SWNOVELS Chapter 3
Chapter 3 Suspected of Hype
“Your entrance will be descending onto your seat on a rattan chair! This bracelet is Crown Star; Ill put it on you!” The assistant took off the bracelet carefully before fastening it around Lilian’s wrist but…Lilian was thinner than Hillary so it slipped down towards her arm instead…
This bracelet designed by hf founder for his daughter featured an exquisite crown–shaped centerpiece encrusted with diamonds flanked by two star-shaped pure white sapphires symbolizing parents surrounding their precious child.
“I can’t wear this…what should we do?”
“Do you trust me?” asked Lilian suddenly turning towards Hillary’s assistant
“I have no choice but to trust you now,” he nodded. It was crunch time and he had to rely on the model.
“That, you leave it to me…” Lilian said confidently.
“Get ready… It’s your turn soon!” The assistant didn’t notice the sharp eyes hidden beneath Lilian’s eyelashes.
Lilian nodded with a smile, then lifted her skirt and ran towards the backstage. Because she was wearing a mask, if one were to look for differences between her and Hillary, it would be her legs which were considered one of the most beautiful in the world.
The fashion show had reached its climax when suddenly Lilian descended from above while reclining on a wicker chair. All spotlights shone on her but they found no star crown/on her wrist…
What is going on?
Everyone searched for the star crown and scrutinized every inch of Lilian’s body. Then many people noticed Lilian’s long and fair legs…
They were unforgettable!
With a confident smile behind her golden mask, Lilian gracefully raised her hand and tilted back her head while lifting up her left leg facing the audience into an elegant dance pose. At that moment, as if sliding down from under the white dress onto her ankle, there appeared a dazzling star crown emitting breathtaking radiance.
Oh my god…
Everyone was stunned by what they saw. What made it even more unforgettable was that no matter what pose she struck or movement she made while still sitting on that wicker chair, the star crown on her ankle presented different beauty each time….
The whole place erupted into thunderous applause instantly; all spectators stood up excitedly just to applaud for Lilian…
In an elevated position among crowds where nobody could reach him sat Kevin who watched intently at Lilian onstage..
Whether three years ago or after retiring three years later, she remained that supermodel born only for runway shows…
As soon as she finished striking one last pose perfectly ending this jewelry show with grandeur Hf’s founder expressed his satisfaction especially towards Lillian’s performance without knowing it was her, he thought it was Hillary.
He walked onto the runway from backstage and gallantly extended his hand to Lilian, leading her to the front while bowing and thanking the audience.
“Thank you all. Of course, I also thank Miss Stone for her wonderful performance in this show.”
Lilian didn’t say anything but bowed politely. However, nobody expected a sharp voice suddenly coming from the end of the runway: “She is not Hillary at all! I have met Hillary in person before; she doesn’t have such long legs!”
Everyone froze on spot with suspicion as they looked at Lilian onstage and kept staring at her long legs: “If you are really Miss Stone, please take off your mask. If not, Rainer Entertainment is a fraud!”
The doubts grew louder and more numerous so even If’s designer had to doubt whether this woman beside him was truly Hillary or not.
“Miss Stone, please take off your mask… The designer wanted to know if she was really Hillary because if she wasn’t then there would be no need for further cooperation with Rainer Entertainment,
Lilian felt very embarrassed but now that everyone had turned against her there seemed no other way out than taking off her mask. At that moment everyone gasped in shock recognizing immediately who this washed–up supermodel was…
“She is Lilian!”
Everyone said that since being banned three years ago she lost everything including even wild modeling jobs; nobody expected that she would stoop so low as to replace someone else on stage. Was it intentional hype or forced by circumstances?
“Lilian… It’s actually Lilian.” Reporters quickly surrounded her leaving no escape route for Lilian amidst them.
“Miss Moore, Hf jewelry show invited Hillary specially but why did you replace her?”
“As we all know you were banned three years ago already; do you want to return back into modeling circle through this show?”
“You’re an outdated model. Do you want to steal Hillary’s resources? Are you trying to take advantage of her injury and snatch away her endorsement?““Obviously it’s just a publicity stunt. I said it before, Hillary is already injured, how could she come out for the show! The reporters‘ questions became sharper and some even started to speak without restraint. “Washed–up slut…” “This endorsement belongs to Hillary, give it back to her!” Lilian was forced back step by step, surrounded and even pushed by the reporters. But at this moment, hf continued to strike Lilian: “I will sue Rainer Entertainment for fraud! What I want is Hillary, yet you gave me a third–rate model. The designer didn’t know Lilian’s status three years ago; he only knew that he hadn’t seen such a model recently. And you, wait to see me in court! But now, get out of here! You don’t deserve to stand on my runway.” Sharp shouts pierced through the entire venue; even the reporters present were shocked by the designer’s outburst because no model would be yelled at in such a situation. Still not leaving?” Lilian had long been mentally prepared but still endured the humiliation. Just then, a low and magnetic voice came from the end of the runway: Someone should leave…”
