Chapter 1317


    After a moment of pondering, Chloe suddenly got up and strode towards the stage.


    Becky, panting on the side, was taken aback by Chloe’s sudden move. Before she could process


    what was happening, her view was blocked by a bodyguard rushing in front of her.


    Chloe, escorted by the bodyguard, made her way to the edge of the runway. She patted the worried


    Miles, who was standing helplessly wondering if his bride was going to be stolen away.


    “Ms. Summers…” Miles nced at Chloe.


    Chloe gave a small smile and pointed at the Scottish bagpipes in his hands.


    “What?” Miles was confused.


    Chloe let out a sigh. “Hand it over.”


    Though still puzzled, Miles gave Chloe the bagpipes. Chloe took it, shook her head at Miles‘


    frequent nces towards Katie, and said something to the bodyguard.


    Next thing you know, the bodyguard did a swift flip on stage and shoved Miles, who was


    dumbfounded. Miles stumbled forward a couple of steps, was shoved again, and this time was sent


    straight under the spotlight.


    Everyone turned to look at him.


    “Oh! Herees the groom!”


    “Unveil the bride, groom!”


    “Your bride’s been waiting for you!”

    Dressed in a dapper suit, Miles matched perfectly with Katie’s vintage gown. Hearing the


    commotion, Katie turned her head, and sure enough, there stood Miles. The moment their eyes


    met, the room fell silent. What was supposed to be a heartfelt reunion was interrupted by the


    bodyguard, who pushed Miles once more. After another stumble, Miles was suddenly pushed


    towards Katie. She instinctively caught him. Miles steadied himself, his gaze again meeting Katie’s


    eyes peeking out from behind her red veil. He was stunned.


    “Oh, they’re together now!”


    “Go ahead, groom, you can kiss the bride now!”


    “Wow..”


    The crowd erupted.


    Chloe watched their secretive nces and chuckled, adjusted the bagpipes, took a deep breath,


    and began to y.


    The familiar tune of ‘Fate and Destiny‘ filled the air, the cheerful melody pushing the atmosphere to


    a climax.


    The joy of their reunion was palpable, filled with flirtation and shyness. Egged on by the crowd,


    Miles‘ ears turned red, and Katie bit her lip, her eyes shimmering with shyness, not knowing what to


    do next. She tried to let go of Miles‘ hand, only to have him instinctively hold on tighter.


    “Katie…” Miles called her name softly. Katie blushed and quickly lowered her head.


    “Take off that vei!”


    The crowd began to chant, eager to see the bride’s true face. Miles stared at Katie’s face, his heart


    pounding. After a long moment, he reached up and pulled off her veil, revealing the face he had


    sketched every detail of. Yet, at that moment, Miles felt his heart stop.


    He looked at Katie in a daze, as if he was in a dream. Katie also looked up at him, her longshes


    fluttering shyly.


    Even Chloe, who had seen Katie all along, had to pause at her beauty. Katie, in her red gown, her


    long hair flowing, her pearl earrings sparkling was utterly beautiful. She was like a paintinge to


    life, graceful and dazzling.


    When her veil was lifted, it seemed like all the air was sucked out of the room.


    Chloe was momentarily stunned. Katie was beyond earthly beauty. The one responsible for her


    transformation was Miles, standing before her. What a marvelous twist of fate.


    Who would have thought that this woman, who was once self–conscious about her looks, could be


    so beautiful?


    “Oh my God…”


    “She’s so beautiful…”


    “I’m going crazy, she’s too beautiful, I want that. If I ever get married, I want to look just like her, that


    red dress is amazing!!!”


    “If I ever get married, I want to give my wife a special wedding like this. She would love it…”


    The crowd was buzzing, everyone was captivated by Katie’s transformation.


    After Chloe’s performance, people were still excited, taking out their phones to take pictures of Katie


    and Miles. Chloe nced at the judges‘ table, saw the nods of approval, and knew they were likely


    to do well in thepetition.


    The votes from the hundred–person audience wouldn’t be a problem either.


    Chloe smiled at Katie again, still finding her incredibly special, possessing a unique beauty that


    blended both past and present aesthetics.


    Just as everyone was buzzing, Jacob behind her snorted. “Is this really okay? You have to


    remember, this is an international makeuppetition, not your stage to perform a drama. The


    final decision will still be based on makeup skills and techniques!”


    “Makeup skills and techniques? Isn’t it all about looking good in the end?”


    “Exactly, if everyone thinks someone looks good, isn’t that a testament to their makeup skills and


    techniques?”


    “When Beverly appeared, we all thought she was beautiful. But now,pared to the red bride, we


    find the red bride more beautiful! So, Miles‘ makeup skills and


    techniques must be the best, right?”


    “Plus, Miles‘ makeup is innovative and daring, far surpassing your repetitive white gowns and


    weddings!”


    “Yes, over the years, there’s been too much repetition, we need innovation!”


    “Traditional yet innovative, it’s just too beautiful!”
