Ten judges in total from various countries, scored each entry while the audience also had the chance to vote. The organizers displayed all the designs on the big screen for everyone to see. After a long deliberation, the judges completed their scoring, and the audience finished voting.The host invited all the contestants to the stage to announce the scores. The atmosphere turned quiet with anticipation as everyone waited. Coincidentally, Haley found herself standing next to William.William leaned in and whispered, "Do you think you'll win this time?"Haley shot him a sideways glance, annoyed. "Instead of worrying about others, you should focus on yourself. Whether I win or not, it won't change the fact that JY is stronger than Willow Sky Fashion.""You!" William's expression darkened, his irritation clear. He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said coldly, "If I win this championship, Willow Sky Fashion's crisis will naturally be resolved. Let's see what happens."As

As expected, the final showdown for the championship was between Haley and William. The host could not help but remark, "This year, the designers from Birkham have been exceptionally strong, claiming both the champion and runner-up positions."Now, let's reveal the winner of this year's competitionโ"William lifted his chin, a confident smile spreading across his face. He even took a moment to smooth out the wrinkles in his suit, certain that victory was his.But in the next second, the host announced that the true champion was Haley.William's expression darkened immediately. However, with so many eyes on him, he maintained a veneer of gentlemanly composure and refrained from reacting outwardly.Haley held the trophy and raised an eyebrow at him, her expression brimming with unspoken challenge.William's face turned ashen, and after the award ceremony, he shot Haley a long, hard look before leaving."You just wait. One day, I'll beat you," he muttered.Haley kissed the trophy

Haley winced and rubbed her forehead. She then looked up at them with sharp eyes. "Who sent you?"The man did not answer but instead signaled his subordinates to surround the car completely. "Youโll find out when you get there. Donโt worry, weโre not going to hurt you. Our boss just wants to invite you over for a chat. No harm intended."A cold smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. If they really meant no harm, would they be using such methods to "invite" her?From the driverโs seat, Dean kept a close eye on the men outside, his hand discreetly moving towards his waist. "Maโam, hold on tight. Iโll get us out of here."Haley frowned and shook her head. "No, there are too many of them. Donโt act rashly. Letโs find out what they want first."This trip to Salterra was personal, with only a few people aware of it. Haleyโs mind immediately flashed to Williamโs face, and she cursed him silently.The man in black stood calmly outside the car, his eyes fixed on Haley, confident that s

William winced, sharply inhaling as his eyes widened in disbelief. "You actually dared to hit me?"Haley shook her hand as if brushing off dirt, feigning disdain. "I hit you, so what? Did you want me to schedule an appointment first to hit you?"She had figured out that with someone like William, polite conversation was useless. Though it was a bit violent, she had to admit that slapping him felt incredibly satisfying.William sneered and signaled to his guards. "Since you donโt know whatโs good for you, I wonโt bother with pleasantries. Take her away."The guards swarmed them, separating Haley and Dean. Dean fought back fiercely, kicking several guards to the ground, leaving them writhing in pain. But Haley was quickly restrained and dragged upstairs.Dean tried to follow, but the guards overwhelmed him. Despite his strength, the relentless attack wore him down. In a moment of distraction, someone from behind seized Dean, twisting his arm and pinning him to the floor. William

Just as William was about to speak, Shane suddenly kicked him, sending him sprawling to the ground with a heavy thud. William clutched his chest, coughing violently, his eyes narrowing in fury. "Shane, do you even care about saving Haley anymore?"Shane sneered, stepping forward to press William down with his foot, his dark eyes filled with disdain. "Of course I care, but that doesn't mean I won't beat you to a pulp."With that, Shane bent down, grabbed William by the collar, and landed another punch. Blood surged up from William's chest, and he spat out a mouthful of it.Seeing that Shane had no intention of stopping, Haley hurried down the stairs and softly called out, "Shane, that's enough. If you keep going, he'll be in serious trouble."Shane scoffed, completely indifferent to William's well-being. "This scum is just wasting air by staying alive. Might as well put him out of his misery."William's eyelids fluttered as memories of a twisted, angry face and harsh words floode

Shane chuckled softly and scooped Haley up into his arms, striding toward the car. Caught off guard by the sudden lift, Haley let out a small gasp, her arms instinctively wrapping around Shaneโs neck. She shot him a playful glare. "Put me down! I can walk just fine."Instead of letting go, Shane only held her tighter. "Donโt move. If I drop you, donโt blame me."Haley gave up her struggle and nestled her face against his shoulder.Once inside the car, Haleyโs eyes softened with concern as she noticed the bruises on Shaneโs face. "What happened? Did you two fight again?"Shane reached up to touch his face, the injuries not severe but noticeable. He raised an eyebrow at her and grinned. "Yeah, but I won," he said with a hint of pride.Haley could not help but laugh, shaking her head as she rummaged through the first-aid kit for some ointment and cotton swabs. "Youโre too old for this. Fighting like some kid. What were you thinking?"Shane let out a chuckle, his tone carrying a hi

