From Divorced Wife To The Top Heiress novel Chapter 91

“Kiddo, this is your chance to finally settle that old score from years ago,” Joseph’s voice boomed.

“Your grandpa took the liberty of entering you into a design competition. You have to be here today. You had to drop out because of that emergency, and then your designs were stolen. With your talent, you should have won first place.

“I heard the winner was some young woman named Eliana Lambert,” he continued. “You have to beat her today. I’m waiting for you, so hurry up.”

Joseph Hayes was a titan in the fashion industry, a living legend who had been creating magic since he was

young.

Serena was taken aback. ‘So Eliana won first place that year?‘

She’d been so preoccupied with Dylan’s car accident back then that she hadn’t paid any attention to the competition.

As the heir to Cloudmere Estate, she was expected to excel at everything.

Her grandfather had pushed her to learn many things that didn’t interest her, always patiently reminding her that skills were never a burden and that continuous learning was the only way to grow.

Every one of Joseph’s runway shows dominated the fashion headlines, each one a breathtaking spectacle.

“Don’t even think about bailing,” Joseph’s voice cut through her thoughts. “Your grandpa set this up. He knows you have regrets about what happened, and he saw this as the perfect opportunity, given the trouble your company is in.

“If you design the fall, winter, and summer collections yourself, you could turn your company around. I’ll even do a runway show for you to build buzz, but only if you win first place.”

Serena was momentarily speechless.

Hearing the affection in the Joseph’s voice, a warm smile spread across her face.

“Alright, Joseph. I’m on my way, but I haven’t prepared anything.”

“With your talent? You don’t need to prepare. Let inspiration strike on the spot. Just get over here. I’m one of the judges, but I’ll be completely impartial.”

Serena knew that. A single word from Joseph could make her famous overnight, but he never played favorites.

To win his approval, you had to bring your A–game.

“Okay, Joseph. I’ll get ready and be there soon.”

“I believe in you, kiddo,” he said warmly.

Serena smiled and hung up, but before she could ask Chris to get the car ready, he was already calling her, his voice buzzing with excitement.

She answered as she walked. “Chris, what’s up?”

“Ms. Hale, the Kismet Bar is having its grand opening tonight! With a top–tier mixologist like Julian Sinclair behind the bar, every Kismet Bar location is going to be packed. We’re already fully booked.”

Serena hadn’t forgotten.

“I know. The Lamberts or even Dylan might send people to cause trouble tonight. Make sure you have enough security, especially in the kitchen. No unauthorized personnel. I want every inch of that place under surveillance, except for the restrooms.”

Chris chuckled. “Ms. Hale, Yolanda has it all under control. I went over everything with her last night. The facilities and surveillance are all set.”

“Good. Get the car,” Serena instructed.

After hanging up, she went upstairs to get ready. She changed into a chic, vintage–style black utility shirt and matching black trousers. Fashionable diamond earrings added a touch of sparkle. The simple combination created a look worthy of a high–fashion autumn runway show.

She also packed outfits for all three rounds of the competition.

For a fashion event, she needed to look stylish and effortlessly elegant.
