Seeing Vera's triumphant expression, Faye Lockwood and Luna White were absolutely furious. But there was nothing they could do; Vera had proven her genuine skill.
Acclaim for Vera at the fashion design competition reached a new high. Her design talent had truly stunned everyone in attendance.
Every other designer felt they couldn't compare. This was to be expected from a woman who could establish herself in Aethelgard.
"Hmph. We'll just wait and see. I refuse to believe she can stay this smug for long. We'll have plenty of time to take her down later."
"Exactly. At the end of the day, Aethelgard is our turf. It's not her place to be so insolent here."
Seething, Faye Lockwood and Luna White left the venue.
Ian Lockwood could only shake his head with a wry smile. 'Victor Morgan asked me to look after Vera... but look at her. Does she seem like someone who needs protecting? It's more like she'd be the one protecting me.'
