Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 105

It means that the dance the person danced on stage was plagiarized.” Marina enunciated each word.

The crowd at the scene was in an uproar when they heard her.

“Miss, you must speak with evidence. What evidence do you have to prove that the contestant’s dance

just now was plagiarized?” said Winston, frowning.

It was not easy for him to find the right student.

However, Winston would definitely not tolerate it if it was plagiarism.

On stage, Sophia’s face had turned pale.

The dance was indeed not her original.

She had seen the daughter of the Campbell family’s nanny dance once. She felt that those movements

were beautiful, so she remembered them.

After that, she created the current dance through her integration and new composition.

It was also because of this dance that Gordon became even more obsessed with her.

Winston had watched the video of her dance before. It was why he agreed to let her participate in the

selection.

Could it be that the person who taught that girl to dance back then was Marina?

If that was the case, she….

Sophia could not help but clench her fists.

“Because I used the dance to coax children,” Marina said lazily.

As expected, Marina’s words confirmed Sophia’s suspicions.

But the thing had come to this point, and she could never admit that the dance was plagiarized. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Sophia’s gaze was fixed on Marina. “You have no proof!” she said. “What evidence do you have to

prove that you’re the originator of the dance?”

It had been more than a year since the incident happened. She did not believe that Marina could still

keep the evidence.

Moreover, the nanny had been fired.

That little girl had followed her mother back to their hometown.

They couldn’t be found even if one wanted to.

“Miss, you can show it to us now if you have any evidence. If not, please leave the scene and don’t

disturb the order!” Winston was suspicious. But his heart fell back when he saw Sophia’s determined

expression.

A plagiarist would not have such a great deal of certainty.

Looking at Sophia’s aggrieved expression, Marina suddenly chuckled.

“Sophia, you don’t really think there’s no evidence, do you? Why are you so naive?” said Marina.

Marina took out her cell phone and logged into a website.

Only a moment later, the big screen behind the stage lit up.

A dance video was played immediately after.

It should be in a dance studio from the background of the video.

A slender–looking girl was practicing in front of the mirror.

Her movements were 80 to 90 percent similar to the dance that Sophia had just performed.

However, the girl in the video wore a cap and a mask.

Her face couldn’t be seen clearly, but her dance movements were really similar.

“It… is exactly the same. The crowd began to discuss after watching the girl’s performance in the

video.

Sophia’s face also turned pale.

Her sharp nails could not help but dig into her palms.

But she didn’t want to admit defeat just like that.

Sophia immediately straightened her back and stared at Marina without blinking. “What can you prove

with this video?” said she. “I’ve practiced the dance in many places over the past year. What if you saw

my practice and recorded it? Can I also say that you plagiarized me?”

“Your brain does react quickly. However, what you copied is copied. It will never become yours.” said

Marina, looking at Sophia in disdain.

Her slender fingers tapped on her cell phone a few more times.

The scene on the big screen changed instantly.

Marina said, “The video is not a private video and was uploaded online six years ago. At that time, it

caused quite a stir. This is the latest upload date of the original video. Everyone, you can take a look.

“The contestant just said she had only started practicing the dance in the past year. Let me ask you,

how could a video that was released five years ago turn around and copy a dance from a year ago?”

Marina’s lips curled into a cold smile.

A trace of panic instantly appeared in Sophia’s eyes.

“No, it’s not that… I just made a slip of the tongue. I only started… to practice the dance frequently this

year, but I created it six years ago.”

Anyway, the girl in the video did not show her face.

She insisted that the person was her and Marina couldn’t do anything to her.

“Are you sure it was six years ago?” asked Marina, squinting her dark eyes.

“Yes! It was six years ago!” Sophia said in a steady voice.

“But what should I do? I was wrong just now. The exact time the video was uploaded was actually

seven years ago.” Marina specially enlarged the upload date.

It was indeed seven years ago.

Sophia’s legs almost gave out.

Marina looked at her again with a smile. “Are you going to say that you were wrong again just now?

You actually didn’t compose it six years ago but eight years ago?” she said.

There was a hint of mockery in Marina’s tone. One mistake might have been an accident.

However, if she did it twice in a row, she definitely had an ulterior motive and deliberately hid it.

Winston was not the kind of person who could be easily deceived.

By now, it could be confirmed that Sophia’s dance was plagiarized..

His face turned ashen in an instant.

He swung his hands and prepared to leave.

“Mr. Clarkson!” Sophia saw Winston’s action and hurriedly chased after him.

However, Winston shoved her away just as she was about to grab him.

Sophia staggered a few steps back.

Winston said, “I’ve publicly stated that all the dances participating in the selection must be original.

There must be no plagiarism! You even told me that the dance is 100% your original with absolute

certainty. You do let me down! I don’t want to see you again. Don’t appear in front of me in the future!”

Then Winston left.

He really didn’t want to stay a moment longer.

After all, he had just said in front of so many people that he had taken a fancy to her.

In the end, the person was actually a plagiarist.

He had actually taken a fancy to a plagiarist and had almost taken her in as his student.

It was the most humiliating moment of his life!

“Mr. Clarkson…” Sophia wanted to chase after him, but Winston had already disappeared at the door.

With such an accident in the selection process, the judges and candidates who were left behind did not

know what to do.

In the end, a big shot in the dance world, only second to Winston, stood up and spoke.

He expressed that the selection would be temporarily suspended today and they would come back

again tomorrow. The contestants who did not perform today could continue performing tomorrow.

Each of these teachers would also choose a student from among these candidates.

The judge’s words had calmed the restless students.

After all, they were only here to try their luck with a man like Winston.

It would be good if they could become the disciples of other teachers.

After all, the other three teachers were also outstanding in the dance world.

The students who gathered also left one after another soon.

Only unwilling Sophia, Marina, and Marina’s party were left at the scene.
