Shredded Vows: The Billionaire’s Secret Heir novel Chapter 33

"Why?" Lydia was taken aback, completely unable to accept the dismissal.

"Ms. Vance, I don't care what your reasons are, but please respect Nexus Design Studio. Mr. Gray specifically requested our collaboration."

"..." Stella, however, was out of patience and didn't want to waste time, especially since her prior decision still stood.

She waved a dismissive hand. "Fine, let's hear it. Make it quick."

This little hiccup delighted Serena, who shifted in her seat, a smug smile blooming across her face.

Lydia didn't let the hostility affect her. Her mental fortitude was unshakeable.

She stood up, her expression calm yet utterly unyielding.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lydia Rose. My interpretation of 'Heritage and Breakthrough' goes beyond just visual innovation. I believe it requires the continuation of spirit."

"Oh, spare us the pretentious jargon!" Serena snapped, glaring at her. "Just get to the point. Can't you see we're short on time?" She was deliberately trying to derail Lydia's train of thought.

Lydia shot her a sideways glance. "If we're short on time, then you should talk less."

"You...!" The Sterling heiress practically had steam blowing out of her ears.

Stella's expression darkened. "Enough! Stop bickering. Just get on with it, Lydia."

Lydia looked back to the front, her voice clear and remarkably steady. "My design inspiration comes from the treasures of ancient Eastern clothing, which are invaluable assets to human civilization. Through modern tailoring, I want to revive the vitality of these traditional patterns and show them to the world."

It was a refreshing angle. The sheer cultural confidence made Stella's eyes light up. She finally focused on Lydia and listened with genuine intent.

Lydia flipped open her sketchbook and slid it toward Stella. "Please take a look at this draft. This is my initial concept."

The sketch showed the silhouette of an evening gown. The intricate brocade patterns flowed like a dream, while the cuffs and hem were sharply accented with modern, geometric cuts, creating a flawless blend of classic and contemporary elements.
