The host, already aware of what had to be done in this situation, said, “Anita, you have been disqualified from the competition for pretending to be L.P."

Anita's eyes began to blur, and she felt lightheaded. She was in so much shock that she had to be escorted off the stage.

"Now, I'd like to announce that the first-place award goes to Lilah!"

Grinning, Lilah waved at Phoebe and the other Hualand designers.

"Whoo! You're so cool!" Phoebe and the others let out delighted whoops.

The Hualand people in the audience responded with thunderous applause, showing how moved they were.

After years of being mocked by the people of Fauwille, they could finally hold their heads high in their presence.

Now, the world knew that Hualand, too, had talented designers.

After all, L.P, the designer everyone admired so much, was actually born in Hualand.

Onlookers from different countries caught the fever of Hualand people's enthusiasm and began clapping along with them.

"Oh, my God! I had no idea L.P was from Hualand."

"She's so low-key."

"I've always known that Hualand has excellent designers, but I've noticed that many of them are too devoted entirely to their craft to worry about gaining fame."

"I might visit Hualand once the competition is over."

"I wonder if we can get L.P's autograph later!"

In contrast to the crowd's excitement, the judges from Fauwille had sour expressions on their faces.

If they had known earlier that Lilah was L.P, they would not have allowed her to get into the final round.

The presentation of awards was about to commence when someone suddenly rose to their feet.

"If Anita can't win, then neither can Lilah. She shouldn't be in the competition in the first place. She's not a saint either."

As he spoke, Bernard walked onto the stage.

Damon glared at Bernard as if he wanted to pierce him with a thousand arrows.

What was the traitor planning to do?

Under everyone's questioning gaze, Bernard let out a sigh. "I didn't want to bring this up, but I had to in order to maintain fairness in the competition. After the preliminary rounds, Lilah came up to me and tried to seduce me so that she could get into the finals and claim the championship. Of course, I did not fall for it. I flat-out rejected her and called her out for resorting to underhanded methods."

“Bernard, what nonsense are you talking about? Get off the stage right this instant!" Damon's face turned pale in anger.
