The Good Girl's Revenge

Chapter 471

Meredith was only slightly suspicious when they ran away. Now she was sure and she planned to catch

up with them and ask them.

However, before she could leave, someone came up behind her. "Miss Mason, the ceremony is about

to begin."

Since Meredith was the design representative of the Xavier Group, she had to give up the plan.

Meredith could not help sighing as she watched the two men go further away.

She had a premonition.

"What's wrong?"

After the ceremony began, Derek left the crowd and walked to Meredith. Seeing her strange

expression, he asked.

"Nothing..."

Meredith shook her head. She didn't want to say anything that she was uncertain about.

What was more, no one knew where they were, and it was useless for her to say it.

How could Derek not see that she was hiding something? His eyes darkened a little and he said with

certainty, "You are hiding something from me."

Meredith was about to speak, but the host had already called her on the stage to speak.

"Please welcome Miss Meredith Mason, the silver prize-winner of this design exhibition, to speak on

stage!"

Meredith immediately got up and walked up.

"I am very happy to receive this award, and I am very proud to be able to participate in this exhibition. I

am an amateur myself, and I have only been engaged in design for five years, so there have been

many failures while I was exploring this road... But fortunately, I have come this far and I have finally

achieved some results. Thank you for your support."

Meredith said slowly, following the prepared script.

Everything went smoothly. When Meredith was off the stage, Tina, the biggest winner, stepped up.

Compared to Meredith's calm and humble appearance, she seemed much more content and proud at

the moment.

"I'm Tina from the Horton family. Many people may not have heard of my name, but it doesn't matter.

I'm very happy to beat one person in this competition."

Tina's sight fell on Meredith.

The owner of the Horton Family also had an inexplicably smug look on his face.

Last time, his youngest daughter lost to this unknown woman. Not only did he lose his reputation in

design, but he was also disfigured because of an accident. According to him, Meredith was directly

responsible for all this.

This time, it would be best to keep her from winning the prize.

Meredith would be Tina's best stepping stone, turning her from an unknown person into a popular one.

"This person, who once beat my sister, just said in her speech that she had only been engaged in

design for five years. It's not known how she won my sister, who was trained since she was a child.

After all, the last match was hosted in a place in her favor. Fortunately, the judges were impartial this

time and gave our Horton family the results we deserved."

As soon as this was said, all the people present were whispering.

It was clear that Tina was going to use her own grade to step on Meredith and climb up.

What was more, her speech also implicated that the judges last time were unfair. They were partial

towards Meredith because of the Xavier Group behind her.

Many people looked over gloatingly. The two winners were battling, and they naturally enjoyed

watching the show.

Derek's expression turned cold. Although he knew that the Horton family had always been restless, he

did not expect them to mess around in such an occasion.

Meredith was also a little speechless. Last time, the competition was fair and square. Even if she had

won with some luck, she still had a clear conscience.

But this Tina... Clearly she was using someone else's design. But now she could say such things with a

straight face, which made Meredith annoyed.

"Do you mean I am abysmal?"

Meredith stood up and spoke in a manner neither servile nor haughty.

"If so, let's compete openly and fairly again."

When Tina heard Meredith say that, a triumphant smile flashed across her face. "Of course I'm not Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

afraid."

Meredith frowned and felt something was wrong, but she couldn't say what it was.

When the people present heard that they wanted to compete again, they all agreed.

Soon, the matter was settled.

Derek looked at the situation and found it strange.

He had someone look into Tina's previous designs, and they were mediocre. How dared she suggest a

live competition?

However, since Meredith had already agreed to it, he would not say anything on the spot, which would

only make people feel that there were real behind-the-scenes machinations.

"In that case, let's find a topic to compete."

Derek said faintly. The group discussed for a while and decided to use themes for the competition.

The host walked over and held a fortune stick box in his hand. "There are ten theme words in it. Please

the designers make your design according to the theme in a moment. You only need to draw a sketch.

There will be judges to mark it."

Neither side had any objections. The host quickly drew out a note with the keyword "Revival" on it.

Meredith could not help but frown. This them was indeed quite difficult. The retro-style design would

easily become a cliché if she was not careful.

However, looking at Tina's confident expression, Meredith's ambition was also aroused. Since it was a

competition on the spot, Tina could not find help and cheat, then she did not have to be afraid of

anything.

The two of them began to design with pen and paper.

Meredith thought about it. The word revival" easily reminded people of the western renaissance, but

Tina was a foreigner. If she were to compare with her for the understanding of foreign elements, then it

would be a bit like hitting a stone with an egg.

So...

Meredith thought for a while and did not restrict herself to conventional ideas. She started to draw a

Cheongsam.

Since she couldn't compare with her for western design, it was better to change the way. There were

many factors worth reviving in her own culture, and Cheongsam was just one of Meredith's favorite.

After hitting on her idea, Meredith began to draw.

As time passed by, Meredith was immersed in her own thoughts, as if he had forgotten where she was.

Tina, on the other hand, looked up at Meredith from time to time, but the smile on her face never faded.

Derek looked at her actions and saw that Tina was even faster than Meredith while she was

multitasking. He felt something was wrong.

Did this Tina suddenly become a genius?

Soon, the time was up for the design.

Meredith just stopped drawing and looked up to see that Tina had already finished it. She quietly turned

her manuscript in and sat waiting for the judges to mark.

The judges were worried that they would be criticized for being unfair again, so they simply showed the

two works to the public first.

First, it was Meredith's. Meredith designed an improved Cheongsam with a very elegant white

background and a bright red pattern of eight traditional Chinese treasures. The two were in contrast,

and they showed a visual contradiction.

In such a short period of time, the design was already very exquisite.

Everyone nodded and thought that Meredith had a good ability. Then, seeing Tina's picture, they were

shocked again.
