Chapter 214 The Show Is Ruined

Grace remained indifferent. “Mr. Hawkins, I’m not the person you should be seeing. Yvonne is still in prison. If you have time, go visit her.”

As the name came up, Benjamin’s expression changed. “Don’t mention her.”

However, Grace smiled. “What’s wrong, Mr. Hawkins? Did your first love turn into a nightmare?”

Benjamin suppressed the anger within him. “Grace, things between me and her are not what you think. Why won’t you believe-”

“That’s enough, Mr. Hawkins. It’s an important day for me today. Bringing up past matters will only bring bad luck.”

Grace didn’t care about anything between him and Yvonne. She had no interest in any aspect of their relationship.

“I have to go now. Feel free to walk around.” With that, Grace walked away without looking back.

However, when she returned backstage, chaos awaited her.

“Gracie, you’re finally back. We’ve got a problem.” Emily anxiously pulled her arm.

Grace quickly asked, “What happened? What’s going on?”

“The clothes are ruined.”

Hearing that, Grace hurried over and saw several pieces on the table that were cut into pieces.

Grace picked one of them up. Seeing that they were all unrecognizable, she asked shakily, ” What happened?”

“Ms. Lewis, we just left for a moment, and when we came back, it was like this.”

“We don’t know who did this.”

“What do we do now? The fashion show is starting in half an hour.”

“These are all centerpieces. The show is ruined.”

The models whispered to each other, mostly sighing in resignation.

Emily fumed. “Which bastard did this? If I replace out who it is, I’ll tear them apart!‘

At this moment, someone from the front came to urge them. “Ms. Lewis, the stage is ready. The models can take their positions.”

Seeing the chaotic situation, Grace forced herself to calm down. “How much time is left?”

Emily checked her watch. “We have 26 minutes until the show starts, but the full program will take around 40 minutes before our segment.”

Grace reexamined the shredded clothes and made a determined decision. “Give me a pair of scissors and a pack of needles and thread.”

Without hesitation, the staff handed them over.

Emily asked, “Gracie, what are you planning to do?”

Grace pressed her l*ps together. “Let’s see if I can salvage this. We can’t let the show be a complete disaster.”

Then, she got to work. She hung the clothes on the mannequin, took the pair of scissors, and started to trim the fabric.

Meanwhile, in the front hall, many guests were already seated, and cameras were focused on the center stage. This fashion show had attracted the attention of many, and the global media representatives were preparing for a live broadcast.

Although Samuel hadn’t received an invitation, he was also there, seated in an inconspicuous spot.

Just then, Samuel’s assistant, Zane Brown, approached him. Zane looked at the stage and then whispered, “Director Walker, I did as you told me to. Don’t worry. It was done discreetly and perfectly.”

Hearing that, Samuel smiled. “Good. I’m eager to see how Grace will handle this situation.“..

As he spoke, a hint of triumph shone in his eyes. He couldn’t wait to see Grace kneel and beg for mercy.
