Chapter 239

The live stream was blowing up, no joke.

#Sandglass# shot straight to the top of trending searches. Chloe’s name was plastered everywhere. Industry insiders were already bowing down, totally in awe. Even folks who were just there for the show were blown away, replaceing the design deeply moving.

Jacob and Leah were glued to the live stream, too. When they saw the Sandglass gown slowly unravel, Leah was on the verge of tears and thought, ‘Chloe, my Chloe, is so incredible. Her design is as breathtaking as ever

As her mom, Leah’s heart swelled with pride, but then a bittersweet feeling washed over her. Was she still Chloe’s mother? It seemed like Chloe wanted nothing to do with her

anymore.

Thinking back on the last three years, Leah felt a wave of regret. She had done so much to hurt Chloe, all for Lisa. She thought she was making it up to Lisa, but after seeing Lisa’s true nature, it all felt pointless. Too bad she realized it too late.

Meanwhile, Jacob was practically shaking with excitement. Chloe had created something so stunning it took his breath away. No doubt about it, she was a true Meadows. She was his daughter. Only a genius like Chloe could steer Belle Époque into a bright future. Maybe one day, it could be a globally recognized luxury brand. The more Jacob thought about it, the more thrilled he got. Today had been full of surprises. His two daughters–one a genius, the other a genius among geniuses.

He grabbed Leah’s hand. “Leah, did you see that? Their designs will definitely win awards. It’s unheard of for one brand to sweep two major awards. This is a game–changer.”

“Maybe from today, Belle Époque will be world–famous. And our stock? It’s gonna skyrocket tomorrow!” Jacob was bursting with confidence

Over at the CNR Tower, in the CEO’s office, Connor was fixated on the live stream on his

computer.

Teddy had been standing there for a while. When he came in, Chloe was on the screen, so he didn’t interrupt. Now that Chloe had gone backstage, Teddy finally spoke up, ‘I didn’t expect Ms. Chloe to be such a design whiz.”

Connor was frowning. “Teddy, did you notice the model next to her?”

Teddy thought for a moment. “Yes. He looks very professional, lots of charisma. Why, boss?” “Did you think his eyes looked familiar?”

The camera had mostly focused on the Sandglass gown, with very few close–ups of the model’s face. It was just a fleeting second, but Connor had seen those eyes. They reminded him of… Pax.

But the live stream didn’t have a replay option. With just that one second, Connor couldn’t be

sure.

Teddy said, “Familiar how? He was wearing a mask, so I didn’t get a clear look.”

Connor was silent for a moment. “Have we tracked down Pax’s whereabouts yet?”

Teddy caught on immediately. “You think that model might be Mr. Pax?”

But he quickly shot down the idea. “No way. Even though we don’t know his exact location, we can be sure he should be in Italy right now.”

Teddy had checked Pax’s family’s credit card statements. A few days ago, Pax had bought a ticket to Italy. There had also been several recent large transactions made in Italy. Plus, there was no record of a return ticket.

So yeah, he should definitely be in Italy.
