    Chapter 53 The Four Gentlemen of the Seasons


    L smiled at the host and nodded. “I’m fine.” Then, she bowed and greeted everybody in all directions


    before finally turning her gaze to Cam, shouting in a pitiful voice, “Cam, please let me finish taking


    part in thispetition. If there’s a problem, we can go home and talk, okay?” Cam red at her with


    a cold expression. “Now, you want to go back and talk? When you stole my designs, why didn’t you say


    anything to me then?” After that, the entire venue fell into an uproar. Before they could even understand


    what was going on, or whether there would be any unfairness in a situation where one sister was taking


    part in thepetition while the other was a member of the judges, the elder sister revealed that the


    younger sister had giarized her work!


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    What?! These stories are turning out to be more shocking than the next! Meanwhile, the sponsors


    whispered among themselves, “This is interesting! A participant stole the designs of one of the judges?”


    “That’s impossible! Who would dare to be so fearless?” “Well, it can’t be that the judge is lying, right?”


    “Don’t you think the injuries on that designer seem strange? In my opinion, there’s probably something


    else going on behind the scenes.”


    Their voices were not soft, and Ss could hear them very clearly. Thus, he looked back at them and


    said faintly, “The participant giarized those designs!” Those people nced at each other. Ss Nn


    is speaking to us!


    Normally, there was no chance for them to even make contact with him. Now that they had a ready-made


    topic in front of them, somebody trying to weasel a rtionship with him immediately leaned over and


    asked, “President Nn, do you know something?”


    “I saw these designs a long time ago,” he replied. Xavier raised his brows secretly. It looks like the


    president favors Miss Brooklyn quite a lot. I can’t believe he couldn’t even bear listening to a few


    comments from the people surrounding him. Since when has he ever been this chatty before? The


    audience was buzzing, and the situation on the stage was also at a stalemate. “Cam-” L’s tears


    flowed freely without saying another word; she looked extremely pitiful. “Please don’t try to stop me


    anymore. For the sake of this grandpetition, I’ve been working my butt off since September. All


    these years, I’ve always done whatever you asked me to. I’m begging you; please listen to me this time!”


    Cam pointed at the models and sneered, “Are you sure these are the designs youbored over since


    September?” L nodded. “Of course. The staff at my studio can testify for me. Also, the judges of this


    grandpetition are my witnesses too. They chose my designs out of thousands of others!” The


    audience began whispering among themselves again. “Why wouldn’t Cam allow L to enter the


    competition?”


    “Maybe she’s afraid of her sister threatening her position.”


    “Who is this Cam Brooklyn anyway? I’ve never heard of her.” “I’ve never heard of her either. She


    probably came here because she couldn’t survive on her own anymore.” “I remember back when the


    grandpetition was promoting itself; didn’t they say they sessfully invited the world-renowned


    fashion designer, Angel?” “Who knows? It was probably a marketing gimmick!” At the same time, Cam


    stared at L. Then, a wicked smile tugged at the corners of her mouth as she slowly took a seat. “Fine.


    Then, please exin to me the concept behind your designs; tell me what inspired you as well as the


    original motivation behind your collection!” L saw Cam sitting down, and her heart rxed slightly.


    She had done a lot of preparation for these questions-so much so that she could recite them fluently


    from memory. Pointing to the outfit the model was wearing, she exined, “The plum blossom, the


    orchid, the bamboo, and the chrysanthemum are referred to as the ‘Four Gentlemen of the Seasons’ in


    traditional art. They have long been symbols of the feelings and ambitions of this country’s people,


    representing their fascination for the highest level of mankind’s character and nature. The plum blossom


    is graceful and proud, blooming in winter; the orchid is elegant, ethereal, and noble; the bamboo is


    modest, humble, and tenacious; the chrysanthemum is cold, chaste, simple, and elegant. They carry the


    same theme-uprightness, purity, humility, and perseverance against harsh conditions. They are loved by


    all. Therefore, I wanted to convey my personal respect for them through my designs.” Cam nodded,


    laughing. “You did your homework. That design concept must have taken a lot of Googling on your part,


    huh?”
