Chapter 443
Arya leisurely tidied up the collar of her dress and glanced at Meredith carelessly. She could not help
but sneer with disdain.
With her picky eyes and preconceived ideas, she naturally looked down on Meredith's design. This
time, she was sure to win the competition.
A confident and proud smile rose appeared on her face.
Meredith sensed her gaze, and there was no expression on her face. She calmly did the final finishing
work.
Derek stood up and waved to the secretary next to him, who immediately went to the lounge and asked
all three of them over.
As soon as the girl's parents entered the design room, they were immediately attracted by Arya's
design. They looked around her design in amazement.
Arya stood beside them with her arms folded around her chest, a smug smile almost spilling over her
face. She looked at Meredith with disdain.
Meredith ignored her. Instead, her eyes focused on the girl beside her, and she sighed with relief.
She found that the girl did not show any aversion to her design, but looked at it curiously. She was
relieved a lot.
Because she clearly saw earlier that the girl looked at Arya's design without any surprise on her face.
She then looked away calmly.
"Mr. And Mrs. Wang, you can look at Director Mason's design again and choose between the two of
us," Arya said with a smile on her face.
Mr. Wang and his wife were stunned, then they thought of another designer's design. They immediately
looked at Meredith and noticed the model's sample clothes next to her, and a look of disappointment
revealed on their faces.
Derek saw it clearly and his face darkened. His eyes were full of warning as he looked at Arya, then he
looked at Meredith with a worried look.
To be honest, although she also knew that Arya's design was really eye-catching and that her clothes
paled in comparison, she still felt terrible looking at the disappointed eyes of the two guests.
"Meredith's designs are also very good, but my wife and I still decided to choose Miss Arya's."
The couple immediately summoned their daughter and said, "Come over and try it on."
The girl looked at Meredith's design. "Why did you design it like this?"
Most people wouldn't think she liked to wear women's clothes when they saw her dressed like that.
She wondered what Meredith was thinking.
Meredith smiled faintly. Her designs attracted the attention of the girl who had always been indifferent,
which meant that she was halfway through. "Because I saw the ring on your hand," she replied.
"Ring?"
The girl was taken aback, but she deliberately said coldly, "Then you really think you're smart!"
Arya was very happy to hear that. When she saw the girl looking at Meredith's clothes, she thought she
had neglected something.
Now it seemed that Meredith failed to flatter the girl.
"It doesn't matter if I'm smart or not, but why are you wearing a ring that doesn't go with your style?"
When the couple heard this, they came over to take a look. When they saw what was in her hand, their
faces changed. "This is?"
The girl's mother suddenly choked up, "Isn't this the ring your brother gave you before? You still have
it!"
The others remained in silence.
Mrs. Wang wiped away her tears. "I'm sorry. Her brother had an accident a few years ago. Since then,
my daughter doesn't like those beautiful dresses and dolls?"
Mr. Wang was also very emotional when he heard this.
When their son was 17 years old, he died in a car accident. Since then, they didn't dare to have much
sway over their daughter.
The loss of a child was already very painful. They couldn't bear to stand seeing anything happen to
their daughter if they kept their daughter under control.
Therefore, she liked to wear men's clothes, and Mr. And Mrs. Wang did not interfere. This time, it was
her adult gift, and they specially invited a famous designer from Xavier Group to surprise her daughter.
Hearing this, Meredith understood something.
She had always felt that this girl was not money-strapped, but she always wore a ring with a different
style and a less expensive material, which made sense.
In particular, after learning about the past, she was more sure about her guess.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to touch your sore spot. I just felt that your daughter shouldn't be carrying
something extra."
"When you came in, you didn't look at the gorgeous men's clothes over there, but at my rather ordinary
women's clothes. This means that you don't want to be a boy. You want to put on the clothes that your
brother used to wear, pretending he was still there, right?"
When the couple heard this, they looked at their daughter in astonishment.
The girl shook her head, but Meredith fixed her eyes on her. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She looked at her as if she could see through her.
Meredith wasn't quite sure, but they were all people who had been traumatized. She had a natural
empathy for this girl's psychology.
"I asked my brother to buy me candied chestnuts when he had a car accident,."
The girl lowered her head and spoke slowly.
Her brother, who was several years older than her, had always been indulgent towards her.
That day, she insisted on eating the sweet-fried chestnuts from a shop downtown. Her brother could
only take a taxi to buy them.
Unexpectedly, he got into a car accident.
From that day on, she felt that she was a sinner. She thought such thing would not happened to her
outstanding and gentle brother if she had not forced him to buy things.
Sometimes, she even felt that she deserved to die.
Seeing her parents' sad expressions, she felt so guilty that she didn't know what to say. Without
knowing it, she got used to it.
Because she looked a little like her brother, she put on her men's clothes. It was as if her brother was
still alive. If her parents saw it, she thought they would be happy.
After listening to the girl's thoughts, Mrs. Wang suddenly burst into tears.
Perhaps she had once blamed her son's death on her daughter and hurt her fragile and sensitive heart.
It was her negligence.
"I'm sorry, kid. It's our fault for ignoring your feelings."
Meredith looked at the family in front of her hugging each other, and she felt bitter. When Derek saw
her, he came over in time and held her shoulder, as if he wanted to give her strength.
After that, the girl looked at Meredith's clothes. "Me? Can I try?"
"Of course."
Meredith immediately handed the clothes over.
Arya looked at them coldly. She gritted her teeth with a livid face. She thought she was going to win,
but she never expect that she would be defeated by Meredith.
What kind of luck did she have to know about this client's privacy?
It was clear that her design was better, but she lost because she didn't know what this girl was going
through. She was not convinced.
She suspected if Derek have revealed something in advance.
