Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 328

Chapter 328: Selina Nearly Threw Up

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the stage, completely stunned.

That was Angelica’s design? ...God!

A breathtaking white gown was rolled onto the stage. The length, the cut, the pattern—every detail was flawlessly executed.

One contestant murmured, "I’ve never seen a design this stunning in my life..."

"So that’s the gap between me and Angelica..."

"Well, she’s already Morris Group’s lead designer. She must have serious skills. This championship is definitely hers."

Even the judges were full of praise for Angelica just moments ago.

"We have our winner."

"Isn’t there still Selina?"

"Come on. She’s not even in the same league as Angelica."

"Mr. Rowan, what do you think?"

Everyone turned to look.

Instantly, the venue went silent. Not a breath was heard.

Rowan—the most renowned designer in the country. A national treasure who controlled half the fashion industry. He also held the competition’s golden vote, meaning he alone could veto or crown the winner.

He always wore a mask. No one had ever seen his face.

Angelica looked up shyly, biting her lip.

Would Rowan praise her? If he did, no one would ever dare question her again.

Sure, the dress was technically designed by Selina, but what did it matter? Everything Selina had should’ve belonged to her. The design sketch was hers now. She was even being generous by letting Selina have that much.

Logan’s gaze landed on the gown.

A pure white dress—truly striking. No surprise, coming from Mrs. Reid.

He lifted his eyes slightly and nodded with detached calm. "Not bad."

The audience collectively held its breath.

Rowan had spoken. He said it was "not bad"!

After all these years, the only designer Rowan had ever openly praised was Star.

Rigel’s face lit up with excitement. Angelica clenched her fists tightly, nearly trembling. The entire audience was buzzing.

"She got unanimous praise from the judges and Rowan himself likes her design—what a dream."

"There’s no suspense. Angelica has this in the bag. Selina’s next, and there’s no way she can top this."

Selina narrowed her eyes.

As expected, Angelica’s design was identical to hers.

And Rowan’s compliment?

Well, the silhouette and the structure of that dress had been designed by her. Of course it deserved praise.

Angelica’s aunt from the Morris Family beamed with pride and raised her chin smugly.

"See that? That’s Angelica’s real skill! And some people have the nerve to show their face here. So what if Angelica lost a championship once—she’s already winning another one!"

Others chimed in with flattery: "Exactly. Miss Clark is a true talent. This title belongs to her."

"Last time, Miss Angelica only lost because of those shortsighted fools from the Clark Family. Selina just got lucky. She doesn’t need to bribe judges—her talent speaks for itself."

Selina’s smile grew deeper.

Right. Angelica had the "talent." Winning a title was totally normal.

But what if... every ounce of Angelica’s "talent" had been stolen?

Onstage, one judge—eager to curry favor with the Morris Family and Rigel—suggested, "I say we declare the winner now. Angelica’s work is clearly beyond the average. Not giving her the championship would be unjustified."
