Even though Luke tried to maintain seriousness, he couldn’t help but chuckle at her words, “I’m sorry, miss, our director came here by invitation, not someone begging to participate in the competition.”
At these words, Mia’s complexion had turned completely black. Yulianna also choked for words and glared fiercely at Luke.
“Being invited is impressive, huh? In the end, you’ll still lose face. Let’s wait and see.” She then grabbed Mia’s arm, “Why bother with someone like her? Let’s go in first.”
Luke, feeling repulsed by Yulianna’s attitude, added, “Being invited isn’t anything special. It’s just much better than certain people who begged to participate in the competition.”
Evelyn smirked.
How did she not notice before that Luke had such a sly side to him?
…
With the support of The Reid family, Mia was immediately surrounded by praise as soon as she entered. This made her feel that the chances of winning this time were even higher.
If it weren’t for the fact that bribing the chief editor of Fashion Creating Awards was impossible, she would have had Jasper find a way to help her secure the creative award.
Layla seemed to sense her unease, she whispered, “Don’t worry. the chief editor Zito is also from the capital city, and he’ll definitely give The Reid family some face.”
“I’ll introduce you to Editor Zito later. You can join the next Fashion Creating Awards competition at any time.”
The scoring system of the Fashion Creating Awards was very strict, but having one or two more contestants wouldn’t make much of a difference.
“Really?” Mia’s eyes lit up, feeling a sense of superiority. She was about to express her gratitude when suddenly, a scream came from Yulianna’s direction.
“What are you doing? Do you know how much this dress costs?”
Everyone turned to see what was happening, frowning at the sight before them.
In such a formal occasion, there was actually a beggar who had sneaked in. He held a piece of cake in his grimy hands, and a corner of the cream happened to smear on Yulianna’s dress.
The beggar seemed oblivious to Yulianna’s words, merely looking at the cake with regret. “Tsk, it’s dirty.” It was as if Yulianna’s dress, worth tens of thousands, was less valuable than a piece of cake.
Yulianna was furious and about to scold him when suddenly, a pair of hands appeared before the beggar, holding another piece of cake.
“If it’s dirty, you can have this one instead.” Evelyn smiled, “After all, that one has been contaminated with something dirty, and there are many bacteria on it.”
As the beggar turned to see Evelyn, his gaze softened, “Young lady, what a coincidence.” He took the cake and smiled as taking a bite.
Evelyn noticed that the dirt on his hands wouldn’t actually transfer onto the cake, realizing that his hands must have been intentionally dirtied.
Since the Fashion Creating Awards competition was held in the technology building, security must be tight. How could a beggar just casually enter like this?
Evelyn isn’t as foolish as Yulianna, she became more certain that this person was a top figure in the art world,
“I didn’t get a chance to thank you for that sketch you sent me last time. I liked it very much.”
Before the old beggar could speak, Yulianna suddenly came forward. Her voice was sharp as she yelled, “You know each other! Old man, did Evelyn order you to deliberately bump into me?”
As she spoke, she tried to push the old beggar forcefully. However, halfway through, Evelyn intercepted it.
“You bitch, let go of me,” Yulianna glared, trying to shake her hand free, but found herself tightly held by Evelyn, unable to move an inch.
At the same time, Evelyn exerted pressure. Soon, the quiet air was filled with the sound of bones about to crack.
Yulianna, sweating from the pain. tried to scream but couldn’t make a sound.
Just before she passed out, Evelyn slowly released her grip.
Leaning on Layla, who had rushed over, Yulianna accused, “Evelyn, this bitch, she conspired with this beggar to bully me, it’s outrageous.”
Seizing the opportunity, Mia stepped forward, “Evelyn, you knew Yulianna’s hands will be used for design in the future, why exert such force? You may not like me, but don’t hurt the people around me.”
Seeing the disdainful looks from those around, Evelyn smiled, “I pinched her because she used too much force against this old man, was she trying to kill him?”
Her words brought a sobering realization to everyone present.
They all remembered Yulianna’s ferocious demeanor just now. Now, thinking back, the scene was truly hair-raising.
Mia bit her lip, “Yulianna… she just loves this dress too much, so she lost control.”
This sentence sounded disgusting no matter how you heard it.
