Marry My Ex’s Uncle After Rebirth by Agatha Barney

Chapter 133



As the words fell, countless flashes were aimed at Stephanie.

Stephanie lightly curled her lips. “Do you think my fiancé is so insatiable that any woman could catch his eye?”

The reporter didn’t stop there but continued. “Ms. Hayes, do you trust men that easily? Most men tend to cheat”

After saying this, many people laughed.

Stephanie spoke. “A man will give his partner everything he has if he truly loves her. I believe such a man wouldn’t do anything vile or betray his partner. Does that include you in the majority of men you speak of?”.

The reporter was at a loss for words. He then explained, “It’s just a figure of speech. I am not included.”

“Being suspected is discomforting, particularly for someone loyal. I don’t want any more unfounded rumors to be spread. The low-quality videos and photos clearly stem from someone with malicious intent. Although I can’t silence any of you, please consider whether your words are malicious before speaking.” Despite Stephanie’s faint smile, her words sharply conveyed her displeasure.

Julianna chimed in. “The woman’s attire should be that of a hotel waitress. I’m not saying there’s any distinction in professions, but this woman is nowhere near Stephie in terms of appearance, figure, or talent. How can a man like Vincent not be picky? Besides, anyone who is not blind can see that this woman quickly snuck into the room. It’s likely she forcefully squeezed in after being rejected. Is there any indication of the time when this woman came out later? This is such crude and malicious filming. We will definitely hold the other party accountable once we return to the country.”

Stephanie smiled. “I hope everyone focuses more on the competition because every designer and design team has worked hard. Don’t focus on things that have nothing to do with the competition. Thank you.”

With that said, Stephanie and Julianna quickly walked into the exhibition hall with their team, followed by Dream Design Studio.

Dream Design Studio also received a lot of attention as the second design studio representing Clusia.

Someone asked, “Excuse me, does Dream Design Studio have confidence in winning the championship today?”

Another spoke. “In Clusia, Dream Design Studio is suppressed by Starlight Design Studio. I wonder if you guys can turn the tables tonight?”

Questions like these kept coming.

Lisa, the deputy general manager of Dream Design Studio, remained unperturbed. She smiled and answered, “I’m neither confirming nor denying anything. Starlight Design Studio undeniably possesses a distinctive flair in both design style and clothing quality. This is a quality that our design studio lacks. Of course, we are fully prepared this time. I look forward to Dream Design Studio achieving excellent results in this competition.”

Lisa’s answer was standard. It conveyed neither arrogance nor impatience, but it showcased her fighting spirit and confidence in her team.

At this time, the reporter who had earlier questioned Stephanie spotted Alicia in the crowd. He asked, “Isn’t that Alicia, the former design director of Fantasy Boutique? Dream Design Studio actually hired such a designer with such a previous record, overlooking past grievances. Ms. Jones, aren’t you afraid of a disaster?”

The reporter was quite bold, and his every question was sharp.

Lisa smiled. “Alicia isn’t a designer but an assistant. Everyone makes mistakes, but I believe in the ability to learn from them.”

Alicia had put on exquisite makeup tonight, but she didn’t expect to be publicly exposed.

Alicia hated this reporter to the core, as he brought back memories of the humiliating ordeal where she had to bow 30 times to Stephanie.

However, she despised Stephanie the most. Alicia thought, ‘How could I have suffered such humiliation if it wasn’t for that b i t c h?’

Alicia was indignant and stated, “Everyone makes mistakes! Don’t treat everything as long-lasting consequences. In tonight’s competition, Dream Design Studio is going to win the championship. You snobs can see for yourselves what true skills look like then!”

Lisa’s expression tunned ugly. She didn’t appreciate Alicia’s attitude and tone, which offended everyone present.

Even with their exceptional design, winning the championship wasn’t assured. If they won, people might accuse Dream Design Studio of being arrogant. Conversely, if they lost, they’d be labeled delusional.

Lisa whispered, “Let’s go. The competition is about to start.” She also signaled to Flora, indicating that Alicia shouldn’t embarrass herself further. Alicia wanted to say more but was dragged away by Flora.

