A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 169

I said to Amy and went to the bathroom.

When I came out of the bathroom and passed by the VIP lounge, I happened to hear that William was scolding his assistants.

"What's going on with the Empire Group? Why I never heard about it?"

It seemed that William didn't expect that the Empire Group would win the first place.

I sneered and leaned against the door, quietly listening to William scold his assistants.

The Empire Group beat William's company in the preliminary, which was a great blow to William. No wonder he was so angry.

Moreover, he had given an absolute assurance that he would definitely win the championship.

Because he hired Miluo.

However, he didn't expect that he didn't win the first place even if he hired Miluo. How ridiculous!

I listened to him quietly for a long time, and I sneered in my heart.

"The Empire Group is an unexpected winner. We didn't know that this company was going to participate in this design competition before. We didn't expect that..."

The assistant looked at William and explained to him with fear. William's eyes were extremely cold and terrible.

He clenched his fists hard as if he was trying his best to hold back his anger.

"I see. I won't let it go like this. Go get ready and tell Miluo that he must be serious about the finals and win the championship. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

After the assistant left, I straightened up. When I was about to leave, William saw me.

"Ashley, I didn't expect that you like eavesdropping." William stared at me with a gloomy face.

Hearing his words, I was not angry. Instead, I smiled and said, "Eavesdropping? I listened to your words aboveboard. Why do you think that I was eavesdropping? What's more, your voice is so loud that I have to listen to it. I just happen to have nothing to do, so I listened to you lose your temper for pleasure."

"Ashley, are you feeling proud now?" Hearing what I said, William said as he looked at me with extremely horrible and cold eyes.

When I heard his words, I was surprised and said, "Can you see that? You're really smart."

"You..." William was so angry by what I said that he almost couldn't maintain his demeanor.

Looked at his angry face, I thought of his crafty look, and I was so disgusted.

I was so happy that he finally had an opponent.

"Didn't you say confidently that the championship would belong to Time Group? But the current situation doesn't seem like what you said."

"Hum, this is just a preliminary. With Miluo's international status, do you think I will lose to you and that company?" William glanced at me ironically and said coldly.

When I heard his words, I was not angry. Because ha had a strong opponent. I was not surprised that his temper became bad.

"Whether I will lose or not, let's wait and see. I admit that Miluo is indeed in a high international position. But the competition is founded on strength. No one can make sure that people with high international positions will not fail. This time, I will let you know that you can't win even if Miluo is in a high international position."

"It seems that you are very confident that you can win this competition." William stared at my eyes gloomily and said.

After hearing his words, I just raised my eyebrows and said slowly, "I am very confident in my ability."

I believed that I could definitely win the championship, and I believed in my own ability.

"Ashley, I look forward to your performance. If you don't win the championship, there is no need for the Xi's Group to exist anymore, because I will no longer indulge in the existence of the Xi's Group." William sneered and approached me. His cold breathing passed by my cheek.

I used to treat William as a friend, but we had become tit-for-tat business rivals.

"Then, let's see each other in the finals." I pushed his body away, wiped my hands, and said indifferently. No matter how difficult it was, I couldn't give up this once- in- a- lifetime opportunity. This was the best chance for the Xi's Group to turn over.

At the beginning of the finals, I looked at the designs displayed by the contestants and couldn't help exclaiming.

Their designs were all good. Looking at them, I couldn't help but feel discouraged.

"Ashley, don't be afraid. You can do it." Amy held my hand and said to me.

My lips trembled slightly as I took a look at Amy. Then, I gritted my teeth and nodded.

After other contestants' designs were displayed, it was my turn. When the host read my name, I let the model go to the T- stage in the wedding dress I designed.

I wanted to embody a beautiful romantic atmosphere, and show people the sweetness and bitterness of love.

I had rehearsed for a long time. This time, I believed that I would definitely succeed.

However, I don't know if it was because I was too nervous. When my model was walking the second lap, her high heels were off and she actually fell down from the T-stage.

"Oh my god!" The audience screamed, and I was also scared. I forced myself to calm down and came to the model who fell down. I reached out my hand to her and whispered, "Get up, let's continue."

The model was probably scared, too. After hearing my words, she was a little stunned. Then under my firm gaze, she took off her high heels, took my hand, and went to the stage.

The spotlight fell on us again, and I kept a decent smile all the time, fully showing the theme of my design.

When we finally finished, we came to the backstage. The model apologized to me, "I'm sorry, I don't know why my shoes suddenly..."
