Maron's words left the entire studio in stunned disbelief.

Cordy was actually Lovely, the best international designer of the new age?!

Her design had completely eclipsed every other fashion designer's at the Sheeny Cup and earned her an international following.

However, because the competition was conducted online, no one had really seen Lovely, and she refused any interviews and requests.

And once she gained fame, all her works were constantly published in international fashion magazines at astronomical prices. They all dubbed her the most prodigious fashion designer there was, and her accolades made her the pride of the continent as well.

Naturally, given her stardom in the fashion industry and refusal to reveal herself to the public, there was speculation that Lovely was a cripple or too hideous. Some even claimed that Lovely was actually a group and therefore could not present themselves in public.

But despite all those rumors, Lovely never came forward to speak up for hers

    Maron could not help looking at Cordy, who remained composed from the very start, just then.He had definitely been surprised to run into her at the studio today, especially when he had done his best to ask Cordy to stay in Astonia all those years ago. He could have helped her push her way to the pinnacle of the international market, not to mention that the nation's royalty had contacted him, asking for Lovely's personal designs. She refused, however, saying she was choosing something more important than fame.She only agreed to meet Maron before returning to Zidonia to thank him for years of support, saying that she might retire from the fashion industry and focus on business instead. He naturally did his best to persuade her not to leave, insisting that he would never demand a yearly quota of designs from her. All he wanted was for her not to give up on her dreams because he could feel her passion for fashion design. Thankfully, she listened, so her breathtaking designs occasio

    There was no doubting it now. With the testimony of an internationally renowned authority and Cordy's own social network profiles, she was Lovely!The studio audience, who were just grumbling about the competition's outcome moments ago, was instantly silent.Those watching the livestream were stunned into silence as well, with the live comment section pausing for seconds. Still, in John's WhatsApp group, Bob could not help sending more messages.[Holy crap! Cordy is Lovely?! This is amazing! The pride of the continent! The prodigious fashion designer!!!][She is as beautiful as she is talented! Who wouldn't fall for her?!][What did you eat to become so sharp-eyed, Johnny?!][Also, Kyle probably wants to hang himself right about now. Jay, it's not like I'm being mean to your brother-in-law, but this serves him right!]-Meanwhile, Kyle was certainly glowering.He never knew that Cordy was Lovely even after being with her for years—she was just some street performer when he m

    Anyone in the business who knew what went on behind the scenes would know that Kyle's plot was twice the pride, double the fall!All he ever did was get humiliated by Cordy again and again!The only thing he could do now was clench his fist as he glared at Cordy from behind the screen.Meanwhile, the host spoke again. "Now, we are all convinced that Cordy is Lovely and honored that she would take part in this competition. However, the rules make it clear that contestants are to design something on the spot, and any sort of imitation is forbidden. The judges and the production team have thus unanimously agreed that even if Cordy has used an old design, it still counts as plagiarism. As such, we shall deem her forfeited as a contestant—""But I did design a dress," Cordy said, cutting him short.While the host was taken aback, Cordy repeated loudly and clearly, "I designed a dress on the spot. Someone made a switch."The scene was once again left in an uproar.This was supposed to

Why did you try to frame her?!"All Mandy could do was purse her lips and stay silent.

    [Why does Noel suddenly seem so fake?!][That's a mistress' child for you. What a sore loser.][Noel is really giving me a poor taste in the mouth. You lost, so just accept it!]At the same time, Cordy spoke earnestly. "Dear judges, it's my hope that this panel will provide a fair assessment to conclude this competition while remaining unaffected by external factors. I'm convinced that the audience in the studio and watching live would want a legitimate, reasonable outcome." The audience was curious about Cordy's design too, since every work by Lovely had been a masterpiece, and seeing it would be a reward for the eyes!Some started to cheer loudly. "We want to see Cordy's work!""Justice for Cordy!""Keep the competition going! We need a legitimate outcome!"As the cheers grew ever deafening, the live comments were supportive toward Cordy in every way as well.-Meanwhile, John had been silent for a while in his WhatsApp Group, seemingly stunned by the dramatic turn of even

    Everyone in the entire studio seemed to stop breathing at that very moment, as if breathing too loudly would shatter the magnificence before them.After all, no godlier masterpiece embodied the grace of the woman standing on stage.

