?Chapter 271:


    The surroundings fell silent abruptly, and the derisive smiles froze in ce.


    “Oh, I really appreciate it.” Ellie smiled and said apologetically, “I rushed out today and forgot to bring flowers as a token.”


    “Miss Gordon, I’m confident Freddy would dere your presence the finest gift.”


    Even after the person in charge departed, those around remained perplexed.


    “Did I just imagine things?”


    “What’s going on?”


    Genesis’ expression soured upon seeing Ellie in the seat that had been vacant for four years. She questioned, “Why are you…”


    ncing at Genesis, Ellie exined, “I forgot to mention that Kaiden didn’t send me the invitation. It’s from Freddy.”


    Over the next two hours, Ellie immersed herself in the spectacle on stage. However, everyone else remained in a state of disbelief. Genesis, in particr, wore a look of utter dismay. She believed she held the highest status in the audience, only to be surpassed unexpectedly by Ellie.


    Following the show, Freddy, the designer, took the stage for a speech.


    Freddy, a man in his thirties, exuded sophistication with deep and elegant facial features. Dressed in fashion, his green eyes held a captivating beauty. Contrary to his usual arrogant demeanor as a talented designer, today he wore a genuine smile.


    Observers noted that Freddy’s gaze remained fixated on the young woman in the center seat.


    Following Freddy’s speech, the floor opened for questions.


    Eagerly rising, a reporter addressed Freddy, “Mr. Lynn, I have a question. Over the past four years and six private shows, the center seat has consistently been empty. Why is there ady upying it today?”


    “Isn’t it evident? This seat was reserved for her,” Freddy responded with a helpless shrug. “The reason I kept the center seat vacant was because thisdy declined to attend. She was consistently upied or found it inconvenient to travel abroad, so I organized the show in her hometown. Now, she has no reason to miss it.” His final words were directed at Ellie. The crowd erupted in chaos.

    “Is thatdy? Turning down Freddy six times in a row. Is she out of her mind?”


    “Is that Ellie? I assumed she got in with Kaiden’s assistance, but it turns out it’s because of Freddy. How did Ellie be acquainted with Freddy?”


    Within the auditorium, cameras from all the reporters shed, focusing on the young woman in the center seat.


    Ellie appeared indifferent, treating Freddy’s words as a trivial matter not worth acknowledging. The ck velvet dress bestowed on her a regal aura.


    She offered a resigned smile, stating, “I’m genuinely upied.” The coveted center seat at the fashion show, vacant in the fashion circle for four years, was now designated for Ellie.


    Numerous affluentdies and daughters of powerful families vied for invitations to Freddy’s show. However, Ellie had been absent from Freddy’s show for four years.
