Chapter 417 Blessing of an Early-born Child
[Who cares why she calls her 'mom'! It's her own choice! You don't understand the mysteries of a wealthy family!]
[Who is the little girl's mother?]
Arthur having a daughter caused quite a stir in the wealthy circle, and many were filled with regret.
Oliver was already married, and it seemed like he had a good relationship with Natalie, too. Even if they were to get divorced in the future, there were too many people willing to take the risk of snatching Oliver away. As a result, many wealthy families shifted their attention to Arthur.
[Look at Arthur, young, handsome, refined, with a better temper than Oliver! He even took over the Windsor Group, and his future is limitless. What a great son-in-law he would be!]
[Who would have thought he suddenly had a daughter?]
Everyone began searching for information, but they never managed to find any clues about the child's mother. It seemed like no one knew, leaving everyone to speculate and imagine endlessly.
That night, they went to The Designer's Finals. Lilian came over to do Natalie's makeup and brought a children's outfit for Tina. She also did Tina's hair putting a small crown on her head and tied a flower on her wrist.
Lilian had been avoiding Morris for some time, so today was the first time she had seen Tina, and she was so happy as if she had found a new toy.
"Natalie, do I look beautiful?" Tina spun around, showing off her outfit.
Natalie raised her thumb. "Super cute!"
With the added cuteness, Lilian couldn't resist giving Tina several kisses while holding her. "Honey, I'm Lilian!"
Tina was a bit cautious at first, but after receiving Lilian's "bribe" and Natalie's praise, she finally agreed to sit there.
She was still wary. It was probably because she had accepted Oliver and Natalie so easily before, most likely because of the "photos" they showed her. She often needed time to recognize people.
"Oh my!" Lilian hugged the child and happily suggested, "Natalie, why don't you and Oliver have another baby so I can play with them?"
Oliver, who had been silent all along, looked up with a gaze that seemed to say, "Take back those words!"
Lilian asked again, "What's wrong with me wishing you a healthy and happy child?"
Of course, there's a problem, Oliver thought. He didn't want a child right now.
'The Designer' was the most prestigious competition for young designers in the world, and the level of professionalism at the finals was no less than that of fashion weeks. Each designer had their preferred style, so this competition was even more exciting than an exclusive show by a brand or a design showcased in fashion weeks.
Originally, This competition was not well-known and attracted very little attention locally and internationally. However, this year, since the organizer was local and the venue was in Paykston, more people started paying attention to the competition.
The sponsors even made Susan the main attraction, grabbing the attention of many netizens. As a result, many netizens stayed up to watch the competition through livestreams from foreign websites.
Some netizens even started polls and surveys to predict the winner, and Susan was leading by a large margin, becoming the voters' favorite choice for first place.
Natalie attended today's event wearing a demure and elegant long dress, accompanied by Oliver who held Tina, who was intricately dressed.
Following closely behind was Arthur, who seemed to be feeling quite awkward with all the attention. He couldn't help but feel anxious as his hands were empty with no child nor companion to accompany him.
Before entering, the entertainment reporters attempted to interview Arthur.
"Mr. Windsor, may I ask why your child is being carried by your brother?"
"Mr. Windsor, please explain why your brother is holding your child?"
"Mr. Windsor, may I ask who the mother of your child is? And why didn't she come to the event today?"
"Mr. Windsor, your daughter seems closer to your brother and sister-in-law than to you, why is that?"
Arthur coldly scanned the crowd of journalists, giving them a deadly glare to silence them. These reporters were silenced and were simply not worthy of the right to interview him!
The Designer competition consisted of two rounds, a semi-final and a final, with some participants having a second chance in a replay.
The judging process this time was anonymous.
Almost every designer had their own unique style and way of handling details, with only a few similarities. Numbers 5 and 19 were singled out for evaluation.
While the design concepts of Number 5 and Number 19 differed, they shared similarities in style and attention to detail that made them seem like they were done by the same person.
In the end, Number 19 took the lead by a margin of 0.9 points and became the first-place winner of the semi-finals, while Number 5 came in second.
Tina was completely absorbed, and when she saw Number 19, she excitedly exclaimed, "Beautiful!"
Seeing his daughter's enthusiasm for this designer's work, Arthur immediately sent someone to contact the designer to see if they could authorize a child version of today's competition design for his daughter. Price was not a problem.
The young people nearby whispered to each other:
"Number 19 must be Susan, the first-place winner has to be Susan, no need doubt!"
"Everyone else is just a novice compared to Susan!"
"That Number 5 seems like an imitation of Susan. I heard there was a rising star overseas who became famous solely by imitating Susan. Could it be him?"
"So shameless, trying to ride on someone's success in this competition!" Natalie laughed and scoffed dismissively.
The group of people turned to confront the person who scoffed at them. They originally wanted to defend Susan but were taken aback when they saw who it was.
These young people were not strangers. They had met at Susan's birthday banquet before and were all friends of Susan's.
Natalie had tickets to the best seats, and as a participant, Susan had a portion of personal tickets to give to her friends, making it easy for everyone to be seated in the same area.
"Why are you laughing? Is there a problem? Susan is a well-known designer, recognized as one of the most promising young designers!"
Natalie looked at them as if they were fools.
Arthur, who had been watching his daughter all along, also smiled at her words.
Several socialites and second-generation wealthy individuals looked at each other, feeling dumbfounded.
Arthur's features were outstanding, with a gentle temperament, and his smile appeared even more pleasant under the soft lighting, making several socialites blush. Since they hadn't seen handsome guys interact with Natalie before, they thought he was speaking on their behalf, judging by his friendly expression.
Little did they know, he may seem like a handsome guy with a gentle demeanor, but he had a mean side to him too. Arthur sneered, "I suggest you all read useful books and news more often, exercise your minds." He knew all too well what Susan's level was!
