A Decade to Brew True Love - Episode 9

At a Sharp family banquet, designer Annabelle is publicly accused by Miss Sharp and industry peers of plagiarizing Miss Sharp's design. Guests question Annabelle's ties to Fletcher and Mr. Gordon, implying favoritism and even an affair, while companies declare they won't work with her. Annabelle insists similarity isn't proof, but the crowd demands evidence and Fletcher's support proves limited. Xavier steps in and offers a conditional deal: give in and he'll share part of a project he's acquiring. The episode ends with Annabelle forced to choose - accept Xavier's terms or fight to clear her name.
