Chapter 146 The Final
This year’s finals of the international design competition were set to take place in Capital City, Haldoria.
Kate had submitted her design draft to Miles, who had then passed it on to the competition’s judging panel. All participants‘ designs were submitted in advance and sealed until the day of the finals when they would be evaluated by the judges.
Five contestants, including Kate, had been directly recommended by individuals like Miles, securing them spots in the finals. Alongside the original five who had advanced through earlier rounds, there were a total of ten finalists.
At dawn, Kate received a call from Miles, waking her from her slumber.
“Muse! Open the door and let me in. Today is the big day–the finals styled in advance!”
You need to be ready and
Miles and his styling team had arrived at the gate of Summer Estate but were temporarily halted by security, so he had no other choice than to call her.
He didn’t call Eric because he was aware he had been occupied lately, but despite his busy schedule, Eric still ordered Miles to grab a team to style Kate at Summer Estate.
Kate groggily complied and allowed them inside. She was still half–asleep as Miles and his team. began working on her appearance.
“Do we really need to start this early?”
Kate yawned, sounding somewhat resigned.
Miles, with a serious expression, replied, “Muse, this is the finals of the international design competition! All contestants are taking this seriously, and besides
He didn’t finish his sentence, but Kate understood his implication.
“Has the list of finalists been released?” Kate asked, reclining in her chair.
Miles nodded, a hint of severity in his gaze. “As expected, Ruth made the list.”
Kate raised an eyebrow, unsurprised but still curious. “And have you discovered who is backing her?”
Miles hesitated briefly before answering, his brow furrowing. “It’s a rising foreign design. company called MC Studio.”
MC Studio?
Kate furrowed her brow slightly. The name sounded familiar, but she couldn’t place where she

Unfazed, she tapped her fingernail pensively and remarked, “It doesn’t matter. Any company linked with Ruth will suffer.”
Her eyes glinted with resolve as a cold intensity flashed within them, briefly unsettling Miles.
He couldn’t help but wonder. Is the person before me Kate or Eric? Their icy determination bears a striking resemblance.
The styling session concluded swiftly. Kate, naturally beautiful, looked stunning with minimal
effort.
This time, her makeup was subtle and sophisticated, departing from the bold look she usually wore at previous events.
She donned a light green traditional dress that complemented her graceful figure. Her long hair was elegantly styled up, adorned with a green hairpin featuring dangling tassels that shimmered delicately.
Miles stole a glance at her before hastily averting his eyes, coughing nervously.
He dared not stare too long, fearing that Eric would gauge his eyes out if he caught him!
Once preparations were complete, Kate and Miles made their way to the main venue.
Coincidentally, the finals of the international design competition were hosted at Starlight Tower.
This location held deep associations for Kate, none of them pleasant.
Stepping out of the car, she glanced at the building, a fleeting hostility crossing her gaze before she masked it. She collected her name badge and entered the venue.
Upon entering, she spotted someone she’d rather not see–Ruth.
Ruth had clearly put effort into her appearance today, and she was coincidentally wearing a traditional dress as well.
These dresses were notoriously challenging garments to wear.
Had Kate not been standing beside her, Ruth might have appeared elegant and refined, showcasing her figure admirably.
Unfortunately for Ruth, she had to stand next to Kate.
The contrast was starkly evident.
