Chapter 117
All but the first three rankings were fully revealed, among them were Becky Hills and Emma Clay.
Becky, who was prepared to win, glanced at Emma proudly. It did not matter if they were within the top three ranks, she would ultimately be the champion.
Leah stood at the back, waiting silently.
“Next, is the birth of our champion and runner-up!” The host said energetically, instantly attracting everyone’s attention, “I announce that the champion of this week’s fashion show is-”
A triumphant smile appeared at the corner of her lips, she thought to herself, Becky Hills.
“Emma Clay!” The host’s voice echoed as she was thinking excitingly in her thoughts.
“Let’s give a round of applause to Emma for winning this week’s fashion week. We will now present her with her reward which includes an opportunity of signing into a modeling agency under Howard agency.”
Bursts of loud applause were heard while Leah was smiling gratified backstage.
She was rooting for Emma from the very beginning, she had high hopes for her.
“How was it possible? How could she be the champion? Are you mistaken?” Her loud voice can be heard through the microphone considering that she was near the host. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
The host was completely dumbfounded by her statement. “No, all our data is strictly reviewed by the organizers. There won’t be any mistakes,” She smiled.
“Why am I not the champion?” She snapped.
The audience below frowned as they stared at her in confusion.
Becky noticed the unusual silence surrounding her and realized that she might have offended the audience. she panicked and tried to change the subject rapidly, “Oh, I just remembered that Emma’s dress was originally damaged therefore she arbitrarily modified the dress and added some embroidery on it. Logically speaking, she should’ve been disqualified.”
“How did you know about this?” Emma asked.
Previously Leah feared that others might use this information against her and therefore warned her not to tell anyone, so no one else should know about this.
“Emma and her designer modified the dress without authorization, they should be disqualified.” She continued.
The judges below looked at each other in dismay.
“Is this true?” Someone asked.
“Of course, I would never lie”
The judges gathered around to discuss and asked after half a minute, “Please ask Emma’s Jewelry designer to come forward.”
Leah sighed briefly backstage and walked forward amid the suspicious gazes of everyone.
As all of this unfolded, Han grew more and more impatient. Therefore as they were asking Leah to step out, Han stood up and left regardless of how hard Assistant Ben tried to convince him.
It was quite difficult for him to walk through the crowd. He walked towards the exit expressionlessly as the voice of the host protruded behind him. “You are Emma’s Jewelry designer?”
“Well.”
“What is your name?” The host asked politely.
As Han was about to exit through the door, a clear voice was heard from the microphone, “I’m Cindy, Emma’s Jewelry designer. I came up with the embroidery design for her dress.”
Han stopped in his tracks upon hearing this.
Becky’s smirk grew more intense on stage.
The audience turned their heads in disbelief and scanned her from head to toe.
Han stood by the entrance, the lights were dim. At that moment, the stage lights were shining on Leah making her look extremely dazzling. Her gentle and beautiful features along with her fair skin. She wore a long aqua-blue dress which made her look both soft and attractive.
Her face… isn’t she the woman that appeared in my dreams? He stood in the dark as his eyes deepened.
She is Cindy? Becky was horrified at the news. She didn’t expect that the young designer whom she looked down upon was Leah Murray. She even attempted to humiliate her.
“It turned out to be Miss Cindy, the young and most promising Jewelry designer in Melville. It is an honor to have you here Miss Cindy.” An earnest smile appeared on the host’s face instantly.
There were a lot of rumors surrounding Leah in her career. It was mostly due to her abilities but part of it was her background. Her grandfather was a well-known investor from Melville. Adding that she was both young and successful.
“She looks gorgeous!”
“I know she was famous and all but I didn’t know that she was this young.”
Even the judges stood and looked at her with modesty.
She shook her head, “I came up with the idea of embroidery on that dress. I couldn’t think of any other way to save the dress when the incident happened.”
“Oh, so you embroidered that peony?”
“I think that it adds a nice touch to the dress.”
“I remembered that there isn’t a rule stating that the dresses can’t be modified. As long as it’s within the concept, small changes are acceptable.”
“Exactly.”
Becky clenched her hands slowly as the judges complimented the dress. If this goes on, Emma would still be the winner.
“No,” Becky interrupted. “Emma Clay damaged the dress, this should be a serious offense. We can’t just brush it off because of external reasons, right?” She said vaguely while dodging Leah’s Gaze.
