved one?
Seeing Ivanna’s increasingly upset expression on camera, Adriana was quick to speak up.
-Stop, Ivanna, just say that the design is yours and no one can do anything about it! We’ve gone through it together, there’s nothing in it to prove ownership!
Ivanna on stage, whose face was white, steadied herself when she heard Adriana’s words coming out of the miniature headphones in her ears… yes, she was the one who pulled out the USB stick first!
She had to make a preemptive strike!
Ivanna looks at Micaela with an incredulous look.
-Micaela, I really didn’t think that you had not only stolen my idea, but also copied the flash drive to go with it. How could you do this?
Her determined tone made Alba gasp.
Has Ivanna, who has a straight through brain, really learned how to take a backhand?
Before Marcos had time to speak, Ivanna looked at Marcos and snapped.
-Cousin, I know you’ve always loved Micaela and you can’t get her out of your mind, but you can’t be so indiscriminate and help outsiders bully me.
There was a great snort from the floor.
Marcos grunted and spoke fearlessly.
-I do like Micaela, I can’t forget her, but that’s my business, not yours and not Micaela’s. I’m convinced of losing with Mr. Aguayo and I’m willing to give them my blessing.
Marcos surprised Micaela with what he said?
Alba was also dumbfounded, was this man crazy?
Ernesto looked at Carlos with a playful expression.
-Carlos, you’ve done a great job, you’ve gotten all your rivals to give you their blessing willingly.
Carlos hooked the corner of his mouth and looked at Micaela on stage, he said he wouldn’t let anything happen to Micaela….
The whole audience was also somewhat overwhelmed by the reaction, quickly sorting out the relationships: the
-That time with the Super Angel Contest it became clear to us that Micaela was for a while with Mr. Marcos….
-And then betrayed by Adriana!
-It’s been known for some time that Mr. Marcos has broken up with Adriana and that the news of the engagement has long since died out!
-And now he’s trying to help clear Micaela of plagiarism!
-Oooh, his line about how he likes Micaela but has nothing to do with Micaela is so touching to me!
-Yeah, I like you, none of your business, for crying out loud!
Suddenly there is a wave of Marcos’ fans on the floor….
Marcos raised the USB stick he was holding in his hand again.
-Ivanna, I’m not helping you because you’re lying, the newspaper is not going to cover it, do you think you have that flash drive and that’s it?
The presenter stepped forward, took the USB memory stick from Marcos’ hand and gave it to the staff. Soon, the contents of the USB stick were displayed on the big screen, exactly the same as the one Ivanna had given earlier.
Clearly one of them was inscribed.
Ivanna’s fists clenched tightly.
-I’m not lying, what proof do you have that I’m lying? To take a burned USB stick and insist that I stole Micaela’s USB stick?
-Who really carved who?
Marcos asked coldly.
What…
Ivanna was a bit overwhelmed by the reaction, and it took her a while to think, could it be, that what she was holding in her hands was the engraving….
A staff member came on stage and showed two identical looking USB sticks, took the microphone and spoke.
-The USB flash drive handed out by Ms. German is a new model from last year, model M18, and the one handed out by Mr. Marcos is four years old, model M14.
M18 is the new USB flash drive from last year, M14 is 4 years old….
With a huge sigh of relief, Alba put an arm around Micaela’s shoulders and deliberately walked over to the microphone she was holding and said loudly.
-Crikey, Miss Aleman, does your family have a Doraemon? Can you travel back in time to save the improvisation of your college days with an M18 that left the factory last year, four years ago?
Ernesto bursts out laughing with glee.
My girlfriend is this beautiful!
The field paused for a second, then stormed out.
-Such a deadly vulnerability!
-It’s obvious you’ve carved Micaela’s flash drive!
-With this ironclad evidence, how dare you slyly argue!
-Simply! -Why are you so thick-skinned that you dare to get up on stage and shout!
-Using our Micaela’s creation to smear and defame Micaela is outrageous.
Everyone hated the bottle of mineral water she was carrying.
Ivanna stood dumbfounded and with her feet on the ground, watching the tirade from the stage, a bit incredulous that the problem was in that USB stick….
For a moment she really lost it, Mr. German gestured from the stage and called her to come down, she didn’t even hear her until Adriana’s hoarse voice reached her ears.
-Ivanna, get out of the plane, what are you doing standing there? Get out of there with your father!
Ivanna came to her senses and rushed out, only to have Marcos grab her wrist.
-Ivanna, who gave you the flash drive? Who instigated you to do this?
Adriana, out of the field, took a step back with her phone in her hand, her heart sank….
Marcos, she’s trying to get herself killed!
She knew perfectly well that she, Adriana, had the flash drive.
Not being a designer herself and not wanting to expose herself, she approached the impulsive and easily provoked Ivanna, a fool who was so gullible that without thinking of the consequences, she agreed to do it on the spur of the moment, thinking she would get a great deal!
If Marcos hadn’t shown up, then how things evolved wouldn’t have burned in him, but, Marcos, he’s taking it out on Micaela….
She looked at the video and the cameraman took a close-up of Marcos, who was on his side, holding Ivanna’s wrist with one hand, his eyes determined, as if he was bound to make Ivanna spit on her!
Adriana couldn’t help the pang of anguish, Marcos you, did you completely disregard me for Micaela?
At least I’ve been with you this long, I’ve been faithful to you, how can you do this to me?
She was about to ask Ivanna not to reveal it, but it was too late, and Ivanna knew she couldn’t get rid of it without shaking Adriana, so in her confusion she opened her mouth anyway.
-Yes, it’s Adriana’s!
