C52 Lydia, Are You Embarrassed?

"The winner of the design competition is..."

Cass' smug smile suddenly froze on his face. His mind went blank for a long time before he could react.

"Cousin Cass?"

"Cousin Cass."

When he heard her voice again, Cass snapped out of his daze.

Then, her eyes met with Lydia's eyes, which were like crescent moons. "Classmate Li, please call me when the live broadcast starts."

Cass: "!!!"

His heart skipped a beat.

Cass' face instantly changed from black, white, and green.

His eyes turned red when he saw the woman's bright smile. He growled in a low voice, "No, that's impossible! The host must have read the wrong name. Yes, the host must have read the wrong name!"

"Yes, yes, the host must have read the wrong name." Even the teacher beside him had just reacted and echoed.

Viola, who had been silent the whole time, looked at the host with hope in her eyes.

At this moment, her entire body was tense.

At this moment, it seemed like she had lost all her voice. Her eyes were fixed on the host.

The host must have read the wrong name.

How could the cripple be the first place winner?

How could it be possible?

"Please welcome Miss Ellis to the stage to give her acceptance speech!" At this moment, the host announced Lydia's name with a smile.

Viola, who was sitting in the seat, was so shocked by the reality that her face turned white.

How could this be?

How could it be her?

What about her?

Did she not even get into the top ten?

This was impossible. There must be something wrong with the system.

At that moment, all the lights turned off, and the spotlights were directed at where she was standing.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to her.

Lydia was the center of attention.

"Wow, this designer is not only talented, but also so beautiful!" someone murmured under the stage. Everyone nodded in agreement.

Other than Lydia, the few people beside her were silent. Almost everyone looked at her with envy and curiosity.

Lydia slowly stood up and walked towards the stage under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

As she passed by, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She turned to Viola and touched her forehead. "You're not feverish...Viola, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so pale?"

"Viola, do you want to go to the hospital to have a look?" Lydia blinked her eyes and continued to ask.

Because of Lydia's question, everyone looked over.

Even if she didn't want to talk to her, she had to maintain her image as a public figure. She suppressed the jealousy in her heart and forced a smile. "It's fine, it's fine."

"Oh."

She bent down and hugged the hypocritical Viola, whispering into her ear, "V Viola, you're right. You should read more when you have time. I didn't expect that after listening to you, I would actually get first place! Viola, thank you!"

As soon as she finished her sentence, she felt her body stiffen for a moment.

Now that she thought back to the time when he had advised her not to miss her classes, he must be regretting it now.

Tsk!

So satisfying!

Lydia's lips curled into a bright smile as she walked towards the podium without looking back.

From today onwards, the Ellis family was going to change!

It was time for them to change their master!

At that moment, her eyes flashed with determination.

Tap, tap, tap!

The high heels on the ground made a crisp sound. Every step that Lydia took towards the stage was like stepping on Viola's heart. It was so painful that she couldn't help but tremble.

No!

No!

She couldn't let Lydia win the prize.

"Now, we have invited the CEO of the Tillman Group, Reece, to give Lydia and Miss Ellis the award." Just as she was worrying about how to make Lydia unable to receive the award, the announcer announced, and Viola's eyes lit up.

Heh!

Reece, you came at the right time.

Viola glanced at Cass from the corner of her eye, and then brewed her emotions.

The next second.

She sat down on the seat with a thud. "I... I'm sorry. I have let down the expectations of the mentors."

As she spoke, Viola turned her head to look at Cass and the instructor beside him.

Viola's pitiful appearance was the most useful to Cass, who was chasing after her.

At that moment, Cass felt his heart ache.

He quickly comforted her, "V Viola, don't cry. It's just a design competition. If you can't get first place, then you can't. We don't care about this kind of competition."

"Yes, yes, yes." Viola wiped her tears and looked at the man and woman on the stage. "Actually, I'm even happier that I can win first place."

As soon as she said that, the image of a kind and perfect goddess in her heart immediately rose.

Cass felt that how could Viola be so pure and kind, just like a lotus that was not tainted by the mud.

"What a coincidence! Brother-in-law is giving out the award. They are a perfect couple!"

Suddenly, Viola's praise sounded in his ears again. Cass' face darkened as he turned to look at Reece who was walking up the stage.

"Your brother-in-law is the guest presenter?"

"Not only is he the guest of honor, but he's also the sponsor of this design competition." Viola said proudly.

No wonder!

It was no wonder that she was able to get first place in the competition.

So she was just a backdoor entrant!

Heh!

A person who got first place with a backer wanted him to broadcast his sh*t?

In his dreams!

Today, he would take advantage of the online live broadcast to expose the disgusting face of Lydia.

"Lydia!" Cass suddenly stood up and shouted her name.

Lydia suddenly raised her head and looked at Cass in shock.

"?"

"What right do you have to receive the award for someone like you who got first place with your husband? Don't you feel ashamed?"

When Cass said this, the crowd burst into an uproar.

Everyone looked at the stage with doubt in their eyes.

Lydia clenched her fists as she held the microphone tightly.

This sudden development was completely out of her expectations.

Why was Cass suddenly targeting her?

Was it just to not keep her promise?

At this moment, Lydia happened to see Cass secretly laughing at Viola. She suddenly understood that Cass' impulsive action was instigated by someone.

Heh!

"Viola, you really don't know how to stop me from getting first place."

Do you think you can stop me from getting first place just by doing some dirty tricks?

Stop dreaming!

I, Lydia, am no longer a bag of buns that you can pinch as you please!

Lydia restrained her thoughts and opened the microphone. She asked coldly, "Student, where did you get this from?"

"Lydia, you have never attended any professional courses before, but you managed to win the first prize in the design competition in just two months. Let me ask you, where did you get your strength from? Heh... I'm afraid that your husband is Reece, the sponsor of the design competition!"

Cass' tone was filled with sarcasm and disdain.

The crowd below the stage was in an uproar, especially those who had not gotten a placing or were dissatisfied with their results. They all stood up and began to object to Lydia's decision.

"She is not worthy of being first place! Get out, get out!"

"The design competition doesn't need connections!"

There was an uproar among the audience.

Viola, who was enjoying the show, smiled triumphantly.

Lydia, I want to see how you're going to deal with this.

"Get the hell out of here!" Cass shouted as he grabbed a bottle of mineral water and threw it at Lydia.

It was too sudden.

Lydia was caught off guard. Even though she quickly tilted her head to dodge the bottle, it was too late.

The bottle of water was headed straight for her face...

At this moment, a pair of black leather shoes appeared in her vision. She was then carried into her arms and protected by a tall body.

A faint fragrance wafted into her nose.

This familiar smell startled Lydia.

She raised her head in surprise and looked up at the person in front of her...
