Chapter 175 Cecilia's Dress
Rebecca had just managed to calm down, but now she was fuming again.
She went back to the exhibition hall, planning to leave right away.
The thought of Alaric and Cecilia kissing made her sick.
So, she sat back down in the hall, deliberately taking Alaric's seat.
She thought Cecilia would get mad.
She wanted to provoke her.
But Cecilia didn't care at all.
Then Alaric limped back, showing no reaction to Rebecca in his seat.
He just sat next to her calmly.
This made Rebecca feel childish and pathetic.
She kept telling herself to stay calm, trying to hold back her emotions.
She thought she might be able to negotiate with Cecilia again.
It was clear she had the upper hand in their rivalry.
Cecilia was desperate to advance her career, so Rebecca planned to use that.
If Cecilia gave up Alaric, Rebecca would leave her alone.
But she never expected Cecilia to say something so insulting.
Was Cecilia overconfident, or was she truly invincible?
Rebecca had heard the final spokesperson for the Tower of Light was an unknown artist named Lily.
She looked into Lily and found she had no background or potential.
Yet Cecilia signed her.
Was Cecilia giving up because she couldn't sign Wendy, or was there another plan?
But what plan could Cecilia have?
Rebecca thought Cecilia was just stubborn.
One day, she would crush Cecilia completely.
She would make her regret everything.
"Ms. Adams, mind your own business. The Adams family is complicated, and if you fail, your siblings could easily replace you. Take care of yourself," Cecilia said coldly, showing disdain.
Rebecca snapped, "Cecilia, don't come begging me later."
Cecilia replied, "Ms. Adams, same to you."
Rebecca was so angry she gritted her teeth.
Compared to Cecilia's calm, Rebecca was clearly more upset.
She threw out, "We'll see."
One day, she would make Cecilia deeply regret it.
Rebecca stood up, ready to leave.
Just then, a spotlight hit her and Cecilia.
Rebecca was standing, Cecilia was sitting.
Rebecca had been so focused on arguing, she had no idea what was happening on stage.
But when the spotlight hit her, she quickly put on a perfect smile and elegant demeanor.
She saw Gailo Williams, head of Harmony Threads in the Asiana region and a shareholder of the luxury brand, walking down the runway.
In the Asiana region, Gailo made all the decisions for Harmony Threads.
Ordinary people couldn't get in touch with him.
Even when the Lockhart Group discussed Harmony Threads, it was Gailo's assistant who handled everything; the head of Lockhart Group never met Gailo.
Gailo rarely made public appearances, usually only at new product launches, and even then, not always. So, seeing her now was a big deal.
Rebecca naturally assumed Gailo was there for her.
When Rebecca first became a model for Harmony Threads, it wasn't in the Yakurosean Empire. She was studying abroad when she attended a local Harmony Threads launch, and got noticed by their chief designer. She modeled abroad for a while, and when Harmony Threads expanded into the Yakurosean Empire, she became their brand ambassador and top model there.
She was a big name in the modeling world, but she left at her peak to return to her family business.
The Adams family had a complicated background, and she needed to earn her place to inherit the legacy.
Her sudden departure surprised Harmony Threads, and they tried to persuade her to stay, but she didn't budge.
Now, two years later, she thought Harmony Threads wanted her back.
She figured they had Gailo personally come down to make it hard for her to refuse.
She thought she could return to Harmony Threads if they agreed to enter her business circle.
Rebecca stood there proudly, even extending her hand slightly to show friendliness to Gailo.
But her move backfired.
Gailo didn't even glance at her and walked straight to Cecilia, who had also stood up.
Rebecca watched as the usually stern Gailo smiled warmly and took Cecilia's hand.
Cecilia smiled gracefully, looking calm and composed, as if she expected this.
Why was Cecilia so composed?
Why did Cecilia get the personal welcome from Gailo?
Rebecca watched coldly as Cecilia and Gailo exchanged a few words, and then Cecilia took off her black trench coat.
The moment Cecilia took off her coat, the crowd buzzed.
Rebecca heard the gasps from the crowd.
Even she was stunned by Cecilia's dress.
The dress was strapless, showing off Cecilia's long neck and slender shoulders. The bodice had no decorations but sparkled under the spotlight. The skirt had a voluminous long train, making Cecilia's figure look even more slender, elegant, and noble. The dress was exquisitely tailored and adorned with colorful rhinestones, creating a visual delight, like a colorful starry sky.
