Keith could tell she didn't want to win.
He sighed. He really didn't understand why his sister was so afraid of Joanna.
Natalie didn't know what Keith was thinking. She only knew that now was not the right time.
Sebastian and Sean also spotted Natalie and Keith.
Sean found the dynamic between Natalie and Keith unusual.
He tilted his head, thoughtfully. "Sir, why do I get the feeling that Keith is always so respectful to Madam? It's like she's the real boss."
Sebastian gazed at Natalie's back, his voice low. "People are drawn to power. The capable always lead. Natalie has another identity: the legendary designer in the fashion world, Cora."
"What…" Sean's jaw dropped in astonishment.
Cora!?
Wasn't that the designer he had been trying to find for two years?
How could it be Madam?
Sean was completely reeling from Sebastian's revelation.
Natalie was Cora!?
Unbelievable!
Who said Natalie was just some girl from the sticks? They were about to get their faces slapped!
So, the master had been by his side all along.
And he had never noticed anything unusual about Natalie. He had seen her at her craziest, losing her mind over Sebastian.
He had been so moved by the way she had loved Sebastian, so carefully and with all her heart.
How lucky Sebastian was!
It was his own fault he hadn't cherished her, and that's why they had reached this point.
Sean felt like his feet were floating as he followed Sebastian into the venue in a daze.
At nine o'clock sharp, the competition began.
Under the flashing lights, the host enthusiastically introduced the sponsors and the rules for the day.
Keith looked at her. "Got it, Natalie."
He then handed her a hot latte. "Natalie, it's hot. Your favorite flavor."
Natalie's smile was radiant.
Sitting beside her, Sebastian saw Keith give her the milk tea and watched the brilliant smile light up her face.
Her genuine joy seemed to make everything else fade away.
He watched as she took a sip, her lips curving in a satisfied smile. Her girlish delight was impossible to hide, and he understood it at a glance.
Keith said something, and she laughed happily.
Sebastian’s expression clouded with a bitter envy. He had never seen her radiance directed at him.
In that moment, he finally understood the crushing weight of the void Natalie must have felt for years—a chasm between them that no amount of money or regret could ever bridge.
Suddenly, the name "J Company" was announced. Natalie looked up at the models on stage, and a wave of familiarity washed over her, instantly turning to rage. She whipped her head to the side, glaring at Joanna, who was sitting next to Keith.
Joanna returned her gaze with a provocative smile.
