Chapter 601: It was no secret—any adaptation of her was bound to be a hit, and this year, Peaks of Eternity was expected to carry on that tradition of success.
But Sloane's revelation sent ripples of suspicion through Snowpear's fanbase, who now flooded the chat with their indignation.

"Let's get the facts straight first. Snowpear's fans are cultured, and we'll make sure any plagiarist gets what's coming. At the stime, we can't rush to judgment without proof!" As the chat descended into a frenzy, the air at the awards ceremony grew tense. Celebrities whispered among themselves, their shock evident. Meanwhile, Sloane fixed her gaze on Khloe, her expression laced with mockery, her eyes gleaming with smug determination.
Tonight was her moment. She intended to grind Khloe into the ground and reclaim what was rightfully hers. This time, she would ensure Khloe had no hope of bouncing back.
Khloe caught the glint of emotion in Sloane's eyes. Her brows rose sharply as she met her gaze. Her voice was icy, each word deliberate. "What exactly are you trying to say?" A flicker of triumph danced across Sloane's face. She hadn't expected Khloe to walk straight into her trap. Did Khloe truly think she lacked the evidence to bury her? Amusement danced behind Sloane's eyes, though her expression carried the weight of righteous indignation. Her voice cut through the tension, cold and unwavering. "What I'm saying is simple: you stole the copyright for Peaks of Eternity. The only reason you becthe screenwriter for the project is because you pilfered and plagiarized the hard work and creativity of others." The host, visibly startled by the unexpected turn of events, scrambled to regain control of the situation. "Sloane, are you sure about this? The Top Award prides itself on being transparent, fair, and impartial. There's no room for shady dealings here!" Sloane's expression softened into a polite smile, though her tone retained a pointed edge. "I'm well aware of its integrity. My concern isn't with the Top Award itself but with Khloe's unworthiness of receiving the Best Screenwriter." Sloane's accusations had been laser-focused on Khloe from the beginning.
The host hesitated, realizing that such claims indirectly questioned the credibility of the event's judging process. Yet, adhering to her professionalism, she avoided a direct confrontation. "Unless you have irrefutable proof, making such claims could be considered slander. Khloe has every right to pursue legal action against you." With the event being broadcast live, every word spoken becevidence, making the implications of Sloane's accusations all the more precarious.
Among the celebrity guests, an air of relief began to spread. While many secretly hoped for more , the notion of tarnishing the awards' reputation unsettled them. After all, if the event's credibility was undermined, every accolade handed out in the past would be called into question.
Meanwhile, in the live broadcast chat, Sloane's supporters wasted no tin expressing their outrage. "What does the host even mean by this? Is she trying to intimidate Sloane?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Exactly! Sloane made it clear that her issue is with Khloe and no one else. Besides, she's not the type to n make baseless accusations!"
"Can you believe this host? People were praising her hosting skills m earlier, but now it's obvious she's a complete amateur!"
Sloane ignored the host's attempt to defuse the situation. Her gaze locked onto Khloe, and her lips curled into a chilling smirk. "Khloe, are youstim denying everything? Letremind you—plagiarizing and stealing someone's work isn't just unethical, it's a crime. Violating copyright law can land you in jail. And let's not forget, fraudulently obtaining the rights to Peaks of Eternity for profit makes you a criminal twice over." A faint smile tugged at the corners of Khloe's mouth.
