The room erupted into enthusiastic applause. But Lisa didn’t join in. She stretched her neck, trying to catch a glimpse of who this MISSY was. Despite her curiosity, Lisa held a grudge against MISSY. Back at the Paris Design Competition, MISSY had suddenly appeared, accusing Lisa of plagiarizing her early designs. It was a huge embarrassment. If not for that accusation, maybe Lisa would have snagged the prestigious Golden Chalice Award at the Paris Master Designers Competition. Her career might not have taken a nosedive. In her eyes, MISSY was the reason for her downfall. So, she had been nursing a deep resentment for a long time.
MISSY was shrouded in mystery and held an untouchable international status. Lisa knew she couldn’t compete, so she had to bite her tongue. She never expected to see MISSY in person. But here they were, at the same event. Lisa gritted her teeth, a twinge of jealousy creeping in. She was eager to see what made this world-renowned genius tick.
Amidst the roaring applause, Chloe stood up and casually walked onto the stage. Lisa watched Chloe step up and smirked. What was she thinking? Was she deaf or something? The host was calling MISSY to the stage. How could Chloe disrupt this moment? Was she trying to bask in MISSY’s spotlight? Lisa thought Chloe's actions were utterly disgraceful. But truth be told, she was eager to see Chloe make a fool of herself.
Chloe stepped up beside David on stage. David looked at her with a warm, proud smile, then announced, “Let me introduce you to the chief designer of QUEEN Jewelry Group, MISSY.” The room fell silent, shock painted on everyone’s faces. The murmurs started.
“Isn't that Mr. Connor’s date, from the wealthiest family around?”
“I saw her at the Paris Designers Competition. She’s the Golden Chalice winner. You might not recognize her face, but you surely know about the 'Hourglass Dress' that took the world by storm.”
“Oh my gosh, it’s her! She’s MISSY. I love her work; she’s a genius in every field!”
“She’s stunning, just like I imagined a Western beauty to be. Oh my goodness, I'm smitten!”
