Ailina’s POV:I was playing a game with earphones. My ears were filled with gunshots and my teammates’ voices. I didn’t even hear what the few people besides me were saying.Until the end of the game, the Design Competition was about to begin. A few chattering women followed Hallie back to the first three rows.On the catwalk, models designed clothes as they walked along. While on the big screen, there was a design draft.The judges looked at the models and the design draft and gave a score.The first few sets were all relatively ordinary gowns. As well as a few windbreakers, they were not too stunning, with an average score of about 7.When the tenth set appeared, everyone was stunned.That was Hallie’s design. Vivian was her model.Vivian’s hot figure entirely showed the beauty of the cheongsam. She also had a feather fan in her hand, like the enchanting and seductive singer. When she put down the feather fan, her appearance looked gentle and reserved.Author’s POV:At this moment a
Ailina’s POV:At this stage, the host asked everyone what they thought about when designing. I looked down and held my phone to play games.However, I would occasionally look at the time. It would take about ten minutes to walk from the studio to here. If Mrs. Christopher hesitated for a while, it would take about twenty minutes.Ten minutes had passed since Hallie’s design was presented.Mrs. Christopher would be here in ten minutes. She would arrive before announcing the first place.After I gave the design draft to Mr. Christopher, I looked into him. He didn’t want to deal with trouble and didn’t want to cause trouble. At best, he was kind to others, but at worst he was afraid of offending others.Therefore, I couldn’t guarantee that when Hallie’s design was presented, he would reveal the truth.Afterward, I looked into Mrs. Christopher. Mrs. Christopher would express her emotions directly and she acted with caution and courage. She was a person of integrity and would certainly not
Author’s POV:The light is shown on Vivian’s gown. Under the camera, every lotus flower on it seemed ready to bloom.Everyone exclaimed again,Among all the models, Vivian was so eye-catching with her well-shaped body covered with the unique gown.“Thank you for sharing, Miss Wilson. Now let’s turn to the next one.”The host continues to ask about the source of inspiration of other participants. However, none had much confidence, and most just said a few words.There was still a hot discussion about Hallie’s design in the live bullet comments.(It's so, too beautiful. I am falling for it.) A exclaimed.(When matching with the gown, the louts look best. Vivian looks graceful and magnificent, as well as sexy and charming.) B said.The host finally finished asking everyone about their inspiration, and it was time to announce the winning list.This champion would undoubtedly be Hallie. People could not be sure who could get the second and third place.After some discussion, the judges wro
Hallie’s POV:My heart trembled as I looked at the gown worn by Mrs. Christopher. However, I still refused to admit that I had plagiarized it. I gritted my teeth and said, “You are a staff member of Tisan Group, right? Perhaps it was because my design was leaked that you could get a similar one.”As soon as I set this, everyone below nodded their heads.Mrs. Christopher sneered, “Did you imply imply that someone plagiarized your design? How long do you think it will take to embroider such a gown? Your design has been handed over to our company for less than a month. Do you think its possible to make it in a month?”I looked at the gown worn by Mrs. Christopher. It seemed that embroidery was purely handmade. Furthermore, I could not figure out the embroidery method of the lotus flower on her shoulder.My body shook slightly but I managed to steady myself.I continued to ask, “You said that I plagiarized, then, who did I plagiarize? Do you have the original manuscript of the design?”“O
Hallie’s POV:I originally didn’t think Mrs. Christopher's gown was a big deal. But when she was walking back and forth on the catwalk, I discovered that with every step she took, a louts-shaped light fell under her feet and dissipated immediately. However, as long as she moved, the louts-shaped light would constantly fall.I was shocked. At this moment, I finally understood what Step Lotus meant.When the staff turned on the lights, my face was pale.Ailina asked, “Do you know why it’s called Step Lotus? Do you think you can name it just by reading a story?”I didn’t say anything.About a minute later, Mrs. Christopher said, “Hallie, are you admitting that you had plagiarized?”Widening my eyes, I knew that I couldn’t admit that I had plagiarized. I was in trouble when I used Light to hype the last time, if I admitted that I had plagiarized this time, my future would be ruined.Moreover, Darren was also present today. If Darren knew the truth, he might leave me.I swallowed hard and