    [Cancel Mandy already. She has no right to be a celebrity.][Don't you think she broke a dozen laws there? The departments concerned should really launch an investigation and penalize her appropriately.]Still, the competition was over, and the two-hour program somehow extended to four, although the viewership skyrocketed through the roof. And with the recording over, everyone filed out of the studio.Cordy headed backstage to thank Maron before leaving the studio under the crew's escort.However, many journalists were congesting the exit, mobbing Mandy and Noel and preventing them from leaving."Mandy, can you tell us why you would frame Cordy? Could it be because you were afraid Cordy would win and in turn affect Jessop Corp?!""Don't you think such behavior is despicable?!""Don't you expect to be penalized for your actions?!""Mandy, please say something!"The unfriendly questions left Mandy on the verge of falling apart, and she lost all control as she shrieked, "Enough

    Soon, another nurse emerged from the delivery room with a small bundle. "Is the mother's family here?""Yes!" John exclaimed loudly."The delivery was successful," the nurse said. "The baby weighs eight pounds—""How is she?" John asked in agitation, not caring about the child."She's fine. The doctor is just helping her clean up and she'll be out soon," the nurse replied.As John breathed a sigh of relief, the nurse reminded him, "Aren't you the father? Here's your child."John took the baby off her arms, staring at her for a moment as the others flocked around him. "Oh, she's so fair!" Zoe could not help exclaiming. "That's the most beautiful baby I've ever seen.""Are you saying that your son's ugly?" Bob teased."To be honest, yeah," Zoe replied without thinking.Jay cleared his throat—even if it was a subjective opinion, it still hurt to have his own baby called ugly."Let me carry her," Zoe volunteered just then, and John did not hesitate to hand her his baby.As Zoe

    "What?!" Zoe exclaimed in shock.Beside them, John's face fell despite being usually stoic.Still, even before anyone could react, he scooped Cordy up in his arms and left.Zoe did not hesitate to follow, but Jay reminded her, "We're the hosts, Zoe.""Don't care." Zoe was completely unconcerned. "Ask my mom and your sister to handle the guests. I'm going with Cordy!"Jay hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow since there was no reasoning with Zoe.Sam and Quinn also realized that something was out of place.As they pulled away reluctantly, Bob shouted from below, "If you're done kissing, we're going to the hospital! Cordy's going into labor!"Quinn hurried after them as soon as she hurt, but Sam caught her. "Slow down. We can catch up."In fact, most of the guests were leaving as well—it was as if the banquet for Zoe's son was actually intended for everyone else.The poor boy was certainly unlucky to have such unreliable parents!-As everyone rushed to the hospit

    "I'm swelling from my pregnancy," Quinn explained. "It's not your fault."Sam was left staring at her for a while before asking, "So, what should I do?""I'll put it on when I slim down.""Oh." Sam was a little disappointed, since he had always dreamed of having her put on the ring he had custom made.But this was fine—they had all the time they needed, and the most important thing for him is that Quinn was marrying him!He rose to his feet just then, and everyone was cheering as soon as he did. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"Quinn blushed right then, and Sam could see that she was embarrassed.He did not want to make things awkward for her, even if he was quite eager at the moment.Heaven knows how much he missed that night's drunken fumble they had. In fact, during the times he remembered it in dreams, he had to wash his pants when he woke up.Still, just as he took Quinn's hand and started to leave, he felt a softness on his lips—Quinn was kissing him! Sam's heart pounded thunderous

    Everyone waited patiently for the final outcome.Quinn's eyes were welling up with tears, threatening to gush if she so much as blinked.She did her best to hold back her tears—to be strong!Sam pursed his lips in turn, his Adam's apple bobbing.A long while passed, and it felt like a century for Quinn when she finally heard him say, "Yes."Quinn's tears started falling in happiness as Sam declared loudly, "I'll marry you, Quinn—it's what I've always wanted to do! I won't let you go even if you regret it eventually! You only get to be with me, and I'll never let any other man claim you! I'll become very overbearing… eventually!""I won't regret it," Quinn said, determined.She certainly would not regret marrying him!Zoe walked up to them with perfect timing just then, and Sam did a double take.He finally remembered that Zoe was the host of this luncheon and was going to leave with Quinn when Zoe whipped out a small red velvet box."You know what's in here, don't you?"

