?Chapter 392:


    Kolton put his arm around Mariana’s shoulders and announced to the guests, “Mariana graduated this year from Wegus University’s School of Business and also received a degree from the School of Design. In the future, she will take charge of the fashion brand Aurora Apparel Company, part of the Cooper Group, and guide it to even greater heights!”


    The audience was taken aback.


    At just twenty-three, Mariana had already earned two degrees from Wegus University, famed as one of the finest in the world. Alumni from its business school had risen to prominence, transforming the businessndscape, while graduates from the School of Design were regarded as the best in the industry, leading the charge in luxury brand creation.


    The heirs of the Cooper family were genuinely unique.


    It wasn’t surprising that the Cooper family had stayed at the pinnacle of Wront for so long.


    “Miss Cooper running Aurora Apparel Company? It’s destined to be one of the leading fashion brands worldwide!”


    “Miss Cooper was not just skilled in business; she also shone in design. She was an ideal candidate for Aurora Apparel Company. I felt certain that soon, Aurora Apparel Company would snag the top honors in international design contests!”


    “Miss Cooper, I’d love to know if you’d be open to teaming up with us at Finesse Entertainment. I couldn’t wait to see our biggest stars sporting thetest designs from Aurora Apparel Company!”


    “Our Hammersun Group was eager to partner with Aurora Apparel Company too!”


    As invitations to coborate came flooding in, Kolton couldn’t help but smile with delight.


    Aurora Apparel Company had once reigned as the top luxury fashion brand in the nation. However, two years prior, it faced a significant challenge from the up-anding luxury brand, MCN, and had slowly been going downhill ever since.

    MCN had turned into the preferred brand for the modern it-girls, who viewed it as a leader in fashion trends. Meanwhile, Aurora’s designs seemed old-fashioned and could not adapt to contemporary preferences, causing it to lose appeal among younger shoppers. Even though the brand’s reputation held strong, its sales…


    nosedived, and thepany continued to exist only due to the financial support from the Cooper Group.


    Kolton, however, remained unfazed by the situation. He recognized Mariana’s exceptional talent in painting from an early age, so he started guiding her toward a career in fashion design, hoping that she would one day take over Aurora Apparel Company.


    Mariana lived up to his lofty expectations. During her college years, her designs received many des, and this year, she secured several gold medals in design contests. Her creations were daring and innovative, aligning perfectly with contemporary taste.


    With Mariana leading the way, Kolton felt certain that Aurora Apparel Company would soon regain its status as the premier brand in the country.


    Amidst the crowd’s praise, Mariana advanced with a grin, her eyes scanning the room until they stopped on Maia, who was rxing on a sofa in the back.


    She also spotted Chris sitting next to Maia.


    Mariana’s gaze hardened.


    She stifled her annoyance and managed to twist her lips into a smile.


    Then she spoke up, saying, “Ms. Vaughn, I heard that you, as the head designer from MCN, are joining the party tonight. I really admire your work, and I was curious if I might get the opportunity to see you show your design skills here? And I will show mine, too. Maybe it’s a good chance to learn from you.”


    Everyone instinctively trailed after Mariana’s line of sight, their focus converging once more on Maia.
