Chapter 50
After Anna’s departure, Ross exploded with frustration. “Alison is truly malicious. She thought you would not fight back.”
“So, I must defeat her!”
Ross wanted to cheer her up, but when his gaze fell on the black velvet curtains, he instantly held back.
While Alison might be malicious, she had seized every advantage from timing and circumstances. Right from the beginning, she showed a trump card. But Madison gets nothing. Even her design drafts are hastily put together. How could Madison turn the tables?” he thought.
Feeling a bit agitated, Ross pressed his forehead and said, “Madison, stay here and prepare. I’ll go alone to watch the competition.”
He couldn’t bear to let Madison watch her masterpiece being glorified while she, in the audience, lelt depressed.
It was too cruel.
Madison calmly said, “Let’s go. Alison just performs this show for me.”
Ross, with a teasing look, asked, “Did you anticipate that Alison would set obstacles for you? Did you intentionally leave yourself a way out, waiting for a dramatic reversal to defeat her?”
Madison, raising her eyebrows, glanced at him. “If I had known it in advance, would I still prepare the dresses according to the original design?”
Ross curled his lips and said, “So, your design drafts are hot off the press?” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“Yes, the materials for the dresses are also just chosen, all thanks to you.”
Ross was nervous. He had privately placed a bet, almost staking his entire net worth on Madison winning. However, he dared not tell her about it, lest she scold him for seeking personal gain.
Whether due to sensitive intuition or not, as Madison took her seat, Alison’s gaze landed on her.
Not finding Elianna, Alison seemed somewhat disappointed. However, seeing Madison already seated in the audience lifted her spirits.

‘A woman who had been confined to the house chores for years could achieve nothing, Alison thought.
Alison wanted Madison to see how dazzling she was and let her know that a man like Neville could only be
matched with Alison.
As Madison and Ross took their seats, Neville’s gaze also shifted towards them, and he was sullen when he saw them together again.
Following Neville’s gaze, Ryan said, “Neville, your ex-wife is inseparable from Mr. Castro. It’s possible that he has already fallen for her.”
Suddenly, Neville felt that coming to confirm whether Elianna was EA was somewhat absurd. He didn’t think he
should come.
“Just shut up!”
Ryan smirked. “Are you jealous?”
Neville burst into a cold laugh. “Do you feel jealous when you see a once-pampered pet wagging its tail to its new owner after you’ve discarded it?”
Madison was abandoned by him, and Neville would never go back to his ex. How could he be jealous?
Ryan glanced at him, saying seriously, “Neville, abandoning pets is inhumane. I won’t do that.”.
Neville’s face darkened even more. He wanted to block Ryan again, but considering their business dealings, he returned the phone to his pocket.
The scoring in the competition consisted of two parts. The four major judges would evaluate the works, and then the audience would vote based on their preferences.
To boost audience enthusiasm, the organizers allowed the designers to make a pitch. During this period, designers could invite heavyweight celebrities to endorse them.
When the host asked Alison who she wanted to invite to endorse her, she blushed and looked towards Neville.
The rumors about the relationship between them were no longer a secret in the industry. Some even speculated that they would have a wedding at the end of the year.

The audience began to cheer and shout Neville’s name.

Neville showed no intention of getting up, causing Alison to be embarrassed. And the atmosphere was awkward.
Ryan whispered to Neville, “Neville, the Preston and Conner families have been friends for generations. You will embarrass Miss Conner if you don’t respond to her invitation.”
Neville frowned. “I don’t need to consider social relationships when making decisions.”
Ryan twitched his mouth. Neville had never allowed others to affect his decision, and he could see that Neville
was unhappy with Alison’s request.
Ryan smirked. “That’s fine. If you go, your ex-wife might think you and Alison are in an affair, and she may…”
Before Ryan could finish speaking, Neville stood up and walked towards the stage with long strides.
He didn’t believe that Madison would really like Ross. After all, she had been with him for three years, and her
taste couldn’t be that bad.
They were together just to irk him. Since that was the case, Neville counterattacked by being with Alison. He also wanted to show her that he didn’t have lingering feelings for her.
Ryan was somewhat baffled. Neville couldn’t hold back when he mentioned Madison.
After understanding the reason behind it, Ryan had a meaningful smile.
Alison was about to give up, but when she saw Neville going to the stage, she was so touched that her eyes welled up with tears.
Alison thought, ‘Neville did care about me. He won’t let me be embarrassed.”
She looked at him more affectionately.
However, when Neville went on stage, he maintained a distance from Alison and didn’t say a word in favor of her. His handsome face remained cold, leaving the host unsure of how to lighten the mood.
Nevertheless, the audience was excited to see him, and Alison won many votes.
Ross, feeling indignant for Madison, said, “Look at this pair of despicable lovers. Are they going to announce that

they are together now?”

Madison remained impassive. Neville had liked Alison for quite some time, and Madison and Neville were already divorced. He was free now, and he could pursue anyone he wanted.
Yet, she could feel Neville’s gaze occasionally. Whenever she looked up at them, he had already averted his gaze, making her doubt if she had made a mistake.
The judges gave Alison high marks and praised highly of her work.
“Miss Conner’s wedding dresses perfectly interpret the meaning of marriage, inspiring people’s longing for love. and marriage.”
“Besides, the four dresses vividly displayed the traditional style, which is stunning.”
“I was impressed by the names and symbolism of the weddings. These are the most perfect wedding dresses I’ve ever seen!”
All four judges were well-known in the fashion industry. Three of them gave Alison full marks, and only the stringent designer Chelsea Hill gave a score of 9.5. Combined with the audience’s votes, Alison received a final score of 9.85.
This score was nearly full mark, which was the highest in the history of the wedding dress design competition.
Alison couldn’t contain her excitement, even forgetting that she was a plagiarist. She instinctively looked in Madison’s direction, placing her fingers on her abdomen with a provocative smile.
