Dream of a Happy Family

Rise Back

Back then, Iris was undoubtedly the brightest star there. The Zea family below the stage was very happy. Even Jorge's hands trembled with excitement.

"I never knew Iris could produce such a masterpiece."

"Yes! That's too amazing. Iris is just too awesome!"

"Sound one! Iris's plan got champion one! That means Zea Group will be on its way to success!"

Lilian turned to look at Winifred with disdain and scoffed, "Iris is right. Previously, Zea Group was unable to grow our business because Winifred, your design, was trash. Winifred Zea, you're a hindrance to our family's path to success. Thank goodness you have left our family now. Otherwise, our family will be destroyed by you."

It was hard to imagine that this was something an aunt would say to her nephew. Iris had now assimilated with Winifred's relatives, and the entire family became as evil as she was.

Winifred is numb. He never imagined that Iris would be the one to steal his designs. How could he do that?

Tyr's expression was now a collection of thunder and dark clouds. "Iris Zea, do you want to die?"

Back then, Iris had climbed onto the stage in everyone's gazes, feeling noble. Michael raised the microphone as he smiled at Iris. It was very thrilling for him when he could find masterpieces in this country.

"Miss Iris, now you can freely describe the concept of 'Green Phoenix' that you have designed and your thoughts and sources of inspiration when creating it. I believe that with your explanation, many people will be able to look into your innermost heart and understand the soul behind this Green Phoenix!"

Iris nodded with a smile and took the microphone.

"This "Green Phoenix' comes from my hobby. I am a literary girl, and I love reading books, especially stories about classical mythology in our country. I long for the wonders in those stories, and the phoenix is my favorite legendary bird. Therefore, I named my design 'Green Phoenix' and used the most popular gradient coloring as the base. By matching the green and yellow to represent the fire of the green and yellow phoenix, I have designed a masterpiece for everyone!"

Iris spoke expressively on stage. It was clear that after he stole Winifred's design, he had spent a lot of manpower to prepare for this. This speech has been prepared in advance by a professional fashion designer he hired.

As Iris finished her speech, the crowd of onlookers started clapping loudly.

However, Michael and Allen did not applaud. Instead, a hint of disappointment appeared on Michael's face. These speeches and explanations were truly extraordinary to the common man, and thorough. But for high-end designers like Michael and Allen, Iris's explanation was only surface, and had no soul.

At that moment, Allen stood up and asked, "Miss Iris, are these all the explanations you have for your work?"

Iris was stunned before replying, "Yes. I've said what I have to say."

Allen, on the contrary, frowned slightly. "Then, Miss Zea, did you intentionally assign a difficult task to the jury when you submitted this design? For example, you purposely missed one last detail and want to pass it on to us at a time like this or something? To truly present us a complete masterpiece."

Setting difficult tasks for judges is an exciting way to get into international competitions. All fashion designers consider their work to be masterpieces. There are even designers who believe that the skills of the judges are below their own. Therefore, before they submit their draft results, they could have given their design a small flaw to test the jury deliberately. To see if the jurors can choose weaknesses during their evaluation.

"All right." Allen returned to his chair, feeling a little disappointed. After which, he looked towards Michael. "Michael, it looks like you misjudged this time. The final detail was never there for this young designer. The extra elements that you give freely into the design will never be used tonight."

Michael also sighed helplessly. "I thought I could see the miracle of being born tonight, but I was overdoing it. He can't be blamed. He's still young. To be able to finish it up to this point is already good enough."

While having said it, Michael still felt something was up. He picked up the microphone once more and asked, "Miss Zea, since you don't have any final details to add, why would you use a strand of fabric for gradient color decoration instead of decorating the dress directly? And you have also mentioned in your design that these fabric strands should use double-sided dye. Why can't it be another kind? If we do not consider double-sided coloring, a softer fabric can be used to replace it."

Iris was astonished, but Michael's question was very sudden. This was not included in the speech he prepared

"I... L am... I like this kind of method. Is there a problem?"

This answer is not professional at all. It is impossible for a professional fashion designer to be unable to answer why they are using such special materials.

At that time, many other professional figures present looked at Iris strangely.

Iris felt that things had turned bad, so she suddenly became nervous. To prevent this from protracted, Iris quickly asked, "Master Michael, am I.. the champion of this competition?"

"That's fine. You champion!" Michael nodded for a while, feeling extremely disappointed within him. This work tonight could be even more amazing. Michael had even added that last detail and prepared his special effects. But this design is not his. He could not change the design of others of his own accord in such a big competition.

So, this piece is rated only for ninety-eight grades. If the final details were added, it would be a hundred points, making it a true masterpiece.

"Losing the finishing touch. The missing details Michael mentioned... Could he be thinking about what I'm doing?"

As everyone cheered for Iris for getting first rank, Winifred was even riled up.

"Surely it. It took me all night to finally think about that last step. That step was his final touch. But when I wanted to put in the final details, the design was stolen. This is not gonna work. This design can't just end. This design was destined to shock the entire world!"

Previously, whenever Winifred discovered Iris's evil attack, he would tolerate it. But this time, Winifred could not tolerate it anymore. Even if this matter could destroy the Zea family, he felt he had to reveal it. Not only for himself but also for the responsibility towards the arts, even more so for his team, who had worked with him tirelessly day and night for days.

This is a fight for justice!

Right now, Winifred could not be the weakling he was before. His spine was once broken because they wanted him to live miserable. But

now, Winifred had decided that he would rise again!
