Chapter 239
Chapter 239 Victory
The young woman’s dress had undergone a style transformation. The lower part of the dress took on a
mermaid-tail shape, made from folded wine-red curtain cloth, while the upper part was revamped into a
strapless design with added embellishments.
Her elegance had been changed into seductive charm.
Selena was delighted. “I love your design. The victor of the night shall be Christina Steele!”
Of course, if there were winners, there would be losers. Five designers had been asked to quit the
competition teams.
All designers present were stylistic individuals. Some felt that Christina’s design was great, but others
felt that it was just average. Still, no one was going to refute Selena’s choice.
One would think that it was a simple gathering, but as it turned out, it was a trap.
Selena asked the designers to introduce themselves.
“Hello, everyone, I’m Margaret Lester, a designer.”
“My name is Nancy Sallis, and I believe in my capabilities. You’ll have to do your best during the
competition because I’m wonderful at my job. You might end up losing to me.” Right as the two
introduced themselves, they both turned to look at a specific someone.
Christina noticed that their gazes hadnded on her.
Both Margaret and Nancy were the apprentices of a famous designer named Zele. They were also
Christina’s schoolmates, but they were on opposite sides.
Christina’s master was Laurel Shaw, a reputable designer.

Coincidentally, Laurel and Zele were archenemies, and Christina had witnessed firsthand the animosity
Laurel and Zele had for each other.
Therefore, if the two met again, Christina was certain that Laurel and Zele would definitelypete
against each other in the shadows.
After the event, Christina returned to her room to rest despite her growling stomach.
The next morning, the phone rang, and its ringtone woke her.
Once she picked up the call, she heard her master cry out, “Christina, I heard you bumped into Zele’s
apprentices. Did you?”

“Ms. Shaw, aren’t you supposed to be in Bellridge? How did you know what happened on my side?”
Christina queried as she stretched.
Laurel confidently continued, “Of course I’d know. I have my ways! You have to take this opportunity to
crush those two and avenge me!”
Christina paid much attention to the news of the fashion industry, and she had found out a long while
ago that herpetitive master had started another fight overseas.
“I’ll do my best and won’t let you down.”
Laurel had discovered Christina’s talent just as Christina started her course, so Laurel had been
patiently guiding her all this while. Christina felt that she was lucky, too. Other than having a
competitive streak, Laurel was a great master.
When Laurel needed to head overseas for her activities, she had invited Christina along. s,
Christina rejected her because she was worried about leaving her mother alone.
“As expected of my apprentice. I’ve sent you some wonderful tools, so I’ll be waiting for your good
news!”
There was a gleeful smile on Laurel’s face. How could she not be delighted at the thought of how her
apprentice was going to avenge her?
“Of course, Ms. Shaw.”
By the time the call ended, Christina was fully awake. After getting out of bed, Christina led Rayne
downstairs for breakfast.
Rayne was meticulous as she took photos of Christina. “Ms. Steele, I’ll take more photos of you to
upload on your social media ount. I need to update your profile more frequently so that more people
will discover you.”
“Okay, I’ll leave these to you.” Christina was toozy to update her own social media ount. Most of
the time, she would enter the application just to read the news.
Rayne worked hard. She took a lot of photos of Christina, and she was careful when she wrote the
captions for Christina.
Since Christina was pretty and talented, a few of her photos soon caught theizens’ attention.
Once Rayne was done, she eximed, “Look, Ms. Steele! The video of the dress you modifiedst
night. has been uploaded on the tform, and there are almost a million views already! You’re going to
be the next big thing soon.”
Before joining the program, Christina had already found out that the program would make clips of the
show to upload, but she never thought that the staff members would be this quick.
It seemed like Selena had put much effort into the program.
For both Laurel’s and her own sake, Christina could not be careless for the rest of thepetition.
When it was close to the end of breakfast, more people appeared in the dining room.
Upon hearing a few shrieks, the people in the room turned toward the source of the sound. As it turned
out, a few
young men who had been trending recently had appeared.
Are they here to join the show?
The designers would no longer be surprised by anything Selena came up with after what happened the
night before.
Right then, a handsome man abruptly appeared in front of Christina, though his face was preceded by
a rose. “We meet again.”
Half of the man’s face was hidden behind the rose, but Christina still took in the dark color of his eyes,
his defined nose, and his seductive lips curled into a smile.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a demon who came to seduce the people. “Francis,
you’ve recovered?” Christina asked as she looked at his wless face.
He had been severely beaten up by Nathaniel the other time, and she had been sure that he was not
going to recover any time soon.
Francis raised his brows as he uttered in his maic voice, “Not yet. Why don’t you find out for
yourself?”
With that said, he grabbed her hand and ced it on his face.
Rayne’s eyes were bright.
Her heart was pounding, and she could hardly breathe.
The people around her were equally dumbfounded. Isn’t he the best actor? He’s so handsome!
The people had heard that a big shot was going to make an appearance, but they never thought that a
man like Francis would actually appear in their line of sight.
Noticing the gazes of the crowd, Christina blushed and smacked Francis’ hand away before shooting
him a warning re. “We’re in public, so stop that.”
Francis wanted to stop too, but when he saw her flushed checks, he could not help but tease, “But I like
messing with you, my cutie pie.”
Oh my god. Please don’t flirt with me like this!
Christina could even feel the steaming out of her ears. She wondered if Francis was genuinely
unafraid that Nathaniel would pop up and beat him up again.
Meanwhile, Selena was asking the staff to lead the assistants out, leaving behind the designers and
the guests.
“Everyone, do you see the handsome fellows beside you?” Selena asked, beaming confidently.
“Yes!”
The young women were on cloud nine.
The men in the crowd were either fashion models or trending stars, so how could they not be excited?
Their time there was worth it.
Selena then announced, “Now, please utilize your imagination to design a themed attire that fits your
partner. Simr to the previouspetition, five designers will be eliminated this time. Good luck!”
