Twins Secret (Tiffany)

Chapter 66 Design Competition Two days later, Tiffany rolled up to the design competition venue. After chatting with the staff and snagging her judge's pass, she hadn't even stepped inside when she spotted a familiar Maybach parked by the curb.

Tiffany's brow furrowed as she zeroed in on the figure stepping out of the car. What was Leon doing here? Was the big-shot president of Harmony City really going to show up at a small-tdesign competition? Leon's arrival caused quite a stir among the reporters. They swarmed him the moment they saw him, blocking his way completely.

"Mr. Cooper, are you investing in this competition because you have your eye on a particular contestant?" "Mr. Cooper, there are tons of design competitions every year. Why this one? And why are you personally involved? Is it for someone special?" "Mr. Cooper, what are you hoping to see in this design competition?" The reporters fired off questions, all fishing for sjuicy gossip. If they could get a scoop on Leon, it would be a goldmine for their news outlet. News of Leon's engagement to Bronte had already spread all over Harmony City. Any new rumors would definitely blow up.

The reporters were ready, waiting for Leon to slip up.

"Sorry, no comment. Everyone should just focus on the design competition." Leon was always tight-lipped, making it tough to get any dirt on him.

But those questions did make Leon's heart skip a beat. If he had to admit it, he could have skipped coming here. But when he heard Tiffany was invited as a judge, he cleared his schedule for the next two days to check it out.

That thought surprised him too. But since he was already here, he decided to see it through.

The reporters kept hounding Leon with questions until the security guards stepped in. Tiffany had been watching quietly from the sidelines since Leon got out of the car until he walked into the competition site. She never expected Leon to be the investor, let alone show up in person. It felt like Leon was stirring up trouble on purpose. With his status, he didn't need to be here. Even if there were issues, his secretary could handle them.

Tiffany walked into the site alone. She saw the organizers still setting up the stage. Backstage was the prep area for the contestants.

There were thirty contestants in this competition, all design interns. As Tiffany walked around earlier, she checked out sof the interns' design drafts, but none really stood out.

Except for one. A simple T-shirt design with solid stitching lines caught her eye. Tiffany could tell at a glance that once made, this T-shirt would flatter anyone, no matter their body shape, easing unnecessary body anxiety.

She glanced at the nin the corner of the design draft-Julie Vaughn.

For the next while, Tiffany wandered around the site, greeting the other three judges. They were all well-known designers in the industry. When they saw Tiffany, they exchanged a few polite words about design inspiration before heading to the dressing room to touch up their makeup for the upcoming recording.

In the dressing room, Tiffany slipped into an outfit she had designed herself—a tulle dress with her initials embroidered on the hem. The makeup artist couldn't help but gush over the dress. To match it, she gave Tiffany a light, natural makeup look. Tiffany stared at herself in the mirror. Right now, she looked like a pure white lotus. Before the show started recording, Tiffany headed to the restroom. As she cout, she bumped into Leon. His gaze lingered on Tiffany for a few seconds, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey! Leon composed himself, slowly walked over, and casually averted his gaze, speaking in a cold tone, "Tiffany, I really can't seem to shake you off." "Leon, why don't you admit you're the one following me?" Tiffany hadn't planned to confront him, but his words were really grating.

The two hadn't seen each other since their last encounter at the Cooper Mansion. Tiffany had been swamped with prepping for the design competition and handling stuorders. She barely had tfor her three kids or to visit Ronald. But she got daily updates from Sam, knowing the kids had been with Ronald for the past two days, which let her focus on work.

Still, whenever she ran into Leon, all they did was bicker.

Another awkward silence fell until the organizer showed up and called out, "Mr. Cooper and Miss Grey, the recording is about to start. Let's go for the pre-interview." Tiffany nodded and walked off first.

After the pre-interview, the show began recording.

To keep things fair and transparent, the competition was broadcast live, nixing any chance of behind-the-scenes manipulation.

Originally, there were four judges, but with Leon's presence, it becfive. Each contestant would present their design work one by one. As long as three judges pressed the pass button, they would move on to the next round.

Tticked by, and out of the thirty interns, eleven had been eliminated, eighteen passed, with one last contestant yet to present.

Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey! Tiffany was looking forward to the last contestant, as the thirtieth contestant was Julie. Leon, noticing Tiffany's intense focus on the stage, snorted coldly.

The host introduced Julie's background and then invited her on stage.

Julie wore a loose sweatshirt, baggy pants, and had two braided pigtails, with a pair of black-framed glasses perched on her nose. To others, this was a typical rural look. So as soon as Julie got on stage, the judge at the far end immediately pressed the elimination button. His explanation was blunt. "If you can't be fashionable yourself, how can you design good-looking clothes? I choose to eliminate." This remark made quite a few people in the audience laugh. Julie, already introverted, now looked even more uneasy.

Tiffany, displeased, took the microphone, her gaze encouraging as she looked at Julie and comforted her, Designing beautiful clothes and being innovative is what matters most, so don't mind what others think." Julie nodded vigorously and handed her design draft to the host. The host looked at it for a moment, somewhat hesitant, not knowing how to describe it. "Let's all take a look and then decide."

The host displayed the design draft, and Tiffany was immediately impressed. Julie's design was a court-style dress. Although the style was old, it incorporated smodern elements, making it particularly striking and eye-catching.

Old wine in new bottles, the court-style aesthetics were revitalized, appearing fresh and dazzling. As Tiffany pressed the pass button with satisfaction, the judge in the middle instantly pressed the elimination button!
