points!

points!

...

points!

The five judges—every single one of them—gave a 10!

Shannon Everett saw the glaring score, and her fingers, hanging at her side, balled into a tight fist, clutching the fabric of her clothes.

She had clearly... drenched Sienna Everett’s design sketch with water.

’That bitch, Sienna Everett, still managed to get such a high score!’

Shannon Everett trembled with rage. ’Why... why can’t I ever measure up to Sienna Everett in anything?!’

Seeing the judges’ scores, a quick-witted reporter in the audience immediately shouted in excitement:

"10 points! Sienna Everett’s score is higher than Eric’s! That means Sienna Everett beat Eric! This time, Team Celestria has defeated the foreign team!"

The foreign designers who had been so sure of Eric’s victory and had congratulated him in advance now felt as if they had been viciously slapped across the face, a hot, stinging pain.

The Celestria designers in the audience, who had been looked down upon by Eric for so long, could finally hold their heads high:

"A well-deserved win! Sienna Everett is incredible! Wasn’t that Eric so cocky and arrogant? Let’s see what he has to be arrogant about now!"

"I thought Shannon Everett was our last hope, but it turns out it was Sienna Everett all along!"

"Ugh, I looked down on Sienna Everett before. I’m so ashamed... How can Shannon Everett be called a rising genius designer? Sienna Everett is the real deal!"

In the crowd, Mason Everett’s face turned ashen as he watched the scene unfold, his chest heaving violently with rage.

’Sienna Everett, Sienna Everett, it’s always Sienna Everett!’

’Nothing made him sicker than seeing Sienna Everett being praised!’

’He thought Shannon Everett would be the one everyone was grateful for this time, that she would restore the Everett Family’s reputation. He never imagined it would all benefit that jinx, Sienna Everett!’

According to the competition’s rules, since Sienna Everett had beaten Eric, the foreign team’s second designer was next to challenge her.

As it turned out, the second designer’s work was even worse than Eric’s.

Sienna Everett sat languidly in her chair, tapping her knuckles on the armrest. With an air of casual indifference, she said, her red lips curling slightly, "Is that all? Next."

The designer was furious, but he couldn’t refute her. His design truly was no match for Sienna Everett’s.

From designer number two to designer number five, four people in a row, all of them lost to Sienna Everett.

Seeing this familiar scene, the Celestria designers and reporters in the audience couldn’t have felt more refreshed and vindicated!

"Oh my, who was it that was looking down on us Celestria designers just now? And who is it that just lost four in a row? Oh, it’s Eric and his useless teammates, HAHAHAHA!"

It was a soul-crushing blow, and it felt unbelievably good.

Now it was the foreign team’s sixth designer’s turn to challenge Sienna Everett. His design was displayed, receiving a score of 9.3.

At this point, all six designers from the foreign team had lost to Sienna Everett alone.

Sienna Everett raised an eyebrow slightly, leaning back in her chair. She looked at the arrogant and conceited Eric and threw his own words right back at him—

"It seems foreign designers aren’t all that special after all."

With her red lips, pale skin, and stunning features, contempt and nonchalance were written in the corners of her eyes and the arch of her brows. Her beauty was audacious and eye-catching!

The reporters and designers in the audience looked at Sienna Everett, who projected the aura of a boss single-handedly cornering a group of six, and their eyes practically shone with admiration.

She was just... so incredibly cool!

This Sienna Everett, she had turned the tables all by herself, winning back all the face Team Celestria had lost!

And she had crushed the arrogant, condescending Eric so thoroughly that he had no way to fight back!

However, it wasn’t over yet.

Sienna Everett rose from her chair. Her breathtakingly beautiful face was cold and expressionless, her gaze clear and indifferent as she looked at Eric.

"Since you have no idea how to respect the people of Celestria, this design conference has no need to respect you either."

"The exit is right behind you. Get out!"

Eric stood stunned for several seconds before it registered: Sienna Everett was kicking them out!

Being kicked out in front of everyone...

There was nothing more humiliating!

Eric’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot as he roared in fury and embarrassment:

"This design conference is sponsored by the Valenti Fashion Association! Kian is the President of the Valenti Fashion Association, and she isn’t even here! Sienna Everett, what right do you have to kick us out!"

Hearing this, Sienna Everett let out a light laugh, her voice as crisp and clear as striking ice against jade. "Evan Shelby, come here."

A smile playing on his lips, Evan Shelby walked onto the stage, his blue eyes glinting with a sharp, cold light. "Eric, Kian just contacted me. Regarding your behavior, Kian has only one word for you: Scram."

Evan Shelby was the other founder of G.Y. and also the Vice President of the Valenti Fashion Association. When he said this, no one dared to doubt him.

Evan Shelby gave a stylish snap of his fingers, summoning the venue’s security guards.

The guards received their orders and unceremoniously threw Eric and all of his teammates out.

The reporters and designers below erupted in cheers at the sight. It was so satisfying, so cathartic!

’This Sienna Everett... she’s actually so tough...’

’And Kian, just telling Eric to scram with a single word. That was so cool!’

A reporter couldn’t help but look up at Evan Shelby on the stage and ask, "Mr. Shelby, there are rumors that Kian will be attending this design conference. Is she really coming?!"

Evan Shelby glanced at Sienna Everett, who was beside him.

Sienna Everett gave him a slight nod.

Receiving the signal, Evan Shelby first shot a dangerous smile toward Mason Everett in the crowd before answering the reporter’s question:

"That’s right. Kian will be attending this conference."

"Everyone, this design conference will last for two days. At tomorrow’s fashion gala, Kian will make a public appearance!"

The moment his voice fell, the vast venue exploded into an uproar.

"Did I hear that right? Kian is really here! And she’s going to make a public appearance at the gala tomorrow! This is amazing!"

The reporters’ hearts pounded with excitement. They immediately broadcast this explosive news, along with the events of today’s design conference, onto the internet.

The name Kian was simply too famous.

Even netizens who knew nothing about fashion design had heard of her.

Kian was a legend in the design world and a native of Celestria. Now that she was going to make a public appearance tomorrow, netizens were naturally thrilled with anticipation.

On top of that, netizens were stunned to see that Sienna Everett had defeated Eric using a water-damaged design sketch.

’Sienna Everett knows fashion design, too?’

’And she’s that good at it?’

’Oh my god, what a hidden gem of a girl!’

Amidst the flood of amazed comments, some netizens noticed something was off:

[Sienna Everett’s design sketch was splashed with water by Shannon Everett. Shannon did that on purpose, right? She intentionally knocked over the water bottle, didn’t she?]
