Chapter 293: A Divine Twist


    Chapter 293: A Divine Twist


    The new format of the contest did not affect Mariana too much, who soon fell into meditation when she


    learned that she was going to design clothes on the theme of environmental protection.


    The contestant who apanied her in the alternative contest was named Selena, a girl with wavy


    curls and an elegant suit.


    -This time, the theme is in your best territory, environmental protection. Be sure to crush it in the round.


    When thepetition began, the first thing that came to Selena''s mind was the long list of things Diana


    had told her yesterday and the amount she had promised her.


    "Mariana? I''m sorry."


    With a smile, Selena scribbled on the paper and soon finished the first draft of the design. It was a


    piece of work she had been thinking about for a long time, but had never submitted, and she was sure


    it would blow all the judges away.


    On the other hand, Mariana was deep in thought.


    "What can I do with an environmental issue?"


    It''s not that she hadn''te across this type of design before, but she hadn''t studied it in depth, so she


    wasn''t very good at it.


    Only this time I couldn''t miss the opportunity.


    As time went on, Selena''s dress was already showing its initial pattern before Mariana finally put pen to


    paper to draw a draft.


    -Please prepare some discarded newspapers for me.


    A few momentster, Mariana made this request.


    The manager was not surprised that this was an eco-friendly design, and quickly fetched a stack of


    newspapers and presented them.


    Mariana took a deep breath and went back to her thoughts. Even beads of sweat appeared at the


    corners of her forehead from the stress.


    Finally, when the contest wasing to an end, Selena had already performed her masterpiece and


    Mariana was about to finish thepetition.


    Selena''s main design was a backless dress made of scraps of red fabric, with arge red stic bag


    decorating the skirt, which somehow had a noble air because of its high-ss design.


    At the waist was a ck stic belt that added a touch of red to the outfit.


    -Design is an art, and artes from life.


    This is the slogan that Selena designed for herself. Although the design was a cliché idea, it was cut by


    her to give it a new feel. The mentors agreed, and then came Mariana''s exhibit.


    -My design is a western style wedding dress, made with the mostmon materials in life,


    newspapers.


    After a brief introduction, Mariana showed her creation and attracted a lot of attention as soon as it was


    revealed.


    -I think every girl has dreamed of what she would look like in a wedding dress, and I hope to show


    people, through designs like this, that it doesn''t have to be a wedding. As long as they want it, a


    wedding dress doesn''t have to be limited to a wedding.


    The long and wide hem of the dress wasyered due to the material used for the paper, and the


    newspaper brought a sense of aging, like a bride from an ancient era, showing the unique beauty of the


    time.


    There was a lot of praise in the jury, but many people still looked at her with some prejudice. Many


    people had already lost their affection for her because of the earlier "extra money" incident, even her


    design.


    Mariana unconsciously clenched her fists and waited for the result. On the big screen, thepetition


    between her and Selena was as fierce as ever, with the score going up and down, causing her


    emotional upset as well.


    Although Selena''s design was also the best, Mariana was more confident. Her only concern was how


    much the negative news would affect her in this evaluation.


    -I now announce the final results! The winner is...


    It was the first time Mariana was so nervous in the contest, and her eyes were glued to the screen for


    fear of missing something.


    -Mariana! Congrattions to this designer for winning with a lead of 0, 3!


    A victory!


    The tightly clenched fists were finally unclenched, and Mariana herself did not notice that her palms


    were already stained with sweat. It was a close victory, but she was happy with the result.


    Before he could leave the stage, he received a call from Ana.


    -Mari, you''re saved!


    Hearing her excited voice, a wave of warmth crossed Mariana''s heart, her mood finally improved, and


    atst there was a small smile in her voice. There was still someone in this world who supported her.


    -There is no need to be so dramatic. Even if you lose thispetition, it''s not like you have no other


    way out.


    He deliberately made his tone sound lighter, but Ana still sounded very excited, as if she hadn''t heard


    what he meant.


    -Go watch the news! I didn''t tell you about thepetition! Go watch it! The truth has finallye out.


    "The truth?"


    Mariana froze, and turned on her phone to see the words "Diana''s "extra money" incident" in big bold


    letters on the Inte.


    The news was a revealing video of herself helping Diana choose her own clothes, and the truth that


    Diana had been filmed wearing the clothes she had chosen was finally revealed to the public.


    Thements were so outrageous that some brainless fans went so far as to wonder if it was a fake


    video, which immediately led to countless questions and condemnation.

    -What do you think? Isn''t it a surprise and a delight? It''s really great, good thing the truth came out, I


    was really worried.


    Ana kept expressing her congrattions, but Mariana was still in shock and looked at thements


    with mixed feelings.


    -Mari, how is it going, are you feeling better? -Ana''s voice rang out again, concerned not about her


    reputation or her ability, but simply about her mood.


    -Thank you, Anita. I am much better.


    It was a rare blessing to have such a friend, who didn''t care about your social status or what you could


    give her, but only that you were happy.


    -Good, then I''m relieved! I''m hanging up now, I''ll see youter for dinner!


    Mariana answered "yes" and heard her phone beep. She then clicked on the message box, which was


    full of people apologizing for her earlier insults. Looking at the private messages, a sarcastic smile


    came across Mariana''s face.


    -Apologies are the most useless thing in the world. How can you think about the consequences when


    you''ve already done harm?


    Mariana shook her head and read lightly as she deleted those private messages, and continued


    reading the hot search.


    He only asked himself this one question this time:


    "What kind of answer will Diana give?"
