Julia's design was the reason she became famous, and it was all because she melded creativity and vitality together.

Every piece she designed was modeled by herself. She would go through a process of examining her own emotions and thoughts to create the perfect princess dream every woman had.

Selena was different.

Her work prioritized looking luxurious.

Her prices were extremely high in a bid to draw in the upper class.

This competition…

It was a showdown between two designers, and also between two major brands.

This time, Selena poured her heart out into the design.

She did not dare to take it lightly and wholeheartedly investing herself in the competition.

When the competition ended, Selena was the first to reveal her design.

Selena's team all gave her a thumbs up.

"Boss, your wedding gown is absolutely gorgeous."

"It's even better than Julia's famous masterpiece."

"Yeah! Boss, you are definitely going to win the International Designer Award this year."

Freya did not pay any attention to that.

She handed her design over to Ella to be projected onto the screen.

This time, Selena was even more shocked at what she saw as her eyes nearly popped out.

However, she soon burst out laughing. "Are you designing for a beggar?"

Selena's work was a luxurious and grand wedding gown.

Whereas Freya designed a simple dress with a veil and zero embellishments. It was even plainer than clear water.

What kind of girl would want a dress like that?

Freya nonchalantly smiled. "If there isn't a man who loves you, what use is a luxurious wedding dress?"

This design was a wedding dress she had once designed for herself.

A simple veil and a wedding dress with no adornments was the outfit she most wanted to wear at her wedding.

She designed this piece when she was eight years old.

Her mother had asked her why she wanted to design such a wedding dress that was not necessarily very attractive.

Young Freya had playfully stuck her tongue out and said simplicity was the best.

At that time, she had all sorts of beautiful dresses and a talented mother.

She wondered what would it be like if a dress had no color and no decorations.

When she designed this wedding dress, she thought it was very ugly as well. However, when she held the design up in the sunlight, she found the dress to be incredibly beautiful.

"What a joke! If the wedding dress is not extravagant, can it still be called a wedding dress?"

Contempt was clear on Selena's face.

Others also laughed with her.

"Only kids would design a wedding dress like that."

"Exactly! She doesn't even understand how to design a dress. She's just drawing whatever comes to mind."

"In this round, Selena is definitely the winner. Her wedding dress is the most beautiful."

Ella frowned.

She actually did not understand the intention behind Freya's design.

Freya could have created an amazing piece of work, but she instead chose to challenge Selena with a simple dress.

Freya ignored the chatter and held her design up to the sun.

At that moment, a miracle happened.

Everyone clearly saw lotus flowers blooming on the plain white wedding dress.

"Did you see that? There's a secret in the design."

"I saw it. This blooming lotuses are truly amazing."

"I thought it was plain before, but now, it's like an angel's dress. It's beautiful."

Selena also approached for a closer look and was equally astonished by the unconventional design in the design.

She incredulously stared at Freya as she trembled.

At first, she thought she would never lose, but now, she had a taste of the bitter sensation of failure.

Step by step, she approached Freya and asked in a shaking voice, "Who are you?"

"Who do you think I am?" Freya asked back.

A name popped up in Selena's mind.

She stared at Freya. "Julia?"

Upon hearing that, Freya shrugged and smiled. "Have you met Julia in person?"

"I haven't. Have you?" Selena stubbornly asked.

Freya blinked and played dumb. "Who I am is not important. What's important is that you lost."

"As long as you confess your identity, I-I will accept my defeat."

"What if I'm not?"

Selena did not believe her.

She felt that the reason Freya was so confident had to be because she was a high-ranking executive of Julia's brand.

The reason why she guessed that Freya was Julia herself was because traces of Julia could be seen in Freya's designs.

If Freya was not plagiarizing, she had to be Julia, right?

"Will you not concede defeat if I'm not Julia?"

Selena's silence made Freya raise an eyebrow and shot a question back.

Selena could not find words to refute the accusation

She could not accept her loss, after all. Losing to Julia was acceptable, but losing to a mere employee meant she could no longer work in the industry out of humiliation.

Selena's gaze remained on Freya.

Freya's cold demeanor and confident posture all indicated that there was something extraordinary about her.

"Julia is Julia, and I am me. Whether you admit it or not, you lost to a minor employee under her. The audience here saw it. If you still want to survive in this city, you better apologize to all the employees of Julia's store in front of everyone."

"You..." Selena stuttered for a while, clenching her fist in unwillingness to accept defeat.

Freya was beautiful and aloof with a graceful and confident demeanor.

That was precisely why Selena now looked like a clown next to Freya.

"If you want me to apologize to all of Julia's employees, then you must also apologize to me for plagiarizing my skirt design."

Selena did not want to settle things this way.

She refused to lower herself to apologize to a group of nobodies.

Freya knew that Selena would not give up easily.

With a smile, she said, "Since you claim that Julia plagiarized your galaxy skirt design, we'll have the audience decide who actually plagiarized whom."

After saying that, she said something to Ella.

Soon, the designer responsible for the galaxy skirt design, Ava, stepped forward.

"I am the original creator of the galaxy skirt, and Selena's employee plagiarized my design."

Selena was not convinced and asked Amy to defend herself.

"It's obvious that you plagiarized my design. How dare you try to argue that."

The two of them were stuck in an intense debate as their faces became flushed with anger.

Freya intervened. "Stop arguing. We'll have the audience be the judge of who designed the galaxy skirt."

"Now, please tell us about the concept and idea behind the skirt's design."

Amy explained, "The galaxy skirt is made mainly of spun yarn with hand-embroidered star patterns symbolizing a vast starry sky. Beside them, a girl is looking up with her head held high, making a wish upon the stars. My design concept for this skirt is to allow every girl to fulfill the dream she wished upon a star."

After hearing Amy's explanation, Freya clapped her hands. "Well said. Now, what about Ava?"
