Chapter 93 The Trick

Leaving the villa, Sunny went straight to Bella, hoping to find Hanson. She had a lot of questions to ask him.

Hanson had already anticipated her arrival. Sitting on the main chair, he looked indifferent and there was a slight sneer on the corners of his mouth.

"How dare you give me the score eight whereas Essie gets to have ten? After all, I am your fiancée! I deserve more than her!" Sunny was writhing with both hatred and jealousy.

Her words left Hanson unmoved. Slowly, he took a sip of his tea and said, "I was considerate enough to have given you eight. If you hadn't been my fiancée, you would have received the score zero from me."

"What... What do you mean?" Sunny stammered, unable to believe her ears. 'Did he actually say those words?' she wondered with fear.

"Don't think you can fool me. I know all about the dirty tricks you have used to win. And the worst part is, you didn't follow the original design. An average tailor would have done a better task than you. It is beyond me why you wish to belong in the design circle. This is not for you," Hanson said with a sneer.

Sunny's face flushed scarlet.

"My father is rich. I can do whatever I want. With the wealth we have, I can get way ahead of those poor girls!" Sunny said. Indirectly, she was referring to Essie.

"But as a judge, the only thing I look for is your capability. As for how much money you have, that's none of my business." Today, the little respect he had for Sunny disappeared. Her words made it evident she was a proud woman. His eyes flashed an extremely malicious and cold light. The way her family had brought her up was disgusting. Their son was a black sheep and their daughter was a stupid pig. If ever they lost the money they had, they would become beggars. They had no skill nor patience to learn anything.

On Sunday, Eva arrived Starbucks, where she was supposed to meet up with Essie.

When Eva arrived, Essie was already there. Flashing a smile, she gave her friend a tight hug.

They last met at the fashion week. Since then, she had been working in a studio in another city. The filming hadn't come to an end till yesterday.

"Are you done with Hanson?" Eva asked, unable to hide her curiosity. The other day, her agent dragged her to the other end of the party, asking her to take a video. When she came back, she learned that there was a serious matter happening to her best friend. When she was about to go to the apartment to comfort her, she received a temporary notice that she was going to shoot in another city. The sole comfort she could give was through phone.

But now, she was glad to be sitting face to face with her friend. Stirring the coffee in her cup, Essie said, "I've chased him for five years. I'm tired now."

"On that eventful day, after you were taken away by Zac, Hanson fainted. That goes to show he cares for you." Eva sighed.

Hearing that, Essie was a little startled. She didn't know about this. Perhaps he had feelings for her. But he had gotten himself into a mess. Her existence would only increase the burden on his shoulder. Considering all of this, it was best for them to break up.

"I don't think we are meant for each other."

"Where is that cold and handsome guy? I heard that he declared on fashion week that you are his woman," Eva said, trying to change the topic. She let out a snicker.

"It's not like you haven't seen his girlfriend before. She is not easy to deal with. On top of everything, Mandy suspects I am having an affair with him. Several time, she started a fight with me. I don't want to be a part of this chaotic mess," said Essie, shaking her head violently.

"Well, you can be the final winner," Eva said sympathetically patting her on the shoulder. "Haven't heard of the saying that two dogs strive for a bone and a third runs away with it. Let's

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

s that had a mix of archaic Chinese charm and modern flavor. Her mission was to make something with unparalleled beauty.

Not far away, Sunny was looking at her with a ferocious look. When Essie was cutting the cloth, Sunny poured a cup of hot coffee. Instead of stopping, she continued and poured some onto the tailored cloth Essie had worked on.

The newly cut cloth was dyed with coffee and Essie's hand had been scalded.

"What's wrong with you?" Nicole screamed when she saw what had happened.

"I'm sorry. It was an accident. No need to make a scene," Sunny replied feigning innocence.

"You were seated near the tea room yet you walked around us. How can this be an accident? I know what you are trying to do!" Nicole spat out, writhing with rage.

She hastily called the staff and applied ointment on Essie's hand. Deep in her heart, she cursed Sunny's parents and her ancestors.

Essie, on the other hand, remained calm. After all, she had been accustomed to her dirty tricks. When she was in Bella, this used to be a regular business. She suffered a lot under Sunny's brutality.

"Can you continue to do now?" When Nicole saw that Essie's hand was blistered, she was very worried.

"It doesn't matter. I feel much better after applying the ointment. However, this cloth is useless now and I have to cut a new one." Essie tried her best to look relaxed. If she panicked then Nicole would too. Nicole put a piece of gauze on her hand and realized that she liked this partner a lot. She was strong and competitive but at the same time calm.

Because of the wound on her hand, Essie slowed down her pace, but she still managed to finish her evening dress smoothly.

On the day when the judge would announce the winner, Essie was full of confidence. She was quite satisfied with the evening dress. Even if she couldn't bag the first place, she wouldn't be eliminated.

Nicole, on the other hand, seemed positive that her work would receive first prize. It was the most beautiful evening dress she had ever tried. "How about designing a dress for me at next month's Golden Eagle Festival?" she requested.

"That would be my pleasure," Essie consented with a bright smile.

The new judge was a professor and designer Jacob from Istituto Marangoni hired by the Emperor. He was quite famous and almost everyone in the fashion industry knew him and his work. His presence was what made this show to be a top-notch design competition in the fashion circle.

However, when the special guest arrived at the venue, Essie's heart skipped a beat.
