"Mommy! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to...!"

Arthur lay on the ground, staring at the spilled ashes, his little face crumpled with regret. He had meant well but had messed up everything instead.

"Master Arthur!"

Quincy and the others were caught off guard. They froze for a moment before rushing forward, unsure how to respond.

Bruce sighed, shaking his head at his younger brother's clumsiness.

Caitlin frowned as she walked over, first checking Arthur for injuries. Once she was sure he was unharmed, her gaze shifted to the ashes scattered on the ground.

Tears streamed down her face.

Her heart ached deeply.

But how could she scold her own son? Arthur was already devastated.

"I'm sorry, Mommy..."

Caitlin knelt down and began to scoop the ashes back into the urn with her bare hands, her movements careful but heavy with grief.

Arthur, still trembling with guilt, cried out, "I'm so sorry, Grandma! I didn’t mean to spill you! I'm sorry..."

So glaring.She had assumed the only buzz online was about her outburst at the design competition. Knowing people would be criticizing her for it, she had intentionally avoided looking at the news or any comments. That’s why she had no clue when the new scandal had broken.Once she checked the timestamp, she realized it had been released the very day the design competition ended.It had to be Caitlin.That woman had clearly timed the release to maximize damage—just to humiliate and destroy her completely.What a vindictive bitch!Zora immediately shifted all blame onto Caitlin and snapped at Yasmin, “Th

    Ever since the conclusion of the Grand Design Expo, clips of Zora challenging the judges' authority began circulating online. No matter which segment it was, Zora came off as irrational—despite winning third place, she still questioned the judges' decisions.The internet erupted in backlash.\[Does she really think her designs are the best? Arrogant much?]\[It’s her again! She rigged the results as a judge during the piano competition. Now that she’s a contestant, she suspects everyone else of cheating? Pathetic.]\[Clearly can’t handle losing. She made a bet to quit the design world if she lost, and now she’s just throwing a tantrum.]\[With that attitude, I’d never wear anything from her brand. Disgusting.]\[The first-place “Divine Light” collection was a thousand times better than her heavy mess of a lineup

    “Ah—!”As Zora stepped down from the stage, her foot slipped and she tumbled forward hard.The fall was sudden and completely ungraceful. Her dress tore at the hem, leaving her sprawled awkwardly on the floor—utterly humiliated.Lying on the cold ground, she could feel every single person’s eyes fixed on her. This was the kind of moment people had nightmares about—a total public meltdown.She wanted to disappear into the floor.Thankfully, the pregnancy was still in its early stages, so she didn’t suffer any serious injury. But Zora, too embarrassed to open her eyes and face the world, simply pretended to pass out.“Zora!”Ximena rushed over in a panic, kneeling to help her up.“Something happened! Miss Harris just collapsed!”&ldqu

    “What else can I do? The moment we made that bet, you must’ve already started pulling strings, right? Using your identity as Kayla—don’t tell me you *don’t* know the judges today? Are you seriously claiming you didn’t grease any wheels?”Zora’s petty accusations finally crossed the line, and even Justin couldn’t stay quiet anymore.He and Caitlin had poured their hearts into this competition. It was exhausting enough to prepare, and now someone was accusing them of cheating?Many in the audience started to feel Zora was being unreasonable.Wendy and Molly exchanged looks—what was wrong with this woman? She lost. Fair and square. Why couldn’t she just admit it?Sebastian had heard enough. Zora’s constant attacks on Caitlin were clearly coming from a place of bitterness. He whispered to Tyler to bring someone i

    “If you hadn’t tampered with the results, how could I possibly be in third place?”Zora finally voiced her dissatisfaction. Caitlin gave her a faint smile and responded, “Do you think every judge scores like you do—based on favoritism? Today’s judging was purely about the design. The audience isn’t blind, and neither are the judges.”Her words weren’t polite, and the implication was clear: just because Zora had manipulated the scores at the piano competition didn’t mean everyone else did too.“Oh, right. You say it was about design. But what about that second-place designer? In what world does his work deserve to outrank mine? My designs are clearly superior in every aspect. Unless you bribed the judges, how else would you and that guy land first and second?”Zora wasn’t giving up.Onstage, to the audie

    The more Zora watched, the more anxious she became.Caitlin’s collection featured a seamless blend of whites and blues. What truly caught the eye was the uniqueness of each design—delicate embroidery in silver thread added just enough detail without overwhelming the minimalist elegance.In a desperate move to sabotage Caitlin’s chances of winning, Zora poured water from her bottle onto the runway as a model passed nearby, using the misty atmosphere as cover. A wet runway would become dangerously slick, increasing the risk of a model slipping.But once again, her plan failed.Every model passed over that section with perfect poise—no slips, no faltering steps.Zora clenched her fists in frustration.
