    “Our distinguished guest, Mr. Sanchez, has arrived at our tournament without any prior notice.


    Contestants, are you feeling a little nervous now?!” The host’s excited voice sounded, and everyone


    came back to their senses,


    Hesper looked at herself nervously, worried that something might look wrong with her.


    ‘Oh my God, I’m not only nervous but also shocked.”


    Roberto had always been rtively kind. He was born in Fredonia and grew up amidst the country’s


    unique romantic atmosphere, which made his emerald eyes look exceptionally gentle. At this time, he


    looked at the designers sitting in the auditorium, and even his eyes were beaming with delight.


    “I believe that every one of you will perform well, so don’t be nervous.”


    After saying a few words, Roberto left the stage to the host.


    Celine was also a little excited. Roberto was a legendary mission of the fashion design field that all


    designers wished to ovee andplete at least once in their lifetimes. When it was originally


    reported that Roberto was going to coborate with Lane Holdings, many people did not believe it at


    first, but Roberto was really there today.


    “Perhaps the president of Lane Holdings knows Roberto? Both of them should belong to the same


    social ss, right?”


    The twodies sitting in the front row were discussing, and the other quickly answered, “Don’t you


    know that contestant number 3 is Shawn Lane? He’s one of the Lanes. I heard that he’s very close with


    the president of Lane Holdings, so he knows everything about thepany!”


    “Ah? Are you telling me that some shady deals are going on here? If he knows what every round of the


    and square one. I didn’t expect someone to be building a plot here.”


    “Hey, just how na?ve can you be? If you were to ask me, Hesper and Michelle are both going to be


    turned into stepping stones at the end of the tournament. Lane Holdings might even have organized


    this tournament only to push their personal favorite into the limelight.”


    “I see…”


    They were sitting not far away, so both Celine and Hesper heard their conversation. Celine blinked and


    said nothing, but Hesper’s mind was flooded with questions in an instant.


    N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    ‘Since when did Matthew have such a rtive and friend?’


    ‘It’s impossible for Matthew to tell others about the details of thepetition that even I don’t know


    about… If I’m not mistaken, the Shawn Lane that they mentioned is a total fraud.”


    Before Hesper went to Emperion and joined the Lanes as Rachael Lane, she had memorized the


    whole family tree of the Lanes. She was sure that she did not see such a name on the diagram.


    In order to search for contestant number 3 in the crowd, Hesper looked around for a while before


    locating the man.


    ‘He doesn’t look too old, but the lie that he’s been spreading around is very well made up, and it’s only


    spread among a very small group of people. If it wasn’t for what I heard from the twodies earlier, I


    might not ever know about this information even after going through the wholepetition.”


    On the other side of the auditorium, it was already dress number 5’s turn to step onto the catwalk.


    ntestant number 5 was Celine, so Hesper immediately shifted her gaze back onto the runway.


    Looking at Celine’s rxed appearance, Hesper knew that this round was just a walk in the park for


    her. Celine’s design ideas had always been very strong and plump and her hands-on ability was top-


    notch too, so Hesper had never worried about her at all.


    Sure enough, none of the designs of the first four contestants actually gave Roberto the urge to open


    his mouth toment, but when it was Celine’s turn, she got some tiny suggestions from him.


    After being told that she had scored the highest score so far, Celine, who had always kept a very low


    profile, felt the limelight being fixed on her for the very first time. And when she went back to her seat


    and sat down right next to Hesper, she still looked a little shy.


    “There’s still much to be corrected…” Roberto’s suggestion from minutes ago really hit the nail on the


    head, and Celine had never felt that she was so clearly aware of her own shorings before.


    “You’re superb!” Hesper grasped Celine’s hands, and her slightly yful look was coincidentally


    recorded by one of the cameras.


    Roberto saw Hesper’s vivid expression through the live broadcast that was being projected on one of


    the walls in the auditorium and thought of his meeting with Nathaniel where he brought his fiancée up.


    ‘So this is the legendary Ms. Rivera. I must say, she’s considered a very gorgeousdy even by


    Fredonian. aesthetics.’
