The video turned the tide in an instant–one moment, everything was up in the air, and the next, the tables had turned.


    @Bots, get lost: Who’s running their mouth here? Who’s talking about underage scandals? Come on, show yourselves!


    @Guard Our Idols: Is this what they call childhood sweethearts? You rose to fame, and I paved the way for you… I’m absolutely living for this!


    @The Whitley Group: @Guard Our Idols Hold up, my boss is in this too, and he’s the real deal! The true childhood sweetheart! They’re a perfect


    match-meant to be, fated from the start!


    The yful, jealous retort from The Whitley Group sent everyone online into fits ofughter. The conversation quickly derailed, with fans bantering back and forth, intentionally fueling the ship wars with even greater enthusiasm.


    Within seconds, a new giveaway popped up online.


    Anyone who tags @The Whitley Group and @Alessia,ments “a match made in heaven, destined to be together,” and shares the post, can im $150 with a screenshot-first 10,000 only!


    @Summer Watermelon: I’m dering it now! From this moment, I am officially a super-fan of the CEO of The Whitley Group and Miss Alessia! This pure, wholesome love story is exactly what us ordinary folks need-please, give us more!


    @gg: Oh my God, he really loves her so much.


    The giveaway was Cole’s idea, but since he and Alessia were rushing to the venue, neither of them paid attention to the online frenzy. The reporters had already been cleared from the parking lot by security, so they got into the car without a hitch.


    “There’s still plenty of time. Let’s grab something to eat first, then head to the exhibition hall.”

    Alessia nodded, perfectly content with Cole’s n.


    Meanwhile, at the exhibit, the team was putting the finishing touches on the setup. The livestream equipment had been tested


    thoroughly-nothing left to chance.


    As showtime approached, guests began to arrive one after another.


    Cole and Justin took seats at the very back, while Ste and Alessia stayed backstage, looking for anyst-minute ways to help.


    “How do I look?” Queenie emerged, having changed, and did a little spin in front of them. Even with minimal makeup, she looked stunning; the simple white dress highlighted her gentle beauty.


    “Like an angel,” Ste grinned, winking at her. Her yful tone made Queenie rx a bit.


    “You look amazing,” Alessia said, giving her a thumbs up.


    The dress had been custom made for Queenie, perfectly entuating her figure and grace without stealing the spotlight. The strapless design left enough space to showcase the ne centerpiece.


    It was elegant but not overpowering-just right.


    With Ste and Alessia’s support, Queenie felt most of her nerves melt away. Having her best friends by her side on such an important night meant that, even if something did go wrong, she wouldn’t panic.


    Besides, with them around, nothing bad was going to happen.


    “Go get your makeup done-we’ll head out front and wait for the show to start. This is our turf-go big, or go home.” Ste gave Queenie’s shoulder an encouraging squeeze.


    Queenie smiled and nodded, watching them leave.


    Soon after, the lights dimmed and the promotional video began to y. Each jewelry design was showcased one by one, except for the final piece-which was kept hidden, sparking everyone’s curiosity.

    When the video ended and the lights came up, Queenie stood center stage, poised and graceful as she greeted the audience. Her long hair was elegantly pinned up, and even her hairpin was a piece from the new collection.


    The blend of modern dress and vintage-style hairpin was surprisingly harmonious, seamlessly fusing the old and new and making Queenie look even more refined.


    “Wee, everyone, to the Awe Studiosunch of our newest collection-The Original Tree of Life Collection.”


    No sob stories, no tales of hardship or creative struggle-Queenie got straight to the point.
