Chapter 971 Sadie Breaks Down
Her vision began fading, and she nearly fell down from the chair she was sitting on.
“No! This is impossible!” Her mind went blank as she leaped to her feet. “How could she possibly be the designer, X?”
Everyone turned to her when they heard her sudden outburst, and her tall figure only made her stand out even more.
The crowd already had a bad impression of her when she fell down twice before. Her losing control of her emotions certainly did not help the situation.
Everyone was glaring at her in shock and displeasure.
“Calm down, Sadie!” Robert grabbed her by the arm and tried to pin her down to her seat, but she continued screaming anyway.
“No, Dad! How could she be Ms. X?”
She even broke down in tears on the spot.
After all, Ms. X had always been her idol, her main source of motivation, and her role model.
She had always wanted to become Ms. X’s model, only to have Richard tell her that Ms. X was Ashlyn, whom she looked down on.
Her legs gave out beneath her, and she slumped weakly to the floor as she recalled everything she had said and done to Ashlyn in the past.
It’s over… I’m done for…
“Sadie! Sadie!” Robert called out to her while hugging her. It pained him deeply to see her like this, but there was little he could do about it.
Who would’ve thought that Ashlyn was Ms. X? That’s such a huge contrast!
Even Shiela froze in shock on the stage.
After taking a moment to recover from the shock, she glanced at Cassandra, who was sitting there with a calm look on her face.
That b*tch!Cassandra must have known that Ashlyn is Ms. X! That’s why she has been watching me and Sadie humiliate ourselves!
Noticing that Shiela was glaring viciously and vengefully at her, Cassandra flashed her a smug grin in response.
Well? Are you feeling ashamed of yourself now? Man, this feels so good!
Shiela took a deep breath and suppressed her anger as she stared at Ashlyn, who was making her way on stage in a tailored dress.
She looked like a white swan with her slender neck, curvaceous figure, and fair skin. On top of all that, she had an emotionless look in her eyes, which added to her elegance and gracefulness.
With looks like that, she easily stole everyone’s attention whenever she made an appearance.
Ashlyn’s high heels clacked loudly as she walked up to Richard, took the microphone from the host, and turned to face the crowd.
“It sucks how my brother insisted on me coming on stage like this.”
“Well, tons of people have tried to impersonate you while you keep your identity hidden, so it’s better if you step forward,” Richard replied with a faint smile.
Shiela’s face burned bright red when she heard that.
The embarrassment was so intense that she wished she could just disappear on the spot.
The guests were all shocked by Richard’s response.
Mr. Shaw sure is something else! I can’t believe he’d humiliate his fiancee in public without mercy!
Cassandra frowned as Richard had been staring at her while speaking.
What is he doing? Why does he keep looking at me while humiliating Shiela and Sadie? I am not about to jump to conclusions and assume that he did it for me! Besides, he’s already engaged, so why would he give me that look? Is he planning to cheat on his fiancee or something? Unfortunately, I am not interested in becoming a homewrecker!
There was a hint of laziness and arrogance in Ashlyn’s tone as she asked, “No one knows the truth. You could have just gotten anyone else. Why did it have to be me?”
Their awkward conversation was interrupted when the host said respectfully, “Y-You are amazing, Ms. X! Not only did your design win the grand prize, but you also received tons of design awards from all over the world! What are your thoughts on this huge success?”
