Chapter 1133


    There was a low murmur that spread through the crowd, heads turned to look toward the stage, and


    almost all eyes were on her.


    “First and foremost, I''d like to give a shout-out to the artists who worked their butts off to shine on


    the Fashion Week stage for my Starlight International, winning us the world''s attention. And of


    course, the real stars of the show are the clothes that dazzled at Fashion Week. Inherent will be


    launching as a sub-brand under Starlight International, hitting the market tomorrow morning at 10


    sharp!”


    As soon as she finished speaking, the audience broke out in apuse.


    In a world where everyone was chasing after renowned luxury brands, it was bloody hard for a new


    clothing brand to rise, especially domestic ones. Making a name internationally was like climbing a


    mountain. Inherent may''ve been a nobody, but their clothes had made waves globally.


    Most people were in awe of Ms. Summers’ business acumen. You wouldn''t realize her genius until


    she pulled something off and you were left thinking, “Oh, that’s how it''s done.”


    These days, most people would build a brand first, spend a ton to get A-list celebs onboard, and


    then increase exposure through media ads and sponsorships. But Chloe flipped the script. If the


    media hadn''t asked, no one would''ve known the brand was called Inherent.


    The clothes got famous first, then came the brand.


    Compared to luxury brands that only sold their name and not quality, this was what people were


    willing to drop their money on.


    And this rise came just as these other world-ss brands were taking their titles for granted and


    acting irresponsibly.


    The things she''d done, you couldn''t list them all, because each one was so well thought-out it made


    you stop and ponder.


    Looking at the reaction from the crowd, Chloe just gave a small smile. Inherent’s sess was no


    surprise; it was all part of her n.


    As the apuse gradually faded, Chloe continued, “Lastly, I''d like to announce Starlight


    International''s newest signing, Crysti.”


    Her gaze turned to Crysti, and all eyes in the room followed, focusing on the girl in the wheelchair.


    But they didn''t overlook the handsome man with a powerful aura sitting next to her.


    Before the apuse hadpletely died down, Chloe started speaking again, “I''m thrilled to


    wee Crysti to Starlight International! Thanks to her, we get to use this swanky venue for our


    celebratory banquet free of charge. A big thank you to our Ms. Watson!”


    Crysti grimaced. ud''s face darkened noticeably. His lips were pulled into a tight line, an icy air


    emanating from him.


    Who said it was free?


    Noticing ud''s obvious displeasure, Chloe smiled and added, “Of course, I''d like to thank Mr.


    Watson for his generosity in providing us with this luxurious venue free of charge.’


    With this kind of praise, ud had no way to argue. Was this woman really this cheap?


    When everyone''s eyes turned to him, ud cracked a small smile and said casually, “No need for


    thanks. Crysti receiving praise from Ms. Summers and signing with Starlight International is a cause


    for celebration. After all, she''s my cousin, it''s only natural | want the best for her.’


    As ud''s words fell, the surrounding crowd once again looked surprised.


    So, Crysti was ud''s cousin! Cousin!


    All eyes were on Crysti.


    She was ud''s cousin. And also, one of the shareholders of The Watson Group. She was like a


    real-life princess!


    Philip looked even more shocked. Although he had a hunch that Crysti might have had some


    connection with The Watson Group, he didn''t expect her to be ud''’s cousin.


    Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    They were blood rtives!


    A significant portion of The Watson Group''s shares were in her hands! She was an heiress of the


    Watson family...


    “But why...”


    He looked at Crysti, his doubt only half-spoken, stuck in his throat.


    Holding Melinda, he unintentionally tightened his grip, causing her waist to ache slightly. Melinda''s


    face turned pale. She looked at Crysti in the wheelchair in disbelief, her mouth slightly agape,


    wanting to say something but unable to.


    “How is this possible?”


    She still didn''t want to believe it. Crysti’s real identity was...


    Willie stood silently to the side, ncing at Chloe on stage and then at Mr. Watson, feeling


    somewhat reflective.


    These two were clearly in cahoots. Otherwise, how could Crysti''s identity be revealed so easily?


    Crysti had been out in the world for so many years, and her family had kept her identity under


    wraps, probably out of fear that someone might have had ill intentions towards her. The elders in


    her family adored her, but they were worried she might’ve been targeted by bad people or be


    deceived by men, so she didn''t reveal her identity, and the family kept it hidden.


    Now that she''d faced unfair treatment, this opportunity was taken to reveal her true identity, so she


    no longer had to endure this alone.


    Once her identity was made public, it meant she had to go home.


    Ms. Summers really did the Watson family a huge favor this time. It was just a free venue, nothing


    compared to getting Crysti to willingly go home.


    However, no one saw it that way, after the shock wore off, the whole venue suddenly became very


    noisy.


    “So she really is from the Watson family! They really kept it under wraps.”


    “She''s like a princess descended to the mortal realm, no wonder she had the nerve to tell some


    people to scram!


    Her status is really high.’


    The few who had conflicts with Melinda before started to smirk.


    "Before, they were all about how being born lucky is the real skill, now that seems like such augh!


    Even if Melinda''s family situation is steady now, how could they everpare with The Watson


    Group?"