Shane paused mid-step, a teasing glint in his eyes as he looked at Haley. "It's just a bath. What were you thinking?"Haley froze for a moment, then quickly buried her face in Shane's chest, too embarrassed to say another word. "Oh no... How embarrassing!" Haley thought to herself. Shaneโs smile widened as he gently reassured her, "Donโt be shy. If Mrs. Ford is interested, Iโm more than happy to oblige."Haley quickly covered Shane's mouth, her wide eyes glaring at him. "Stop it! No more!""Alright, alright, Iโll stop," Shane chuckled, "Letโs just get you a nice hot bath so you can relax. Tomorrow, Iโm taking you somewhere special."Haley blinked, her curiosity piqued. "Where are we going?"Shaneโs expression turned playful, a mysterious smile tugging at his lips. "Youโll find out tomorrow."His secrecy only made Haley more curious. But no matter how much she pressed, Shane remained tight-lipped, leaving her to quietly anticipate what was to come.Later, after their bath, as

Because of what had just happened, Haley's lips were still slightly swollen when they left, making it unnecessary to apply lipstick. Once they were in the car, she touched her tingling lips and shot Shane a glare."Look at what youโve done! How am I supposed to face people now?"Shane sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck and tried to soothe her. "Don't worry, itโs not noticeable. Besides, you look beautiful even without anything on."Haley huffed, then asked, "So, where are we going now?"Shane kept it a secret, smiling slyly. "Youโll see when we get there."After about ten minutes, the car pulled up in front of a boutique design studio. Shane opened the door and smiled. "Weโre here. Letโs go in."Haley hesitated, glancing at the sign. "A design studio? Why are we here?""There's a surprise waiting for you," Shane said, taking her hand and leading her inside.The shop was quiet, filled with brand-new evening gowns, all uniquely designed and eye-catching. What caught Haleyโs a

Since that day, the number of bodyguards at Violet Grove had multiplied several times, and Shane even had the latest security system installed at home. It was a top-of-the-line model with built-in defense mechanisms. If anyone unfamiliar tried to break in, the alarm would go off instantly. After hearing about how close Evangeline and Nicholas had come to being kidnapped, no one thought these precautions were excessive. In fact, they only wished more could be done."This is just despicable! I canโt believe Xena could be so vicious!""We were too soft on her before. Someone like that is just a waste of air."Shane and Haley remained silent, but their thoughts were the same.Shane reassured everyone, "Itโs over. Xena will never have another chance to get out."Hearing this, everyone felt a bit more at ease."By the way, where are Mom and Dad? I don't see them," Haley asked, noticing that her parents were not around, though everyone else had gathered.Zac didnโt say anything but q

Just the thought of what could have happened made Haleyโs heart ache unbearably.The nannies stammered for a long time but couldnโt describe the person who had approached them. All they could recall was that the person had been thoroughly covered and that it was a woman.Shane immediately called his assistant, instructing him to investigate as soon as possible.It was past 3 a.m., and Haley still sat at the edge of the bed, unable to close her eyes. Her eyes were red from exhaustion and worry.Shane wrapped his arms around her, whispering words of comfort, "Donโt be afraid, itโs all over now. Everything will be okay."Haley sniffled and nodded. "I know, but Iโm still so scared. We were just in time. If weโd been any laterโฆ"Shane pressed a kiss to her forehead. "I wonโt let anything like this happen again. Trust me."At that moment, Shane's assistant, Dean, walked in, dragging someone who was covered head to toe.The person stumbled, falling to their knees in front of Haley and

Late that night, Shane and Haley finally sent off the last guest. Haley leaned heavily against Shane, exhaustion written all over her face. "Ugh, no one told me getting married would be this tiring. I'm never doing this again."Shane chuckled. "Who else do you plan on marrying besides me?"Haley blinked innocently at him. "Who says you can't marry the same person twice? That's what they do in books and dramas."Shane sighed, wrapping his arm around her shoulders and gently tapping her on the forehead. "You need to cut back on those dramas."Haley giggled, rubbing her forehead. "Hey, theyโre useful! Iโve learned a lot from them."Shane raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What did you learn?"A mysterious smile curved on Haley's lips. "Not telling you. You'll find out if you ever make me mad."Seeing that she wasnโt going to spill the secret, Shane let it go. He bent down and suddenly hoisted Haley over his shoulder.Caught off guard, Haley yelped in surprise. "Shane, what are you doing?"

