Chapter 227 Ridiculed

Aaron only let Grace leave Frenda after she agreed to his condition. Once Grace reached

Pamore, the first thing she did was visit Alan.

In a professor’s office at Pamore University, Alan was with several students, studying Grace’s work from the fashion show.

“Professor Morris, the success of this fashion show is closely related to the design of the centerpiece,” one of Alan’s students, Ashton Weaver, said.

Alan agreed to Ashton’s comment.

“Yes, the design this time really stood out. Our university has received invitations from several large foreign shows.”

“Really? Professor, does that mean we can get a chance to go abroad to watch the show?” Another student’s eyes lit up.

“Of course! But this opportunity wasn’t easy to come by. Before this, the international fashion world was very dismissive of our work. They even belittled us, saying that we couldn’t design clothes that would be loved in global markets. Now we’ve finally shown our strength.”

“This is truly inspiring.”

The group of university students in their 20s were very excited, except for one person.

There was no joy on his face. Instead, his expression showed a hint of sarcasm.

“This design is plain and unremarkable. The designer really has no sense of design.”

As soon as he spoke, everyone quieted down.

“Tyson, what do you mean by that? Don’t you appreciate our designs either?”

Tyson Burton snorted disdainfully. “This designer’s skills are obviously far inferior to May’s. What were you thinking, Professor Morris? How could you let her be the chief designer for the

fashion show?”

At the mention of May, Alan’s expression turned extremely ugly.

The others had heard about May’s situation, and they chose to keep silent.

“Tyson, speak carefully. If you can’t, then shut up.‘

“Everyone knows that you admire May, but in this case, she was obviously in the wrong. We have to recognize that instead of blindly favoring her.”

At once, Tyson looked like he had just eaten a lemon. “What do you guys know? What has May

“Isn’t she better than Grace? But Professor Morris was biased and didn’t give May this opportunity.”

Everyone awkwardly exchanged glances. Meanwhile, Alan’s face was stern.

At this moment, Grace arrived. “Professor Morris.”

When Alan saw her, his stiff face softened a little. “Grace, you came at the right time. We were discussing your work.”

Upon seeing Grace, the other students had a glint of admiration in their eyes, as if they were seeing their idol. “Ms. Lewis, please have a seat.”

“Ms. Lewis, let me pour you some water.”

“Ms. Lewis, you’re my idol. Can I intern at your company after graduation?”

Facing everyone’s warm welcome, Grace smiled. “Of course, you’re welcome.”

“Really? That’s great! When I graduate, I’ll report to Amirate right away.”

Seeing everyone circling around Grace, Tyson thought of May, who was still in jail, and felt extremely upset.

In his eyes, Grace had grabbed the opportunity for the fashion show from Mary by relying on her family background.

So he sarcastically said, “This society really is a place where background matters. Relying on your identity and background, you can do whatever you want.

“Clearly, you have no real skills, but you snatched the dream opportunity that others longed for. How dare you still shamelessly boast here? Do you really think you’re something?”
