Behind the camera, hidden behind the curtain, Wenona reluctantly loosened her tightly clenched hands. Her fingernails had been digging into her palms, making them swollen and red. She gritted her teeth maliciously, staring fixedly through the gap in the curtain at the big screen. She hadn't misheard earlier. Melanie turned out to be Derrick's guest model, and she even closed the show, wearing the wedding dress designed by Derrick for his daughter. Moreover, the applause from the audience was all for Melanie. She could hardly believe it! "Wenona, it's almost your turn!" her agent lifted the curtain and reminded her. Wenona was full of embarrassment and anger. She had just been boasting in front of Melanie, saying... "You said earlier that Melanie’s request to walk for Miss Yancey was rejected, right? How did this happen?" Wenona questioned her agent with wide eyes. "I heard it from Miss Yancey's staff, okay?" The agent explained helplessly and reminded her, "You need t
The fashion show was about to end. Usually, each designer and their models would take the stage together to bid farewell at the end of the fashion show, but this time, the audience had to wait a bit longer. When the host finally took the stage, he said, "The organizers have specially prepared a segment called Fantasy Collaboration for everyone tonight. It's been a decade since the reclusive Mr. Lynch and our busy Miss Yancey last collaborated." A large screen on the stage lit up, projecting images of Derrick and Linda backstage. "Tonight, Mr. Lynch showcased a women's wear collection, and coincidentally, Linda showcased a men's wear collection. The models of both designers can perfectly complement each other and present to you an unexpected but undoubtedly brilliant performance!" "I wonder what you both think?" The host looked toward the large screen behind. On the big screen, Derrick and Linda were both smiling. Melanie blinked, recalling what she had told Jefford earlie
Jeffrey understood immediately that Wenona had been waiting for this. Linda raised an eyebrow but still maintained a polite smile on her face. "That's not possible. Jefford is going to walk the finale with the female models from Mr. Derrick's side..." "You have the power to decide, right?" Wenona didn't want to give up the chance to get close to Jefford. "If Mr. Yancey and I go up together later, Melanie can only watch from the sidelines..." Linda's eyes narrowed slightly. Normally, she wouldn't care about the petty behavior of a female model trying to climb the social ladder, but now was a crucial moment for her to test the relationship between Jefford and Melanie. This foolish woman wanted to play the game of marrying into a wealthy family; it was really disgraceful! Linda smiled a fake smile. "Wenona, you must be tired. Go and rest!" With that, Linda left without looking back. Wenona stood alone beside Jeffrey, feeling awkward. At this moment, some of the models in
"If you think I'm not as professional or as beautiful as you, why don't we have a competition?" Melanie calmly suggested. Wenona took the bait. She glared at Melanie, waiting for her to say more. "Since you also changed into women's clothing, and it's also a wedding dress, why don't you walk the runway after me? We’ll let the audience decide," Melanie said. "Do you think I'm afraid? I'm the national goddess!" Wenona said confidently. Although this segment wasn't arranged by Linda, Wenona was the most high-profile model in the show. As long as she seized the opportunity to step on stage, the organizers wouldn't dare to say anything. They would even be happy for her to make more appearances! Wenona was quite sure of this. Seeing Wenona getting worked up as expected, Melanie smirked. She was satisfied with herself. Beside them, Jeffrey watched Melanie's face, knowing that she was setting a trap for Wenona. But this leopardess only bit the wicked. He only had to wait for the
Harbor Mall. At the car park, a silver Audi was shaking.There was a crack in the trunk.Melanie Jones was hiding in the trunk as she listened to the sounds of a man and a woman panting in the car. Her heart twitched painfully.Without telling her fiancé, Melanie had finished her work early to come home sooner. She decorated and filled the trunk with balloons. She then dressed up as a huge present and climbed into the trunk while holding her fiancé’s favorite limited edition tequila in her hands.Feeling hopeful, she eagerly awaited the sound of the car door unlocking but what followed were words of betrayal…“Bryan, today’s your birthday. Aren’t you worried that Melanie will come and find you?”“Hmph, your lawsuit is a pain in the ass. She’s in Paris and doesn’t even have time for me. How could she possibly come back here?”“Well, do you mean that I should create more trouble next time?” the woman said coquettishly.“You bad girl!” the man replied in a pampering tone.“Since
Stephen Morgan was the second young master of the Morgans. Although Stephen did not have the best reputation, he had the advantage of being the most popular influencer at the moment.Lately, Bryan had been trying extremely hard to involve Lena and Stephen in their latest project. However, Melanie had never thought that she would have a one-night stand with Stephen.Melanie’s eyes lit up before she took her phone from the bedside. She then switched on her front camera and started taking pictures of them…Even though she was betrayed by Bryan, she should not grieve for too long nor should she question his intentions mindlessly. She had to keep herself calm and cool. A horrible fiancé could not change her life. Instead, she should turn on him and get something out of it!Since Melanie had already gotten the things she wanted, she endured the pain in her lower body and quickly got dressed. Before leaving, she left a note for Stephen.“Clicked.” The door closed.The man on the bed ope
After a while, Stephen walked into the VIP lounge when he was done dealing with his fans. Seeing this, Melanie approached him and said, “Hi, there. I’m Melanie Jones.”“You’re Melanie Jones?”Stephen asked impatiently, “Where do I sign?”Melanie raised her eyebrows as she paused before asking, “Do you mind taking a closer look at me? Do you know me?”“Uhm…”Her stunning silhouette…The man removed his shades as he sized Melanie up from head to toe. “Well, you have a unique cane, and it successfully caught my attention. Do you find it interesting using it at night?”While Stephen was talking to her, he reached out his hand toward her cane. Seeing this, Melanie reacted with disgust and swiftly swung her hand at the cane, hitting the man’s hand.“Ouch!”Stephen placed his hand beside his lips and licked it. “You’re an interesting one, aren’t you? I like you!”Melanie squinted her eyes. She felt that this Stephen was completely different from the one she slept with last night. Ev
“Uncle, just admit it. I saw your future wife. She mistook me for you, and she…”“Tell me everything, immediately,” Jeffrey interrupted Stephen’s long-winded explanation as he said in a deep voice.“Cough…”Hearing this, Stephen dared not waste Jeffrey’s time as he told him what happened.Of course, he only told Jeffrey about the second half of the story. If Jeffrey knew that he dared to flirt with his woman… Stephen had a chill down his back just by thinking this.“Now, do as I tell you.”The voice from the other side of the phone was emotionless but terrifying.After Melanie left the airport, she took a cab straight to the hospital.The Joneses started out in the medical field. Although they had declined a little after Melanie’s father passed away, they were still the leader in this industry.With that, Melanie went straight to the hospital that she trusted the most and got an orthopedic specialist to examine her leg.The specialist told her that her leg injury was not that