There were 100 teams participating in the competition, and each team had a considerable number of members. Therefore, the exhibition center arranged many dressing rooms of about 750 square feet, elegantly decorated and comfortable.

International Golden Finger Contest was organized by Lela Kiran, the royal family of Chueles. She was a big fan of Stephanie’s design. Back then, Stephanie was Star, so she and Stephanie became good friends.

Due to Florence. Stephanie could only work behind the scenes and couldn’t use the name Star, as Star belonged to Starlight Design Studio. Stephanie couldn’t use her name or the name Star, which put her in a passive position.

Upon witnessing Stephanie’s product launch in Clusia, Lela felt that Stephanie could finally make her mark in the industry under her real name. Lela was filled with excitement and emotion. Her beloved designer had finally demonstrated her prowess in the design world using her true identity. Lela was ⠀unconditionally supportive, so she had someone arrange a luxurious makeup room for Stephanie.

Stephanie walked into the makeup room and knew it was Lela’s doing. She texted her [Thank you, my dear Lela.]

Lela replied instantly: It’s the least I can do. I can’t wait to give you the championship crownl

Stephanie smiled and texted: [All right. I’ll give you a surprise after the competition ends.

Lela responded: [I’m eagerly waiting Go for it, Stephie! I’ve already prepared your celebratory banquet.]

Stephanie texted: [Thanks. I will!]

Julianna glanced at her WhatsApp and asked, “Is it Lela?”

Stephanie nodded lightly. “She is very interesting. She even prepared a celebratory banquet for me in advance.”

Julianna nodded. “I’m confident about this competition too. Let’s get drunk tonight!”

Stephanie agreed, “Okay!”

Julianna asked, “By the way, aren’t you going to call Vincent?”

Stephanie shook her head. “I trust him.”

Julianna clicked her tongue. “If it were Graham, I would have called him and asked for a divorce. It’s a perfect opportunity to end this sham marriage,”

Stephanie smiled. She felt Julianna hadn’t noticed the gleam in her eyes when she mentioned Graham.

The designers were very focused as the first and second rounds of the competition featured designs from other designers in the design studio. They

could sell the copyright if their designs are chosen by someone.

Although part of the copyright fee would go to the studio, they would receive a considerable amount.

The crucial point was that Starlight Design Studio only took 30 percent, leaving the remaining 70 percent to themselves.

Unlike other design studies, it was already considered good if designers could get 30 percent.

Designers were inclined to join Starlight Design Studio because the studio respected their opinions. It prioritized enhancing their professional skills by focusing on their individual design traits, and they offered a generous salary.

Stephanie and Julianna were very pleased to see all the designers being so focused. The future outlook for Starlight Design Studio would be increasingly promising.

At this moment, the hall was packed with spectators eagerly waiting

This year’s competition was being broadcast live globally. The organizer, Lela, was not aiming to earn considerable broadcast rights fees but rather hoped to let the whole world see her idol, Stephanie, winning the championship through the live broadcast.

The host announced the competition process, “This competition consists of three rounds. In the first round, 50 teams would be eliminated from the 100 teams. In the second round, 30 teams would be eliminated from the 50 teams. The remaining 20 teams would enter the final round. This year’s champion would be presented with the crown by Lela.”

The crowd instantly became lively. After all, it was a supreme honor to be awarded the crown by Lela.

The host smiled. “Now, let’s welcome the five judges of this competition, who are world-famous designers, Jessica, Brody, Vivian, Dawson, and Star.”

The four judges took the stage, except for Star.

The host was somewhat surprised and quietly asked them, “Is Star not coming? I didn’t receive any notice.”

Jessica explained, “I forgot to tell you that Star would come in the third round of the finals.”

The host nodded understandingly and smiled at the crowd. “Star is probably experiencing delays due to the heavy traffic caused by the large number of audience members gathered here. Well, I know everyone is eager to see Star, but I believe Star should arrive before the start of the third round of the competition. Of course, don’t blame me if Star doesn’t make it.”

The audience burst into laughter, and the competition began.
