If he had known that the scoundrel was a troublemaker, he could have avoided a lot of difficulties by not letting the man join the Hualand Design Association.

"Mr. Schultz, I wasn't going to say anything because I know how difficult it is for Hualand to even get to the top three. However, the winner of this competition should be someone with skills and strong moral fiber. Lilah has the former but doesn't have the latter, yet she is declared the winner Also, I'm not making this up. I have evidence to back up my claim"

Bernard pulled out his phone, connected it to the projector, and played a video.

The video was taken outside of Lilah's room. She opened the door, and after a short exchange, Bernard entered the room.

“When Lilah invited me inside, I thought she had something important to discuss with me. So, I was really shocked when she suddenly threw herself at me. I was taken aback by her behavior. I tried to reprimand her, but she was stubborn. She said she would do anything as long as she received a high score in the competition."

Although the video had no sound, it was easy to guess the intentions of a woman when she let a man into her room.

The people from Fauwille, who had been silent until then, began throwing insults at Lilah.

"Mr. Stein, you think so highly of yourself," Lilah stated coldly as she looked him up and down with a scornful gaze. "I'm sorry, but even if you were the last man on Earth, I still wouldn't be interested in someone like you."

For a moment, Bernard looked offended, but he recomposed himself immediately. "I know there is nothing you wouldn't do for the championship. Maybe you also obtained your previous awards through similar means. The winner shouldn't be someone Like you. Everyone, I want you to vote Lilah out of the competition."

"Disqualify Lilah!"

“Disqualify Lilah!"

The Fauwille people in the audience erupted into chants.

The judges from Fauwille appeared to be torn for a while. Eventually, one of them spoke up. “Oh, Lilah, we had no idea you were capable of doing such things. Why did you do that? Do you have no trust in your own abilities? You're talented enough to win the competition, but if we declare you the winner, it will make us look bad. After all, we're all good people first and designers second. So, we're sorry to say this, but you're disqualified."

"Are the judges from Fauwille all blind?" a cold and stern voice interjected.

As a tall, imposing figure strode onto the stage, a sensation of impending danger swept across the venue, and as a result, everyone became silent.

Some people were able to recognize him immediately because of his outstanding good looks.

"Mr. Harris?"

"Wow, isn't that Gerard?"

"What is he doing here? Is he friends with Lilah?"

The mood of the audience shifted when they recognized the man on stage as Gerard, and the judges from Fauwille began showing visible signs of fear.

They were in the presence of the wealthiest man in Hualand, after all.

Bernard stared at the scene before him in shock. He did not think that the guy he had seen in the hospital was none other than Gerard, the wealthiest man in Hualand.

Phoebe covered her gaping mouth.

She had heard of Gerard's name, but she had no idea that particular client of Lilah's was actually the esteemed Gerard Harris.
