Chapter 122
Jonathan stood in front of the floor–to–ceiling window in the office. It suddenly started raining outside
He was long absorbed in his thoughts,
Their encounter as adults was just as dramatic. Even aller more than a decade apart, he recognized her at a glance
At that time, her life also suffered a major slow
She always thought such a bright and cheerful little girl would live to be a beacon of light. But at that time, she had severe insomnia and had a lot on her mind.
Despite appearing carefree on the surface, her heart was filled with scars.
At that moment, he decided to love her wholeheartedly. So he became her toy boy, trying his best to love, please, and heal
her.
Even though he knew she only saw him as a toy boy, he also knew it was the only way he could love her as that.
But with Whitney’s sudden return, it was all over.
The calm sea was already rippling. Perhaps soon, it would eruptinto huge waves, engulfing all of them.
What ability did he have to keep her safe? It was difficult.
On the surface, Whitney was the eldest heiress who dominated the business empire. But deep down, she was a madwoman
a complete lunatic who could go insane at any moment.
Without being fully prepared, he could only lie low, staying away from her! Perhaps this was the best outcome now. Jonathan watched as the rain outside grew heavier, gazing at the misty world immersed in the rainstorm.
He didn’t want Cynthia to get involved in this dark, dirty, bottomless feud between the wealthy. One misstep could lead to her complete destruction.
On the other side, Pillere Fashion Design Competition was still in full swing
Backstage, Shirley watched as Cynthia returned with her model, gritting her teeth angrily.
She never expected Cynthia’s design to be so amazing, especially the final design where the skirt fell away. It was simply a display of tricks taken to the extreme.
Shirley stared at the display screen of the fashion show. At this moment, it was calculating Cynthia’s overall score.
Cynthia’s work truly stunned all the judges. However, there was one aspect where she was at a disadvantage.
This was because the judges scored during the model’s presentation, and some were accustomed to giving scores as soon as the model went on stage. Hence, most of the judges hurriedly submitted their scores before seeing the skirt fall away.
However, the scoring mechanism couldn’t be changed. Perhaps Cynthia’s score would have been higher if it had been a
minute later.
The overall score was finally calculated. It was 95 points.
Shirley breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the score. It was higher than hers, which meant she didn’t necessarily have

to lose.
Cynthia’s “Sands of Time” was quite good, but Shirley’s “Four Seasons Garden” had an advantage in terms of color and visual appeal.
The live stream was also comparing both works. A umanimous clusion that they were evenly matched with no clear winner. Ultimately, it was up to the judges.
The show lasted six hours. Once all the designers‘ works had been showcased, the only thing left was the awards ceremony
The awards were based on the overall scores, and various awards were awarded to the top ten designers in their overall
scores.
In other words, the top ten designers in overall scores were eligible for international awards, but specific categories of the awards would be determined by the judging panel.
Among the hundred designers this time, the highest score was 96, held by Cynthia and Shirley.
Of course, many people were discussing the relationship between the two. Domestic netizens also dug up information about
them
One was the daughter of the Jones family, while the other was the adopted daughter. The debate over who was the real daughter became a hot topic online.
Naturally, “Velorix” became the biggest winner of this competition, practically sweeping all the awards.
isn’t Velorix a second–tier clothing brand in the country? When did it become so impressive!]
I also saw the clothes of this brand at the exclusive store yesterday. Some were quite nice, but nothing particularly outstanding. I didn’t expect the designers from their company to be so talented.]
[I’ve been following Velorix for a long time. The clothes designed by this brand three years ago were stunning, even better than those famous brands. But somehow, these past two years, it seemed like they’ve lost their touch. I thought they’ve changed designers.]
[Although I don’t know much about design, I know that Velorixi about to explode in wealth and success.
Justin was watching the screen, so excited that he didn’t know what to do.
Compared to his two daughters, whether it was Cynthia and Shirley, he valued the clothing brand he had built himself even more. Whoever could bring greater profit to the company would be considered his real daughter.
But now, Shirley and Cynthia were standing on the podium.
The whole world was discussing this brand. It was a highlight moment for the company and the brand. Such glory and pride were unparalleled
Shirley stood on stage with Cynthia. Models also wore the designed outfits, showcasing them in a collective catwalk on the stage for the final display.
Cynthia’s “Sands of Time” no longer had the long skirt, but it still left a striking visual impact. Naturally, “Four Seasons Garden” was the same. Both works had their supporters among the judges.
Soon, the international category awards began to be presented.
Shirley stood nervously on the stage. She wasn’t afraid of not winning an award. Instead, she was worried about winning
Because once she won a category award, it would mean missing out on the highest honor, the Golden Pinnacle Award

The category awards no longer satisfied her ambitions. Her current goal was the highest award in the competition, the Golden Pinnacle Award
Judging from the overall score, she and Cynthia were most likely to win this award. After all, their overall scores were the
It was almost certain that the Golden Pinnacle Award would go to one of them.
Shirley was extremely nervous. She secretly glanced at Cynthia who was standing opposite her.
Cynthia appeared calm, elegant, and composed, without a hint of nervousness on her face, and even wore a faint smile. It was as if she was there to enjoy the show, not to compete.
‘She’s just pretending! She must be just as nervous inside, trembling as I am. Or is she so confident in her work? Does she think her “Sands of Time” can surpass my “Four Seasons Garden How arrogant Shirley scoffed inwardly.
“Now, I’d like to announce the winner of the Best Design Award: Cynthia Jones, the designer from Velorix. Please come on stage to accept your award!” the host said.
With that announcement, Shirley was so excited that she almost screamed.
Cynthia won the Best Design Award, but it was merely a category award.
Although the rules of the design competition allow for the Golden Pinnacle Award to overlap with category awards, in all the years since the competition was established, there was never a precedent for anyone winning two awards.
In other words, since Cynthia won this category award, the Golden Pinnacle Award would be hers!
Watching Cynthia go up to receive the award, Shirley felt overjoyed and excited again.
The awards continued to be presented, and Shirley kept praying that the category awards wouldn’t be awarded to her.
Sure enough, as the category awards were presented one by one her name wasn’t called. In the end, only the Golden Pinnacle Award remained.
Deep down, Shirley was very certain. She smiled, as if the Golden Pinnacle Award was already in her grasp.
“Now, I announce that the winner of the Golden Pinnacle Award is… The host slowed down their speech, deliberately building suspense.
