Chapter 232 - 232 232 If You Have the Ability Find a Backer

Chapter 232: Chapter 232: If You Have the Ability, Find a Backer Yourself Chapter 232: Chapter 232: If You Have the Ability, Find a Backer Yourself “Miss Turner, isn’t it? A woman like you will probably never fail, no matter where you go. I must’ve been blind to have provoked you.”

Cherish could clearly hear the acidic and bitter tone in her words, implying that she had connections but no real talent.

This was the one thing Cherish found most intolerable and insulting to her profession.

Standing up and suppressing the urge to charge over and pull Soudou’s hair, Cherish, for the first time, straightened her back, and went to confront her:

“Miss Soudou, right? In the competition later, I’ll make sure you know that you were indeed blind to provoke me. I’ll show you that framing me for plagiarism is the most foolish thing for you to do. I don’t know what your motive is for doing this, but remember, as a comic artist, no, any professional should have professional ethics. The world needs order.”

Soudou listened in silence, unable to believe that this seemingly ordinary woman standing in front of her possessed such an unyielding soul within her seemingly delicate body.

Soudou felt a moment of vulnerability in front of Cherish, even feeling that she was somewhat “shorter” than her.

“You have Tanigawa and that gentleman backing you, don’t you, Cherish? Without them, how far do you think you could go? Maybe in the world of comics, you’re nothing!”

Jealousy caused Soudou to blurt out her words thoughtlessly, but surprisingly, Cherish wasn’t angry at all. After all, it was indeed because of Tanigawa and William supporting her that she was able to clear her name.

“Yes, they are indeed backing me, speaking up for me. But you know for sure that my work is truly my own creation. I’m not overvaluing myself. If you’re so capable, why don’t you try to find someone to back you as well?”

Cherish had never been one to talk this sharply, but this time, she was genuinely enraged, and that was why she spoke so harshly.

Soudou thought Cherish was just a harmless little bunny, and she never expected her to talk like this. Soudou was left speechless.

Many people don’t understand that even a rabbit, when cornered, will bite!

The competition between Cherish and Soudou soon began. With many media outlets present at the public event, both of them couldn’t help but feel nervous. Under such circumstances, it wasn’t just about their respective skills, but also their ability to handle mental pressure.

The competition was split into two rounds. In the first round, the contestants would imitate the previously accused artwork to determine who had a more solid foundation. In the second round, on-site experts would give a random topic, under which the contestants would create a work within a specified time. The work would be handed to one hundred randomly selected comic enthusiasts present for scoring, and the highest scorer would win.

So, this competition was not only a challenge for both of them but also an opportunity to showcase their talents.

Once she stepped onto the stage, Cherish saw William and Tanigawa sitting in the most conspicuous spot, watching her.

William’s gaze was gentle, but he had hidden depths that only Cherish could understand, as if telling her that no matter what happens, he will always be by her side.

Tanigawa gave Cherish a smile, full of trust. However, upon seeing William’s gaze, Tanigawa suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, making him shudder and withdrawing his gaze from Cherish.

Despite feeling frustrated, he wondered why he had to be afraid of William. How strange!

The judges announced the start, and the tense competition commenced—
