The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 17

Today's designer audition live stream was supposed to be a niche event with only a handful of viewers. But Sean really went all out. From the moment the stream started, advertisements were everywhere-not just in Crescentville, but tionwide on billboards, public transport screens, and major streaming platforms.

Many people tuned i in out of curiosity, and the view count shot up. As soon as they logged on, they were blown away-a young amateur designer had just outperformed tons of professional competitors and moved on to the next round. The audience was in awe, and the chat was buzzing with comments. [Wow! If she hasn't even studied design professionally and already has this kind of talent, just think about what she could do with some experience. She could really shake up the design world!]

I hear you on that-it seems kinda suspect. Everyone knows Yonder Digital dropped its deal with Nelson Group overnight. Looks like the Nelson family is desperate to make things right with Yonder Digital and probably paid for her slot in the auditions.] LOL, she's a rich girl from a fancy family. She might claim she hasn't learned anything, but you know she's had the best mentors behind the scenes.ĺ

[She can't fake a live stream seen by millions. If it were a scam, it would fall apart in the next round-how embarrassing would that be?]

With all her brothers doing so well in their fields, how bad can she be? The genes don't lie. Quit hating.]

The event was so grand that even caught the attention of Walter at the top floor of Lopez Group.
