?Chapter 1077:


    In reality, Ellie had done most of the impressive character designs, with Charlie mainly guiding and approving them. She deserved this award.


    Charlie sighed. “Ellie, the major investor, Briggs, insisted that you be the one to ept the award!”


    Ellie quickly realized what was happening. They knew about her blindness and were using this chance to embarrass her!


    And this embarrassment was very subtle. To the outside world, it looked like a great honor for Ellie! It seemed like they were giving her praise! But in reality, it felt like adding insult to injury, reminding her that this would be her final project in styling.


    “Is it Briggs Evans?” Ellie narrowed her eyes.


    “Yes, Ellie. What did you do to upset him?”


    Before Ellie could respond, Charlie continued, “If you really don’t want to go, you can turn it down. With the Lambert family backing you, Briggs wouldn’t dare make a scene.”


    “I’ll go,” Ellie said.


    Some people were eager to see her embarrassed, so she wasn’t going to give them the satisfaction!


    When she decided to go, the other three in the room turned to look at her.


    Ellie asked May and June to join her at the award ceremony that weekend. Kaiden immediately got in touch with Bruce to clear his schedule for the weekend.


    Bruce had just finished arranging Kaiden’s work. He was at a loss for words. Since Ellie couldn’t handle her own styling anymore, she reached out to Freddy’s studio ahead of time.


    Upon arriving at the studio, she was greeted by a familiar male voice.


    “Ellie! I’ve missed you so much!”


    Freddy usually greeted with open arms but held back when he remembered Kaiden’s previous warning. He deliberately avoided mentioning Ellie’s blindness, treating her like anyone else.


    “Freddy, what are you doing here?” Ellie was pleasantly surprised.

    Freddy was even more amazed. “You recognized me just by my voice? Wow, I’m so honored and thrilled!”


    Ellie didn’t anticipate his over-the-top reaction.


    Freddy quickly got back to business and said, “Aren’t you here for a styling session? Besides you, only I can handle your styling!”


    Freddy was the nominal owner of the studio. When Ellie made her styling appointment, the staff naturally notified him.


    June and a studio assistant helped Ellie into the fitting room to change into her dress.


    “It’s a maternity dress?” Ellie felt her waist and stomach. The satin material seemed a bit roomy around her midsection.


    “I knew you were expecting, so I had this specially made for you! It’s a limited edition!” Freddy, holding a needle and thread, bent down and adjusted Ellie’s waistline right there. “My dear Ellie, you’re going to look like the most stunning pregnant woman!”


    Ellie felt her heart warm at his words. Even though Ellie had helped Freddy when he was struggling, his response exceeded her expectations.


    The award ceremony took ce at a luxury five-star hotel. The news that Ellie would represent the “Peerless Grace” costume team at the ceremony had circted widely, and many reporters were already gathered at the hotel entrance, eager to see if Ellie would appear that evening.
