Rewriting My Heart's Fate (Ethan and Evelyn)

Next to Caroline was Whitney. She ground her teeth, and her face was equally twisted in rage.

"That wretched woman! How dare she humiliate us like this in public?" Caroline snarled. She slammed her fist against the wall, her knuckles cracking audibly. "I won't let her get away with this!" Whitney sneered coldly. "Relax. We still have a backup plan."

Their hushed scheming didn't escape my notice, though I couldn't make out exactly what they were plotting. Just then, a commotion erupted nearby.

A tall, handsome man strode in confidently. His face was lit with a knowing smile.

I blinked in surprise. It was Kevin!

Wasn't he supposed to be busy preparing backstage? Why was he here now?

Kevin stopped before me and smiled. "Evelyn, don't worry. It's not over yet."

I was confused. "Kevin, what do you mean? Don't tell me... the police are here to arrest me?"

Kevin chuckled and interrupted me before I could spiral further. "No, but I took a precaution just in case."

"What?" I stared at him, utterly baffled.

"I secretly installed a hidden camera in their dressing room," Kevin explained.

My eyes widened in disbelief. "You... did what?"

"That's not all," he said smugly, holding up a USB drive. "I also connected remotely to their computers and recorded the entire process of them stealing your designs."

He added, "These are irrefutable proof."

My heart raced as his words sank in. A wave of relief and exhilaration washed over me. This was a miracle. With this evidence, I could finally clear my name and bring Caroline and Whitney to justice. Caroline and Whitney overheard Kevin's words. Their faces turned deathly pale. They could never have imagined that what they thought was a flawless crime had been completely caught on camera. "No... no way!" Caroline stammered, losing her composure entirely. "You're lying! We didn't do anything illegal!"

Whitney tried to keep her cool, though her voice wavered. "Exactly. Stop spouting nonsense unless you have actual evidence!"

Kevin smirked. "Evidence? Sure thing. Let me show you."

With that, he handed the USB drive to the staff, who quickly set it up. Moments later, the giant screen lit up, and the video began to play.

The audience collectively gasped.

On the screen, Caroline and Whitney were seen sneaking into my workspace, rifling through my belongings. Soon, they found my design sketches.

"Found it!" Caroline exclaimed

excitedly With these sketches, we

can easily replicate the dresses.

Once we showcase them, who'll

even know who the original designer

is?

Whitney let out a sinister chuckle. "Exactly. Then, we'll just accuse Evelyn of plagiarizing our designs. Let's see how she recovers from that!" The video clearly showed the two brazenly stealing my hard work.

When it ended, the room fell silent. For a few seconds, no one moved or spoke. They were stunned by what they had just seen. Then, an explosion of applause and cheers erupted.

"So, it was those two who stole Evelyn's designs! She's innocent! They're the ones who framed her!"

The crowd was furious, and they harshly condemned Caroline and Whitney's despicable actions.

Meanwhile, both of them were paralyzed with fear, their faces ashen. They huddled together and trembled.

Kevin looked at them with a frosty

smile. "This is the end of the line for

you. Don't think you can escape the law. The police are already on their way. And there's a copy of this video at the station, just in case."

Right on cue, several officers stormed into the venue.

The officers flashed their badges and announced, "Caroline and Whitney, you are under arrest for theft of intellectual property and false accusations. Come with us."

The two tried to resist, but the

officers swiftly restrained them, snapping handcuffs onto their wrists. Their piercing screams

echoed through the venue as they

were dragged away.

I stood there, still reeling from the whirlwind of events. I wasn't quite able to process my emotions.

It wasn't until Ethan gently patted my shoulder that I snapped back to reality.
