Chapter 1146:

Dolores answered with a deep, cheerful laugh. “You better believe it! The competition’s organizing team reached out to me this morning. They even sent a ticket for the live event, so I get to see you on stage with my own eyes!”

For a moment, Linsey couldn’t even process what she had just heard. The news seemed too incredible to be real.

Barely able to find her voice, she whispered, “You mean I actually get to compete in the International Designer Competition? This isn’t a dream, right?”
