Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 856

There was still no sign of the last model, and Zuri was beginning to grow anxious. She headed backstage to check.

The next moment, bright lights flooded the stage after the 2-second blackout, stopping her in her tracks.

The music came alive next in rhythmic beats.

Finally, there was Derek. He walked onto the stage and stopped in front of the starting point for a few seconds. The black hat covered his eyebrows and eyes, drawing attention to his high nose and sharp jaws, down to the sensual line of his collarbones. The tear on the clothes had been sewn into the shape of the crescent moon— W Marks Studio's unmistakable insignia.

Derek walked on the stage, his footsteps in time with the beat of the music as he dominated the whole room.

Janet quietly lifted the curtain, unable to take her eyes off him. Derek was a completely different person on stage. There was no trace of the lazy and lethargic man from earlier. Now, the person in front of everyone was a king, and this stage was his. Some people were born to shine under the spotlight. Derek was one of them.

He was the perfect match to Draco's masterpiece. Janet didn't feel it in the fitting room, but she could see it now. Derek's movements were sure and fluid, flawlessly showing off the clothes.

All eyes were fixed on him. At this moment, he held the entire room in the palm of his hand.

There could have been no better finale. After his walk, the show was finished. All the models came onto the stage one by one. Under the lights, the logo of W Marks Studio gleamed proudly on the screen.

Zuri was left astounded by the whole show. She brought her hands together in a loud clap, and others followed. Soon, the room was drowning with the sound of applause.

Backstage, Zuri cleared her throat and said, "Janet, you should go out and say something. I'm sure everyone would like to hear a few words from the designer of W Marks Studio."

It was the right decision to let Janet in today.
