Evelyn sat just behind Aurora, her fingers tightly clutching the hem of her skirt. She had poured her heart and soul into convincing her father to open a studio for her, managing to recruit Yvonne and secure the partnership with Wilde.Despite her meticulous scheming and efforts to overshadow Aurora, it was Aurora who had the last laugh.Sitting on either side of her, Chery and Zane each held a trophy, symbolically slapping Yvonne's face with their achievements.What Evelyn once deemed an insignificant studio, an endeavor by Aurora doomed to fail, and Chery, whom she looked down upon, had all become unshakeable forces in her life!After tonight, it wasn't just the entertainment industry that would witness a shift, but likely the direction of the Pendleton family itself!How could Aurora miss such a golden opportunity? Holding both a Best Actor and a Best Actress in her grasp, their youth did not detract from their talent, matching if not surpassing others in their craft.Now was the p

Evelyn pulled Elowen aside and said, "Elowen! Alaric has always been a good friend of yours, how can you let Aurora take advantage of him? Don't be fooled by her; she's the most beguiling of all!"Elowen looked at Evelyn with innocent eyes and asked, "What should I do then?""Hasn't Alaric always harbored lingering feelings for you? If you were to fall ill now, he would drop everything to see you!" Evelyn encouraged."Me? That doesn't seem quite right..." Elowen hesitated."What's not right about it? You're just trying to save Alaric. Don't be tricked by Aurora, that little vixen!" Evelyn declared.Elowen, still hesitant, nodded and said, "Well... okay then."When Alaric and Aurora arrived at the hospital, Aurora went to the ward while Alaric sought out Lysander. Lysander explained that Vespera's gastritis was due to her irregular eating habits over the past few days, and that she would be fine with an IV drip.As Alaric visited Vespera in her ward, Aurora was sitting beside her, chid

After Heath and Kieran's plane landed, night had already fallen. The pair immediately rushed to City A and, upon reaching the warehouse designated by "Olivia," found it deserted, surrounded by overgrown weeds. Without guidance, who would have known there was a warehouse here?Before Heath and Kieran could advance, Eamon emerged from the warehouse, gesturing to Heath with a wave.Heath stepped inside, followed closely by Kieran."What's the situation?" Heath inquired, observing the empty warehouse.Olivia had specified delivery in three days. They had thought to catch her off guard by arriving early, but to their dismay, they found the place deserted.Eamon flicked a piece of paper in his hand, remarking, "Damn! We're a step too late."Heath took the paper, which bore the message in elegant script: "Mr. Fairbank, a man who keeps his promises is far more charming!"Discarding the note, Heath concluded, "It seems the legendary Olivia knew we'd try to ambush her and has already cleared ou

Vespera offered a bashful smile, saying, "I might not even qualify as a designer…"Aurora patted Vespera on the shoulder, proclaiming, "Don't worry, after today, you'll become a household name as a designer! You've designed the battle gown for the queen of the silver screen!"Cheryl, equally thrilled, grasped Vespera's hand, declaring, "I would've been doomed today without you! Aurora, promise me, let's bring Vespera into our company pronto! We can't let this talent slip through our fingers!"Aurora nodded vigorously, "Immediately! Right away! We'll sign the contract as soon as we're back!"Vespera, with a laugh, urged, "Stop teasing, let's get the jewelry on and head out!"The assistant, lifting the original set of jewelry, fretted, "Can we still use these?"Originally, Cheryl's style was that of a Western diva, always adorned with diamonds that dazzled brilliantly, but now, switching styles made the previous jewelry seem somewhat mismatched.Aurora dashed into the room, pulled out a

Aurora and Cheryl did their best to persuade, yet Vespera was still scratching her head in indecision, saying, "I... I can't do it. I'm better off just giving you guys some ideas; I can't possibly design Cheryl's gown...""Vespera! What can't you do? You've got to believe that designing isn't about how many awards you've won. You have talent and a passion for design. Haven't you always been frustrated that you couldn't devote yourself entirely to designing? Now, Cheryl and I are offering you an opportunity. Just give us the nod, and you'll be able to showcase your skills. You're going to be a world-renowned top designer one day!" Aurora encouraged her.Aurora's words were incredibly tempting. She loved design and fashion. If it hadn't been for her family insisting she study business, she would have chosen art or design without hesitation.Vespera, moved by the determined look in Aurora and Cheryl's eyes, admitted that she was really just struck by inspiration today and couldn't guaran
