Hope It's Not Too Late to Love novel Chapter 680

Chapter 680

The crowd broke into thunderous applause at the host's introduction. The competition gathered designers all around the world. There were also famous entrepreneurs and reporters in attendance as it was a big event.

The host said, "Let's give a warm welcome to our judges for today!" They were the top five designers in the world. "Let's give it up for Mia, Zephyr, Michaelis, Florum, and Luna!"

"Vania! Vania!" The audience roared her name in excitement as she was currently the top designer in the world.

"Hi, everyone." Vania waved at them happily. Her confidence brought out her beauty, and she looked gorgeous under the spotlight.

Someone was watching her in a corner, and that person was none other than Thomas. When he discovered Vania was joining the competition, he decided to show up and watch. He purposefully found and stayed in a quiet corner so that nobody would notice him. If someone were to ask him why he decided to watch the competition, he would have had no answer for it.

The host explained the rules of the competition and the grading system. "A hundred submissions made their way through the prelims, and here they are in the final selection. We'll be showing these submissions in ascending order of the marks they got. Our panel will give their verdict on every submission, and we'll pick the top three in the end."

The screen showed all the submissions from every angle. After about two hours, ten submissions were chosen to compete against one another. The results were almost the same as what everyone had in mind. So, the audience was satisfied with the results.

Morales and Morgan were excited to see their submissions making it to the final selection. Thus, they clasped their hands together tightly due to excitement.

Jude had an arm over each of their shoulders as he reassured them, "Calm down. You guys have it in the bag."

"Yeah. You're the best! It's great enough that you made the final selection." Lily was in awe.

James nodded. "I'm proud of you two."

Jack and Jacob also gave them a thumbs up. "Nicely done."

Hanson looked at his children and cocked his eyebrow. Oh, so they're competitors now. I bet Vania's going to be surprised that her whole family is competing.

"Morales and Morgan made it to the selection too?" Jennifer asked. She was beyond surprised that two young boys like them could participate in this competition.

Bryan held his forehead in exasperation. Don't get too surprised, he thought. This is just the tip of the iceberg. They can make a ton of money too. By scamming, of course. He explained calmly, "The boys got that from their mother. They're talented designers."

"Wow, that's awesome." Jennifer was impressed by the kids. They were sweet, intelligent, and competent. Now that's what they call prodigies.

Bryan took this opportunity to regale her of stories regarding the children. "And the kids are brilliant too. So, don't sell them short."

"Wow, that's awesome." Jennifer was even more curious now. Wow, they're like novel protagonists. She smiled at Morales and Morgan. "Good luck, boys. You can do it." She had a feeling they would make it to the top three.

"Thank you, beautiful lady."

Jennifer whispered, "So, can you tell me which submission is yours?"