    However, Sam had already pushed Quinn away before she could tell him. But even if he did not love her or did not want to be with her, she would never stay with Ryan.She had been disappointed in Sam, wondering why he would give up so easily.Was she that unimportant to him?Therefore, if it were not for Zoe and Cordy showing her that video or telling her so much, she would never have known that he loved her for years…Sam's heart ached even as he looked into Quinn's tearful eyes.He reached out a hand, but soon withdrew it—would he not burden her?Even so, it hurt to restrain himself as he watched her, and he was actually getting the feeling that Quinn loved him…But she already had Ryan's child…Well, he was fine with that, as long as the child was Quinn's.But would she not mind?"I will marry you, Sam," Quinn said slowly and clearly then. "Not because you're a good man, not because you prepared so much for me, and not because of how much you prepared for me, but because I

    Everyone in the hall was staring at Sam and Quinn, while Quinn took center stage, staring fixedly at Sam.He stood in the middle of the crowd, watching her silently.She in turn felt fear that he would turn and leave, just as she did not know if she had the courage to stand before him again and to declare her feelings for him in front of so many others.Nonetheless, amid the deafening silence, Sam suddenly walked toward the stage.His pace was slow as if his feet were made of lead, but he was also unusually determined.Quinn's heart raced uncontrollably right then!Everyone else was watching them nervously, especially Cordy and Zoe, with the latter being especially concerned that the cowardly Sam would bail.Fortunately, he was a man who showed responsibility. He would not leave Quinn alone and embarrassed.Hence, as everyone looked on, Sam stood before Quinn, his gaze flickering as their eyes met.He gulped ever so slightly, his emotions clearly ruffled even as he did his bes

    The guests were encouraging, loudly asking, "Why?!""Because of a woman," Sam's recording replied."Who is it?""Quinn Summer," the Sam on the screen said slowly and clearly, leaving the Sam who was in the hall stunned.What the hell?! That was the proposal video he prepared before! Why did it show up here? Did Zoe make a mistake?!He knew it—leave anything to Zoe, and she would mess it up!He started striding toward the stage, intent on stopping the recording, when John and Bob intercepted him with a look of utter guilt while the recording continued. "Quinn is my wife, and we've been married for years, but I've never really loved her—not because I don't, but because I'm afraid to. I feel too insignificant in comparison to the one she loves, so I'd always hurt her… painfully and childishly. I regret that so much now, Quinn. How could I have abandoned you for so long because of my own jealousy? I'd rather hold you in my sleep every night, but my damned pride denied me that for y

    At the banquet hall, Jay and Zoe were thanking their guests with their children in their arms.Then, Zoe announced excitedly, "Please give my best friend, who is also my son's godmother, a warm applause as she comes on stage!"Sam stood at a corner of the hall, watching as Quinn walked up the stage, only realizing just then that her belly was clearly swelling despite her baggy clothes.Time flies—he had not left that long ago, but she and Ryan already had a child.She was not worried about giving him a stroke, was she?He watched as Quinn took the mic and looked around below searching, seemingly searching.After a while, he thought she was looking at him, but by the time he looked up, she had already turned away.Maybe she was looking for Ryan before remembering that Ryan was not there?Nonetheless, Quinn spoke into the mic, saying, "I'm honored to be chosen as the godmother to Zoe's son, and she's been saying he'd be engaged to my child if it's a girl. I already love my godson

    As their eyes met, Sam turned frantic and averted his. "Of course.""Really?" Quinn asked."Would I lie to you?" Sam asked a little grumpily."And you didn't bring her back?" Quinn asked."I'm on a schedule, and it'd be taxing for her if I bought her along," Sam said, making things up as he went along. "I'll bring her along when things are less busy.""Is she pretty?" Quinn pressed."What, have I ever picked an ugly one?" Sam snorted smugly. "You know I prefer curvaceous types, and there are plenty of those abroad.""Do you have a photo?"Sam was silent for a while and eventually said, "Yeah.""Can I see it?""What, does she have to pass your assessment?""Just curious about the girl who can tempt you to settle down," Quinn replied. "You'd be humbled." Sam hastily came up with an excuse."I won't," Quinn said, determined."You'll see her when I bring her home." Sam refused nonetheless."I would like to see a photo now.""No, she's not that photogenic. It'd be slander a
