Chapter 448 Turning the Tide! Oveing Adversity
“I’m almost there. We’ll talk when we meet.”
As Cecelia answered the call, she was already making her way into the backstage area with a group of
models and designer Vencent Beck.
Upon seeing Cecelia, Morgan hurriedly called out to her, “Miss Linsey…”
But when he saw the green hand designer, Vencent, and the models who stood behind Cecelia, all
done up in makeup, he was perplexed. “They…”
“Calm down, Morgan. We’re facing an urgent situation. Our ‘Golden Years’ design theme is suspected
to have been leaked, so I’ve decided to use Vencent’s designs for this show.”
Cecelia immediately instructed her entourage, “You guys, Morgane the theme version right away!”
“Yes!”
Her team quickly got to work.
“Vencent, you need to get ready to go on stage!”
“Understood!”
With only a minute to go before the show, dozens of models were waiting at the entrance to the
runway. Vencent was making somest-minute adjustments to their makeup.
Originally, Morgan, who should have been the center of attention, found himself sidelined. He was
dissatisfied with this turn of events.
“Miss Linsey, since you chose Vencent’s designs at thest minute, what should I do with mine now?
Today was supposed to be the main showcase for my designs!”
“Morgan, I understand your frustration, but you should also be aware that our design theme has been
leaked. Taylor Group jumped the gun with their new product presentation. If we had gone ahead as
nned, we would have been used of giarism.”
Cecelia tried to soothe Morgan’s emotions, “Don’t be too upset. We will investigate this matter after the
show ends. You will have more opportunities to showcase your designs in the future.”
Although Morgan was not pleased, he had no choice but to prioritize the bigger picture.
But deep down, he was still frustrated. He had worked tirelessly, only for Vencent to swoop in at thest
minute, taking full advantage. Who could stand such a situation?
He was eager to know how his designs had been leaked and who was responsible.
At the fashion show, the massive advertising screen quickly switched from disying “Golden Years” to
“Legends of the Mountains and Seas.”
The theme music was changed to something more ancient in style, and the atmosphere and lighting
were promptly adjusted.
The guests and reporters in the audience, having seen the news earlier, suspected that this had
something to do with Taylor Group’s fashion show. However, even if the Tangerine Group had Changed
the name of the fashion show at thest minute, it was doubtful they could proceed with their designs
intact.
The voice-over narrator began the introduction, and the “Legends of the Mountains and Seas” fashion
show officially began.
The first model walked out from the runway entrance, showcasing a unique and captivating design, like
a throwback.
It was clear to anyone who had seen the news earlier that these outfits were entirely different from
Taylor Group’s new products.
This was an entirely new collection!
It embodied elements from ancient Eastern myths, featuring bold and intricate designs that
incorporated patterns of ancient mythical creatures. The designs were stunning and exquisite, evoking
the feeling of ancient legendsing to life.
As one model after another walked down the runway, it felt like the mythical creatures hade alive.
It was like a dynamic ancient painting unfolding before everyone’s eyes, leaving them in awe.
Reporters and fashion icons in the audience took photos, and there was widespread praise for these
refreshing creations.
Backstage, Cecelia and Cynthia watched the live-screen broadcast and breathed a sigh of relief.
“Cecelia, I must admire your forward-thinking intelligence!”
Cynthia was deeply impressed by Cecelia’s quick thinking, believing she was incredibly talented.

She had asked Cynthia to prepare two teams of models in advance, just in case.
“Did you anticipate that Taylor Group might jump the gun with their fashion show and that their designs
might sh with yours, which is why you prepared this second n?”
“That’s right! I had a hunch about it the moment they announced their new product presentation on the
same day as us. Petunia Taylor’s targeting of me was too obvious.”
“But what I’m curious about is how your design theme ended up being the same as theirs,” Cynthia
couldn’t fathom which step had gone wrong.
Cecelia’s eyes were sharp and wise. “We will find out eventually.”
Twenty minutester, the “Legends of the Mountains and Seas” new productunch event concluded.
Chief designer Vencent Beck took all the models on stage, receiving flowers and apuse from the
entire audience. The media’s focus was on him.
After today, this rtively unknown new designer has suddenly be a star and the biggest
winner.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
In his closing statement, he thanked his boss for the guidance she provided in his design proposal,
enabling this series to achieve such perfection and sess.
He was right; without Cecelia’s guidance on his design proposal, the collection would not have been as
perfect and sessful.
Following the fashion show, Cynthia sent her model team to leave, and the remaining backstage work
would be taken care of by the staff.
Next, Tangerine Group would host a celebratory dinner at the Celestial Hotel. Cecelia and her group
went there, inviting the guests in attendance. Everyone moved to the hotel.
Vencent neatly packed everything, cing each outfit carefully, and handed them over to the staff to
transport back.
He was about to leave when Morgan intercepted him backstage.
Without a word, Morgan delivered a punch to his face, causing Vencent to step back, bumping into the
wall.
“What are you doing, Morgan?”
“What do you think you’re doing?”
Losing hisposure, Morgan angrily questioned, “Did you leak my design? And now your design is
recing mine as nned, right? You’re just sitting there reaping the rewards, aren’t you?”
“No! I didn’t do that! If your design was leaked, you should ask yourself about it. The reason I got
selected was that Miss Linsey used my design to create a second backup. If yours hadn’t been
compromised, I wouldn’t have had a chance to step onto the stage today.”
Vencent exined with a serious expression.
“Do you think I’ll buy that nonsense? Do you think I didn’t notice what is between you and Miss Linsey?
You’re just a bootlicker! These honors were supposed to be mine! You have stolen them, bootlicker! It’s
disgusting!”
“Morgan, you’ve misunderstood! What between me and Miss Linsey is clean. She’s just my boss, and
I’m her subordinate…”
“Stop exining. Do you think I’m blind?”
Morgan pushed him away and turned around. In his understanding, he believed that Vencent was
undoubtedly exceptionally skilled at bootlicking, or else he wouldn’t have been called in by Cecelia
alone.
There’s no way such an opportunity would fall into the hands of an inexperienced neer!

At the Celestial Hotel, in the Prosperity Hall.
After concluding the fashion show, Petunia Taylor led her design team to this location for the
celebration.
She chose this location for the celebration because she had heard that Tangerine Group’s celebration
was nned for the next-door Peony Hall.
As they could see, Peony Hall was empty now. Petunia gave a cold smirk, knowing that this time, the
celebratory dinner would be hosted solely by Taylor Group.
Taylor Group’s new product presentation had been highly sessful, and news about their designs
had already been released.
The industry’s response was positive, with everyone praising Taylor Group’s “Golden Years” collection
for being high-end and in tune with the times.
The celebratory dinner had been underway for some time. Petunia summoned her assistant and
inquired, “Our new product presentation went smoothly, and Tangerine Group is scheduled to start half
an hourter. What’s the situation over there? Did they cancel their event?”
Petunia was waiting to see Cecelia’s misfortune!
