Claire exhaled deeply, ignoring her father’s words. She treated them as nothing more than the usual pressure she always received, hoping everything would eventually be okay.

“Father should try to understand,” Claire muttered softly.

She put her phone away and let her gaze fall on the flowers in front of her, trying to calm herself amid what felt like a complicated situation.

Her thoughts drifted to Calvin. She was sure he would be a good husband to her. Even in their brief acquaintance, Claire could see that Calvin was a wise man.

Calvin always handled everything with a cool head. She figured it was probably due to his frequent involvement in war—he had learned to face any situation with composure.

“I wish my family could be more like Calvin,” Claire murmured with a bitter smile.

In reality, she had only ever faced anger from her family. Her father always made decisions that cornered her—one of them being her arranged marriage. They never gave her the chance to approach a man of her o

"Yes, I will definitely show it to you soon"Cloe swallowed her saliva nervously. She also bit her fingers. Really full of fear. She never knew about the evidence that Claire would show.Cloe wasn't even sure if Claire would have evidence. While she did it carefully. Moreover, Cloe was sure that no staff would leak about the incident. However, Claire's words were really able to depress her. Moreover, everyone was currently looking at her with anger.Suddenly, the big screen behind her seemed to light up.

    Claire felt very uncomfortable hearing the many bad things said by Cloe. Even she knew that Cloe's words were able to provoke everyone there. This was an untrue act.All eyes were on her, as if Claire was a very bad woman. This accusation really embarrassed her.Claire tried hard to get away with her appearance wearing bad clothes, not expecting that she would get such a painful accusation.Cloe looked back at the committee. Folding her arms with a cynical look. "This is an unfair act.""Isn't something like this not allowed?" Cloe looked at the other people. Trying to ignite the atmosphere to pressure Claire. This was an act of protest about her being eliminated in the competition.She smiled secretly with memories. Thinking that she had succeeded in inciting everyone there. After all, Cloe really believed in what she thought.So far everyone knows that she is much better than Claire. It makes no sense if she is eliminated."Doesn't she deserve punishment?" Cloe raised an eyebrow. Wa

    Everyone was extremely shocked when they saw Claire's appearance. In fact, all eyes were drawn to Claire’s worn-out clothes.Some people exchanged glances, thinking that the outfit was completely inappropriate for a top model fashion show.“How could she wear such a terrible outfit?”“I think the outfit that contestant is wearing is awful.”Calvin stood there, staring at Claire with anger. Of course, Calvin couldn’t accept the way they were treating Claire so poorly and forcing her to wear such a terrible outfit. It just wasn’t fair.Some of the models who had already walked the runway earlier wore beautiful outfits. In fact, Claire should have been given the best one.“How could she be wearing *that*?” Calvin examined Claire’s appearance. She was wearing clothes that looked truly shabby and faded in color. Even though the outfit didn’t diminish Claire’s beauty, Calvin was still very upset about it.Meanwhile, others in the crowd were still confused. They looked at Claire with mixed f

    A few days passed, and now Claire had arrived at the competition venue, which was about to begin. She came together with Calvin.Just like before, the rapid beating of her heart brought back her doubts. But her determination was incredibly strong. She truly didn’t want to keep being a burden to Calvin. She only wanted to help lighten the load for the both of them. At the very least, she wouldn’t make things harder for Calvin, and she would be somewhat useful.Claire stopped walking. She looked at Calvin with a slight smile. “Wait here, Calvin. I can’t take you inside.”Calvin nodded. He held Claire’s hand. “You have to stay calm. I’ll be waiting for you here.”“I know you’ll do great. I’ll be waiting and sitting over there,” Calvin said, pointing to one of the waiting chairs.Claire nodded. Calvin’s words helped her feel calmer. “Alright. I’ll go now.”Calvin nodded again. Then, he let Claire walk away from him.Now Claire was in a different room. A few people looked at her with stran

    Cloe looked at Claire with a face full of triumph. The woman even wore a clearly proud expression, constantly flashing her winning ticket at Claire.Claire looked back at her, swallowing hard. She only managed a tight-lipped smile out of courtesy, acknowledging Cloe’s achievement. Claire didn’t need to question the woman’s abilities—she knew Cloe was far more talented than she was.All this time, Cloe had been part of an agency and had trained as a high-level model. It was no surprise at all that she passed.“You really are amazing, Cloe. Besides, your skills are unquestionable,” Claire offered a bit of praise.And of course, the compliment only fueled Cloe’s confidence. She smiled as if she had just won a major modeling competition.But Claire still held on to hope. After all, her name hadn’t been called yet. And she truly believed that she would make it through.Unlike Claire, Cloe now looked at her with a belittling gaze.“Well, I’m glad you acknowledge how amazing I am. Modeling i

And Claire was unsure how to calm herself, remembering that she hadn't entered any contests for years.This was a modeling competition that would soon take place, and Claire was very interested in the prize money being offered."10,000 dollars, isn’t that a huge prize for just one day?"
