Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 887

"You little flatterer, you sound exactly like Elena! You two are just hyping me up. If I don't win an award, I'm holding both of you personally responsible!"

Time flew by in a blur of hard work.

After a grueling month of preliminary rounds, the design competition finally reached its grand finale.

On the day of the finals, a massive crowd of media outlets flooded the venue.

In addition to the press, several top-tier business tycoons from Cresden City had been exclusively invited to watch the runway show.

Sienna Hayes personally led the team. LUMEN Studio had successfully pushed three designers into the finals, Claire being one of them.

In the backstage dressing room, Sienna did her final rounds. "Claire, is everything perfectly in place?"

"Don't worry, Director. The model is fully dressed and just waiting for her cue!"

Sienna inspected the intricate garment on the model and nodded in deep satisfaction.

"Claire, this piece of yours—'Wildwood Whimsy'—is going to completely dazzle the audience. I have a very strong feeling you're going to place at the top! Make absolutely sure nothing goes wrong between now and your runway walk," Sienna stressed.

She had placed incredibly high hopes on Claire's shoulders.

Claire's heart pounded with excitement. "I won't let you down, Director!"

Sienna nodded approvingly and moved on to check on the other designers in the neighboring rooms.

Meanwhile, in another section backstage.

Isabella Bennett walked in and immediately turned to Elaine Turner. "Are we all set?"

"Don't worry, Ms. Bennett. Everything is flawless."

"Excellent! Your number is up early, so she'll be walking soon. Do one last thorough check. We absolutely must crush LUMEN Studio tonight."

"Understood!" Elaine nodded sharply.

She stared at her design with intense satisfaction, brimming with confidence that it would secure her the first-place trophy!

"Boss!" Sean's typically icy expression melted into a bright, stunning smile the moment he spotted Elena in the crowd.

It was like watching a frozen glacier suddenly thaw into springtime.

Claire turned around, her face lighting up with joy. "Elena! I was just looking for you."

"Are the clothes all ready to go?"

"Yes, all set. I just did a final inspection. Everything is perfect!"

"Awesome. I'll head back to the audience and wait to cheer for you."

A short while later, the host stepped onto the stage, officially kicking off the highly anticipated finals.

Eight prestigious judges sat in the front row, all of whom were internationally renowned fashion icons.

Securing a panel of this caliber proved just how much weight this competition carried in the global industry.

One by one, models strutted down the runway showcasing the stunning designs as camera flashes fired relentlessly.

"And next, representing Prism Creative Agency, please welcome Designer 06, Ms. Elaine Turner, presenting her latest masterpiece!"

As the host called her name, Elaine and her model confidently stepped out from the wings.

The moment the model hit the lights, a shockwave rippled through the entire venue!
