After Divorce I Married a Tycoon-Chapter 193: About to Explode with Rage

The audience at the competition was utterly stunned by Scarlett Jewel’s shameless stunt.

After an uproar swept through the venue, people broke into small groups, whispering and discussing heatedly.

Meanwhile, netizens online weren’t about to be left out, and they flooded the internet with posts condemning Scarlett Jewel.

Anyone following the competition joined the fray to rail against Scarlett Jewel.

Netizen A: "What did I tell you? I called it. Scarlett Jewel was the shameless plagiarist all along. (*￣rǒ￣)"

Netizen B: "The key thing is, she plagiarized Claire Mercer’s design, then turned around and had Joel Jennings accuse Claire of plagiarism."

"This incredibly shameless stunt has been a real eye-opener."

Netizen C: "Seriously, live long enough and you’ll see all sorts of freaks."

Netizen D: "To be fair, Scarlett Jewel’s shamelessness is pretty much unprecedented, isn’t it?"

"Honestly, I can’t believe someone could be so despicable and shameless."

"Plagiarizing the original designer is one thing, but couldn’t you at least be a little subtle about it?"

"Who knew this girl would not only plagiarize, but also have someone else falsely accuse the original designer—the one she plagiarized from—of plagiarism..."

"My god, she has absolutely no shame."

Netizen E: "She never had any shame to begin with, so how can she lose it?"

"But speaking of Claire Mercer and Scarlett Jewel, it reminds this humble spectator of their whole grudge."

"And I have to say, the Sinclair family’s heir sure has impeccable taste."

Netizen F: "To the person above, that comment didn’t do much damage, but the insult was savage."

"I wonder what the Sinclair family’s heir must be thinking now, seeing the contrast between his ex-wife and his current girlfriend."

"His ex-wife is beautiful, talented, brave, perceptive, generous, and classy."

"Now let’s look at his current girlfriend? Let’s not even mention the plastic surgery face; her character is just deplorable."

"Not only did she plagiarize his ex-wife’s design, but she also had someone else accuse the original creator—his ex-wife—of plagiarism."

"This level of shamelessness really sets a new record."

"Aside from today’s plagiarized work from Claire Mercer, her previous designs were completely mediocre."

"Forget it, I can’t go on. There’s nothing praiseworthy about her."

"Let’s leave the Sinclair heir some dignity. If we keep this up, he’ll be kicking himself raw with regret."

"Don’t say that. Maybe the Sinclair heir just likes Scarlett Jewel’s plastic, silicone face?"

"Maybe he just likes how despicable she is, how utterly shameless?"

"Pfft."

"..."

「Before the plagiarism incident.」

Back at the Sinclair estate, Gavin Sinclair was, for once, watching the live television broadcast with great interest.

He usually had no interest in this kind of competition.

But how could he not, when Claire Mercer was in it?

Now, Claire had completely blocked him on all platforms.

It was difficult for him to even see her, so his only choice was to watch her competition live on TV or his phone.

Lately, he had found himself reminiscing more and more about how good Claire had been to him.

Every time he saw Claire on stage, radiant and confident, his heart ached unbearably.

’She’s so outstanding, so dazzling.’

’After leaving me, she seems even more vibrant and full of life than before.’

’She smiles so much more now, and her smile is so beautiful...’

’How could I have been so blind back then?’

He couldn’t even understand now why he had gotten involved with Scarlett Jewel in the first place.

He’d had such a virtuous and beautiful wife at home, yet he’d thrown her away to mess around with some low-life trash.

Gavin Sinclair sat on the sofa, his eyes searching for the most eye-catching figure on the stage.

Meanwhile, his parents, the Sinclairs, were cheering for Scarlett Jewel making it into the top three.

Felix Sinclair was the first to speak, his voice filled with excitement. "Excellent! Scarlett Jewel has finally brought great honor to the Sinclair family."

Rose Gable was also smiling so widely that the wrinkles on her face deepened.

