However, Susan still didn't think Grace's presence there mattered. "Alright, don't overthink it. Remember what I told you—just make a good impression on Professor Morris."Meanwhile, Grace had arrived at the exhibition with Xander.The two made a striking pair with their good looks and drew the attention of many.While most people didn't know much about Xander, they had heard quite a bit about Grace through rumors."Ms. Lewis is now divorced, but she seems to be living a luxurious life, and her male companion doesn't look too shabby. He's much better than Mr. Hawkins.""You're right! This man doesn't seem to belong to our circle. Who is this gentleman?""Do you know Futurelink Corporation? That rising conglomerate? That man is the CEO of that company!"The crowd gasped in surprise."No wonder he's with Ms. Lewis. They make a perfect couple!""Indeed, Ms. Lewis is such a fortunate woman! She has a great background, looks beautiful, and is successful. She's done wonders for Amir

"I just took a walk around, and I couldn't find your work. Are you sure you handed it over to Professor Morris?" Susan asked.Celia quickly snapped back to reality. "I submitted it. Maybe it's on the other side. Let me take you there."With that, the two of them headed to the other side of the design exhibition.Meanwhile, Grace remained composed as she was surrounded by people.After a round of interactions, she greeted everyone and then found a couch where she could sit and rest. Xander brought her a glass of champagne and handed it to her. "How's it going? Are you tired?"Grace shook her head. "Not at all."Xander continued, "I just took a look around. There are relatively few design works by Professor Morris himself at today's exhibition. The rest of them are his students' works. "I heard that Professor Morris is planning to retire and is looking to take on a successor, so he's using this opportunity to assess the students' abilities."Grace nodded. "I see. Let's go and
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 165 She Didn't Design This
"Ms. Hawkins, there must be a unique design story behind such a remarkable design. Can you share it with us?" someone asked eagerly.Celia smiled gracefully and said confidently, "Actually, this artwork was inspired by a show I attended in France. "It conveyed the independence and intellectual beauty of women. That's why I chose bold color combinations to highlight the essence of femininity. "The details in the cuffs and collars are also meticulously designed. You can see the thought put into the overall concept …"Once Celia finished explaining, those around her couldn't help but offer their appreciation for her work."Wow, Ms. Hawkins, you really have a unique understanding of design. It's no wonder you've produced such an excellent piece. "I'm interested to know if you're currently considering a partnership with a design studio. A designer as exceptional as you would be a valuable addition to our studio."Our company specializes in fashion too. A talented designer like you
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 166 Where's the Proof
As Susan spoke, she nudged Celia with a grin.Celia seized the opportunity to speak. "I plan to apply for your graduate program in my senior year and hope for a chance to study design with you." Alan nodded in understanding and encouraged her. "Keep up the good work."After that, he left under the watchful eyes of the crowd.Susan's heart filled with excitement when she heard Alan's response. She grabbed Celia and exclaimed, "Celia, it's looking very promising! You need to keep pushing forward. Don't let me down!"Celia couldn't hide her delight and responded, "Don't worry, Mom! I've got what it takes." Joining Alan's graduate program was well within her reach.However, the next moment, Grace approached her with a grim expression. For some reason, Celia felt an urge to avoid her."Let's talk!" Grace said, her words carrying an unspoken weight.Celia tried to ignore Grace. As she was about to leave, Grace reached out and firmly grasped her wrist. "What's the matter? Feeling

However, it was clear that Celia didn't particularly appreciate Grace's gesture."Celia, I'm going to give you one more chance. Withdraw this artwork from the exhibition by yourself, or else you'll regret it," Grace warned.Celia remained unfazed and ignored Grace's warning. "Do as you please," she confidently replied, before walking away with her head held high.As she pushed open the glass door, she bumped into Frederick. "Frederick, what are you doing here?"Instead of answering her question, Frederick asked casually, "When did you and Grace become such good friends?"Celia sneered, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who would possibly be friends with her? She's the heiress of the Lewis family now. I can't possibly reach her level."Her words were dripping with sarcasm and underlying tension."Ahhh," Frederick said in understanding and chose not to delve further into the matter.Celia didn't pay any more attention to him and haughtily walked away with her nose in the ai
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 168 Exposing the Truth
However, Grace gently shook her head, her tone resolute. "No, what's mine is mine, and I want to take it back myself."She looked at Celia in the crowd. At this moment, Celia was basking in the limelight as she engaged in conversations with numerous industry leaders. Whenever Grace looked, Celia wore a faint, provoking smile, challenging Grace as if she were saying, "What can you do to me?"Just then, a waiter approached Celia politely. "Ms. Hawkins, Professor Morris would like to see you." Celia nodded. "Sure, I'll go over right away," she replied before turning to follow the waiter.At that moment, Alan was engaged in a conversation about Celia's work with some friends. When Celia approached, he signaled to her and said, "My friend, Mr. Gordon, is very interested in your design. He would like to hear more about your design philosophy and initial inspiration for this piece."Celia nodded and turned to Mr. Gordon. She explained, "For the concept of this piece, I mainly focu
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 169 Show Me Your Proof
"You say this isn't my design, huh? Well, go ahead! Show me some proof! If you can't, I'll have to sue you for defamation," Celia declared with confidence.She didn't think that Grace would be able to provide any substantial proof. That was why she didn't hold back with her harsh words.Nevertheless, Grace was upfront and admitted, "It's true that I can't present any concrete evidence.""Seriously, accusing someone of plagiarism without any proof?""That's right. It's practically a baseless accusation!""I never thought the prestigious Ms. Lewis would be like this.""Don't you know? Celia used to be her sister-in-law. Maybe she's acting out for revenge!""Wow, that's pretty scary."Celia couldn't help but revel in the fact that public opinion seemed to be firmly in her favor.The crowd was highly perceptive. Celia was determined to leave Grace in tears today."Well, if you can't present any evidence, you may apologize to me. Then, I'll think about letting you off," Celia taun

Celia had a particularly unpleasant expression at this moment, but she was unwilling to admit defeat."Grace, do you have to spout nonsense in front of everyone? Where's your proof? Do you think you can just change the truth with a few words?" she asked.Despite her guilty conscience, Celia maintained her defiant tone as she sought support from the crowd.Finally, she spotted Benjamin, who was her beacon of hope. With a desperate look on her face, she rushed toward him."Ben! Your ex-wife is falsely accusing me. She resents us so much that she's trying to ruin my future as revenge, and that too, right in front of everyone." she complained.Then, Celia pulled Benjamin toward Grace. However, Grace's expression remained indifferent.For some reason, even though she was standing right before him, Benjamin felt as though they were worlds apart.In the current situation, if it were indeed proven that Celia had stolen the design, her career prospects as a designer would be utterly dest
