His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 180

And by a stroke of luck, she'd even managed to guess BYC's true identity.

"Does Niamh have some kind of secret she can't talk about?" Peter mused. "If she'd just revealed she was the legendary BYC, she wouldn't have had to compete at all—Luminous Divas Fashion Week would have begged her to headline."

"Yeah… She definitely has her reasons," Peter replied, scratching his head. He couldn't really explain it either.

The truth was, even he had no idea why Niamh hated being in the spotlight so much.

But there was one thing he did know for certain: the inspiration behind Niamh's Grand Piano Collection hadn't come from any happy memory.

And whatever that painful story was, Niamh never spoke a word about it.

Liam Grant promised Peter he wouldn't breathe a word about Niamh being BYC.

After the awards ceremony, Niamh was absolutely swarmed—journalists, collectors, movers and shakers in the industry, all fighting to get close to her.

The other designers quietly packed up and left, while Marina just stood there on stage, frozen and alone.

No one spared her a glance.

Watching Niamh crowned the darling of the evening, Marina's face twisted with jealousy.

Pulling out her phone, she glanced at the time and dialed Jonathan's number.

Outside, the Sapphire Summit Hall was bathed in the soft golden glow of night, the lights mellow as a lullaby.

It was late before Niamh finally found a quiet moment to pack up her things.

"Congratulations."

Niamh's face broke into a wide, genuine grin when she saw Peter.

"I did it! At least I've ticked off the first item on the investors' list," she said, only now realizing how much more pressure there was running a company than just working for one.

"Come on, let me treat you to a late-night snack."

"Hold up!"

Suddenly, Niamh heard Preston Winslow's voice—and was surprised he was still here.

"With me around, you won't be buying anyone dinner tonight. Niamh belongs to my table tonight," Preston declared, grinning.

Peter knew who Preston Winslow was, but they weren't close.
