Chapter 100: Rising Star Of The Fashion Industry
Brooke flipped through the glossy pages of the fashion magazine, her eyes fixated on the cover. Lyse’s radiant face, adorned with a confident smile, stared back at her. The bold headline over her face proclaimed, "Could This Be The Rising Star of the Fashion Industry?"
A wave of bitter envy washed over Brooke. She had always prided herself on her beauty, her intelligence, and her talent. But now, it seemed as if Lyse had everything that she had ever wanted. Fame, fortune, and the love of a powerful man who was willing to do anything for her.
It infuriated her to see that there was not even a single whiff of Lyse’s indiscretion, it seemed that Levi had effectively shut down any hints of such a story. Fortunately, Jean Pierre had mysteriously died. She knew that it was the work of that man.
She had not gone near the restaurant to search for the waiter but she had a suspicion that he had also received the same fate that Jean Pierre had faced. She feared the moment that she would have to dance to the man’s tune, but she pushed it to the back of her mind.
She flipped through the glossy pages of the fashion magazine, her eyes fixated on the cover. There, in all her radiant glory, was Lyse, her image larger than life. She was the talk of the town, the rising star of the fashion industry. Brooke’s envy burned bright, a toxic flame consuming her.
She had always considered herself superior to Lyse, a belief rooted in a sense of entitlement. But now, Lyse was soaring to heights she could only dream of. It was infuriating. She had planned to be the one basking in the limelight, not Lyse.
She angrily threw the magazine against the wall, then she glanced at the photos that Kim had sent her, images of what Lyse was currently working on and even her submission for the competition. The clothes were stunning, innovative, and undeniably beautiful.
Another pang of jealousy shot through her. She had always prided herself on her fashion sense, but she had to admit that Lyse’s designs were on another level. She wished that there was a way that she could take away her talent.
She could not allow this to continue for too long. Lyse had to be stopped very soon. But how would she do that? Brooke pondered, her mind racing. She needed a plan, a strategy that would bring Lyse down without implicating her.