Hallie’s POV:The recording was over.Alice turned off her phone and said with the microphone held her in hand, “I was originally designer of Wilson Clothing. That day, I accidentally bumped into a graduate of Dream College looking for Hallie. What I just played is their conversation on that day. Hallie knew that Ailina’s graduation design was better than her, so she instigated that student to steal Ailina’s design just because she wanted to win.”Then she added, “Perhaps the work she brought out to the competition today is the one she stole from Ailina.”After saying this, Alice stuffed the microphone back into the host’s hands. Then she had a glimpse of me and left.I was shocked by the glance and the pleasure of revenge in Alice’s eyes.I fell on the runway. Ailina half-squatted down and reached out to me, “You should have seen it coming when you stole my design. Don’t sit on the cold ground, get up.”I looked at Ailina as if she was a devil.At the same time, the audience was in u
Susan’s POV:Hallie sat on the bench trembling. Maybe she was angry and afraid now, or just cold.I patted Hallie on the back. I was also racking my brain trying to find a way.We sat by the roadside for an hour, and passersby gave us weird looks. I spent an hour comforting Hallie and telling her how to explain to George when she returned.Hallie finally agreed to go home with me.When we came home, George was sitting in the living room.Seeing George, Hallie didn’t know how to face him. I pulled her to George and said, “George, I bring Hallie back.”He looked at Hallie and was silent for a few seconds before asking, “Did you really copy your sister’s designs work? Did you ask someone to take away your sister’s work at Dream College?”Hallie closed her eyes as tears flowed down her cheek. She threw herself into George’s arms and said, “Dad, I am sorry. I know I was wrong. I indeed did those things. But do you know why I did so? I have been criticized since I was a kid. They called me
Ailina’s POV:I know that Mrs. Christopher was angry. Anyone who was taken advantage of would be angry.Back then, Cathy did the same to me, and I was also very angry, wasn’t I?I owed Mrs. Christopher an explanation.I said, “Since you have done me such a big favor, you naturally doesn’t owe me anything. I am mean for only returning a piece of clothes, so I should treat you.”Mrs. Christopher waved her hand and said, “No need. We don’t owe each other. It’s better for us to have no communication in the future.”I smiled and said, “Madam, you don’t think we owe each other anything. That’s because you are your generosity. But I only give you a set of clothes. I obviously owe you something. I can’t pretend that I don’t owe you and pay nothing back, just because of your generosity. That’s not good.”Mrs. Christopher’s POV:I didn’t know how to respond for a moment.This girl was quite cute when she played rough. It's really irresistible.“Alright, it’s on you tonight.” I felt a little fun
James’ POV:Anaya smiled and threw her car key to the mall manager.Then, she held me and took the elevator upstairs.Anaya took the initiative to hold me. I was secretly happy. I turned my head and asked, “You have not eaten yet, right? What do you want to eat?”She said, “I am here for a beauty saloon. But if you have not eaten, I can eat with you.”I nodded, “I have not eaten yet. I’ll book a restaurant then.”“Sure.” She immediately nodded.I quickly made a call and booked a more stylish restaurant.We sat down. Just as we were ordering, my phone rang again. It was a call from the manager. “Mr. James, it didn’t work. She doesn’t want money for compensation. She wants to park the car here. What do you think we should do?”I was stunned and puzzled that there was someone who didn’t want money.In my impression only that tom
Jenny’s POV:After a few days of preparation, Ailina was also officially involved.I called her, “Ailina, do you need an assistant? I see other artists bringing assistants. You are the heroine and isn't inappropriate not to be one.”“I don’t want to. It’s too troublesome.” She replied indifferently. “It’s only two or three months. You have to handle the affairs in JK for these two or three months. Thank you.”I pretended to scold her. “It seems that I don’t usually handle those affairs. You are a good absentee leader. Now you even say such a word.”“Never mind. Isn’t this representative of a big boss? I was just saying that to be nice.” Ailina laughed. ‘It feels really good.”“Well, since you don’t need an assistant, you go by yourself. I am short of hands now. Call me if you need anything.” I said.“I se
Lewis’ POV:I was stunned for a moment, “What chance? I haven’t had any new plays recently. I am still in deep trouble with ‘Joy of Life’.”“It’s ‘Joy of Life’ the film version. Director Jane will shoot the film version of ‘Joy of Life.’ I didn’t get the heroine in the previous play, so I want to act as the heroine in the film version. Jane seems to have already decided on the heroine. Could you put a good word for me with Director Jane? You know, I love acting. My acting skills are personally taught by you. This role is really important to me. Director Lewis, please help me.” Anya pleaded with me.I touched my head. “Well, Anya, you have been in the circle for so long. You should know the rules. The directors usually do not interfere with each other when other choose roles.”Hearing this. Anya’s instantly face turned pale.I comforted her, “
