The Good Girl's Revenge

"Don't worry. You don't have to say anything in today's contest. All you have to do is use the scissors, needles and thread in your hands to present what you want to express, and that's enough.” "Anyway, just try hard. No matter what the result is, it's a good challenge for you, isn't it?"

Derek's words contradicted his previous encouragement. He sighed to himself. Well, he didn't want to put too much pressure on Nora.

Nora broke free from his arms, looked straight into his eyes, and pursed her lips. "... I will try hard." To win the contest.

She knew very well that today's contest was not only for herself, but more for the Xavier Group and Derek. She seemed to have no choice but to win.

If, in the end, she lost...

Nora knit her brows at this thought. She couldn't help but think of the conversation between her and her friend Penelope, who had returned from a business trip from abroad two days ago.

The first thing Penelope said after she heard about the contest was...

"Then you have to win. Since the rules are set by Mr. Xavier, you have to take advantage of this good opportunity to get the theme first."

"Nora! Don't be so righteous and adamant. Now that things have gone this far, the contest itself doesn't matter anymore. What matters is the result.”

"Keep in mind that only the winner has the right to speak. Who cares how you win the contest? No matter how admirable the loser is, if he loses, he's the loser.”

"Those who haven't succeeded don't deserve to talk about dignity. If you want that, you can pick it up when you're standing at the top.”

Every word from Penelope kept lingering in her ears.

Derek was the one setting the theme, and seemingly, he didn't intend to reveal it to her. Meanwhile, Nora had never asked him about the theme before, but now...

"Mr. Xavier, what's the theme this time?"

Nora heard her own light voice. It was really light, as if she hadn't said anything at all, but when she said it, she was relieved.

It seemed that asking Derek about the theme was not as difficult as she had imagined.

It was very quiet backstage. Derek heard her words clearly, and looked astonished uncontrollably. Nora was embarrassed to see Derek like this, blushing. "I, didn't I..."

Derek covered her mouth and chuckled, his eyes full of laughter. "You don't have to say that. I got you."

Derek took her into his arms as he spoke, and whispered something into her ear.

Derek was shocked by what Nora did just now. He was a businessman, and it was quite normal for him to take any means to get what he wanted.

If he could, he wished he could set up the whole contest so that Nora could win beautifully, but the situation didn't allow him to do so.

At first, Derek had thought that Nora disdained to cheat, and was afraid that she would get angry if he told her about the theme. It didn't occur to him that she would ask him first. What a pleasant surprise.

In the Joneses.

Sheldon saw the news about the contest between the Xavier Group and the Horton Family of M Country online. When he saw the contestant representing the Xavier Group was Nora, he sprang up from his bed suddenly.

"Ah, ouch..." As a result, he tore the wounds and grimaced in pain.

In the past few days, Sheldon's gentle features had turned visibly ferocious, and it was all caused by what had happened to him during this period of time.

Since his uncle, Sean, had already issued an ultimatum, Sheldon didn't dare to procrastinate. He tried to figure out how to have Nora marry him.

He didn't even care about kneeling down in a coffee shop like before.

But now, even if he wanted to kneel, he couldn't even see the one he knelt to.

Oddly enough, each time he went to the Xavier Group, or to Nora's apartment, or learned about Nora's schedule in advance, or on his way to intercept her..

Anyway, as long as he was about to find that woman, something would happen to him on the way without exception. He had had car accidents more than seven or eight times.

Now, even he himself found it unbelievable that he could still stand here intact.

If it happened once or twice, it could be called "an accident”. However, if it happened seven or eight times, or even every time, it must be artificial. Even a fool could tell it, and naturally, Sheldon could also tell it.

Although he survived each accident, he could still feel the pain. It was impossible for Sheldon to revert to his previous gentle look after him going through such a period of miserable time.

There was only one person who could torture him like this without anyone noticing, and it was the boss of the Xavier Group, Derek.

Sheldon couldn't help but think of the scene where he was beaten up by some unknown men at the back door of the nightclub. He strongly suspected that the accident had something to do with that man too.

Sheldon blamed all of the accidents on that bitch Nora.

If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have suffered at all. If it weren't for her fawning upon the powerful people and seducing men everywhere, she would have married him long ago.

That bitch was supposed to marry him. Now that she had a better man, she wanted to dump him. Nice try!

Sheldon had turned into a totally different person after this period of torture. Even if Sean didn't demand it, he swore to get that woman and teach her a lesson

He wanted to break her dream of marrying into a rich family. He wanted her to know that she would come to a bad end once she offended him.

Sheldon used all his connections and finally found the place where the contest was held today. He set off immediately to stop her.

The contest had already begun in the studio.

The two contestants, Nora and Judy, stood separately on either side of the stage. In the middle, the host gave a brief introduction and then announced the rules and the theme of the contest.

"Today, we don't have a theme, and the rules are very simple. We've invited a total of 100 model guests here. Among them, there are men and women, the old and the young, and now they are all waiting backstage.”

"Now, I have the number plates of the 100 guests. To make it fair, the two contestants will step forward and draw the number plates in my hand one by one. Each contestant will draw seven plates.”

"The requirement of the contest is as follows. The two designers have to design a set of fine clothes suitable for each of the seven models that they have drawn according to their physical characteristics within the limited time. Finally, the six judges will comment on their performances.” In fact, Derek had already told Nora backstage, but she was still listening very carefully. Unlike her, Judy's face darkened when she heard the rules.