"See? Scarlett Jewel is no worse than Claire Mercer."

"Oh, Gavin, you have no idea. All the ladies from the wealthy families are saying how blessed you are."

"Your ex-wife is talented, and your current one is talented too."

"Both of your wives have brought you so much honor."

"Everyone’s saying our Sinclair family has good taste, that both our daughters-in-law have been incredibly talented."

Rose Gable recalled the envious looks everyone in her circle of wealthy wives had been giving her lately...

She immediately felt refreshed and invigorated.

But who would have known that just a few minutes into her delight, Joel Jennings would appear on stage to accuse Claire Mercer of plagiarism.

Seeing this, Gavin Sinclair said flatly,

"Impossible. Claire would never plagiarize."

His words instantly drew a furious tirade from Rose Gable.

"What do you mean, impossible? I think Claire Mercer is just a pretty face, an empty vase."

"And to think I actually found her designs pleasing to the eye before. I can’t believe she’s a plagiarist."

Gavin Sinclair shot her a cold glare.

"I said, Claire would never plagiarize. She’s not that kind of person."

Rose Gable was momentarily stunned by his icy gaze.

When she came to her senses, she roared at him:

"Gavin Sinclair, have you lost your mind?"

"You and Claire Mercer are ancient history! Isn’t her being accused of plagiarism a good thing for Scarlett Jewel?"

"If Scarlett Jewel wins the championship, it will naturally bring honor to our Sinclair family."

"Why are you getting so worked up and angry the moment Claire Mercer’s plagiarism is mentioned?"

"Don’t tell me you’re still thinking about that little bitch Claire Mercer?"

"Hmph. Back when she was still part of the Sinclair family, you didn’t cherish her. You ran off and fooled around with Scarlett Jewel."

"Now that she’s left you, left the Sinclair family, and would rather marry some penniless nobody than give you the time of day, you’ve suddenly fallen head over heels for her."

"If you ask me, you’re just being pathetic. You didn’t cherish what you had, and now that it’s gone, you’re full of regret."

"They say belated affection is cheaper than dirt. What’s the use of putting on this lovesick act for me now?"

The more Rose Gable spoke, the angrier she became, and her words grew increasingly harsh.

She couldn’t for the life of her figure out what wire had gotten crossed in her son’s brain.

Ever since his complete fallout with Claire Mercer, his heart had, paradoxically, become completely devoted to her.

Ignoring Gavin Sinclair, Rose Gable turned her attention back to the live broadcast.

Watching Claire Mercer arguing her case forcefully on stage, Rose Gable sneered contemptuously.

"A plagiarist still trying to argue her way out of it. How shameless."

But soon, she would be forced to eat her own words.

When Joel Jennings publicly admitted that he had acted on Scarlett Jewel’s instructions to slander Claire Mercer,

the smiles on Rose Gable’s and Felix Sinclair’s faces instantly shattered.

They had just been praising Scarlett Jewel for bringing honor to the Sinclair family. They never expected to be slapped in the face by reality so quickly.

"What on earth is going on? Is that Joel Jennings spouting nonsense?" Rose Gable exclaimed.

"Did Claire Mercer threaten that Joel Jennings into saying that just to frame Scarlett Jewel?"

"Spouting nonsense?" Felix Sinclair shot her an annoyed glance.

"Didn’t you see that Joel Jennings even showed his chat logs with Scarlett Jewel?"

’That idiot Scarlett! Why on earth did she have to slander Claire Mercer?’

’Why did she have to provoke Claire Mercer?’

’Doesn’t she know what kind of losses the Sinclair family and the Mercer Family suffered at Claire Mercer’s hands?’

’She drove the Mercer Family directly into bankruptcy and completely ruined the Sinclair family’s reputation.’

’We had just barely recovered from the Sinclair family scandal that Claire exposed, and now this Scarlett Jewel has pulled another stunt like this.’

Felix Sinclair was about to explode with rage, nearly smashing the television.
