    Hence, Noel confidently waited for Cordy to present her designs.


    In fact, Noel was convinced that she might not have to scheme against Cordy to beat Cordy this.


    time.


    Just then, the crowd was apuding, and Noel turned to find Cordy stepping onstage.


    Mandy was still in the backstage changing room, so the crowd was rtively calm.


    After a few minutes, the curtains opened, and the crowd was once again roaring in approval as Mandy


    arrived on stage, once again stealing the limelight.


    It was a red gown, covered from top to bottom with bright red roses, and yet showing no vulgarity. Not


    only was it fresh and novel, but it was also stunningly attractive.


    Noel’s design only had amplified aesthetics, and any audience would only admire its elegance from


    afar. On the other hand, they would have a pressing need to possess the gown Cordy designed, so that


    they could put it on and wow the crowd.


    Naturally, Cordy’s design was far more breathtaking, and Noel had already expected that.


    To be precise, she had arranged for it.


    As she turned to nce at Mandy, Mandy returned her gaze.


    From others’ perspective, it would just be a normal eye contact between close friends.


    Only they themselves knew that their cunning n had just seeded.


    Meanwhile, Cordy was pursing his lips as he stared at the perfect gown Mandy was wearing, just as


    she could feel the audience’s delight upon seeing it.


    If there were no other surprises, she would be the winner.


    But in reality, the gown Mandy was wearing… was not the one she designed.


    She had been helping Mandy put on the gown she designed in the dressing room, and once that was


    done, she left and headed to the stage first, as it was in the script.


    However, Cordy immediately sensed trouble after Mandy still noting out despite her waiting for


    minutes.


    But she could not return inside aftering out.


    What she predicted was Mandy sabotaging the gown, and anticipating that, she would sew it back up


    while saying Mandy identally ruined it. It would just be a few marks deducted at worst, with nothing


    affecting the oue at all.


    She just did not expect Mandy to change into another dress entirely right in the open.


    This had to be nned beforehand too, and not something they put together hastily-the gown Mandy


    was wearing now must have been secretly brought backstage. Then, after Cordy left, one


    of the assistants would help Mandy get changed.


    It was a bold theory, but the switcheroo was very likely since there were no cameras in the dressing


    room!


    Even so, Cordy kept a stiff upper lip.


    Remaining calm as ever, she realized that the dress she designed would have been taken away by the


    backstage crew set in ce by now.


    She would have no evidence even if she wanted to expose the plot against her, not to mention that the


    designers had done their work in an enclosed room from the very start!


    There may have been adjudicators in the room with her, but it went without saying that Kyle had


    already bribed them.


    She had been so wary of Noel and Kyle for so many rounds… only to fall for their trap at the end!

    As crackers popped and confetti rained, Noel walked up to Cordy and gave her a warm hug. appearing
