Chapter 227


    After getting her agreement, Patrick finally let Gilda leave Frencia.


    Once back in Ath, Gilda’s first task was to visit Draven.


    In Professor’s Office of Ath University.


    Draven was showcasing Gilda’s designs at the fashion show to some students.


    “Professor Olson, the sess of this fashion show is significantly connected to the main designs.”


    Cedric, one of Draven’s students,mented.


    Draven nodded in agreement.


    “Indeed, the designs this time were outstanding. Our department has received several invitations to


    major international shows,” he said.


    “Is that true, professor? Does this mean we might get the chance to attend international shows?”


    another student said, his eyes lighting up.


    “Certainly! But securing this opportunity was no easy feat.


    “Previously, the international fashion scene rejected our work, undermining our abilities, iming we


    couldn’t design for the global fashion stage. But now, we’ve proved our worth,” Draven said.


    “It’s absolutely uplifting.”


    A group of twenty–something students were thrilled.


    One person stood out, his face void of joy, reced by a hint of mockery.


    “This design is in,cks any spark. I wonder what the hype is all about,” he said.


    The room fell silent instantly.


    “What do you mean, Ludas? Are you also unimpressed by our designs?” someone asked.


    Lucas snorted disdainfully.


    “The design quality is significantly inferior to Jane’s. I can’t fathom why you chose her as the lead


    designer for this show,” he said.


    Draven’s expression darkened significantly when he heard Jane’s name.


    As others gradually caught wind of Jane’s situation, they fell silent.

    “Lucas, remain silent if you don’t have a point,” someone said.

    “We all know you admire Jane, but in this instance, Jane clearly made a mistake.


    “We need to be objective instead of blindly favoring someone.”

    Lucas’s expression soured instantly. “What do you all know? What’s wrong with Jane? Isn’t her


    professional capability stronger than Gilda’s? But Professor Olson is biased and doesn’t give her a


    chance!”


    The group exchanged uneasy nces.


    Draven wore a stern expression.


    Just then, Gilda entered the room.


    “Professor Olson!” she called out.


    Draven’s rigid expression softened slightly while seeing her.


    “Gilda, perfect timing. We were discussing your work,” he started.


    The other students spotted Gilda.


    A glimmer of idolization filled their eyes. “Gilda, please take a seat!”


    “Gilda, let me get you some water.”


    “Gilda, you’re my idol. Can I intern at yourpany after I graduate?”


    Greeted by the enthusiasm of the students, Gilda smiled in response. “Absolutely, you’re wee!”


    “Really? That’s fantastic! I’ll surely apply to Glory Corporation right after I graduate.”


    Watching everyone gravitate toward Gilda, Lucas’s mind wandered to Jane, still in prison, feeling


    profoundly unfair.


    In his mind, Gilda merely seized Jane’s fashion show opportunity due to her family background.


    So, sarcastically, he said, “This society is truly a ce where connections matter. People do whatever


    they want just because they have status and background.


    “Some peopleck any real talent, yet seizing someone else’s long–awaited opportunity and


    unabashedly boasting here. Does she truly hold herself in such high regard?”
