It didn't take long for the audience to catch on. They screamed as if they had just seen something astounding. Even Thomas gasped in shock. Vania, one of the judges, wasn't an exception to the rule as she was also taken aback.
Hanson went up the stage calmly and waved at the crowd.
"Mr. Luke! Mr. Luke!" The crowd was in a state of total frenzy as they chanted his name.
Even Zephyr was petrified momentarily before professionalism got the better of him. He immediately snapped back to his senses, congratulated Hanson, and asked the equally shocked boys, "Did you see this coming, boys?"
The boys shook their heads. "No, we didn't. This is the third time we've seen him in three months."
"When did you become a designer, Daddy?" Morales asked in surprise. They had been around Hanson most of the time, but they didn't know their father was a designer.
"Three months ago," he said. "Everything else is a secret." I have to maintain my mysterious facade around the kids. He took the mic and announced, "Thank you for giving me the title of the champion. Thank you for acknowledging my work." He looked at Vania. "So, what do you think about my design, honey?"
Vania looked at him lovingly. "An undisputed champion. Congratulations."
Hanson's design was a crown, and it was beautiful and striking. There weren't many products like that on the market. Hanson answered affectionately, "And this crown is for you, my love. My Queen." He announced, "I'll have to use five minutes of your time, people. I want to crown my wife with this."
"Yes!" The crowd loved things like this the most, especially the reporter. This was such a great scoop, and they definitely reached their target for this month at the very least.
Hanson went down the stage and held Vania's hand. "This way, my Queen."
She blushed as she held his arm and went up to the stage. She could feel that her face was slightly burning when he led her onto the stage.
"I made this myself. This is my gift to you." He gently placed the crown on her head and praised, "You look amazing."
"Congratulations, my love." She hugged him.
"Kiss, kiss, kiss!" the reporters egged them on as they loved a bigger scoop.
Hanson waved them down. "We'll do that at home."
"Whoa!" The crowd was a little jealous.
"Fantasy Daydream, a subsidiary of Luke Corporation, is authorized to sell this crown. And a series of new products are coming soon. It'll be affordable too. Everyone here can get a free gift on release day. Just show your ticket for this competition." That was an exclusive gift Hanson gave everyone in attendance for such a memorable day.
"Thank you, Mr. Luke!" The competition was charity-themed anyway, so that fit the theme.
Zephyr happily said, "You'll be awarding the prizes then, Mia."
She picked the trophies up and handed them to the people she loved. "Congrats."
"We'll work harder."
The family raised their respective trophies in the air and made for a lovely sight.
However, Thomas thought it was a bit of an eyesore, so he left the venue long before it even ended.
The Internet went crazy with the news.
