Shen Siwen and Yan Menglu, who were among the crowd, saw the magnificent Jacqueline Madan, who had just won the runner-up in the contest, instantly fall from heaven to hell and become a street rat.
Especially Yan Menglu, who had also questioned the relationship between Wen Xinya and Jill de Castei before the contest, and had a strange thought. It was not until this moment that she clearly realized the seriousness of slandering the judges.
At that moment, she was very grateful. Fortunately, she had a clear mind and was not as stupid as Jacqueline Madan, who had used the relationship between Wen Xinya and Jill to take a blow at Wen Xinya.
At this point, Jacqueline Madan finally understood that the situation was beyond salvation.
She lowered her noble head. “I’m sorry, Teacher Jill. I shouldn’t have said something insulting to you because of my discord with Miss Wen, but I really didn’t slander you.”
Jacqueline Madan did not want to be angry, but she was helpless. The surveillance video could show a lot of things. Although the conversation could not be heard, there was a language in the world called “lip-reading” which could discern what one was saying based on one’s mouth.
Nowadays, lip-reading was widely used in European countries, and many deaf people also learned professional lip-reading.
She was doomed with no escape route.
Jacqueline Madan took a deep breath and looked at Wen Xinya, bowing to her. “Miss Wen, I’m really sorry. I should not have said those insulting words to you during our conversation, let alone question your jewelry design talents and provoke you.”
Now that the situation was over, Jacqueline Madan knew that if she insisted on lying, the end result would be nothing but infamy. She had to apologize to Wen Xinya because she knew that only if Wen Xinya let this go, even if she lost her reputation, she would still be able to keep everything she had.
Then, Jacqueline Madan apologized to the organizer and co-organizer of the contest. “I’m sorry. Because of my temporary misstatement, the fairness of the Milan World Expo International Jewelry Design Competition has been questioned and challenged. Here, I solemnly hope that the Milan World Expo Jewelry Association and the major organizers of the competition can accept my apology.”
The surveillance video was in the hands of the Milan World Expo Jewelry Association. Only by apologizing to them would this matter calm down.
Jacqueline Madan described this incident as a discord with Wen Xinya, where she was impulsive and behaved inappropriately. In her apology, she emphasized these three points repeatedly and strongly stated that it was just a moment of inappropriate language, and did not really insult or question the fairness judging of the competition.
Reporters naturally refused to believe this story and wanted to dig out more internal information.
However, both the protagonists, Wen Xinya and Jill de Castei, expressed their willingness to accept the apology of Jacqueline Madan, and the organizers of the contest calmed the situation down. They only said in the face of the media that this was a misunderstanding and that hopefully, the media would report truthfully.
Although the media was not satisfied, they had to accept the result.
Therefore, for tomorrow’s report, even if they wrote the process again and again, the final result could only be a misunderstanding with Jacqueline Madan apologizing in public. Of course, the reporters who were invited to participate in the Milan World Expo International Jewelry Design Competition were journalists with some reputation in the media industry and could not distort the facts.
Therefore, no matter what, the reputations of the champion Wen Xinya and the judge Jill de Castei were not compromised, and the fairness of the Milan World Expo International Jewellery Design Competition would not be affected.
As for the provocator Jacqueline Madan, both her reputation as the runner-up and her basic qualities of a noble jewelry designer would be affected and challenged by this matter.
Fortunately, although she was impulsive, she managed to keep what she had before.
This matter was successfully resolved and the impact was reduced to a minimum.
Jacqueline Madan followed Wen Xinya, who was evading the reporters, into the bathroom. “Miss Wen, please answer me truthfully. Did you really record the conversation between us?”
Even though she had just apologized in public, she still had doubts about it. If she did not get full closure, she would not be at ease.
Wen Xinya took out her phone, played the recording, and Jacqueline Madan’s resentful voice came out from her phone.
Jacqueline Madan suddenly took a step back. Fortunately, she did not stubbornly quarrel with her earlier. She was afraid that if she really offended Wen Xinya, she would lose her reputation.
She wanted to slap herself. Wen Xinya was right, the people of Country Z were really not to be bullied. They hid a trap under the floor so that once you were too deep in, before you could even notice anything, your blood would splash on the spot.
Wen Xinya looked at her. “Do you believe it now!”
Jacqueline Madan responded almost subconsciously, grabbing Wen Xinya’s mobile phone. “Miss Wen, I have apologized to you publicly. Please delete the recording.”
Her face was panic-stricken, and she regretted crossing Wen Xinya.
In front of her, Wen Xinya pressed the delete key. “I’m not an aggressive person, I just recorded the conversation because there is an old saying in Country Z that it’s necessary to have a harmless heart, but it’s necessary to be on the defense. Miss Madan was hostile to me, so naturally, I needed to be prepared.”
Wen Xinya put her mobile phone back in her bag and looked at Jacqueline Madan lightly with her clear and brilliant eyes.
Jacqueline Madan did not expect Wen Xinya to delete the recording so easily. Looking at her bright and clean appearance, she could not help but feel conflicted and shameful.
She did not know how to face Wen Xinya, because if it were not for Wen Xinya who took out the recording, the matter would not be solved so easily.
Wen Xinya slowly approached Jacqueline Madan, looking directly into her eyes. “I don’t want to pursue this matter anymore, but I have a sentence for you. A doctrine the people in Country Z have always believed in was that, If no one crosses me, I don’t commit a crime, if no one commits crimes, the world is at peace. Peace is precious, and all beings are blessed, but if anyone violates me, I will commit a crime!”
Her cold voice, with a sharp tone, made Jacqueline Madan a little confused and speechless for a while.
Wen Xinya asked faintly, “Do you know what this sentence means?”
Jacqueline Madan shook her head subconsciously. “I don’t know!”
Wen Xinya explained, “This sentence means that if people don’t offend me, I won’t offend others. If everyone doesn’t take the initiative to offend others, then the world will be peaceful, and everyone will live in peace, everyone’s blessed. But if someone offends me, I will definitely fight back.”
She then turned around and left.
Only Jacqueline Madan looked at the back of Wen Xinya as she departed, clearly knowing how powerful this girl was!
