Chapter 47
Alison was shocked, and her face was devoid of color. However, when she felt Madison’s scrutinizinggaze, she quickly lowered her eyes and, in a fluster, left with Daisy.
Watching the two leave, Ross couldn’t help but joke, “They look flustered.”
Madison lowered her gaze, wondering why Alison would come here. But the priority now was to winthis
competition.
She didn’t dwell on it and focused on arranging the samples. She planned to surprise Alison later.
Alison didn’t know how she returned to the lounge. She felt weak and chilled until her assistant handedher a cup of hot coffee, bringing a trace of warmth.
The designs of her wedding dress owed its existence to the black box Daisy left in her car.
When she saw the sketches inside, Alison was impressed and astonished. Later, upon learning that thetheme proposed by Fliwip was wedding dresses, she was excited.
No matter how she modified it, Alison still found that the drafts were more brilliant. So, she decided totake the
risk and copied the dresses.
Unexpectedly, in Loveille’s lounge, she saw identical samples. Alison thought, ‘Does this mean that theowner of the wedding dresses is Elianna? Madison is Elianna’s assistant, and she needs to helpElianna modify the drafts.
Daisy was cursing Madison, “This schemer, relying on her illicit relationship with Ross, managed tosecure the position of an assistant. Now she’s acting all arrogant. She should remember how humbleshe was in the Preston family.”
Alison felt her head buzzing. She interrupted Daisy, “Daisy, do you remember the black box you askedme to find for you?”
Daisy suddenly became uneasy and said, “Of course. Did you find it?”
Alison asked cautiously, “No, I’m just curious about what’s inside that box?”
Daisy bluffed, “Oh, just some low-class jewelry. Don’t put it to heart.”

Alison breathed a sigh of relief. This meant that Daisy hadn’t even opened the box, and the samplesinside were undoubtedly the original drafts.
As long as she released the new design before Elianna, Alison could force her to leave the field. IfElianna insisted, Alison could present the original draft, proving herself as the true designer, andElianna as the
plagiarist.
The Conner Group wanted to poach Elianna at a high price, but she declined. Since that was the case,Alison might as well use this opportunity to ruin her and eliminate a strong competitor for the ConnerGroup.
Alison immediately called her assistant and said, “Tell Loveille that the Conner Group requests to bethe first to showcase the wedding dress.”
The assistant conveyed her message to Loveille.
Ross rubbed his chin and said, “Usually, those who go first tend to suffer a bit. After all, the audienceexpects the best to come last, and the judges are more critical and conservative during scoring. It’ssurprising that someone as shrewd as Alison will choose to be the first to show the design. Is shecourageous or underestimating us?”
Madison raised an eyebrow and thought, ‘The Conner Group has initially insisted on being the grandfinale. Why the sudden change?”
The Conner Group had done the organizer a favor, providing the venue to Fliwip for free. Besides,Alison had Neville behind her back. Even if Madison disagreed, it might not change the outcome.Moreover, the design. drafts and samples were complete, and the designer’s appearance order didn’tmatter much.
Madison lazily said, “Let her do as she pleases. I’m competing with her not for luck but for skill.”
Ross gave her a thumbs up. “I admire your confidence. Impress them with your design.”
The organizer notified Alison to go on stage. Loveille’s show would probably take place two hours later.
Madison had everything prepared. She followed Ross, sitting in the audience’s seats. She wanted tosee what tricks Alison had up her sleeve.
With just a glance, she spotted Neville sitting in the VIP seat. Even if she only saw the back of hishead, Madison could still recognize him.
She disliked the feeling of being dominated. Just as she was about to retract her gaze, Nevillesuddenly turned

Neville saw her sitting with Ross, wearing matching outfits. He furrowed his brows instinctively.
Madison sneered. ‘He still hates me as much as ever, unable to stand even a single glance,’ shethought.
She provocatively met his gaze, a cold smile playing on her lips, a silent act of resistance.
Following Neville’s line of sight, Bernard whispered to him, “Mr. Preston, Miss Guzman has beenlooking at you, It seems like she’s sending you a secret admirer’s glance.”
Neville turned away and said in a low tone, “I can see that.”
Once he turned back, he fell into Madison’s affectionate’ gaze. His mood did improve considerably. Allthose claims about her feeling disgusted when seeing him were nonsense,
But when he saw Ross, Neville was annoyed.
He thought, ‘She’s so despicable. She flirts with another man before she lets go of her ex.”
Sitting next to the two of them, Ryan couldn’t help but twitch his lips. He looked at Bernard with acomplex expression, wondering why Bernard had that thought. Madison’s eyes were clearly sharp.How did it turn into a secret admirer’s glance?
“Neville, coming to watch the show after turning down your current work, it seems your interest isn’t justabout the show. Let me guess, is it for Miss Conner or your ex-wife?”
Neville sneered. “You’re overthinking. I came here just to clarify one thing.”
He spent 600 thousand dollars on the dark web to find out that the owner of the Koenigsegg wasElianna Atkins, a designer in Loveille, EA being her name abbreviation.
Even though he learned from Daisy that Madison was Elianna’s assistant, and it made sense for anassistant to ride in the boss’s car, there were still some things that didn’t add up. He needed to findElianna in person to verify.
By now, Alison had changed into a simple dress and taken the stage. The white dress complementedher black, straight hair, giving her an air of charm. Photographers were eager to capture the moment.

“My first piece is named Sweet Love. In my eyes, marriage is not a tomb of love but something sweetand supportive.”
As she spoke, she glanced towards Neville in the audience.
Ryan nudged Neville with his elbow, teasingly reminding him, “Miss Conner is confessing to you. Youshould give her a response. Don’t shatter her dignity.”
