Chapter 235



The showcase had kicked off with a bang.

Designer No. 1 played it safe, presenting a gown inspired by the night sky. The hem was studded with crystals, shimmering like the Milky Way and symbolizing the infinity of time. As the model glided down the runway, the designer stood at the podium, explaining the creative vision behind the piece.

Typically, a model strutted her stuff for about three minutes. After the walk, the designer and model exited the stage together. During this time, the judges started scoring based on various criteria. These scores were transparent and displayed on a screen behind the stage, and a composite score was calculated from all judges' inputs.

Designer No. 1 garnered a composite score of 80, which was pretty solid.

Next up was Lisa. Her model sashayed in a breathtaking floral dress. The dress was a tapestry of flowers-each type and color meticulously arranged to create a visually stunning balance. The expansive skirt trailed behind, covered in blossoms of all sizes, filling the air with their sweet fragrance.

Lisa took to the stage to introduce her creation. "My piece is called 'Timeless Garden,' symbolizing the eternal change of seasons..."

The audience's reaction said it all-they were utterly impressed. The judges nodded and whispered among themselves, clearly captivated. After her presentation, Lisa and her model exited the stage. Backstage, Lisa glanced at the big screen, and her heart leaped. The judges had awarded her a whopping 95. This was an extraordinary score, even surpassing last year's Luminous Creation Award winner, who had only managed a 93.

Lisa was ecstatic. It seemed like the

Luminous Creation Award was practically hers. She couldn't wait to check her phone. She joined a live stream with nearly a hundred million viewers and saw her design was the talk of the town. The praise was overwhelming, not just for her creation but also for her talent. Lisa's name quickly became synonymous with a design genius.

Meanwhile, Jacob and Leah stood outside the live stream room, equally astonished by Lisa's 'Timeless Garden.'

Jacob had always thought Lisa's designs were good but felt they always lacked something. Her usual work had moments of brilliance but was marred by poor execution in other areas. It was like looking at a phoenix adorned with the feathers of a common bird. However, today's piece was flawless, touching the soul with its essence.

Jacob was overwhelmed and grabbed Leah's hand. "Our daughter was a true genius, a real talent."

Leah, however, frowned slightly. Something about the design felt eerily familiar.

As Lisa basked in the flood of online praise, she turned and saw Chloe's piece. A wave of unease washed over her. Having spent years in the design industry, she could tell at a glance that Chloe's work was no ordinary creation. It posed a serious threat to her chances of winning. If Chloe snagged the Luminous Creation Award and Lisa got another prize, it would be a loss for her. Lisa couldn't let that happen.

Meanwhile, Chloe was making the final tweaks to her piece. She was the 22nd to present, with an hour to go. The outfit was already on the model, but minor adjustments were needed due to its unique material and the model's physique. Chloe was laser-focused, perfecting every detail. A crowd gathered around her, watching in awe as if they were witnessing an artist at work.
