Clifford, however, was let down. Valerie, the general manager of Mysteria Studio, was the one who walked onto the stage.Unbeknownst to him, Valerie was actually Seraphine's assistant. The host, with a beaming smile, declared loudly, "I'd like to inform our distinguished guests that L is regrettably unable to join us on stage for the award presentation due to a pressing, last-minute engagement. "Thankfully, this prestigious award—the GDA—will be accepted on L's behalf by the general manager of Mysteria Studio, Ms. Finch."In that instant, a wave of fervent applause swept through the area.Valerie offered a slight curtsy to the audience before stepping up to the microphone to deliver her speech. "I'd like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your steadfast belief in Mysteria Studio. "You see, our founder, the immensely gifted fashion designer L, dedicates herself fully to chasing inspiration, often journeying far and wide to gather ideas."Her latest collection, which has amaz

"Why would I lie to you? You were clearly the one who lied to me, Clifford," Seraphine said, looking bewildered. She couldn't believe Clifford had the gall to accuse her of such a thing.Clifford was seething, and with his bloodshot eyes and deeply furrowed brows, he finally snapped, "Why the hell didn't you tell me that you were a fashion designer?"In addition, Seraphine's pieces were nothing short of groundbreaking.Seraphine, finding it utterly ridiculous, scoffed. "Did I keep it from you, Clifford? I was working right beside your company the whole time! You would have actually noticed something if you truly cared about me. "I never once hid the fact that I had a job. You just assumed I was nothing but a housewife, only good for serving your needs. "I'd finish my work early every day. Then, I'd cook, clean, and make sure you were taken care of so you could focus on your job. I even looked after Chelsea and Elaine so that you could focus on your career. "Did you ever show m

Jason, in the middle of his bluster, was briefly stunned after hearing that. He recognized the man before him—Benjamin Linn, a major player in the fashion industry. His year-end live streams from selling clothes alone could rake in 100 million dollars in a single day. Benjamin had an uncanny knack for spotting talent. Any fashion designer with even a flicker of potential was immediately swept up by him, leaving his rivals to scramble for scraps. He had even poached several fashion designers Jason had been eyeing."What's going on here, Mr. Linn? You're aware that Clary's the one who won the GDA today, right? Isn't she the one you ought to be signing a contract with? Why would you sign with this nobody?" Jason blurted it out before Clarissa could even stop him.He didn't stop there. He pointed at Seraphine and said, "I know exactly what kind of person she is, Mr. Linn. Seraphine's nothing but a brown-noser and a housewife who only knows how to chase after men. "She's a total nobod

Though Clarissa was inwardly pleased, she still maintained a humble demeanor. She shook her head, saying, "You don't have to compliment me to such a degree, Jason. I've truly brought shame upon Clifford for not winning the GDA."Her fair face was drained of color, making her seem as delicate as a wildflower in a storm, a sight that made people want to draw her into their arms and comfort her.Jason smiled in response, his eyes gleaming in delight. He always favored Clarissa's innocent demeanor, so he quickly lavished praise on her, saying, "You're being far too humble, Clary. You know, if it weren't for you, Cliff would be struggling by himself. "Yet, now that you're here, Cliff's company's future is boundless! You see, we're all trying to ride on Cliff's coattails now. You're completely different from Seraphine—that deadweight—who's only fit to be a housekeeper…"He trailed off when he suddenly recalled his encounter with Benjamin earlier. He looked as though he wanted to say mor

Elliott smiled, then walked in behind Seraphine.Seraphine put her things away, then slipped into her bedroom to change into something more comfortable. She then prepared a cup of Earl Grey tea for Elliott before heading to the kitchen to prepare lunch.Elliott's gaze lingered tenderly on Seraphine's slender figure. She was so slender that he couldn't help but furrow his brows in concern, sparking a strong desire within him to help her put on some weight. Seraphine's delicate figure bustled about the open kitchen. She then grabbed a bunch of ingredients from the refrigerator, clearly at ease with cooking, as her movements were practiced and efficient.He couldn't help but wonder why Seraphine seemed to have no recollection of him whatsoever. Could it be that his looks weren't striking enough for her to remember, or were those past events simply too insignificant for her to retain? She had just turned adult then, and he had recognized her instantly. In addition, Seraphine, who ha
