The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet

Chapter 1794

Susan stepped onto the catwalk in a palette of purples, from her dress to her accessories, all matched in varying shades of violet. Her makeup mirrored the hues of her jewelry, creating a monochrome effect that, while cohesive, didn't do the jewelry any favors. Contrasting colors could have made her jewels pop, drawing immediate attention to them. Instead, the matching tones meant that the audience's focus was more on Susan's overall look rather than the standout pieces she adorned.

This approach often diminished the impact of the jewelry itself.

Thalassa, watching from the audience, felt a jolt of shock surge through her the moment she laid eyes on Susan's accessories. Her heart raced, blood pumping in reverse as she stood up abruptly, unable to remain seated.

The reason for her reaction? Susan's jewelry was identical to that worn by the second model!

The second model's outfit and jewelry were in contrasting colors, which highlighted the sparkle and design of the jewels instantly. Susan, model number three, had chosen a monochromatic scheme, requiring a more discerning look to appreciate the nuances of the jewelry. Thus, the audience's reaction was slower.

Rising to her feet, Thalassa became the center of attention in the silent room. Anger and disbelief painted her face as she stared at Susan still parading on the stage.

For a designer, having your work copied is the ultimate fear, and Thalassa was living that nightmare.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Lysander, too, noticed Susan and

the controversy unfolding. Pushing through the crowd in his wheelchair, he made a beeline for the judges table, where he confronted Wyatt, the head organizer-a man more imposing than Cody, with a slick, salesman-like demeanor

Wyatt, familiar with Lysander's once fearsome reputation in the business world, felt a flicker of his old fear. But then he remembered Lysander's current state-a former mogul now confined to a wheelchair, stripped of his former power.

Despite Wyatt's reluctance to halt the competition, Susan continued her performance on stage, treating the disputed jewelry as mere accessories to her ensemble.

Lysander's expression turned icy, a chill emanating from him as he sensed Wyatt's dismissive attitude. The air around him grew colder, his presence unyielding.