Anya’s POV:I looked at myself in the mirror and touched my face. I immediately took out the makeup remover and took my makeup off.Looking at my slightly exhausted face, I was no longer as pure and fresh as I was back then. My eyes were a little dull, and there were a few wrinkles on my face.I suddenly covered my face and cried. “I can’t go back. I am no longer the original Anya.”The two stylish looked at me in a daze. They were both a little confused about why a first-rate celebrity was so unhappy.John said to them, “You guys leave. I want to talk to Anya.”After the stylish left, he held his hand and said, “Anya one wants you to go back to the past. You don’t want to go back to the past, right?”I nodded and replied, “I don’t want to go back. I don’t want to live like that anymore. I don’t want to be bullied again. I don’t want to have a walk on
Anya’s POV:I took a deep breath and tried to calm down. “John, I am sorry. I am just too nervous. I have not worked for half a year; I am just waiting for a ‘Joy of Life.’ My whole year will be wasted if I can’t get the female leading in the film. If an actress doesn’t appear in front of the public for a long time, people will soon forget her. I have been working so hard to become who I am today. I don’t want to give up and I can’t give up.”John also felt sorry for me. He patted me lightly and said, “I know. I know all of this. Anya, we have no choice now. We have failed to take down Ailina. I think you should ask Director Lewis for help. After all, you were once his chief female lead. He will at least give you a face. It is said that he has a good relationship with Director Jane. So go beg Director Lewis to plead for you.”I said through gritted teeth, “Director Lewis is related to Ailina. It was clear when at the scene of ‘Lowering the Bid. Can’t you tell that?”“Then what do you
Greyson’s POV:When Jayden and I walked out of the King’s Hotel, I felt too weak to walk.Just now, inside, Jayden only made a phone call. Then all my clients canceled the order, and the suppliers no longer supplied me with any raw materials.Jayden didn’t let me go bankrupt immediately but killed me slowly.I had no choice but to post a clarification on Twitter. Jayden was satisfied with my behavior.I want to ask Jayden to give back my business, but I know that it is impossible. I had lost a lot. To protect Clara, I might go bankrupt.Now everyone was questioning me who the home wrecker was and why I blackened Ailina on Twitter.I didn’t reply.Jayden gave me a look before leaving, which scared me to death.My wife saw me coming out in a sorry state and stepped forward to support me and asked, “Greyson, what’s wrong?”“Why are you here?” I looked at her.She looked around and said, “A woman asked me to come here. She said that she saw you and Ailina entering the hotel together. So s
Ailana’s POV:I looked up. When I saw Ricky come in, I changed my cold and indifferent attitude and instantly became like a cute little rabbit: “Ricky, you are here.” He bullied me and even said that he liked to bully others with his power.Ricky reached out to pull me into his arm. He rubbed the top of my head and looked at Greyson. His eyes were very indifferent, but there was a slight sense of approval in them. It was just a slight glaze, but it made Greyson feel as if his entire body was frozen. He could not help but shiver and stuttered, “Who is this gentleman?”Jayden, who came with Ricky, introduced, “This is the Chairman of Haytt Group, the current leader of the Alfonzo Estate, Mr. Rican Alfonzo.”This simple introduction frightened Greyson. He felt his leg go soft. He reached out to support the table beside him and barely stood.“Third… Third Master.” He stammered as his voice trembled.Ricky looked at him and asked in a calm voice, “I heard that you raised my fiancée?”There
Greyson’s POV:After receiving Clara’s call, I began to change my clothes and was ready to see Ailina. I had never seen this woman, so it was good to see her.“What are you going for?” My wife was still feeding the child. Seeing that I was going out, she quickly came over and asked.I frowned, “If there is something, why do you care so much? Take care of the children. The child cried again.”After saying that, I already carried my bag and walked out.She threw the bowl in her hand at me and screamed, “Greyson, are you going out to see that woman again? Why are you doing this to me? Why?”The elder daughter was already ten years old. The younger daughter was only three years old. When the two daughters heard the sound of smashing the bowl, they subconsciously cried. I turned back to look at the old woman in the room. Then I looked at the two daughters who could not be my successor. I was even more annoyed.I slammed a door shut and drove to the Kings Hotel.This was the first time I ha
Rican’s POV:After everyone finished eating, Mom pulled Ailina to chat. I went to the study to see Dad. Dad sat in front of the desk, with a cigarette between his fingers.“Since you have quit smoking, don’t smoke anymore.” I walked in and removed the cigarette from his fingers.“Sit down.” He sighed.I sat in front of him.“Rican, don’t let Ailina get into the entertainment circle. Be ready and get married to her. As long as she isn’t in the entertainment circle, our family can arrange any work she wants to do for her.”I asked, “Why?”“The entertainment industry is a dirty circle. If a woman walks in, she will lose herself. One day, she will not be able to find her way back.” Dad said emotionally.I was stunned momentarily, then smiled and shook my head, “No, Ailina knows what she is doing.”“She may know it now, but what about in the future? Everyone has vanity. If she enters that circle, once many people know her and become popular, she will enjoy that feeling. It will be difficul
