“We support Miss L! We support Jenny!” The crowd erupted, voices blending into one unstoppable wave of cheers.
Sierra’s face went ghostly pale. She stared at the crowd, her jaw tight with disbelief. Were they all idiots? Seriously? Just because Lydia had a big name and Blake had power, everyone automatically sided with Jenny? This was ridiculous.
Lydia raised her hand, asking for quiet. She looked calm, totally unbothered by the chaos.
“Thank you all for standing with us. If anyone still has doubts, let’s keep watching the competition. See for yourselves whether Jenny has the skill to back it up.”
Her words rang out, clear and steady, and the crowd responded instantly.
“Yes!”
“Let’s keep going!”
“We want the competition to continue!”
Lydia smiled politely. “Sorry for holding things up. Host, you can carry on with the contest.”
On stage, Sierra and Sharee felt like they wanted to disappear. They were basically the villains now, the kind everyone wanted to boo off the stage. Trying to tear someone down just because you can’t measure up yourself? It was pathetic, and honestly, kind of gross.
Luna shot them a furious look. So, these two were just bitter because they couldn’t win.
“Pathetic,” she muttered under her breath, then stormed off the stage.
Sharee was burning with shame. How was she supposed to keep competing after this?
The whole thing was being streamed live. Anyone, anywhere, could tune in.
Cameron and Kylie were glued to the TV, waiting to see if Lydia’s team could actually win something on the international stage. Mr. Norwood had nothing else going on, so when he heard Lydia’s team was competing, he had someone bring out snacks and fruit. He was ready to watch too.
Lucinda couldn’t care less. Lydia wasn’t even competing herself. It was just those designers from Greenward Power, and honestly, she thought their clothes were ugly. She had no idea how they made it to an international competition. Were the judges back home blind or what?
“I always wanted to be an international fashion designer, but it never happened,” Kylie said, eyes glued to the screen. “With Lydia’s talent, I know she’ll make it big one day.”
Cameron smiled. “Just look at how she runs Greenward Power. You can tell she’s going places.”
Lucinda forced a sweet smile and asked, “Mom, Dad, if my sister’s so talented at design, why isn’t she competing herself this time?”

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
