Although there were some twists and turns during International Golden Finger Contest, it ended successfully.
Starlight Design Studio bagged the champion of that competition, and Stephanie became the world’s chief designer in her own name instead of Star.
As soon as the competition was over, a clothing copyright auction began.
Other designers at Starlight Design Studio had also been rewarded greatly. They had sold their clothing rights for every piece on display in the first and
second rounds of competition.
After the auction, everyone in Starlight Design Studio was ready to go to the celebration dinner in the hotel organized by Lela
Lela wanted to go with Stephanie in a car, but when she saw Vincent there, she was very sensible and didn’t play the third wheel.
Then, she planned to go with Julianna, only to find that the latter got into a black Maybach exasperatedly after answering the phone.
Lela shrugged and could only leave with the rest of the designers of Starlight Design Studio.
When Zane got in the car, he raised the partition.
Without waiting for Vincent to take the initiative, Stephanie sat on his lap.
“Are you so proactive?” The man smiled. His voice was deep.
Stephanie got close to him and sniffed. “I’ll just smell if you have her perfume on
nt was stunned and then understood what Stephanie meant. “You know it?”
Vincent was
Stephanie tutted softly. “I was told. When I walked down the aisle, some reporters put their phones in my face.”
“They’re asking for death wishes!” Vincent’s eyes instantly became cold, and his body exuded hostility.
He hated such things taken out of context.
However, he quickly calmed down and held Stephanie’s hand. “Stephie, trust me. I can explain it to you.”
Stephanie pouted and withdrew her hand to cover her ears, pretending to be angry. “I won’t listen! I won’t listen!”NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Looking at her cute appearance, Vincent couldn’t help but hug her tightly. “Sorry to make you suffer, but…”
Stephanie looked at the man, whose eyes were turning red. She was stunned.
Vincent gently leaned his head against her neck and said in an aggrieved voice, “Stephie, I am also aggrieved. That woman tried to dirty me.”
Stephanie didn’t expect Vincent to have such a pretentious side. He looked cute somehow.
She burst into laughter and said, “Uncle, can you st
stop pretending to be cute and innocent at
at such an old age?”
Vincent was stunned. He looked up at her and asked, “Am I that old?”
Stephanie couldn’t help laughing, thinking, “What I wanted to emphasize is the first half of the sentence, but why does this man focus on the second
half?”
She said, “Consider the seniority. Didn’t I address you uncle in the past?”
Vincent pinched Stephanie’s chin with his long and clean fingers. He narrowed his eyes while gazing at her. “Stephie, how many times should you call me uncle tonight?”
Hearing that, Stephanie’s lips twitched slightly. “Well, I won’t call you
“It’s too late,” Vincent said.
The burning kiss fell on her lips. As they made out, the kiss made her heart melt.
It was only 24 hours of separation, and the surge of yearning instantly drowned their minds.
In the confined space, there was only the sucking sound when they kissed each other intimately until the
man’s breathing gradually became heavier
He buried his head in her delicate collarbone and kissed it gently, for fear of leaving a trace on her neck.
When he looked up again, he saw Stephanie’s cheeks were red and her eyes blurred. She looked so cute and charming
“Have you decided what to call me tonight?” Vincent chuckled in a low voice.
Stephanie’s eyelashes trembled. “Honey.”
Vincent cupped her small face with both hands and kissed her fiercely. “If it weren’t for the celebration party, I would like to… He whispered the last two
words in her ear.
Stephanie bit her lower lip and blushed.
She said angrily, “You… You are a
You are a polished scoundrel!”
Vincent held her in his arms and said, “Let me hold you for a while. I’ll explain to you about that woman.”
Stephanie stroked the buttons of his white shirt with her fingertips. “I can figure out what happened.”
“Tell me,” Vincent said.
“The attendant dirtied your clothes and then tried to apologize while taking advantage of you. Then, she asked someone to take photos for setup.” Stephanie replied.
“You’re clever, Stephie, Vincent praised.
“These are all common tricks used by women to get ahead,” Stephanie scoffed.
