Chapter 713 The Female Lead Turning To Villain
"Thank you all for joining us at today’s fashion show. I poured my heart into designing dresses that enhance a woman’s beauty without overshadowing her essence. They say a dress makes the woman, but I believe a woman should command the dress with her aura and confidence."
"A dress should be both a battle armor and a sanctuary—a piece that empowers while offering comfort. When we feel effortlessly beautiful in what we wear, we exude confidence in every setting, whether it’s a business gathering, a speech, or any endeavor we pursue. I truly appreciate your time and admiration for my work."
As Athena concluded her speech, the models who had returned backstage gracefully reemerged, forming a striking ensemble behind her. Among them, only Hera was led to stand beside Athena, subtly highlighting her as the show’s ultimate muse, drawing the media’s attention and the admiration of the audience.
This way, Athena could not only emphasize Hera’s presence but also showcase that her masterpiece was brought to life by Hera herself—making it clear that Hera wasn’t just wearing the stunning piece; she was the embodiment of it.
A ripple of applause spread through the crowd, with Leo, Luke, Rafael, Dave, and Zhane rising from their seats alongside Athena’s parents, clapping in admiration for Athena’s speech while their eyes remained fixed on Hera with adoring gazes.
It was only then that Alice finally noticed them—but she had no time to dwell on it. A storm of anger and resentment brewed inside her. How could Hera have everything so effortlessly?
And to make matters worse, the very young prodigy designer she had been so eager to see turned out to be her so-called best friend.
The realization felt like a slap to the face. Hatred and jealousy twisted inside her—why did Hera get to bask in the spotlight, surrounded by success and admiration, while she had to struggle just to grasp even a fragment of what Hera had?
"Hera!" Alice hissed through gritted teeth, her voice low but dripping with malice and hatred.
