She had been invited to the new collection launch. After all, she was a top–tier VIP client for many luxury

brands.

She leaned toward a paparazzo beside her and said quietly,

“When the model from Tidewhisper Lily comes out, you know what to do.”

“Don’t worry, Ms. Hale,” the paparazzo replied. “We already got some insider info. Their model this time? Not exactly clean. She used to take illegal stuff to lose weight. It got exposed before. And now she’s tied to several fraud cases.”

He gave a mocking snort.

He grinned wider.

‘Don’t worry, I’ll help them get famous. I’ve even got the headline ready–Tidewhisper Lily Accused of Using Controversial Model for Publicity–Where’s the Line in Marketing?“”

Monica gave him a thumbs–up. “Impressive. No wonder you’re one of the best. Nothing escapes you.”

“As you can see, the water lily embroidery looks vivid and alive. The style shading gives it a clean, refined feel. Pure and elegant–just like a flower rising from the pond.”

The moment she finished, the audience burst into applause.

The black–and–white gown, paired with the model’s figure, was stunning. It became the highlight of the entire show.

“She’s perfect for this style!” someone exclaimed. “That elegance, that presence!”

“Still the number one classical–style brand in Grandridge,” another said.

“Every year they outdo themselves. Classic and modern, perfectly blended. Just beautiful!”

Backstage, the team stood in awe.

“Wow,” Rita said. “Agnes fixed that gown in just one hour?”

Nadia nodded, still amazed.

“It used to be white, but parts of it were burned. She embroidered water lilies over the damaged spots. And

the scorched areas? She turned them into an in ash effect. It actually made the whole design stronger.”

Not only that, she turned the flaw into the highlight.