Vincent chuckled. “You know it pretty well.”
“Of course. I don’t read novels for nothing.” Stephanie chuckled.
“Do you still read that kind of novel?” Vincent asked.
Stephanie snorted, “The heroes in the novels are all handsome, rich, and affectionate.”
“Isn’t that about me?” Vincent asked.
Stephanie held back her laughter and said, “Oh/they’re not uncles. They are all young men
Vincent tightened his grip on her waist and said, “I have made up my mind. What should you call me tonight?”
Stephanie was speechless. She cleared her throat and replied, “Well, I’ll stay with Julia tonight.”
“Your Julia has a date tonight,” Vincent said,
It left Stephanie in utter silence.
Meanwhile, Julianna looked sideways and saw Graham. “Why are you here?”
Graham glanced at her. “You don’t welcome me? Ain’t I here to cheer for you?”
“Hmph, you came here with Vincent!” Julianna scoffed.
“Why are you so heartless?” Graham grumbled.
Julianna turned her face away from the window. “Did you really come to see me?”
“Isn’t it normal for me to visit my wife?” Graham asked in return.
“We are a fake couple,” Julianna reminded.
Graham chuckled. “Well, I’m going to make it real tonight.”
Julianna looked at him abruptly with her hands covering her chest and asked, “What do you want to do?”
Graham laughed. “We’re a legal couple. I talked about it before marriage.”
Julianna gritted her teeth. “You said it after we got the marriage license. It doesn’t count!”
Graham just smiled but didn’t say anything. Julianna said a lot, but he turned a deaf ear to it.
Soon, the car stopped at the gate of the hotel.
Julianna got out of
ut of the car and ran to Stephanie, who had just gotten out of the car too.
“It’s terrible. Graham is going crazy.” She took Stephanie’s arm and walked toward the hotel.
Vincent was left with a gloomy face, cursing, Julianna is such an unnecessary third wheell
He looked at Graham, who was walking slowly toward him with a sneer on his face. “Can you stop Julianna from stealing Stephie?”
Graham hummed. “Well, I’m going to give Julianna to your Stephie tonight.”
Vincent was speechless.
Walking through the hall, Julianna asked Stephanie, “If I stay with you tonight, will Vincent end my life?”
Stephanie thought for a while and replied seriously, “He can’t end your life.”
Julianna breathed a sigh of relief and heard Stephanie continue, “But he’s determined to make you disabled.”
Julianna was speechless.
Since Lela arrived a little earlier with the designers, there was already an atmosphere of celebration in the banquet hall.
Those who could attend the banquet were all nobles, celebrities, and the upper classes. They were discussing what had happened in the competition that night, which was full of twists and excitement.
Of course, they were all big fans of Stephanie and Julianna.
As soon as Stephanie and Julianna walked into the banquet hall, they were surrounded by great applause. Two beautiful young blondes gave them a wreath of lily-of-the-valley flowers to wear on their heads
When Lela saw Stephanie and Julianna enter, she trotted up to them and hugged them. “Let’s get drunk tonight!”
Stephanie smiled and agreed, but Julianna felt it would be dangerous to get drunk that night. Yet, they were happy. It wouldn’t be fun without a few more drinks.
Lela led them onto the stage and began to express her emotions. “It’s not easy for Stephanie to achieve what she has achieved today, and I have witnessed it all the way. After she and Julianna founded Starlight Design Studio, I was angry that this woman loved someone else behind my back!”
The audience burst into laughter.
She continued, “But I’m sporting. After all, they’ve designed many beautiful clothes for me. Over the years, I’ve received many compliments on my suits designed by them, I hope that when I am 80, 90, or even 100 years old, I can still wear the clothes designed by them beautifully!”
Applause rang out for the friendship between them.
Lela smiled. “Stephanie, please lead us to the opening dance!”
At the same time, Graham held a glass of champagne and looked at Vincent, who was sitting in a wheelchair, “Vincent, I bet you want to stand up and walk over to Stephanie to invite her to dance now, wouldn’t you?”
Vincent pressed his lips and watched a tall man walk toward Ste
