The female presenter of the award received the black envelope containing the names of the winners for this year's competition. She smiled at the crowd as she opened the envelope in her hands. She pulled out the list and announced it to everyone.
"The nomination awards recipients are…"
Three of the designers accepted the awards from the male presenter with a bright smile on their faces, leaving Li Meili and Liu Ruoyan on the stage along with their models.
"I'm not surprised at this at all. I knew it would end like this."
"Who do you think will win?"
"Liu Ruoyan, of course! Just look at her entry and tell me who can make a breathtaking dress like that?"
"But the Black Nightingale's entry doesn't fall behind. Look at the intricate details the black dress has. Such details would need to be manually done by hand and seeing that design, I would have no doubt that one would need a long time to be able to produce such superior quality."
Meanwhile, Liu Ruoyan was confident that she would be declared victorious tonight. Thankfully, Xing Yiyue hadn't done something to ruin her chances and went along with her plan. Her heart was now beating so fast from the excitement.
She was about to win. She was about to show Li Meili that she had picked the wrong person to fight head on. Who cared if Li Meili was a Li heiress or if she's the most magnificent Black Nightingale who was known to cater only to the upper class? In this competition, no one had ever beaten Liu Ruoyan yet.
She smugly looked at Li Meili who remained nonchalant beside Luo Qingqing. The cheering coming from below the stage got louder when only two designers were left.
"The winner of this year's competition, the recipient of the Golden Thread Award is none other than…"
"Congratulations, Miss Liu! You managed to defend your winning streak!" the female presenter announced.
Luo Qingqing's shoulder fell but Li Meili smiled and accepted her loss. She had to admit that Liu Ruoyan's dress was amazing and spectacular— that was if Liu Ruoyan was really the one who made it.
Zhang Jiren promised her that she would win tonight but she guessed even her mighty husband couldn't stop Liu Ruoyan's dirty tactics. Or so she thought. Her eyes met her husband's gaze and she could only smile back in return.
What was she supposed to say? She had done her best already but Liu Ruoyan was still able to beat her. Now, she also had to accept that she would also lose the black dress too. As per the competition's tradition, the top 5 dresses were to be auctioned in public with seventy percent of its sales going to the chosen charity.
The black dress Luo Qinqing was wearing was very important to Li Meili. Not only did she make it with sweat and blood, but it was her tribute to her deceased beloved, Tang Beixuan. If she could, she'd like to keep this dress with her but that wasn't possible at all.
The male presenter came back with a bouquet of flowers and the Golden Thread Award which was to be given to Liu Ruoyan. He handed the flowers to Liu Ruoyan whose smile almost reached her ears as extreme excitement overwhelmed her.
However, just as she was about to receive the award she had long coveted, a young man who was part of the committee rushed forward and whispered something to the male presenter. The man immediately pulled the trophy away from Liu Ruoyan, leaving everyone speechless.
"What was happening? Why didn't he give Liu Ruoyan the award?"
"Did something happen?" Seeing this scene, obviously the public were stunned.
Liu Ruoyan glanced at the crowd with the same questions ringing in her head. What the hell was going on? She wondered. Just as she was about to get her hands on the award, they denied her of it.
"Sir, what's going on? Why did you take back my award?" Liu Ruoyan was visibly upset. Wasn't this like being slapped on the face in front of everyone? Li Meili was supposed to be the laughingstock tonight with her epic loss, not her!
"Obviously because you aren't worthy of it." The man frowned at her and snatched back the bouquet of flowers in her hands. "You were never worthy of it," he added before giving the flowers and handing the Golden Thread Award to Li Meili who was shocked at the sudden turn of events.
"W-what?"
"Congratulations, Black Nightingale. You earned everyone's recognition tonight. Please continue working hard in the future. We're excited to see your future works. I hope you won't disappoint us."
"Thank you, sir," Li Meili said politely before glancing at her husband who gave her a proud smile. He was immediately surrounded by the other attendees, congratulating him for her win.
Was this what Zhang Jiren meant earlier? Did the evidence against Liu Ruoyan's dirty schemes finally manage to reach the committee?
"What the hell is going on here?!" Liu Ruoyan finally lost her composure and blurted out. "I will sue you! How dare you humiliate me like this?!" She yelled at the male presenter who was clearly displeased with her attitude.
The same young man from the earlier came up on the stage and passed a new black envelope to the male presenter. He opened the envelope and read the content at once.
"On behalf of the Golden Thread Awards, may I remind all designers who would want to join the competition in the future that your entries should be made by you and only you. Stealing, copying, and altering of other designers' works are strictly prohibited," he announced.
"Wait. What? Did he just imply that Liu Ruoyan cheated?"
"It seems like it. Why do you think he took back the trophy if she hasn't done anything wrong?"
The whispers within the crowd continued. This was a shocking revelation no one had anticipated to hear and to witness.
"Since Miss Liu Ruoyan had not only cheated once and went as far as bribing our two judges, the committee hereby disqualifies Miss Liu Ruoyan. She would be blacklisted from joining the competition in the future. Aside from that, the committee would take back the titles she received from the previous years and pass it on to their rightful owners. We hope that Miss Liu will also face the consequences of her actions in court as we will file for the damages she has done to this competition."