Jenny and Charlotte stayed behind to keep Haley company. Jenny teased her with a grin, "Can you believe weโre all getting married now? Back in college, we used to imagine what our future partners would be like."Haley shot her a sideways glance and retorted, "Not โwe,โ just you. Bet you never imagined youโd end up with someone whoโs nothing like your ideal type, huh?"Back then, Haley was still engaged to James Ford. Though James was far from a good guy, Haley felt obligated to honor her motherโs dying wish and marry him. She didnโt spend much time fantasizing about love. Jenny, on the other hand, practically lived in her romantic daydreams."Oh, so youโre teasing me now?" Jennyโs face flushed for a moment, then she lunged at Haley, pretending to tickle her.Haley dodged, laughing, and soon the two were playfully tussling. Watching from the sidelines, Charlotte couldnโt help but smile along with them.Soon after, the wedding officially began. The venue was packed with guests,
Overflowing Affection From My Billionaire Uncle-in-Law Turned Husbandย ย ย Chapter 898
On the fifth of May, the wedding took place as planned.Shane had started preparing the venue two days in advance, meticulously arranging every detail himself. The expansive wedding grounds were filled with romance, from the long red carpet laid out on the lawn to the balloons adding a whimsical touch.Haley donned her wedding dress and let the stylists work their magic, crafting an exquisite look for her. Just then, Shane entered the room, standing behind her with a warm smile."You look absolutely stunning today, Haley. The most beautiful bride in the world," he said, admiration in his voice.Haley turned her head toward him, her face glowing with happiness. "Werenโt you busy greeting the guests? How did you find time to sneak in here?"Ignoring the people around them, Shane bent down and kissed her lightly on the lips. "I stole a little break to come see you," he whispered playfully.At that moment, a teasing voice interrupted them from behind. "You two really canโt stop showi

After what felt like an eternity, Haley was nearly out of breath when Shane finally let her go reluctantly. However, even though his lips had only pulled away slightly, his hands still firmly gripped her waist."Do you like it?" he asked, his deep eyes filled with affection.Haley blinked innocently. "Like what?""Me," Shane replied with a playful grin, his gaze never leaving her face. "Do you like me?"Her cheeks flushed, and her heart raced as she bit her lip and looked up at him. "Why donโt you guess?"Shane chuckled and pulled her onto his lap. "Iโd guess... you do."Caught off guard, Haley let out a small yelp and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, shooting him a playful glare. "You already knew, so why ask?"Her response only made Shane laugh harder. After a bit more playful banter, he held her close as they leaned back on the couch. Then he brought up their wedding. "I talked with Mom and your parents. We all agreed that our wedding will be held in a month.

Haley had always known how much Shane doted on Evangeline, treating her like the apple of his eye. But she hadnโt expected his protectiveness to reach such an extreme level. She couldnโt help but feel both amused and exasperated at the same time.Gently, she grabbed Shaneโs hand and comforted him softly, "Alright, alright, donโt be mad. Hugo is only a month old. He didnโt mean any harm. If anything, it just shows how lovable our Evangeline is."Shane sat on the edge of the bed, the tension in his chest easing slightly, but he still couldnโt shake off all his frustration. In his mind, he made a firm decision that he would do everything in his power to protect his little treasure from now on. No one would be allowed to get too close to her again.From that day on, everyone noticed how Shaneโs protectiveness over Evangeline had reached a whole new level. He barely let her out of his sight, as if he needed to be by her side 24/7. Anyone who dared approach her was met with a cold, pier

Jenny couldn't help but laugh. "You haven't seen this little guy when he's awake. He's a real handful. If you did, you'd probably take back all those compliments."When Hugo was awake, he was full of energy, and when he cried, his voice could shake the walls. Jenny looked at Nicholas and Evangeline, who were awake but contentedly sucking on their tiny fists, and said, "These two are so much easier. Theyโre quiet and calm, the more I look at them, the more I like them."Seeing the twins were awake, Haley quickly leaned over, gently poking their soft, chubby cheeks. "Awake already? You only napped for a little while."Nicholas stared up at Haley with his big eyes, silently taking her in. Evangeline, on the other hand, waved her tiny hand and let out a soft "ah," which nearly melted Henry and Jenny's hearts.Henry knelt beside the crib, unable to tear his eyes away from Evangeline. He playfully reached out to her, and when she giggled at him without fear, he adored her even more. "S

Haley took a small sip, smiling as she saw the eager look in Shane's eyes. "Mmm, itโs good.""Really?" Shane smiled as well, taking another spoonful for himself. He tasted it thoughtfully before nodding. "Yeah, itโs good. The seasoning is just right, and itโs refreshing. Even with the herbs, itโs not bitter at all."He quickly brought another spoonful to Haleyโs lips, feeding her until the bowl was nearly empty.Seeing Haleyโs good appetite, Shane tidied up the dishes and called Dean. "Tell the restaurant that all the chefsโ salaries are doubled this month."Dean was momentarily stunned but quickly recovered. "Got it. Iโll take care of it right away."As he hung up the phone, Dean couldnโt help but think, "When will it be my turn for a bonus?"As if Shane could read his thoughts, a low voice came through the receiver. "Haleyโs pregnancy has been tough, and youโve worked hard these past few months too. Your year-end bonus will be tripled, and youโll get extra vacation days. Spend
