The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 169

The moment Vivienne spoke, a hush fell over the bleachers. Everyone who heard her turned to look in her direction.

What did Vivienne just say?

Hazel almost thought she had misheard. Before she could utter a mocking retort, Helen abruptly stood up, her icy gaze fixed on Vivienne. “What did you just say?”

“I said, ‘Beyond is as wrong as falling short.” Vivienne’s long eyelashes fluttered slightly as she met Helen’s gaze and repeated her words calmly.

“What gives you, a country bumpkin, the right to judge Mike’s designs like that?” Helen’s face was a picture of outrage.

When her family, the Edwards family, initially vied for the agency rights to Mr. Mike’s brand, it was partly due to the potential profit but also because Helen was a big fan and had highly recommended it.

Helen had always been a devoted fan of Mike. She never missed a show and had collected every piece he had ever designed. In her eyes, aside from the elusive Master Charles, Mr. Mike was the most gifted fashion designer in recent years.

She was now preparing for her college entrance exams and had no plans to attend a local university. Instead, she was aiming to study abroad at Mike’s alma mater, the prestigious King’s Design Academy in Veloria.

Her dream was to become a fashion designer like Charles and Mike.
