Once back in Allath, Gilda’s first task was to visit Draven.
In Professor's Office of Allath University.
Draven was showcasing Gilda’s designs at the fashion show to sstudents.
“Professor Olson, the success of this fashion show is significantly connected to the main designs.” Cedric, one of
Draven'’s students, commented.
Draven nodded in agreement.
“Indeed, the designs this twere outstanding. Our department has received several invitations to major
international shows,” he said.
“Is that true, professor? Does this mean we might get the chance to attend international shows?” another
student said, his eyes lighting up.
“Certainly! But securing this opportunity was no easy feat.
“Previously, the international fashion scene rejected our work, undermining our abilities, claiming we couldn’t

“It’s absolutely uplifting.”
A group of twenty-something students were thrilled.
One person stood out, his face void of joy, replaced by a hint of mockery.
“This design is plain, lacks any spark. | wonder what the hype is all about,” he said.
The room fell silent instantly.
“What do you mean, Ludas? Are you also unimpressed by our designs?” someone asked.
Lucas snorted disdainfully.
“The design quality is significantly inferior to Jane’s. | can’t fathom why you chose her as the lead designer for

“We all know you admire Jane, but in this instance, Jane clearly made a mistake.
“We need to be objective instead of blindly favoring someone.”
Lucas’s expression soured instantly. “What do you all know? What's wrong with Jane? Isn’t her professional
capability stronger than Gilda’s? But Professor Olson is biased and doesn’t give her a chance!”

Draven'’s rigid expression softened slightly while seeing her.
“Gilda, perfect timing. We were discussing your work,” he started.
The other students spotted Gilda.
A glimmer of idolization filled their eyes. “Gilda, please take a seat!”
“Gilda, letget you swater.”
“Gilda, you're my idol. Can I intern at your company after | graduate?”
Greeted by the enthusiasm of the students, Gilda smiled in response. “Absolutely, you're welcome!”
“Really? That's fantastic! I'll surely apply to Glory Corporation right after | graduate.”
Watching everyone gravitate toward Gilda, Lucas’s mind wandered to Jane, still in prison, feeling profoundly
unfair.
In his mind, Gilda merely seized Jane's fashion show opportunity due to her family background.
So, sarcastically, he said, “This society is truly a place where connections matter. People do whatever they want
