His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 264

Another round of applause erupted from the audience.

“This time, my showcase is called Thorned Roses. Initially, though, my theme was Chrysalis Reborn, with sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds as the main stones. The meaning was simple—rebirth…”

Niamh paused, her gaze sweeping over the crowd.

In the audience, Jonathan lowered his eyes slightly, the word “rebirth” echoing inside him. He couldn’t help but dwell on it. He remembered telling Niamh that after Luminous Divas Fashion Week, he’d be handing her the divorce papers.

As the deadline crept closer, why had she changed the theme so suddenly? Niamh answered as if reading his thoughts. “For that, I have to especially thank Miranda, the editor-in-chief of Shine magazine.”

Miranda, caught off guard by the mention, blinked in surprise.

“It was Miranda’s sharp critique that made me realize Chrysalis Reborn wasn’t all that innovative. Her honest feedback pushed me to do better—and inspired me to change direction.”

The spotlight found Miranda, who beamed with genuine delight. In all her years attending the Jewelry Fashion Week, she’d never smiled quite this brightly.

“And next, I want to thank someone who isn’t even a friend.”

Burton Global Education Group.

On a distant sofa, Michael abruptly sat up straight, the gold rims of his glasses reflecting the screen’s light like twin beacons.

Niamh’s voice came through the live stream, as clear as if she were in the room with him.

“This person inspired my new theme. He tore a rose off its stem with his bare hands, thorns piercing his skin. Even so, he insisted the rose would still make a worthy gift. That moment made me think of a rose blooming from nothing, surrounded by a sea of green thorns. It also taught me that inspiration for design doesn’t always come from hours of brainstorming—sometimes, it’s sparked by the smallest, most ordinary moments in life.”
