It wasn't that the fashionistas were unafraid of the cold, but they stood against it. All that the audience could see were the appealing pictures of these celebrities, but not the snot that was dripping out of their noses. The weather was so frigid that the bitter wind sneaked beneath Hilda's down jacket, and it felt as if countless icy cold hands were caressing her body. Nonetheless, she could not show the slightest tinge of discomfort, and she displayed the perfect smile which she had been practicing for a long time. From head to toe, her entire body was freezing cold. This year, the winter in Taadi City was extraordinarily harsh, and it was negative ten degrees Celsius even after new year. With that, Hilda could barely feel her ears anymore. "Are you ready?" She felt Nathan's warm breath on her ears. It was so chilly that even Hilda's brain was nearly frozen as she prepared herself to walk against the piercing wind. "Huh?" Before she could realize what had happened, her body
Meanwhile, Rex caught up with Hilda and snatched back his beanie. "Give it back to me. Thomas bought this for me! You're going to spoil it!" He grumbled while beating the dust off the beanie dearly as if its thread was going to come loose. Speechless, Hilda stared at him. What's wrong with this stupid dog? What's going on between him and Thomas? Thomas's lips are sealed while this guy here is playing dumb. They have even adopted a child and are staying together now. Why haven't they made any progress yet? Minutes ago, he was chatting enthusiastically with a girl but now, he is holding Thomas's beanie so dearly. What on earth is on his mind?! "Don't bother about this stupid dog anymore. Let's take a seat first." Nathan said as he gave Rex a strange glance, then walked away with Hilda with his arm around her waist. Thinking that Hilda was being ridiculous, Rex sat down and started scrolling on his phone. He texted Thomas to ask when he was arriving but did not receive a reply ev
Thomas had dressed up splendidly today, but he didn't expect to receive such brotherly praise from Rex, which left him disappointed and depressed. Since the show hadn't started, he took out his phone and scrolled through Twitter. Suddenly, he came across a photo posted by an influencer that Rex had liked. In that photo, Rex was with the girl from earlier. Noticing that Thomas was looking at that photo, Rex bragged proudly, "A girl struck up a conversation with me just now. How cool is that? Look, that girl is sitting behind us. She's an actress who was a game streamer. In the past, we've even played against her in games. Look, that's her! She must have over edited her photo because she doesn't look like that in real life. She's much prettier in real life! In the past when she was still a streamer, she requested to compete against me. I thought she was a guy so I completely knocked her out in the game. I heard that she cried during her streams because of that! Besides that, she's the
At the fashion week, which was crowded by a legion of fashion figures, wearing imitation clothes was a crime that was the most detested by fashion figures and the offender might be shut out from the fashion industry forever. She wouldn't receive any endorsement jobs from now on and might even be thrown out of this venue a moment later. Nathan witnessed this incident from the side but he wasn't planning to interfere. He knew that this was a common trick in the entertainment industry and it seemed like Shamayeta had offended Vivian, so Vivian was deliberating picking fights with her. Since the start of this industry, all kinds of cunning tricks have appeared one after another. Evidently, Shamayeta was deceived because normally, these not so famous celebrities couldn't afford high quality, tailor made branded gowns, which could only be worn one time. Their agency definitely wouldn't buy it for them either. After all, a dress like that would cost over a hundred thousand to ten million.
Her clothes were actually rented by her agency from a costume company. Naturally, she wasn't the one who picked the clothes, but when her agency rented a high quality imitation, she was the one who would be publicly humiliated. Sadly, she didn't have the chance to explain herself so she could only swallow her grievance. She sobbed, "I didn't know. My agency picked these clothes for me..." Hilda took the opportunity to say, "It's alright. Don't be sad. Nowadays, high quality imitations are everywhere, and you were just a victim." Upon hearing Hilda's words, the other people in the fashion industry chimed in to express their disappointment and detest toward high quality imitations. They even began to pity this young girl since she was just a victim, who wasn't aware that her clothes were imitations and wore it to this event. Finally, this dispute was settled. Vivian shot daggers at Hilda, only to receive a glare from Hilda in return. For some reason, Hilda felt that there was som
Hilda knew that Vivian definitely wasn't the person behind all this. She was just a star who wished she could go to as many fashion weeks as possible to be in the spotlight. It seemed that this was planned by Oscar and Oliver. They would rather ruin the whole fashion week than to have Hilda ride their wave. She clenched her fists so tightly under her sleeves that she broke the fake fingernails she had attached to her nails. "Hand that person over to Winnifred and send two more people over to watch Shamayeta. We can't let them get another chance to try something." At that moment, Winnifred had her hands full backstage. Unexpectedly, when Winnifred learned of this news, she became so angry that she almost exploded in rage. That pair of trash had really gone insane trying to ruin the fashion week! "Lock him up temporarily. Well hand them together to Smith Group and let them deal with this themselves!" Winnifred ordered viciously. She really didn't want to have anything to do with
Hilda quickly sent Peace an inquiry and Peace replied very quickly. "Oh, she is a distant cousin of mine from my hometown. She came to Taadi City to pursue her career alone and she didn't know anyone, so my relatives back home asked me to take care of her. Her invitation for this fashion week was from my company too! You don't have to mind her, just let her explore on her own. She's already all grown up and isn't a kid anymore." Hilda was left speechless. Shamayeta was actually Peace's distant relative, yet she had never heard Peace mention about her before. But Peace sure was punctilious. She never told her relatives back in her hometown about life with her husband in Taadi City, and she had never brought her relatives to the Cannon Residence either. Her family really thought that she had married a paratrooper and lived in a basement. It wasn't because she thought that her relatives were embarrassing, but because if her relatives knew about the Cannon family, they would start to a
Jerome was the president of Smith Group. Today was the launch of Smith's new product, so naturally, he was to be today's finale. Countless lenses were pointed their way while lights flashed continuously, perfectly capturing his every smile. Most of the time, he appeared alone. He would sometimes appear with his sons, but tonight, he had shown up with a woman. Everyone was surprised and someone took the opportunity to ask, "President Jerome, the one beside you is?" Connie looked over too, her eyes wide opened, waiting for Jerome's reply. Facing the media's cameras, Jerome smiled impeccably and said, "This is my wife, Elizabeth." Connie's heart, which was already in her throat, felt like it was smashed to the ground hard and shattered into pieces... So Jerome had a wife! That woman seemed like she was... the head of the Jones Clan, Elizabeth Jones! This was exclusive news! The media took pictures frantically, a cacophony of camera shutters sounding. Elizabeth and Jerome stood a
