Chapter 386


    "This model..." Derek said slowly.


    Easton was immediately rmed, "What do you want to do? This is a gift from grandpa. You can''t take


    it."


    "I can promise you, but on the condition that you have to report to me if you do such things again."


    The little guy pursed his lips, "If I tell you, will you let me do it?"


    Derek raised his eyebrow, "Why not?"


    The little guy was surprised.


    Damian was not surprised. This Judy had insulted Miss Gray a few days ago. Given the boss''s attitude


    toward Miss Gray, how could the boss spare Judy?


    Besides, considering how protective the boss was, what Little Young Master did could only be


    considered a small trick.


    There was still a week. Judy, who had been greatly frightened, had no time or energy to cause others


    trouble.


    Nora did not know the truth about the dy, but when she heard the news, she was undeniably


    relieved.


    As Derek said, it was good to have more time to prepare.


    This week, Derek prepared a lot ofpetition and exhibition videos of the early works of prominent

    designers for her.


    Designs came from life and inspiration, and there was no need to learn from others in this aspect.


    What Derek wanted her to learn were the finer elements and techniques that could be added to her


    designs.


    Seven days passed, and soon it was time for both sides topete.


    During this period of time, Judy had adjusted her mindset, and the frightening memories a few days


    ago had less impact on her.


    But she still felt uneasy about it.


    It could be said that as long as she did not have a reasonable exnation for what happened that


    night, she would not be able to convince herself that everything that happened that night was fake, and


    thus she could not truly get rid of this fear.


    Thepetition, which wasunched by the Xavier Group, was not only broadcast live at the request


    of the Horton Family but also invited several major domestic art design newspapers and entertainment


    media giants.


    Although there were not many people, every one of them was a big shot.


    This time, the sponsor was the Xaviers. Everyone in the country knew what this meant, so no one


    would reject this invitation.


    Since it was already open to the outside world, Derek simply publicized this matter on arger scale,


    directly broadcast thepetition live in front of the huge screens of the headquarters of Xavier Group


    in D City and its domestic and international branches.


    And he arrangedmentators on the official website.


    The Department of Public Rtions was watching all kinds ofments on the Inte about the


    opinion.


    The reason whymentators were arranged was that the famous clothing design family, the Hortons


    of M Country, would cooperate with the Xaviers of H Country.


    At the same time, the Horton Family challenged the designers of the Xaviers topete with them to


    verify that the designers of H Country were no match for them and could not survive in the international


    market.


    Nora''s sensitive identity, coupled with her giarism incident a while ago, and the fact that in the


    design world, her reputation really could not bepared to the Judy Horton all put her in a


    disadvantaged position.


    Derek had to use every opportunity to guide the public opinion.


    Changing the nature of thepetition to Nora was to protect the H Country design pce, so he had


    no choice but to ept the Horton Family''s purposefulpetition.


    This kind of guidance, of course, could not be detected in advance by the Horton Family, but could only


    be operated at the beginning of thepetition.


    In the huge studio, so many audience seats were empty. This was an internal evaluation, and it was a


    live broadcast, so the audience was not needed.


    The members of the Xaviers and the Horton Family sat in the front row of the audience, two rows left


    and right.


    The first row was reserved for the judges.


    Today, six judges from the fashion industry would be invited to give a fair review, three from the Xaviers


    and three from the Horton Family.


    Although both parties invited the judges, they were internationally renowned fashion bigwigs, so there


    was no such thing as favoritism.


    In order to make thepetition fair and impartial, the scene was also adopted in an open manner.


    The design rooms of the designers on both sides of the stage was on the left and right sides, and the


    design process was clearly visible.


    Because of the time limit, each designer could bring two design assistants.


    Although the Xaviers was the one to specify the rules, since one of the contestants was a member of


    the Xaviers, any possibility of leaking the topic should be eliminated.


    Therefore, the rules of the Xavierspetition needed to be discussed and designated with several


    judges on the same day, and the final decision would only be reached after a consensus is reached.


    At this point, although Horton was not particrly satisfied, he had no other choices, unless they did


    not want Nora to be thepetitor.


    Backstage.


    Nora''s heart pounded as she looked at the six judges sitting under the curtain. None of these designers


    was strange to her.


    They could only be seen at design shows or magazines, and now they were right in front of her and


    would personallyment on their resultster.


    Thinking of this, Nora felt so excited that she almost fainted.


    Of course, she couldn''t faint. She had topeteter.


    "What should I do? Derek, I, I''m so nervous. My hands are shaking." Nora held her hand tightly and


    was at a loss.


    Derek frowned without being noticed. Nora''s design ability and talent were not a problem, but she had


    little experience inpetitions.


    It all boiled down to thepany Nora worked for before.


    In a smallpany like the SPECTER Group, and with Sheldon''s secret operations, Nora''s talent was


    used to help others.


    She herself was like a pearl covered in dust, nestled in such a small ce, and had no chance to


    participate in all kinds ofpetitions.


    Today was her first step, and nervousness was inevitable.


    Derek hugged her and gently patted her on the back, "Nora, do you remember what you said about


    your dream? I hope one day I can stand on a higher stage and shine and show my design concept to


    more people."


    "Now is a good opportunity. This is your first time. Although there is no audience, there are tens of


    millions of people outside the world watching thispetition. These judges are also internationally


    renowned figures."


    "Today, as long as you get their approval, you are one step closer to your dream. You must seize this


    opportunity."


    Nora''s mood, as he said, had not been much calmed down, but the uneasiness and tension in it was


    slowly dissipating.
